I Will Become the Queen of the Enemy Country

Elise thought and said that the Tetrisians were no different from the Bedrokkans, but Karan thought differently.

The Bedrokkans are right.

Tetrisians are barbaric and violent.

They put their fists before words, and if they want something, they take it by force.

If there is someone coveting their things, they retaliate thoroughly.

This was considered natural in Tetris.

It was a habit and tradition that Elise, a Bedrokkan and a noble, could never understand.

And especially for Karan, there was an unspeakable secret.

So Karan had to suppress his instincts in front of her.

He didn’t want to reveal his true nature and disappoint her.

‘Elise, Elise, Elise.’

Karan repeated her name countless times.

She was a sedative to Karan, and her name was a magic spell that calmed him down.

Sometimes it worked the other way around.

Karan, who had barely regained his composure, sat in front of Elise.

Elise, who was beautiful even when she let her hair down, was also beautiful when she twisted her hair up.

“Thank you, Karan. I’ll ask for your help often.”

“Again?”

Elise nodded with a smile. Karan’s heart throbbed.

Her bright smile was dazzling, and he was excited that there was more to come.

“I’ll do better next time.”

“There’s no doing better than this.”

Elise gave Karan a compliment he couldn’t accept.

But as if her words weren’t false, Karan lifted his teacup instead of asking her.

Elise smiled faintly and held her teacup.

Elise recalled the sigh that burst when Karan was away.

She could guess what kind of fantasies women had when they saw Karan.

‘The plan is a great success.’

Elise knew herself well.

In fact, Elise had no value as a model.

‘If it were Iris, I don’t know.’

Nevertheless, the reason she could step out as a model was ironically because of the scandal with Karan.

‘I’ve become a celebrity. Everyone is paying attention to me.’

Elise was confident that the accessory shops and general stores would be bustling with women looking for hair clips tomorrow.

She also had confidence that Jasmine’s hair clips, which were embroiled in controversy, were pretty enough not to be a problem when worn by Elise.

When she had drunk tea and the dessert plate was about half empty, Elise called Karan.

“I have something to say. I’m thinking of following Your Highnes back to Tetris this time.”

“That’s not possible.”

As Elise expected, Karan immediately opposed.

“It’s dangerous, Elise. The way there is dangerous, let alone the area where the first gate is especially dangerous. I will go and sort things out, meet His Majesty, get permission for our marriage, and then come to pick you up.”

Elise shook her head.

“I will go and get permission for the marriage myself.”

“Elise. Tetris is rougher and more desolate than you imagine. So people’s hearts do not open easily. I will persuade His Majesty personally.”

“Your Highness.”

Elise grabbed Karan’s hand on the table. Karan’s words, which had been flowing continuously, were abruptly cut off.

“I have decided to follow you. Just as I decided to marry you. Do you know what that means? It means I will definitely do it. So let’s not have a war of attrition. Let me follow you. I want that.”

Karan had a displeased face.

Elise held Karan’s hand tightly as if to ask him to trust her.

“I’m not a weak person. I’ll prove it. Give me a chance.”

Elise was desperate.

Whether she came to find herself or said she would follow now, she acted as if it was the last chance of her life.

“Will you trust me?”

Deep wrinkles formed on Karan’s forehead.

****

That day, after parting with Karan, Elise wandered around the square a little more and came back.

Several days passed.

The situation flowed as Elise expected.

The fact that Karan had fixed Elise’s hair spread widely.

Everyone was in a frenzy to get a hair clip.

But it was not easy to get. Then people became more impatient.

One by one, the number of people who sent letters directly to Elise increased.

Excessive attention was paid to the young lady who was involved in the scandal.

Elise replied to each one.

Half of the day had to be spent writing replies.

Elise wrote that the hair clip was a gift from Jasmine.

Afterwards, contact would be directed to Orleans, not Worton.

“Phew, finally it’s over.”

Elise put down her pen and stretched out. The tray with the replies was stacked high.

If these people bought just one hair clip each, Jasmine would be insanely busy for a while.

“I need to finish the conversation with Jasmine before it gets busier.”

Elise took out a new sheet of paper, massaging her fingers that were sore from writing so much.

Last time, because Fraser was not there, it was possible to go out, but now it was difficult to go out because he was at home.

What did she hear, that she was also staying at home?

Occasionally, only Iris went out, but today even she stayed at home, making it difficult to move around within the mansion.

In the end, Elise decided to invite Jasmine to the mansion.

She wrote a very polite invitation and called Regina.

“Regina, please go to Baron Orleans’ house. And please mail these letters too.”

Regina put the letter for Jasmine in her pocket and received the letter basket with both hands.

“I’ll be back.”

After Regina finished her greeting and left, Elise took a moment of leisure.

[I believe. More than myself.]

While watching the flowing clouds, her ears suddenly became hot at the voice that came to mind.

In response to her request to trust her, he already said he believed.

Chase showed a faith he had never shown in his lifetime.

But Karan said he couldn’t take Elise to the end.

He made a fuss as if Elise getting hurt, her suffering, and Ragnaros waking up were bigger problems.

‘Even though I didn’t say it.’

That’s how Elise felt.

‘He’ll faint if he finds out I participated in the gate subjugation.’

Elise chuckled. In the past, Elise joined the 2nd gate subjugation of Bedrokka for Chase’s achievements.

The amount of mana was significantly small, and Elise, who knew how to draw magic circles, could do very little, but Chase wanted it.

[Elise, I don’t want you to hear that it’s comfortable because you’re my fiancée.]

Chase said he was afraid of Elise being insulted, but what he really feared was that Elise would not gain fame.

Chase wanted Elise to raise her value as his trophy.

Of course, Elise overcame the brink of death several times in that subjugation.

At that time, Chase left her in the rear, saying that she might look like she was receiving special treatment.

There was almost no combat force in the rear, so it was difficult to deal safely in case monsters left by the knights were there or unexpected situations occurred.

So Elise’s situation was more miserable.

But Elise survived and did what she could.

It was a thorough investigation of the gate.

She classified and analyzed the types of monsters.

Afterwards, she made various items using the by-products of the monsters, but Chase opposed commercialization because the image was bad.

‘There were really good things.’

It was a pity that the hair growth agent made from the extract extracted from the furry monster and the pudding based on slime could not be commercialized.

Only one product was commercialized and brought a huge profit to Chase.

‘It will be difficult this time. The 2nd gate will not be my jurisdiction.’

She felt a strong regret, but she shrugged it off.

Anyway, if she goes to the gate following Karan this time, she was planning to challenge the business by collecting samples.

‘You need money to secure a place in Tetris.’

It’s been a long time since money was converted into power.

It would be severe in barren Tetris.

‘The reason Karan couldn’t establish a foothold in Tetris is because of money.’

His excellent combat power was a great advantage, but also a disadvantage.

Every time something happened, His Majesty Tyllo sent him out.

Of course, he didn’t know about the circumstances and finances of the kingdom.

‘He doesn’t have a decent relative, and he didn’t even get married. He wouldn’t have been unpopular.’

Even at the cafe last time, she could predict Karan’s popularity in Tetris.

Karan was not a handsome man as defined by Bedrokka, but he had a charm that captivated people’s eyes.

Perhaps the raw charm stimulated women’s hearts.

Elise, who was thinking of Karan that day, rang the bell because her throat was dry for no reason.

But instead of the maid, Iris came in.

“You, you’ve been doing some very vulgar things on the street?”

At the sudden quarrel coming her way, Elise sighed.

“Why are you so interested in me? Mind your own business, sister. You must be busy preparing for your engagement.”

She didn’t mean to annoy Iris.

She just told it as it was, but Iris, who had a lot of complaints about her marriage to Chase, took it as a quarrel.

Iris, her face flushed, quickly crossed the room.

“It’s all because of you.”

The same story again.

“How long are you going to blame me? Whether it’s my fault or someone else’s, if you don’t like the situation, you can change it. You can’t even do that?”

“How can I change a marriage that’s already decided?”

Why can’t she change it?

Just a verbal promise.

‘You did it in your previous life. You stole my place for the national marriage.’

Elise swallowed the words she couldn’t say.

“There are many ways you can not do it if you don’t want to. If you’re prepared to break down, sister. But you don’t want that. You want to have all the praise, honor, and power of others.”

“Isn’t that natural? Because I have the right to have everything. Unlike you.”

“That’s right. So, sister, your marriage to His Highness Chase is not my fault, it’s your choice. Don’t quarrel with me about that anymore.”

“What are you going to do if I quarrel?”

When Elise retorted back and forth, Iris, who was angry, pushed Elise’s shoulder hard.

Elise, who was sitting and suddenly attacked, jumped up.

When she opened her eyes, an overwhelming pressure that was hard for Iris to handle burst out.

Now Elise looked 20 years old, but inside her was 29-year-old Elise.

Iris, who had lived as a flower in a greenhouse at the age of 22, could not handle Elise, who had the experience of putting Chase on the throne, setting up the final plan for the Ragnaros subjugation, and approaching the queen’s position.

“You thought I’d be surprised if you opened your eyes like that?”

Iris snapped back to avoid showing her scared look.

Elise grabbed Iris’s shoulder.

When strength went into the hand holding her shoulder, wrinkles formed on Iris’s beautiful forehead.

“Are you curious about what I can do? Then keep acting like this. You said it was vulgar? I’ll show you what real vulgarity is. Oh, speaking of which, I’m curious too. I wonder what I can really do to you, sister.”
