“Any other information?”
“Nothing.”
“Surely... You don’t even know the name of the person you’re looking for?”
Raphael revealed his bewildered expression without hiding it.
“Yes.”
“Why are you looking for someone whose name you don’t even know?”
“...I don’t know that.”
Linel frowned as if he wouldn’t take any more questions.
“I think it would be easy to find her if I just knew her name?”
“That’s why I’m asking you, a capable secretary.”
“That seems to be separate from being capable.”
“Then it wouldn’t be separate if your life was at stake?”
Raphael looked at him with a flinch.
Linel seemed serious.
“How does Your Majesty know a woman with such a story? As far as I know, you’ve never known anyone like that around you?”
“How do you know all about my private life?”
“Nothing.”
“Surely... You don’t even know the name of the person you’re looking for?”
Raphael revealed his bewildered expression without hiding it.
“Yes.”
“Why are you looking for someone whose name you don’t even know?”
“...I don’t know that.”
Linel frowned as if he wouldn’t take any more questions.
“I think it would be easy to find her if I just knew her name?”
“That’s why I’m asking you, a capable secretary.”
“That seems to be separate from being capable.”
“Then it wouldn’t be separate if your life was at stake?”
Raphael looked at him with a flinch.
Linel seemed serious.
“How does Your Majesty know a woman with such a story? As far as I know, you’ve never known anyone like that around you?”
“How do you know all about my private life?”
After all, we’re always together?
Raphael pulled away and then put his lips back together.
He saw that special look in the Emperor’s eyes when he was being stubborn.
He didn’t know why he was suddenly being asked to find a woman whose name he didn’t even know, but Raphael replied that he would diligently look for her.
Then Linel explained the characteristics of the woman he was looking for in more detail.
He explained that she had a slender body and a gentle voice, and then started listing characteristics that were of no help in finding her.
“She has a habit of walking like a crab when she’s drunk.”
“?”
No, you don’t know her name, even though you know her drinking habits?
Raphael gave up asking questions.
However, Linel continued to spout off completely useless information.
“She speaks quite harshly, despite her appearance.”
He almost added, “She’s even harsher in bed.”
“So anyway, you don’t know her name, do you?”
“Uh.”
“...Hair color, or eye color?”
“Oh, blonde with pink eyes.”
“!”
Raphael opened his eyes wide and looked at Linel.
“Your Majesty, the appearance you’re looking for is....”
“Yes, she’s pretty.”
“Yes?”
“She’s even prettier when she smiles. When she says something rude, she seems to become a bit more sensual.”
What are you talking about?
Linel closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose as he thought of the woman he was looking for.
Raphael looked at him carefully with a questioning gaze.
He doesn’t know about anything else, but if she had blonde hair and pink eyes, she looked like Empress Zelda.
Of course, there were quite a few women in the palace with those two combinations, so it wasn’t that strange.
Surely not, right?
Still, Raphael asked cautiously out of concern.
“Your Majesty, by any chance... did you meet someone while I was away? Like the woman you just mentioned...”
Linel opened her eyes again and bristled at Raphael’s question.
“Are you saying that because you think I went somewhere weird with a strange woman at a tavern?”
“...That’s not what I meant.”
“Find her within this week.”
Linel calmed his voice again and ordered.
'Your Majesty, what's important right now is not finding a woman whose name I don't even know.'
Raphael mentally patted his clothes.
'The Empress is in the palace!'
Raphael left the office with a worried expression.
"How did you miss His Majesty?"
Stiane, who had been waiting outside, approached Raphael as he came out of the office and asked.
"Stiane, look at me for a moment."
Raphael took Stiane to a room a little away from the office.
"Did something happen at the palace?"
Stiane asked in a low voice as soon as the door he had followed Raphael into closed.
"Yes..."
"Somehow... His Majesty's complexion definitely changed after he left the palace."
"What? Why His Majesty?"
Raphael, who thought she was asking about his own work, asked back when Linel's story came up.
"What should I say? It seems like he's regained some energy that he didn't have before."
“Really? Is he in a good mood because he drank so much?”
“But he suddenly got angry and lost his temper, so I don’t think he's in a good mood... Anyway, he's strangely changed.”
Stiane said with a puzzled expression.
“That’s because you didn’t pour him a drink.”
Raphael gloated that he treasured Linel, even though he thought he was bullying him.
Then he returned to his serious expression.
“Before entering the tavern, I went in and out of the bathroom in the building next door because I had diarrhea, and do you know what I saw?”
“Well, judging by your pale face, did you see stars right in front of you?”
Raphael waved his hand in annoyance at Stiane’s unexpected answer.
“No. I saw Commander Macrom and Magic Tower Lord in the square...”
“Huh?!”
Startled, Stiane leaned back and banged the back of his head against the door.
He heard a bang and something breaking, but he couldn’t even scream and covered his mouth with both hands.
“I haven’t told His Majesty yet.”
Linel had no memories of Empress Zelda, but he did have memories of Magic Tower Lord and Macrom.
Their absence from the Continental Hunting Competition made him remember only that he had sent them on some errand to the Tebello Empire, not that he had sent them together to treat the Empress.
“Did you meet and talk with them?”
“No, I just checked where they were staying and came back. It was a crowded square, so if someone found out, it could be dangerous.”
“That’s true. Where were they staying? Have you not seen Her Majesty the Empress?”
“It was a shabby inn. I haven’t checked Her Majesty the Empress directly, but I think she might be staying there with them.”
“Oh my, our Her Majesty the Empress is staying in a shabby inn...”
Stiane placed his hand on his racing heart and asked Raphael in a low voice.
“What are you going to do now?”
“Before telling Her Majesty, I think I should meet with Macrom separately first.”
The atmosphere in the Empress’s palace was depressed due to Roxana’s fever, and Linel’s cold main palace flowed.
Aside from the two palaces that were as quiet as a mouse, the western palace where the concubines lived was rather noisy.
It was because of the three prospective concubines from the Principality of Aclatto.
A month ago, Princess Roxana proposed a peace treaty after being surrounded by the allied forces of Tanya Island pirates and Aclatto, and demanded Zelda’s dethronement and remarriage to Emperor Linel.
The ministers of the Lapion Empire agreed to the dethronement of Zelda, who was revealed to be the acting Empress.
They also agreed to the remarriage of Princess Roxana and Emperor Linel for the sake of peace in the empire, but they insisted on maintaining the status of the existing concubines.
However, the ministers were worried that Princess Roxana would be favored, so they insisted on bringing in a few more concubines, and Roxana readily agreed to bring in three noble daughters as prospective concubines.
However, the ministers were outraged because these prospective concubines were from the Principality of Aclatto.
Nevertheless, Roxana, who held the safety of the empire in her hands, did not care and pushed ahead with the concubine ceremony. She planned to hold the concubine ceremony right after the remarriage, but Roxana had a fever, so their ceremony was also postponed.
In the meantime, the concubines were living in the West Palace and causing big and small troubles.
They were becoming more and more arrogant by the day, claiming that Roxana, who would soon become the Empress of the Lapion Empire, was from the same country as them.
Rosie and Melanie went for a walk together to the greenhouse and happened to run into three concubines who happened to be there.
“Is stealing other people’s things a characteristic of people from island countries?”
Melanie said to herself, glaring at one of the concubines, Yulina.
Melanie thought it was strange that she always wore a dress similar to her own whenever she saw her.
As it turned out, Yulina had paid a designer from Roland’s costume shop, whom Melanie treated as her personal designer, to make her dress similar to her style.
It was probably intentional.
Yulina copied not only Melanie's dress style but also her hairstyle.
Once, while walking in the garden of the West Palace, Rosie saw Yulina's back and called her 'Mama Melanie!'
"You're calling my dress designer to the palace! Are you crazy?"
Melanie raised her voice intentionally, targeting Yulina, whose eyes were raised to the tip of her eyebrows.
"Do you really think that designer is your servant?"
Yulina countered as if Melanie wanted her to hear.
"I wonder why there are so many island flies flocking to the Lapion Imperial Palace, don't you think?"
Melanie pretended not to hear Yulina and waved her hand in the air as she spoke to Rosie.
"That's true. Those things that are not even a fistful are making a fuss."
In fact, Rosie killed a fly that flew in front of her with her hand and glared at her prospective concubines.
“Childish for nothing. I thought the women of the continent were more refined...”
“They seem more ignorant and shallow than I thought when they actually came here.”
Among the three prospective concubines, the twin sisters, Elle and Celine, took Yulina’s side and said.
“What, what? Ignorant? Shallow?!”
Melanie rolled her eyes when she heard the two words she hated the most at the same time.
The conversation that had been going on and on like an echo in the air, with each of them glancing at the other, eventually ended up having to face each other.
“Do you know how much Your Highness Rosie reads?”
“Hohoho, why are you talking about Your Highness Rosie reading a lot? It’s not even about yourself.”
Yulina snorted.
“My hair is Your Highness Rosie’s hair, and Your Highness Rosie’s hair is my hair, why!”
‘What? Even though we’re on the same side, your words are a bit harsh.’
Rosie was taken aback by Melanie’s terrible remark, but she wasn’t in a situation where she could show it.
“What do you mean? Does that mean you two are on the same level?”
Yulina asked, looking them up and down.
“Yes!”
“No!”
Melanie and Rosie’s words overlapped at the same time, making it sound like ‘Yes.’
The two met each other’s eyes.
Rosie answered Yulina, ‘Yes, we have a lot in common,’ as Melanie smiled innocently at her.
“...Well, anyway, let’s make sure the concubines get along well. The palace atmosphere is already bad because Her Majesty the Empress is ill.”
Elle, the older of the twin sisters, tried to settle the argument in a rather polite tone.
“Your Majesty, the Empress? She hasn’t even had her ceremony yet!”
Rosie glared at the prospective concubines as if she were looking at people who had been caught plotting treason.
“And who is already a concubine?”
Melanie also deliberately gasped and whispered as if she were going to be in trouble if someone heard her.
Then, the prospective concubines all turned to the greenhouse entrance with excited faces.
“Let’s just ignore them and go.”
“Yes, let’s go. By the way, I hope Her Majesty the Empress recovers quickly.”
“That’s right, so that we can tell her in detail how the palace has been going.”
They deliberately brought up Roxana’s story to scare Rosie and Melanie and laughed.
“Is that what you’re telling us to hear?”
Melanie glared at the backs of the prospective concubines and grinned.
“Yes, I think it’s a threat.”
Raphael pulled away and then put his lips back together.
He saw that special look in the Emperor’s eyes when he was being stubborn.
He didn’t know why he was suddenly being asked to find a woman whose name he didn’t even know, but Raphael replied that he would diligently look for her.

Rosie clenched her fists, unable to hide her anger.
“Is Her Majesty the Empress still in the Tebello Empire? Is she safe?”
From some point on, whenever Melanie brought up Zelda, she always started saying ‘we.’
Since she had heard about the Empress’s circumstances from Rosie, Melanie had a rough idea of the situation.
“She said she would definitely come back, so she will. I believe her!”
Rosie’s eyes became moist.
“But I don’t think she will be able to come to the palace. Princess Roxana is firmly established in the Empress’s palace. Would she like to come? It would be dangerous, let alone upset her.”
“That’s true... She will find a way to see Sharon and me.”
Rosie replied in a confident, cold tone.
“Oh my? Why are you leaving me out?”
Melanie jumped up in frustration.
Why is it a full moon today?
I arrived in front of the hole and looked up at the night sky.
The full moon that had risen today was unusually big and bright.
It was a day when I had to move secretly... That full moon was like a light shining on me.
I wore the dress of the servant that Commander Macrom and Empress Elan had brought me, and arrived at the entrance to the Lapion Imperial Palace without difficulty.
Before entering the palace, I dug a hole next to the entrance and put the extra dress I brought in with me, just in case, in the black robe I was wearing.
After checking the daggers on my thighs and ankles one last time, I bent down and put my head into the entrance, pushing through the grass that was blocking it, and crawled in.
As for this entrance, it is a passageway with history and tradition that has shared the birth of the Lapion Imperial Palace and the sad and happy love stories of the servants... That’s what Sharon had told me before.
Was it on the way back from Rosie’s residence? When I said I wanted to walk along the open back garden path while returning from the West Palace to the Empress’s Palace, Sharon guided me and showed me the secret place in the palace where I could easily enter and exit the Imperial Palace.
I suddenly asked Sharon, who seemed to have a special affection for dog holes.
'Have you ever gone out to meet a man here?'
'I... only went out because I missed my parents so much.'
'Oh, at dawn?'
'Yes...'
I burst out laughing at Sharon's cute lie.
'Sharon, no matter what, a lady shouldn't crawl through a dog hole like that.'
It seemed like only yesterday that I had said that with such elegance...
"Oh, the hole is narrower than I thought. Only skinny girls can go in and out?"
The elegance that had trembled countless times had suddenly burned to death, and I, the Empress, would have to pass through the dog hole like this, becoming one with the floor.
What the! My butt was stuck in the middle of the dog hole and wouldn't get out.
I couldn't get back out, and I couldn't go forward while squirming on the ground...
Damn it! What a disaster!
What should I do?
At that moment, the man's shoe tip came into my sight.
And before I could even raise my head, I heard a voice.
“What are you doing here?”
Hmm? It was a familiar voice.
I raised my head with my butt stuck in the hole.
“...Huk!”
It was the man I met at the tavern last night, the man I took to the inn, the man who... had an accident while sober. No matter how many times I closed my eyes and looked back, it was that face.
It was him.
But why is this man in the palace?
Oh, I see!
I told you he was out of the ordinary...!
I looked up at the man and asked elegantly,
“Do you work here?”
“Is Her Majesty the Empress still in the Tebello Empire? Is she safe?”
From some point on, whenever Melanie brought up Zelda, she always started saying ‘we.’
Since she had heard about the Empress’s circumstances from Rosie, Melanie had a rough idea of the situation.
