Chapter 167

Imperial family regular meeting.

If there are no special problems, it is an event held on the 1st and 15th of every month, and it is an important day to discuss important matters of the imperial family.

Instead, it is a story when there is a major event, and there are many more days when there is not, so in many cases the large-scale banquet of socialites held on the evening of the day becomes the main event.

Not today.

“Why are you making that face?”

Tania smiled brightly and asked the child who was getting her hair done by a lady-in-waiting alongside her.

Even if they look the same blonde, if you look closely, the child’s side is much brighter. Is it because I like to sleep? I feel sorry for such a child.

“It’s just, it’s amazing. Asking your sister for a favor.”

It’s not just about listening to requests.

Even in this situation, it is the same.

It was rare for Ainim to stand side by side with Tania in the first place.

It was because Marquis Tippole was extremely wary of Ainim. Since she had been like that since she was very young, Tania had no choice but to push Ai-nim away.

Knowing Tania’s situation, even though she knew that she didn’t hate her, the child gradually became unable to get close to Tania.

When we occasionally sat side by side at something like a regular meeting, we only had a few words of conversation.

“Huh, there was someone who said he would save me. I didn’t know that I would pass the burden on you. Are you offended?”

“right. Rocks is a jerk. Always speak well.”

“I guess that’s why I believe in you.”

“… … yes.”

Ai nodded slowly.

My younger brother, who was an unpredictable tomboy and ran around, was just as cute as ever, but I was worried because there were so many accidents.

Since when did Ai change? Thoughts were always deep, but I wonder if my behavior has grown a little.

Of course, in Tania’s eyes, it’s still cute either way.

As soon as the ladies-in-waiting left after tidying up their hair, Tania hugged the child tightly.

“Ah, why all of a sudden?”

“In the past, it fit snugly into my bosom.”

“When is it?”

“It still fits comfortably in my arms.”

“What?”

“It’s a joke.”

Tania brushed the bangs of the child who was looking up at her with a dissatisfied face.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

How many threats have you suffered from invisible places? I couldn’t help it. Even if he hated himself for being ugly, he had no choice but to accept it.

Even so, it is still clear and beautiful eyes. It is a pure and beautiful heart.

Despite growing up facing all sorts of storms, only the part Tania liked remained the same.

“Why are you shaking? Are you nervous?”

“no. It’s just that my sister has never done anything like this… … .”

“I’ll do a lot in the future.”

“Yes.”

Maybe it’s because he’s not familiar with himself like this.

It’s a pity that someone else gave me the share I couldn’t spare, but it’s not too late from now on.

“Shall we go?”

The preparations are over.

Tania left the dressing room side by side with Ainim and headed for the conference hall.

While passing the long desk, the gazes facing each other are sharp. what are we going to do now The expression of Marquis Tipol is truly spectacle.

‘P.’

Maybe the playfulness of the kid next to him moved. Tania slipped her tongue out at Marquis Tipol.

Originally, there were wrinkles, but now I feel relieved when I see a completely distorted face.

Tania whispered to the child with a smile on her face.

“Ugh, the corners of your eyes are already scary.”

“Stay close by your side.”

“I was going to do that anyway.”

The seating area is right next to it.

Tania patted the trembling Vector’s foot once and sat down.

The meeting begins as soon as the late emperor, Gawil, sits down.

“Today’s agenda is two.”

“Three.”

“Well?”

Gawil, who was looking at the documents, looked at Tania with a puzzled face. It was a very admirable performance.

“It is written that there are two things: summoning court mages to prepare for the attack of monsters and reinforcements to Riden. Was it misrepresented?”

“no. Sorry for not uploading earlier. Because my life depends on it.”

“That’s an interesting joke, Tania. Are you saying that someone is threatening your life, the princess of this empire? Tell me where.”

In an instant, silence fell in the hall.

Thirty people of great importance in the empire gathered around a long desk.

It is unacceptable to joke in this solemn place. The emperor chuckled and laid out a cushion.

“I.”

now you have to say It felt as if something was going to stir up inside me.

My throat tickles.

I say this one word.

You’ve been patient too long.

“I will give up my right to succeed.”

* * *

The meeting broke down.

Tania’s sudden announcement caused a great uproar, but the emperor dismissed it.

‘I will respect your opinion.’

Above all, the existing agenda was also a very important issue. Because it was a major national crisis called the monster attack.

It was a good thing for Gawil.

Since all eyes were on Tania, there was no resistance despite sending an excessive amount of reinforcements to Riden. It would disappear in a few days anyway, so even if there was a backlash, I was going to push through.

And Tania stood up from the last remaining meeting room.

“Now it begins.”

“yes.”

Holding her child’s hand tightly, Tania, as always, slowly walked towards the imperial garden.

There had never been a time when her small hands, which seemed so cute, were so trustworthy.

Eventually, when we reached the garden.

“What a trick.”

With a group of armed men, they encountered the Marquis of Tipol, whose face was flushed red.

It wasn’t just his face that was hot, his clenched fists trembled.

Tania asked leisurely.

“Where are the attendants gone?”

“Answer the question. Do you know what you’ve been doing? Do you think everything that says that it has a snout is a horse!”

“Baby, be noisy. shut up I wanted to say it several times, but your breath stinks.”

“What, what… … .”

“You see this? Our children are so despondent.”

Tania murmured softly as she gently touched the flowers in the garden. Of course, it was all large enough for Marquis Tippole to hear.

“Sorry, does it smell bad? Even an ugly man has eyes to see, so he talks to a pretty person like me.”

“Four years… … .”

“Ah, indeed. I understand.”

Rocktrin said so.

If you can afford it, go see Cyryn Yuxilla and learn how to make people angry.

‘It’s a childish way, but there’s no such thing in politics. But I don’t know if the princess can learn these things?’

I was wondering what that meant, but now I understand. It wasn’t acting, it was really fun, so I laughed.

don’t talk to the other person

If the other person is anxious about a topic, there is no need to bring it up yourself.

Especially if it’s a naive or insulting comment, it’s more effective for someone you’ve never heard of.

And if the other person is a man around this time.

“Isn’t it? At that age, it’ll be cool. I guess I’m not on good terms with my wife.”

“Right now, that year… … .”

thud!

Marquis Tipol, who took a rough step, stopped with just that one step.

The private of Marquis Tipol also stopped beside him in a hesitant posture. It was because Ainim blocked Tania’s way.

The child who had been silent for so long uttered a low voice.

“right now?”

The soldiers hardened like stone.

In fact, Tania had no power.

You can’t bring a sword inside the imperial palace, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use force at all.

Since her life was being held as a mortgage, Tania had no choice but to always follow Marquis Tipol’s orders.

“Tipole, what are you going to do right now?”

“… … Didn’t His Highness hear it too!”

However, Marquis Tipol had to move his mouth, not his limbs.

It was because what was in front of him was not Tania, but Ainim.

“How can I hear such insulting words!”

“My sister always whispered to the flowers in the garden alone. You can gossip behind your back, and wouldn’t you be the one who sneaked in and overheard it?”

“… … majesty.”

Tipul wasn’t an idiot, so he must have noticed. There must have been some trickery going on between the two. But do you know the big changes behind this?

Deep inside Rockstrin’s head, can you understand even a hair’s length of it?

It can’t be.

“Whatever you think, you are making a mistake. It’s not going to be that simple.”

“No, Tipol. It’s over.”

Ainim pointed at Marquis Tipol with his finger and said.

“If you die, it’s simply over.”

“What are you talking about?”

It felt like my heart was sinking.

Because he knew that a ball of fire could come out of his fingertips and burn himself.

Without even the usual playfulness, Ai-sama seemed to have become a completely different person.

“I will warn you in advance. Big things are going to happen soon. The imperial palace will become a mess.”

“I know that much… … .”

“No, I don’t know.”

If it was Tane’s treason, he would be waiting. If he was looking for an opportunity, Tania could easily and legitimately succeed to the throne.

“Then I will kill you.”

“Yes?”

I asked like an idiot.

I couldn’t help but doubt my ears.

It was not something that would come out of the mouth of a princess.

“What did you just say… … ?”

“why? You’ve probably tried to kill me over a hundred times, wouldn’t it be possible if things were that dizzy? Taking advantage of the chaos, ah, I thought it was someone else. Yes, that is a mistake.”

There have been numerous assassination attempts.

Of course, there were only things that were clumsy and unreasonable to call an assassination attempt, but it was a very tiring day.

The reason he had to let it go even after knowing it was that he couldn’t catch the tail if he decided to pull it out, but it was because he was a very important person in the empire.

Things are different now.

“There is a difference in level, so I’ll try it three times. Can’t I just die? Because it’s no fun.”

“… … .”

Seriously.

Marquis Tipol, who had been filled with anger until just a moment ago, felt an insurmountable fear.

The hesitant feet quickly turn around and leave the garden. Ainim smiled broadly and spoke to Tania.

“how was it?”

“It was like a tyrant.”

“It’s a secret because Rox will hate it if he finds out.”

“I guess so.”

After Marquis Tipol and his soldiers retreated. Tania casually sat down at the tea table and poured tea for the child.

I was a little frustrated.

It was that simple. Tania muttered softly.

“Sorry.”

“why?”

“I’ve been waiting for a prince on a white horse for 20 years.”

“The princess is higher than the prince?”

“Huh, you should try to be this age too.”

Tania smiled bitterly and took a sip of the warm tea.

Ainim looked back at the place where Marquis Tipol had disappeared and said, as if he was still worried.

“Is Tipol made of this?”

“A person who puts his comfort first can be appeased by scaring him. Especially if you have a lot of thoughts like Tipol.”

“Who isn’t like that?”

“I wish I could convince you.”

Thein von Rongrth.

I remember those empty eyes.

“Probably not.”

He will need action, not just words.
