Stranger’s Handbook

108 Arriving in Imperial Capital

"Zest, I'm sorry you had to come to the Imperial City with your weight Beatrice."

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. He's married to Tsubaki, so you can't possibly not see him."

When we arrived in Imperial Capital, a secret meeting with His Majesty was waiting for us first

Beat left it in his room.

I was planning on bringing him in...

"Your wife is tired. A secret meeting with His Majesty? My husband is enough. Your Majesty and Your Ladyship... without comparing, we will give priority to your wife's health."

Su told me I was busy, Tobotobo. I'm in a secret meeting.

... Well, that would be the word because I'm worried about Beato

"Is Beatrice okay? Don't even bother to look. Duke of weight, so no one complains"

"It would help if you could do that. You still seem tired."

No... it's hard to think this sire's head is a rash...

I twisted my legs so I wouldn't laugh desperately

"Of course. Tomorrow you'll be the only one watching. And then... well, he should arrive from Elf's country in two days. You don't have to go to the ball, just let me attend a face-to-face meeting."

"Is it a ball...... I escort the Tsubaki, right?

It's a ball... well, it's the biggest event in the country.

If you don't make a big deal out of it, it's gonna involve Ments...

"You have to leave because it tastes bad. Be careful with that stupid prince."

"... Prince Fool... is it?

Face to face, Your Grace.

What, are you that stupid? Give me a break.

"Please, don't kill me, okay? The escort must have someone with him, but the foreign minister snuck up on his last visitor..."

"... well, you're kept alive... its prince"

"You're an elf royal. Because of their long life expectancy, they treat children about 20 years old. Besides, elves are rare to get pregnant... that's why."

"I'm a child at last..."

"Well, they were clandestine elves. It's been a long time since I've been in our empire because of this spiritualization."

"I see... I'm sorry about the Foreign Secretary"

"" Ha... "

I sighed unexpectedly and synchronized with His Majesty

There's a lot of meaning behind this conversation right now.

First of all, he's a stupid prince.

No matter how close the meeting is, your majesty is so stupid as to make it clear he's a stupid prince.

Plus, don't kill me, okay?

You can't complain if they kill you. It means you're an idiot.

Next, you're the Foreign Secretary.

Minister of Foreign Affairs in a country of elves in a clandestine state? You're gonna make me laugh.

Window clan or just a minister's messenger for the title I guess...

The elves were supposed to be externally informed to celebrate spiritualization.

I didn't know that would be my dowry...

The minister often transitions left... if it's bad, it's the death penalty...

Which means a lot of elves are coming this time to take care of it.

It's going to be a problem...

"" Ha... "

Me and His Majesty, looking at each other, were sighing again...

"But the upper management over there is allowed to marry, right?

"That's why. Prince Fool forced me to sign you up. I knew I'd stop you. What can you say?

"... you can't"

"Right?

"When that happens, let me say no from here... or I will direct you so that there is no..."

"I guess that's the place. That's why I left Zest with Tubbaki's tutoring."

"It's education, Your Majesty."

"Come on, come on, you're a tutor. We owe it to Zest. Lend one to the royal family, convince me."

With serious eyes, sire to gaze upon

I didn't know I was going to explicitly lend you... did the rash thing work?

I'll give Toto a treat.

"I'm convinced. I'm glad to hear that."

"I can't make you my enemy. Why don't you stay in the empire?

nigga laughing Your Majesty began laughing lavishly

"Ha! In the meantime, take a rest with Beatrice. That's all there is to know about the elves. Anything from you?

answered His Majesty, who drank up a cup of tea with a little thought

"Well...... of the otherworlds, I consider Beato an important wife. If the wife is happy, I'll be patient."

"... ok. I'll never forget that word."

I bowed my head to His Majesty, who nodded with a serious face, and I decided to go back to my room.

That would have made sense.

I was on my way to Beato's waiting room in a hurry.

in a room for the Duke, prepared in the castle

"Welcome home, sir."

"How's Beat? Su."

"I'm off now. Toto is with you."

"Well, then I'll have some tea."

Sit on the couch and drink the tea prepared by Su

Oh, man, I'm finally settled.

"Sir, what happened to your conversation with His Majesty?

I have to explain something to Su of the decree.

It's like a secretary... and I get a lot of scheduling done.

"I'm the only one who sees tomorrow. The elves will come as a guide in two days. I'll have Beato leave just for the face-to-face meeting in my body, so I'll be fine. I'm the escort for the ball."

"Yes, I did. Then that's how we'll arrange it. Sir, can I help you?

I'll think about it when you tell me, but nothing in particular.

"No, I can't think of anything in particular"

"Then why don't you give your wife something? Have you given me anything lately?

... Speaking of which, not at all.

"I hear you feel anxious or frustrated during pregnancy. Your husband will be delighted to give you a gift."

"Right...... get me a merchant. Let's see what we got."

Suh...... great care

This is it... this wasn't enough for my house

"Yes, I did. Merchants will be associated with Tanya. Let her surround herself with the Duke's house."

"That doesn't matter. I got it."

Suck, head down and leave su

Wonderful... can I have so much fun...

What have I ever been?

If it's going to be so much easier, you should have put the decree down soon

Drink tea while admiring the excellent su

You can't go shopping in the city, so you're gonna have to call it in.

It's troublesome when you're born.

Why don't you go visit the city once in a while with your patience?

Eat cookies poly with that in mind

I'm free because Beato and Toto are asleep.

"Lord Zest, it is the use of Lamia"

Sounds like the whole time is over.

I could hear a woman following the sound of a knock from outside the door

"Get in."

"Excuse me, sir."

This is what the maid who came into the room told me to bow her head.

"Lady Larmia has deposited a letter with you asking you to make sure you hand it to His Excellency Zest. This way."

Receive a letter from the maid and check the seal on the back

No doubt it belongs to my stepmother, Larmia.

"Let's check it out right away. Wait outside the room."

Make sure the maid leaves the room and open the letter

When I looked inside it was something that made my head ache

My son-in-law.

Long time no see, how have you been?

I'll skip saying hello because I'm in a hurry.

There's a lot of insinuation in the nobility that wants to shatter your power by smashing this marriage.

I crushed some of them, but I can't do all of them.

I want you to come see me as soon as possible... because I need to talk to you.

Why don't you just come to my room tonight? You don't want Beato to worry, do you?

It's as late as possible, right? You're gonna hit me so I can't be seen, aren't you?

Don't worry, I can trust that maid. If you really can't come see me, say "I'll deliver the letter later".

If you can do this, say "okay" and I'll pass it on.

Well, nice to meet you!

Better Than A Kind Stepmother '

... are you sweet?... let's just say it's kind.

Call a maid to wait outside and tell her the answer

"Okay. Yes, tell me."

"Yes, I did. Okay, take this."

They handed me the keys to the room.

... Mother-in-law, you want me to sneak into a woman's room in the middle of the night?

That's a situation that's going to have a lot of problems...

Hope nothing happens...............
