Chapter 313

TL: Zimmings

Marriage?

Who?

It’s not me and him, right?

I was so speechless that I wondered if I heard it wrong.

“I beg your pardon?”

When asked, Andre swept his hair back. He seemed to think it was a fatal move.

However, for me whose surrounding was full of aesthetically pleasing people, he was a squid.

“Yes, the lady won. We lost.”

“What?”

“I know. I understand why you bet on our people and family.”

I laughed in vain.

So, to summarize his words, this was what he meant.

‘The demand for independence is a political strategy for Dubblede to gain power.

If it’s about a marriage with the first prince Andre, then Dubblede will be satisfied.

So Prince Andre, who pitied Leblaine Dubblede, will get married.’

I get a headache naturally.

As I held my forehead, Prince Andre continued.

“First, deal with the monsters that flock to the island. Get rid of the things Duke Marche has laid out in the sky and in my house.”

“…….”

“What are you doing? Hurry. Are you going to act like a child after becoming my woman? If you’re going to do that, I can’t marry you.”

He said it as if he was the one in power.

That’s when Isaac exploded.

“Crazy…!” He shouted and raised his hand to his sword, but Henry blocked him.

However, if the veins were still bulging in Henry’s temple, he was ready to aim fire magic at the madman’s head.

Johann and my father were not much different.

If he were aware, he would know that his life is in danger, but as the Empress Dowager’s grandson, Andre was unaware of his surroundings.

“It wouldn’t be wise to lose this chance. It’s too late to hit the ground when you regret it…”

“I have no regrets.”

“Are you shy about being found out?”

“You don’t seem to understand me, so I’ll answer clearly.”

I frowned and said.

“I have no intention of marrying you.”

“…… What?”

Andre pursed his lips in disbelief.

He looked very surprised.

He barely opened his mouth after bursting into laughter.

“There is nothing more fulfilling for a lady to marry me.”

“I don’t know where you misunderstood me, but there is no such thing as marriage with Your Highness.”

“I’ll say it again. Take it when I give you a chance.”

“Thank you for your concern, but I don’t want to marry you.”

“Lady is lying now.”

“No, I mean it. I swear on the family and myself. I don’t want to marry Your Highness.”

“What is the reason? Because I’m too much for the lady? Don’t worry about it.”

“If you ask me why, I will dare to answer.”

Andre’s expression crumpled up, but I answered with a nonchalant expression.

“First of all, I hate that curly hair.”

“Wh what?!”

“It’s a shame that His Majesty’s beauty is not inherited at all. The worst of all is your personality. A fool…… I don’t like your narrow mind, and your arrogance of thinking that the world is turning for you.”

“Hey, lady!”

“I don’t like that you’re not sincere either. I also hate you for never listening to the other person. Also, I don’t like your stern but light tone, and I don’t like the fact that you can’t live without reigning over others or your hot temper that causes your hands to move before using words. And…”

“Stop, stop!”

Andre shouted, so I smiled brightly.

“Your Majesty, your breath smells bad.”

“Leblaine Dubblede!”

“Then don’t worry. I swear I’ve never coveted Your Highness for even a second.”

“You, you……!”

“Well then,”

I waved my hand at the servants.

“The guest is finished, please see them off.”

Then I went up the stairs. Behind my back, I heard a familiar laugh. Even without looking back, I knew they were my older brothers.

“Ah, the smell of his breath.”

“A bad breath is a no go.”

“But everything including his bad breath is still unqualified, brother.”

Andre, who was humiliated, ran to Empress Yvonne’s palace.

As he kicked in the door, Yvonne, who was talking to his maternal grandfather, Duke Marche, and his younger brother, Eslon Marche, frowned.

“How could you show us such a disrespectful act?”

Coughing at his mother’s sharp voice, he bowed slightly toward his maternal grandfather.

After greeting each other, Duke Marche continued the conversation.

“It’s a problem when we side with the temple.”

“But father, what if the temple had something behind our back? There are already a lot of people who talk about Andre’s legitimacy, and if it turns out that our ancestor was Ivan’s servant who rebelled against the founding emperor…….”

“Now, the prince’s legitimacy is not a problem. We were too deeply involved with the temple. If it is revealed that we even financed their experiment, our downfall would be instant, empress.”

“Give me a way. What should I do?”

To the empress’s words, Etlon Marche answered.

“Isn’t there any other way than to put us in the temple subjugation?”

“In the end, the key is Lady Dubblede…”

“Isn’t your relationship with Lady Dubblede okay?”

“She’s a clever kid. She bows her head in front of me, but I don’t know what she’s thinking.”

“How about giving her a marriage? Marriage to the first prince is a proposal that is not bad for the other side.”

Then Prince Andre frowned.

“Don’t say anything!”

“My nephew, this is not only about you but also the whole family. Don’t think about it emotionally. ”

“Crazy girl. How dare she rejected me…!”

The expressions of Empress Yvonne and Duke Marche hardened.

The empress asked in a shrill voice.

“What do you mean?”

“How dare she to the first prince of the empire…”

“Andre, do you not understand me?”

“Why did she utter such nonsense as independence in front of His Majesty and nobles? I just saw that this was a bluff to take the empire under her control, so I said I’ll let she do as she please.”

“What……?”

“I said I would marry her. I even said that what she lacks can be learned gradually. But that crazy thing… Ah, mother, relax your expression. I’m fine. There’s no way I can be swayed by that kind of nonsense.’

“What the hell did you do!!”

Empress Yvonne exclaimed.

It was the first time that his mother screamed in front of him.

Confused, Andre pursed his lips.

“Mother…”

Empress Yvonne groaned and touched her forehead.

Andre said as if it was unfair.

“I’ve done Dubblede a favor. Given their reputation, wouldn’t it help them?”

“You crazy bastard!”

“Why… why are you like this?

However, the Duke of Marche and Eslon Marche only frowned and sighed.

Prince Andre screamed.

“What’s wrong with her! Even if she’s great, she’s just a citizen of the empore. She must be loyal to the imperial family-”

Slap!

His cheeks get hot as if they were on fire.

Andre looked at Empress Yvonne with an ashtonished look on his face, while holding his cheeks.

“Mother, why did you……”

“I don’t want to see you, so please disappear immediately.”

“… I was just trying to do my best!”

“You should’ve stayed still. Things would not have become so complicated if you stayed still.”

“What?”

“Don’t you understand? We can’t survive unless we took their side. I made a big mistake because I had a deep relationship with the temple that became a traitor. Far from aiming for the throne, we could be dead first.”

“…….”

As Empress Yvonne stumbled, Duke Marche helped her.

Eslon Marche sighed and shook his head.

“What should we do now? My nephew had ruined our work even before wr started.”

“Wehave no choice but to appease Leblaine Dubblede somehow.”

Empress Yvonne, Duke of Marche, and Eslon Marche looked at Andre at the same time.

The Duke of Marche said,

“I will meet the Duke Dubblede, so the prince should go find Lady Dubblede.”

“It’s absurd! Why, as the first prince, to a girl like that…”

“Prince-!”

The Duke of Marche shouted.

Andre turned pale and looked at his maternal grandfather.

Even among the nobles, a young chick like Andre was no match for the leader who always reigned at the top.

Duke Marche, who grabbed Andre by the collar, said.

“What is the reason why the prince, who is not able to compete with Adrian, has not been pushed behind in the succession line?”

“…….”

“It’s all thanks to Igor Marche. The prince enjoyed everything because you’re my daughter’s son, my only grandson. By the way, Andre.”

“…….”

“It’s getting harder and harder these days to tolerate you.”

“Gr- grandpa…”

“Whether you bow down to the Lady Dubblede, pray, or mourn with tears, take her heart back.”

“…….”

“Answer me, Andre.”

“Yes… yes.”

Andre lowered his head.

Eslon Marche said,

“I will meet the three Dubblede brothers. My sister should crack down on Dubblede vassals, and father, please meet the Duke of Dubblede.”

The other two nodded.

The pope looked at Mina, who was asleep.

Her hair, which only reached her chest before, became longer.

The priest who approached the pope said,

“She survived the 4th time today.”

“When is it complete?”

“Not too long ago.”

There was a blue bruise along Mina’s eyes. If they look closely, they can see some scales.

The priest looked at Mina’s trembling eyelashes and said,

“Today too, she has been looking for the pope.”

“I see.”

“She’s very anxious during the experiment. If the pope is with us as always, it will go smoothly.….”

Mina grabbed his sleeve before, but the pope ferociously pushed her hand away.

“Humans! You’re the only one who can save yourself!”

The face of the child shouting came to mind.

Taking a small portrait out, he smiled affectionately.

‘No, Goddess. God exists.’

Didn’t he let you and me meet?

The pope gently kissed Leblaine, who smiled brightly in the portrait, and muttered.

Ah, finally.

Finally he met her.

“My Meria.”
