The Emperor must have just finished a general assembly, wearing a gold crown and a purple cape.
Agatha and Enoch immediately stood up and showed courtesy.
“I see the sun of the empire.”
“Welcome, Agatha. It’s been a while since Marquis Aratus.”
The Emperor, who came in smiling, seemed to be in a very good mood.
The Emperor, lightly dressed, sat down at the head table and asked.
"Yes. The Marquis asked my goddaughter to marry you?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Enoch sat down and answered politely.
“The goddaughters of me and a war hero. Hehe, that’s a very good combination.”
First of all, it means that the person you want to marry catches your eye.
The Emperor smiled happily and then turned to Agatha.
“The Marquis was there before, so I won’t go into detail. Are you ready?”
“I did my best to thank Your Majesty for your consideration.”
"Yes?"
The proposal prepared by Agatha went up to the Emperor through the Chamberlain.
[ On the development of new trade routes to the Eastern Continent and increase in tax revenue]
The corners of the emperor's mouth softened as he checked the first page.
“As expected, my goddaughter. As if she had come into my heart, she came back with a perfect husband and an alternative solution.”
“That’s too much praise. Since we're in the market, why not eat and look around? We also have plans for the next time.”
“Really? Still, since it was our first luncheon in a long time, we saved plenty of time. Don’t misunderstand the Marquis either.”
So saying, the Emperor waved the bell. The chamberlain prepared wine and let his words slip slightly.
“His Majesty told us to select and prepare only the best foods for the Lady and the Marquis today.”
"Is it so? I'm really looking forward to it. The chef here is good at cooking dishes that perfectly suit my taste.”
Agatha smiled and spoke to Enoch. Meanwhile, the Emperor was looking over the proposal, smiling with satisfaction.
He probably won't find any problems at all. It has been prepared to suit the Emperor's tastes.
The first appetizer was salmon.
Fresh fish fillet topped with various vegetables and slightly sweetened with just the right amount of seasoning.
It was the work of the Emperor's direct chef, who had an accurate understanding of Agatha's preferences.
Enoch asked as Agatha emptied the hors d'oeuvres neatly one after another while the Emperor was eating and drinking.
“It seems like you like seafood.”
"Yes. I like all types of boneless raw fish. If we go to a coastal city, shall we go fishing together? I’m not very good at it, but I really enjoy cooking and eating freshly caught fish.”
Enoch, who was silent for a moment, spoke.
“I’ve caught fish in the river before, and I hope that experience will be helpful.”
“When you were young?”
"No. Sometimes on the battlefield, when there was a shortage of supplies, we would procure them locally, and I even caught a few of them.”
All sorts of things happen on the battlefield.
Agatha, who had received a large steak as the main dish, suddenly became concerned about his nutritional status.
“The two soon-to-be-married people are getting along so well, so I have nothing to worry about anymore!”
The Emperor chuckled and put the reviewed proposal aside. After catching a glimpse of Enoch for a moment, Agatha lowered her head.
“I am very grateful, Your Majesty. How did you like the agenda I prepared?”
“Ah, why are you being so polite? You must have let me down at least once.”
The Emperor gulped down his wine cheerfully. To be honest, the price Agatha had to pay for choosing the husband she wanted was not small.
She planned to provide a considerable amount of gold for the expansion of ports and cities, and above all, she made significant concessions on the rate of customs duties to be paid to the imperial family.
"Marquis. My goddaughter is also smart and treats her godfather well. I need you to take great care of Agatha. Yes? I will be watching you with both eyes open.”
The Emperor, who had been scolding Enoch for no reason, secretly opened his eyes and asked. Food was still a priority for him.
"Yes. When are you planning to get married? The faster we do it, the better.”
“It’s good to be early, but we also need time to prepare, so it will have to be next month, Your Majesty. If you decide sometime next month, I will follow Your Majesty’s wishes.”
"yes. Then early next month would be good...”
The Emperor paused for a moment before adding with great deliberation.
“I will send a message to the envoy dispatched to the Mainukor Empire today. A month will be enough to get an answer, and then you will have to come forward. Do you have the time?”
“...”
It is said that it is possible to prepare a wedding in just one month by investing in gold and materials, but the protagonist can't take the time to do so.
“Hmm, Agatha, you should probably visit Pallavi Island at least once. We need to expand the city and port, and maybe even allocate a district to the Mainukor Empire...”
The Emperor's words became endlessly long. In the end, it was said that there was no time.
From Agatha's perspective, she also had plans to proceed with the negotiations slowly.
From the perspective of a greedy Emperor who had already almost completed the new trade project with the Eastern Continent, no way could be tolerated.
Agatha thought for a moment and sighed.
“Then shall we postpone the wedding for a while? The Mainukor Empire will also want to check out Pallavi Island, so if I meet them there-”
“Agatha.”
"Yes?"
Agatha opened her eyes wide. Enoch, who had politely but firmly cut her off, was staring at her.
“It’s a long journey to get to Pallavi Island. Besides, wouldn’t it be safer for you to have a husband before meeting the envoy of the Mainukor Empire?”
“Yeah, that’s right. The Mainukor Empire may ask you to marry them again...”
The Emperor suddenly agreed.
Agatha also felt somewhat dazed.
A man who came into this dining room and was silent unless he was asked a question was the first to speak.
“And didn’t you say you wanted to go to an island or a coastal city?”
Setting down the dishes neatly, the man holding a glass of red wine whispered softly.
“Get married and include Pallavi Island in your honeymoon itinerary. I have no intention of sending you alone, so it might be a good idea for us to go together.”
The palace of the second Prince of the Mainukor Empire.
In a bedroom full of extravagant red draperies and gold threads, other skin colors are rampant besides 2nd Prince Fernand Mainumconti.
He, who was also Agatha's second ex-husband, was slowly waking up to the sound of something tapping on the window.
“Uh, what is it?”
Spotless silver hair, lustful red eyes, a smooth face, and a moderately muscular body.
The second-best playboy in the Mainukor Empire moved his body like lightning the moment he saw the foreground."
“Ugh, my dear...?”
Normally, he would have told him to sleep some more, but he was busy checking the communication right now.
A few long lines of sentences were written on rolled-up paper.
“...You’re getting married again?”
After checking the contents, Fernand gritted his teeth. It has already been ten years since Agatha divorced him.
Agatha has not been anywhere near the Mainukor Empire since then.
Fernand, who had always regretted his divorce, missed Agatha and had no choice but to always follow her steps.
10 years since then.
Agatha was of great interest to the nobles, and she had relatives who were just as interested in her, so it wasn't difficult to track her whereabouts.
It's only been a couple of months since her last divorce.
She's getting married again. This time, it was a ferocious man with scars on his face, perhaps a war hero.
“Isn’t this enough? If you got married and divorced like that, it’s time to find a partner among your familiar ex-husbands!”
They say the old officer was a famous officer.
Frankly, Fernand thought he was better than all the men in the world.
Handsome! Have a good night! I am confident that I will do well when I get married again this time!
“This perfect candidate is waiting for you!”
“...”
All the women were holding their breath, knowing that there would be no benefit in touching Fernand at a time like this.
He was upset for a while and then screamed.
“Is there anyone out there?”
“Yes, 2nd Prince. The chamberlain is here!”
“I’m going to the office. Get ready now!”
“Yes, Sir!”
First, he needs to find out in detail who this opponent is. Fernand, wearing only a robe, confidently left the bedroom.
Agatha, who returned to the first residence of Nobilis in the capital, went on a social outing for the first time in a long time. It had been about a week since her wedding was scheduled for a month later.
The place where she held her huge salon was Nerta Hill, on the outskirts of the capital, which was beautiful, but for other reasons, the number of visitors was controlled through reservations.
Agatha solved the location problem by renting out a hill for one day.
Numerous noble ladies and ladies responded to the invitation, and the security forces and imperial knights were also dispatched to ensure their safety.
The weather was clear as if blessing a long outing.
Ahead of the valley, many nobles' gazebos were set up on a hill filled with late spring and early summer flowers.
Agatha was wearing a cocktail hat made of ribbon and veil and a dress dyed with bright blue dye.
The gazebo was in the center of the hill. And around her were powerful noble ladies and ladies.
As soon as Agatha appeared, they flocked to her side.
“Lady Agatha! How long has it been since this?”
“Congratulations on your marriage. I heard you received a romantic marriage proposal.”
“Your outfit today is very beautiful. Everyone was talking about how pretty this wedding dress would be.”
“Are you feeling okay now? I’ve been worried a lot, young lady.”
The corners of the emperor's mouth softened as he checked the first page.
“As expected, my goddaughter. As if she had come into my heart, she came back with a perfect husband and an alternative solution.”
“That’s too much praise. Since we're in the market, why not eat and look around? We also have plans for the next time.”
