Dorothea tilted her head at him, then nodded.
“I understand the situation. The remaining problem is how to deal with them.…”
Dorothea looked at Luheit.
The Mulkybell people tried to kill the prince of Mulkybell.
This was not a matter for the Millanaire royal family to intervene in. Imperial intervention in their punishment would only complicate matters and could also create diplomatic problems.
Of course, they should be punished for trying to frame the Imperials.
“What do you think, Prince?”
His will is the most important thing. Dorothea intended to handle the case as Luheit wished.
Then, Luheit thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Then, can I finish the rest myself…?”
“Of course.”
It doesn’t matter whether he kills the culprit or detains her and brings her back to Mulkybell.
It is Luheit’s choice whether to persistently dig up and reveal the truth about Kishir behind that or to cover it up for a moment of peace.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Luheit bowed his head to her consideration.
* * *
That night. The two people who had a long day washed their bodies and relaxed in the warm water.
“Ethan, so you’re saying that Luheit talked to me about marriage…?”
“Your Majesty, you don’t need to know about that. Just ignore it.”
When Dorothea began to talk about the topic that had come up during the day, Ethan shook his head. He quickly cut her off, fearing that Dorothea might be concerned about Luheit’s feelings.
Then Dorothea chuckled.
“Ethan, it’s not that I didn’t know his heart, I just pretended not to know.”
“……?”
“I thought you might hate it. If I showed that I noticed, I think we’d have to start talking seriously about marriage again.”
Dorothea’s arms gently wrapped around Ethan’s neck.
Then a pleasant scent spread to the tip of Ethan’s nose.
Her appearance, bathed in warm light, was even more seductive than usual.
Dorothea’s gaze, staring up at him as if she already knew everything, was mischievous.
‘Oh, this is driving me crazy.’
Her fox-like blue eyes were crazy pretty.
Ethan couldn’t hold back and kissed Dorothea on the lips. The corners of Dorothea’s mouth went up at the sweet kiss.
“Were you jealous?”
Dorothea asked again mischievously between her warm, soft lips.
“Yes. So much so that I wanted to make him disappear from the land of Ubera.”
“Were you worried that I had talked to Luheit about marriage?”
“No. I was not worried because Your Majesty would not accept Luheit’s feelings.”
Dorothea felt a warm glow in her heart at Ethan’s trust.
But that was only for a moment.
“But now that I see it, I should be worried.”
Ethan whispered softly and then lifted Dorothea into his arms.
Dorothea was surprised by Ethan’s change in attitude and grabbed his shoulder tightly.
“You knew it all, but you behave like you are insensitive. I’m so angry that I got fooled too.”
He carried Dorothea to the bed and laid her down.
Her thin negligee was disheveled.
“Ethan, wait….!”
Dorothea grabbed his arm to stop him, but Ethan’s lips were quicker to crash over hers. His hot breath made Dorothea’s heart beat faster.
“Haa…. Ethan.”
Dorothea’s voice trembles without her knowing it.
But Ethan paid no attention and grabbed her plump breasts.
“Ugh…!”
Dorothea instinctively grabbed Ethan’s arm. His newly opened collar revealed his muscles.
“Ethan, you must be tired.…!”
Dorothea’s concern made Ethan narrow his eyes.
“Didn’t I tell you? I don’t get tired when I’m with Your Majesty.”
‘I don’t feel tired when I’m by your side.’
‘Even though I fought the snakes of Mulkybell all night, I didn’t get tired. No, on the contrary, my blood boils.’
“But…”
“Today, there is nothing to do even though Your Majesty is tired.”
‘I feel like I need to vent some anger on you for deceiving me today.’
Ethan’s hot body completely covered her.
* * *
“I’ve been very grateful to you for all your help.”
A month later, Luheit, fully recovered, bowed his head before Dorothea and Ethan.
Today, the Mulkybell delegation leaves Ubera.
Ethan glanced at the members of the delegation.
There are several empty seats. Including Lahas, who was the deputy leader of the delegation.
There seems to be a storm brewing within the delegation, but Ethan decides not to ask.
For Ubera, intervening would only make things more complicated.
Dorothea received a heavy price for Mulkybell’s plot to slander the royal family.
Although Mulkybell suffered losses, they had no choice but to assume responsibility for compensation without saying anything.
However, Ethan was a little curious as to how Luhait would behave when he returned to Mulkybell.
Ethan is also curious how Luheit will deal with Kishir, the First Prince who tried to kill him, and how he’ll handle that.
Since this is the situation of a neighboring royal family, Ubera must also pay close attention.
‘Do we have no choice but to side with Prince Luheit?’
Ethan thought with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Even though Ethan doesn’t like Luheit flirting with Dorothea, it is to Ubera’s advantage to have Luheit on their side.
“I hope you get back to Mulkybell safely.”
Dorothea waves goodbye to the others as they begin their long journey.
Ethan bowed as if to say goodbye.
The imperial family assigned a cavalry escort to the border for Luheit, to prevent Luheit from being put in danger on the way.
They received a lot from Mulkybell, so they can at least do that as a courtesy.
At Dorothea’s greeting, Mulkybell’s envoys prepared to leave.
Just as they would walk away,
“Will there be a day when we meet again?”
Luheit asked Dorothea in a low voice, his eyes filled with deep emotion.
Dorothea gave him a small shrug.
“If we get the chance, let’s meet again.”
If Luheit can sort out Kishir in Mulkybell, then perhaps they will meet again.
Luheit’s cheeks turned red at Dorothea’s positive answer.
At that moment, Ethan frowned when he saw him.
“However, the palace is too small, so I don’t think we will be able to accommodate you in the inner palace next time.”
Dorothea added in a soft voice. At that, Luheit’s eyes wavered.
The inner palaces of the palace are all palaces used by the imperial family. So Dorothea drew a clear line that she would never marry him.
“But a visit from the Mulkybell royal family is always welcome.”
Dorothea bowed her head slightly again.
Luheit smiled faintly in front of Dorothea.
‘How can you refuse so politely?’
“Thank you for everything, Your Majesty.”
This time Luheit had no choice but to back down.
Luheit kissed the back of Dorothea’s hand.
After leaving his last greeting on the back of the hand, he led the delegation and left the palace.
Dorothea watched the retreating delegation.
It’s over. The eventful visit of the Mulkybell delegation.
As she was feeling relieved because she had finally achieved what she wanted, Ethan quietly took her hand.
His fingers rubbed the back of her hand that Luheit had just kissed.
“I am in deep internal conflict right now, Your Majesty.”
Ethan wiped the back of her hand so persistently that it felt hot.
‘I wanted Luheit to beat Kishir, but then I started to think that it wouldn’t be a problem if Luheit lost…’
Then Dorothea burst out laughing.
“This is a big deal. Because I never saw you have any conflicts with Prince Luheit no matter what he does.”
Dorothea held Ethan’s hand tightly as he rubbed the back of her hand.
Ethan looked at Dorothea like that and laughed softly.
‘Seriously, since when did she become like this?’
Ethan grabbed Dorothea’s hand and pulled her close.
Then Dorothea threw herself into his arms.
“The Duke of Bronte!”
While Dorothea was flustered, Clara, Stefan, and the servants who had been standing behind him turned their heads quickly.
“I think this way my conflict will disappear.”
Ethan kissed Dorothea on the forehead. Dorothea’s ears turned bright red.
‘Ah, the Emperor, who has two children, shouldn’t be so cute.’
Ethan looked at his wife, Dorothea, like a jewel.
Years passed, but Dorothea Millanaire was still lovely.
