Back in the bedroom, I started looking for a place to put the jewelry box.
“Hmm, I guess I should put it there for now.”
After looking around for a while, the bottom drawer of the dressing table caught my eye. It was a place that the servants rarely touched. I went to the dressing table, knelt down, and pulled out the bottom drawer. There was a small, sunken space behind the drawer, so I put the jewelry box in there, put the drawer back in the space, and closed it. The space behind the bottom drawer of the dressing table was also where I kept the bottles of magic potions I had received from the 'Dignified Night' clinic. I got up again and paced around the bedroom for a while, internally cursing Prince Tesla.
Sollie said as she put the dress I was wearing on a hanger.
"Yes."
I gave a short laugh. Just the thought of going to the training ground made me feel like my breathing was clearer.
“I’ll take you to the laundry room. There might be other servants there.”
Teresa said, turning the key in the keyhole.
“Yes, please.”
When I opened the door, a narrow spiral staircase spread out below.
“Let’s go, Your Majesty the Empress. Be careful, the stairs are steep!”
Teresa clenched her fists and spoke to me as if she was seeing off a knight who had just finished a military ceremony.
“It won’t take long. And when I get back it’ll be dark, so I’ll be less visible than I am now.”
I said, looking up at the setting sun.
“Yes! I’ll wait. But, is it okay if I don’t go with you?”
"Yes?"
“Like a knight escort!”
“Who? You are my escort?”
I burst out laughing and checked my riding gear.
“Well, what’s with my topic? I’d be startled just by seeing a squirrel in the forest, hehe. Be careful!”
“See you later.”
I waved to Terasa and ran straight towards the cypress forest. It was a freedom I hadn’t felt in a long time. It felt like the shackles on my legs had been broken. I ran along the forest path without stopping as if my lungs were going to burst. I was out of breath, but my chest, which had been stuffy, felt as if it had been cleared away. The forest was incredibly refreshing. The scent of the cypress trees penetrated deep into my lungs.
“There it is.”
Just before another side road appeared, a smokescreen building was visible in the distance.
“That, that’s not the case..."
“No, are you coming? Or just stay still.”
Linel continued speaking, shaking Duke Callios' shoulder with a cold gaze.
“I will decide who to embrace in my arms, whether to divide my favors equally or give them all to everyone.”
“However, the concubines are also His Majesty’s women, so if you don’t come looking for them...”
"My women... Yes, they are my women since they had a ceremony with me. So, Duke Callios, stop caring about other people’s women?”
“Your Majesty! If you only favor Her Majesty the Empress, there may be conflict in the future... Ugh!”
Srrrrung.
“Yes. The Empress receiving my love is not a favor, but a natural thing. It is not the kind of feeling that can be shared with concubines.”
Duke Callios looked up into the Emperor's cold face. The Emperor seemed ready to cut off his own neck.
“Do you understand, Duke Callios?”
“Oh, please forgive me. I was short-sighted.”
A cold sweat formed on Duke Callios' forehead.
“Please calm down, Your Majesty. This is the Speaker of the Assembly...”
Secretary Raphael whispered, grabbing Linel's arm, who was holding the sword. The other ministers also murmured here and there with nervous expressions. When Linel's gaze turned to the ministers, they all shut their mouths and lowered their heads. He put the sword he had held against Duke Callios' neck back into Raphael's scabbard, left the conference hall, and headed to his office.
“Your Majesty, you went a bit too far earlier. There were so many eyes watching you, there was no need to do that...”
“The meeting will end in one hour.”
Linel ignored Raphael's nagging and spoke calmly.
“But we decided to continue the meeting until midnight today...”
“Let’s reconvene the meeting again tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, I will convey that.”
Raphael could no longer spit on Linel's words.
Stian exchanged a look of confusion with Raphael next to him.
“Anyway, we’re going to finish today’s meeting within an hour, so let’s go to the Empress’s Palace as soon as the meeting is over.”
“But if Your Majesty leaves, Her Majesty the Empress won’t be able to rest in peace, right?”
Raphael advised cautiously,
“I need to see for myself what is wrong and what isn’t.”
He was stubborn.
“Your Majesty, the meeting tomorrow will be long as well, so I think it would be best for Your Majesty to just rest at the palace today..."
Stian also tried to stop him,
“Seeing the Empress is a rest.”
It was no use.
“...”
At this, Raphael and Stian gave up on persuading him.
“Wait, are you feeling very unwell? I should just end the meeting right now and go to the Empress’s Palace.”
“Your Majesty, please hold on tight!”
“You will also give Her Majesty the Empress some rest!”
Two people shouted at the same time.
“Yes. Then in 30 minutes.”
Linel showed the two men his pocket watch and spoke firmly, with an expression that said he could not delay any longer.
'Oh my God!'
Sharon, who had been eavesdropping from outside the office, gasped and quickly shut her lips.
'His Majesty will be arriving at the Empress' Palace in 30 minutes?'
Zelda was still on the training grounds.
'Something's wrong! We have to go and tell them quickly!'
Sharon lifted up the hem of her dress and started running hurriedly to the Empress's Palace.

I got up again and paced around the bedroom for a while, internally cursing Prince Tesla.
I wanted to throw away the pink diamond ring he had given me, but I couldn't touch it because it was on Bonis's little finger. What on earth had Bonis had to do with this that he had hurt her?
“Bucky guy...”
I will definitely repay you in some way. I told myself over and over again. As anger took over me, I felt feverish in an instant. It felt like my body was boiling in a hot pot.
“I can’t breathe. I feel suffocated...”
I pounded my chest with my fist, but it was no use. If I didn't swing my sword, my body would explode.

Knock knock.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Sharon came in.
"What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?"
“A message has arrived from the palace.”
“What message?”
I felt nervous for a moment. Was Linel asking me to have dinner with her?
“What message?”
I felt nervous for a moment. Was Linel asking me to have dinner with her?
For a moment, the image of Prince Tesla's sword striking Bonis's little finger flashed through my mind. I tried not to think about it, but that horrible scene had been coming to mind whenever I had the chance. Bonis's clear and beautiful voice turned into a scream and hit my ears. I quickly covered my ears with both hands.
“Are you all right, Your Majesty? Is something wrong?”
Sharon came closer in surprise.
“It’s okay. Keep talking.”
“Yes... I hear that the meeting His Majesty is attending is expected to last late into the night.”
“Oh, that’s a relief.”
As I muttered to myself in relief without realizing it, Sharon asked with a more worried expression.
“Are you all right, Your Majesty? Is something wrong?”
Sharon came closer in surprise.
“It’s okay. Keep talking.”
“Yes... I hear that the meeting His Majesty is attending is expected to last late into the night.”
“Oh, that’s a relief.”
As I muttered to myself in relief without realizing it, Sharon asked with a more worried expression.
“Your Majesty, what has happened...”
“No, nothing. So, is that why His Majesty can’t come to the Empress’s Palace today?”
"You're right."
“Yes, then go out. I need to get some rest.”
“I...Your Majesty the Empress.”
“Why? Oh, is there anything else you want to say?”
I walked over to the bed and looked back at Sharon. She nodded and quickly replied in a bright voice.
“Yes! His Majesty has spoken. The meeting is likely to be delayed, so please come to the main palace bedroom!”
"Ah..."
What should I do? My head hurts.
“It seems that His Majesty wants to visit the main palace bedroom in the middle of the meeting to see Your Majesty the Empress’s face!”
I couldn't respond to Sharon's excited voice. I would have liked it before Grand Duke Martins came. But things were different now. Things were becoming more and more cautious. The more I got Linel's attention, the more it would be dangerous for Bonis's safety, and even my own.
“Sharon, you should go to the main palace yourself.”
I gathered my courage and turned to her again.
“Yes, just say it!”
“I’m not feeling well... I think I should go to the Empress’s Palace and rest early today... Tell them and come back.”
When I thought about his sad expression upon hearing this story, my heart felt dry.
“Your Majesty the Empress, shall I call the palace doctor?”
“No, you don’t have to. Just rest and I’ll feel better.”
I waved and smiled, but Sharon's worried expression did not lift.
“I have a bit of a headache. I felt a bit dizzy after talking to the concubines earlier.”
Since I couldn't think of a good excuse, I had no choice but to make up the concubines' excuse. Only then did she nod and give me a look of approval.
“Then I will go to the main palace and tell them. Is there anything else you need?”
Sharon asked me how I was feeling before leaving the bedroom.
“None. Oh, right, Sharon?”
I turned around and called her over and we went out onto the terrace together.
“Do you know where the training ground is?”
“The training ground... right?”
Sharon asked me back, seemingly puzzled.
“Yeah, I was just curious. You said it was close to the Empress’ Palace before, right? That’s why.”
“Ah, yes... It’s not far from here, just like I said. It’s around there.”
Sharon held onto the terrace railing with one hand and pointed to the smoke grotto with the other.
"Where?"
“If you go around the lake behind the Empress’s Palace, you will come across a forest of cypress trees. Can you see it?”
"Yes."
“If you follow that forest path for about 10 minutes, you will come across a training ground.”
I chewed over Sharon’s explanation in my head several times. Fortunately, the path to the training ground was not complicated. The problem was whether I could get to the training ground without being noticed by the palace maids. Fortunately, it was in a cypress forest, so it seemed possible as long as I avoided the palace maids’ eyes until I entered the forest path.
“I see. Thanks, Sharon.”
“No problem, then I will go to the main palace.”
"Yes."
I watched Sharon walk toward the bedroom door for a moment, then turned around to look at the cypress forest. Even if I could get to the training ground without being noticed, there was still a problem. I couldn't wear a dress, so what should I wear? I needed clothes that were comfortable for moving around on the training ground.
“I, Your Majesty the Empress...”
Startled by Sharon's voice, I turned away from the railing and looked at her.
“Yes? You haven’t gone yet?”
“As soon as you enter the dressing room, Your Majesty the Empress’s riding costume is in the first dress rack on the left.”
"...What?"
Sharon suddenly brought up riding clothes.
“And if you walk straight along that wall, you’ll come to a small door. That door leads down to the stairs to the laundry room on the first floor, but it’s usually locked.”
“...Sharon.”
“No, nothing. So, is that why His Majesty can’t come to the Empress’s Palace today?”
"You're right."
“Yes, then go out. I need to get some rest.”
“I...Your Majesty the Empress.”

Sharon suddenly brought up riding clothes.
“And if you walk straight along that wall, you’ll come to a small door. That door leads down to the stairs to the laundry room on the first floor, but it’s usually locked.”
“...Sharon.”
“The key is kept in the fourth drawer, in the middle of the dresser next to the door. I will tell Sollie and Teresa to find it, as Your Majesty the Empress may have a hard time finding it.”
Maybe it was because I brought up the training ground so suddenly. She seemed to have noticed that I was trying to go there secretly.
“If you go down to the laundry room on the first floor, you will find a back door that leads directly to the backyard of the Empress’s Palace.”
“Sharon, when did you realize I was going to the training ground?”
Let me be honest with you,
“In the greenhouse, Her Highness Catherine’s side of the head...! Ahem, from that moment on.”
Sharon waved one hand in the air as she spoke, then lowered her hand with an expression of regret and muffled her voice.
"What?"
“I expected that from then on, you would ask me about the training ground at least once.”
“Ah... I see.”
“Your Majesty, may I offer you some tea that is good for headaches after I return from the palace?”
“Yes. And thank you so much, Sharon.”
When I spoke to Sharon, holding her hand, she smiled bashfully.
“See you later...”
“Yes, then I will take my time.”
A few minutes after she left, the bedroom door opened again.
“Your Majesty the Empress.”
“I will take you to the dressing room.”
It seemed that Sollie and Teresa had already heard the story from Sharon outside. I nodded and followed them into the dressing room connected to the bedroom. As Sharon had said, the riding clothes were hanging in the first drawer on the left as soon as I entered the dressing room. Sollie helped me change into my riding clothes, while Teresa opened the drawer and found the key.

When I opened the door, a narrow spiral staircase spread out below.
“Let’s go, Your Majesty the Empress. Be careful, the stairs are steep!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t roll over like Melanie.”
Teresa's playful laughter echoed through the spiral staircase as she descended before me. Fortunately, there were no other servants in the laundry room. Teresa said that since it was the Empress's exclusive laundry room, there were hardly any other servants coming in and out except for the dedicated servants unless there was something special. When I opened the back door of the laundry room, there was a support set up in front of it to dry laundry in the sunlight.
“Farewell, Your Majesty.”

***
Main Palace Conference Hall. The meeting on whether to support or oppose holding a continental hunting competition continued endlessly. If the hunting competition was held this time, the starting country would be the Lapion Empire of the Northern Continent, so the decision had to be made more carefully.
Linel, who was looking over the opinions of each country, glanced at the ministers who were groaning here and there in the conference hall, then closed the opinion paper.
“Let’s take a 10-minute break and then continue the meeting.”
As Linel stood up from his chair, the ministers followed him. They all moved their bodies, which had been stiff from the long meeting, to loosen up.
“I...Your Majesty.”
Duke Callios, father of Catherine, the first concubine, and the man with the largest private army among the ministers approached him as he was leaving the conference room.
“What is it, Duke Callios?”
“I heard that after the ceremony, there has been no sign of the concubines’ quarters.”
"So."
“Wouldn’t peace be maintained in the imperial family if you equally distributed your favor from your generous bosom?”
“Has the Duke of Callios ever been held in my arms?”
"... Yes?"
“How do you know whether my bosom is wide or narrow? Is it also your experience that peace will come if you equally distribute favors?"
“Let’s take a 10-minute break and then continue the meeting.”

“Your Majesty! If you only favor Her Majesty the Empress, there may be conflict in the future... Ugh!”
Srrrrung.
Linel pulled out his sword from the scabbard of his secretary, Raphael, who was standing next to him. He thrust the sharp blade at the neck of Duke Callios.
“The Empress is my wife. The word ‘favorite’ doesn’t suit the Empress. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Your Majesty...”
“The Empress is my wife. The word ‘favorite’ doesn’t suit the Empress. Isn’t that right?”

The chamberlain, Stian, entered the office.
“What's going on?”
"Your Majesty."
The chamberlain, Stian, entered the office.
“What's going on?”
Stian relayed to him the message from the Empress's palace.
“This is a message that Her Majesty the Empress is not feeling well and will have to go to bed early in the palace today.”
“Hmm, really?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Then I’ll go, okay?”
Linel said succinctly.
"...Yes?"
