I thought it was somehow quiet.
The Emperor also noticed that the Second Prince was more insane than usual and was trying to fix it.
“There is no one better than Your Majesty. I don’t know what to do with myself when Your Majesty takes such good care of me.”
“Oh, why are you saying that? It’s only natural for me to do something like that.”
Agatha laughed. Originally, the place should have been occupied by the Crown Prince, not the Emperor.
However.
'You dare to step on Enoch's safety.'
Neuta crossed the line. If they had called her in some other way, it might have been different, but this part was unacceptable.
“By the way, where did His Highness the Second Prince go? I heard that he was away for a while.”
“Well, I guess it seems like he's having a hard time because I kept him by my side. He said he was going to get some fresh air for a bit, so why don’t he come back after playing around for a while?”
Agatha finally smiled brightly. Thanks to her second marriage, which was not short, she knew Ferdinand's stress relief method better than anyone else.
“Your Majesty, may I go and see the trees over there? I’ve only been in the gazebo during the day, so I haven’t seen the autumn forest, and I’d like to see it.”
“Yes. Let’s go.”
You were the one who crossed the line, so you will receive the maximum price.
As she approached the place the knight pointed out, Agatha felt numerous footsteps and heard familiar shouts, and she laughed inwardly.
It was the voice of the second Prince, Ferdinand.
“You came all the way here to insult me! Is there a goddess in the Roxbad Empire who spies on other people’s affairs?”
The Emperor frowned, startled by the loud shouting.
“...What does this mean?”
The nobles who had been blocking the way were startled and stepped back politely.
"Your Majesty."
What was visible between them was the Second Prince, who was shouting in a disheveled manner in the bushes, and about fifteen noblemen, including the three Neuta women who were standing there helplessly.
At the right moment, the Emperor's attendant raised his voice.
“His Majesty, Womilai II, the great sun of the Roxbard Empire, serves!”
The already pale complexions of the three Neuta women and the group of nobles turned pale.
In particular, the expressions on the faces of the three women who discovered Agatha standing next to the Emperor were spectacular.
They quickly set an example.
“I see the sun of the empire.”
“His Majesty the Emperor.”
The Emperor, who didn't even receive a greeting, looked really upset.
“Rather than a greeting, I think this situation requires an explanation.”
“That is...”
Before Madam Neuta could even open her mouth properly.
“Your Majesty! This cannot be happening!”
Ferdinand shouted with a resentful and angry face. After checking with Womilai II and Agatha standing next to him, he could no longer see anything.
Because of this, he ends up being embarrassed in front of Agatha.
“Truly, Prince Ferdinand. What is this? And why are you naked again?”
Ferdinand cried out in a bloody voice at the Emperor's request.
“Your Majesty. Didn’t Your Majesty tell me that a man in his prime would naturally need women, and gave me beautiful maids?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
At the moment when the Emperor nodded with a puzzled look on his face, Ferdinand pointed his finger at the three women of Neuta and the nobles.
“No, someone said they saw Agatha here, so I came here to check, but I was disappointed that she wasn’t there, so the maid offered to console me. As expected, she was a maid sent by His Majesty, so I went into the bushes in joy-”
So far so good. The Emperor had Ferdinand's entourage made up of noble maids who wished to form a relationship with the Second Prince.
He thought that if things went well, one of them could produce a second Prince, which could further solidify the relationship with the Mainukor Empire.
“They came all of a sudden here and are observing my affairs!”
“What?”
“I’m sure they knew it and came in! They came right up to where I was, saying, ‘I found it, it’s here!’”
The Emperor's face, which had been perplexed, hardened. This was not a simple matter.
It was a question of imperial authority and the friendship between the empire, and it was an incident in which the imperial family was harassed in broad daylight.
Agatha gently opened her eyelids.
“Who are you?”
The three women of Neuta and the nobles trembled as they were exposed to the gaze of the angry Emperor.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”
“Who dared to plan such a shocking thing, that’s what I’m saying!”
As soon as the Emperor stomped his feet, the knights of the guard drew their swords and aimed them.
Srrrrung-
The nobles who faced the sharp blades trembled and pointed at the three Neuta women.
“Oh, that’s unfair, Your Majesty! We simply accompanied them because Lady Neuta, the Grand Lady, and the Young Lady had something to show us!”
“That’s right, Your Majesty! We had no idea that it was related to the Second Prince. If we had known, we would never have come. It’s true, Your Majesty!”
“Listen to us, Your Majesty!”
Crown Prince Anthony Roxiba, who joined the event late, clicked his tongue after grasping the general situation.
“How dare you treat the royal family like a spectacle. Your liver has come out of the boat.”
The Empress and Crown Princess, who had appeared without notice, were also frowning.
“They caused a commotion even at the dessert party I hosted. I guess those three people’s time together was too short.”
“Really? Are you saying that you caused a commotion at the party you hosted, Your Highness the Crown Princess?”
“Yes, Your Majesty the Empress.”
Old Lady Neuta, who had been blankly looking around, closed her eyes tightly.
In fact, even a wise old woman like her would have sensed defeat the moment Agatha appeared with the Emperor.
The question is how far the punishment will extend.
Agatha had no intention of limiting the battlefield to the social world. It was them who first widened the battlefield by provoking her husband.
That is why Agatha accompanied the Emperor.
The Emperor, who had been doing everything he could to keep the autumn social circle peaceful, such as keeping the second Prince by his side, was so angry that it seemed like it was reaching the sky.
“Where is Duke Theodore Neuta? The Minister of Foreign Affairs, who can’t even properly discipline his own family, dares to let something like this happen?”
The surprised Madam Neuta, the old lady, and the Young Lady raised their heads.
“Your Majesty! The Duke has nothing to do with this. We simply went in because we thought there was something here, but we never dreamed that His Highness the Second Prince of Mainukor would be there...!”
The Emperor's reaction was cold.
“The nobles who accompanied you followed you because they said you had something to show them, didn’t they? Are you dare to lie to me now?”
“That, that!”
“Even if you didn’t know he was the second Prince. Even so, if you heard a noise from the bushes, shouldn’t you have known and gotten out of the way? You’re not a young noble who hasn’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony, and you know everything, and you went in there without knowing what was going on, and you want me to believe that?”
Even the surrounding nobles' gazes were extremely cold. It was at a time when the three Neuta women were unable to refute the Emperor and were being scolded by him.
"Your Majesty."
The sixth ex-husband, Duke Theodore Neuta, who had returned after receiving an urgent call, knelt before the Emperor.
“It is all my fault. Please punish me and forgive those three, Your Majesty.”
"Duke...!"
“Why, why...!”
The duke bowed his head deeply, silencing his grandmother, mother, and sister with his gaze.
“I will gladly accept any punishment. Please punish me, the head of the Neuta family, Your Majesty.”
“You must know how serious the crime of insulting the royal family is.”
“I am prepared.”
The Emperor's voice was still cold. The position was being watched by Ferdinand, the Second Prince of the Mainukor Empire, who had barely managed to get his clothes on.
“Duke Theodore Neuta, listen up. As of this moment, you are to leave for the border region and personally inspect the situation in the border region and each country as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Until then, you will not be permitted to set foot in the capital.”
“I hereby command you to depart immediately.”
It was effectively an expulsion order from the capital.
He won't be able to return to the capital for at least three years.
Finally, tears began to flow from the three Neuta women.
Duke Neuta, who had risen from his seat, was left with a complicated expression on his face, leading his men.
The Emperor clicked his tongue briefly and stepped back.
“I will leave the punishment of those three to the Empress.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Punishing the head of a household did not erase the crimes committed by its members.
It was an inexcusable sin to spy on the royal family's nightlife and, worse, to make a spectacle of the royal family.
Empress Margaret Roxiba stepped forward and declared to Madame Neuta, the Grand Duchess, and the Young Lady.
“I heard from the Crown Princess that you caused a commotion at the dessert party as well. Even though the Crown Princess was generous and let it go, you lost your temper and did something like this, so you deserve to be punished for that too.”
“Ugh...!”
“Duke Theodore Neuta has left the capital, taking full responsibility for everything. You must remain in your mansion until he returns. Do not leave the capital city of Duke Neuta even once.”
The Emperor also noticed that the Second Prince was more insane than usual and was trying to fix it.
“There is no one better than Your Majesty. I don’t know what to do with myself when Your Majesty takes such good care of me.”
“Oh, why are you saying that? It’s only natural for me to do something like that.”
