Berta was visiting the palace of Queen Wang to greet her, together with a report on the date of the visit set.
"It's tough. Prince Louis would like to be sweet."
"It's only close. I'm still at ease. The next Vawela will be back in a few days."
As a result of various circumstances, there were two cities left in the option of the new King's Capital.
One of them, Vauera, is a city within a day's travel of the current King's Capital.
"Right. It's a good place nearby. There's a royal tomb mark over there, so I've been there many times already."
"I also finally get to greet the temple of His Majesty the former King. I've been married for three years and I've been unfaithful."
When people in Wang capital hear about Vawela, they think of it as a cemetery first.
When I entered the Wang capital, I was surprised to hear that the royal tomb marks were in a different city from the Wang capital.
Regardless of the proposal to set up the city as a cemetery in a new king's capital, it was a pleasure for Berta to have the opportunity to visit the temple of the former king, who is also his stepfather.
"It's okay. I'm not used to visiting graves much in Prospero originally, and it's enough for you to care that way."
Empress Wang slowly placed the tea vessel in her hand on the table with a soft grin.
"Mr. Berta is a good wife. Take care of your fiancée and be a kind and wise mother to your child."
The relationship between Queen Wang and Berta is much better. Even though socializing with her, my stepmother, was intimate, I had frequent opportunities to see her these days.
However, Berta waited ahead because she never came forward with such a forethought in words.
I was somewhat anticipating what they would say.
"... but, Mr. Berta. That's not what I was expecting from you."
The attitude of Berta, who couldn't boil it off these days, was probably not what the Queen Wang wanted.
In the days of Her Majesty the Former King, Queen Wang was also a queen who intervened strongly in the politics of the table, and after the passing of her husband, she was also a jewel who took on the role of regent.
"I don't really follow everything Harold does to my husband."
Queen Wang was probably hoping that Berta would move a little more aggressively if she stood as queen.
And I guess I'm just somewhat disappointed for what I had high expectations.
"... Yes"
"Harold is certainly said to be a famous man, but that's also a comparison to the bottom line, that a king is precious like getting seriously to a conference seat tomorrow. As a monarch, you're doing the right thing, or it's your wife's job to watch."
Queen Wang has a rather sharp view of the work of her son, Harold.
Her harshness is also a reversal of her affection, and she can't help but criticize Harold hard and at the same time try to support his reign.
I feel that trying to educate Berta to the queen she thinks she is is part of this.
"I understand. As things stand, I won't be out in the morning, and I don't know the right or the left unless you teach and guide Her Majesty the King. … We need a little time now to be able to work according to your wishes, Queen Wang"
I appreciate the push from Queen Wang, one way or the other, but she's fundamentally thinking about Harold. And there seemed to be some confusion about the perception of Berta.
Berta, who tried to get away with it for the first time without difficulty, might have looked more and more like an attitude to her as a special daughter-in-law that she did not like.
"If that's what you say, fine. Anyway, avoid what you see as weak hips."
There were as many foreign ambassadors in the present royal palace who came to value women from the south, as well as remnants of conservatives and emerging factions who were isolated in Berta.
"Yes, I will think carefully about how my actions will be seen from around me."
The foreign countries have been quietly observing the political situation that revolved around the Queen of the South for a moment, but I don't know how long they will do that either.
"I'm not, Mr. Berta. That's not what I'm trying to say."
Berta turned her thoughts to the outside mornings these days, but Queen Wang also showed her sinister face on the surface for the first time that day, as she was in such a hurry for Berta.
"I'm talking about a more personal relationship between you and Harold."
"Eh, ah, yes"
Queen Wang had a familiar story unexpectedly.
"I'm not, I'm telling Harold not to lick me. Mr. Berta just assumed that polygamy was married from a weak area of customary women. Although it sounds good when it comes to Jin-sook."
"No, it's not like that either."
Berta's perception of trying to live in either the south or the Wang Capital did not mean that the special woman's position was weak in the south, but from the point of view of the Queen Wang, it seems so organized.
"... good thing. It's the first thing that matters."
Not knowing how far what she was saying was the advice that stepped into the inner affairs of her son and his wife, Berta returns a raw reply, savoring the inconvenience.
"Ha."
"I'm getting worried."
Queen Wang looked like a parent scolding an impossible toddler and sighed one.
