The Tyrant Wants To Live Honestly

After meeting Carnan, Dorothea followed the aide to the palace where she had been staying several years ago.

The only small palace in this palace belonged to her, the Converta Palace.

Converta Palace, the most remote and old palace in the Imperial Palace, was a place of love and hatred for Dorothea.

It was the only place she was allowed to, but at the same time, it was like a prison.

Dorothea looked at the old building.

‘I felt suffocated even though I had returned home.’

“Dorothea!”

When Dorothea got to the front of the prison, a mysterious figure who did not match the atmosphere of the prison was waiting for her.

“Ray…”

As soon as Ray saw Dorothea, he ran to her at once and hugged her tightly.

“You are finally back!”

Dorothea snuggled into Ray’s arms.

“Let me go.”

Dorothea pushed Ray as hard as she could, and he smiled.

“Your arm is all better now!”

“It’s been a while.”

‘Do you think that time has stopped since that day?’

“You seem to have gotten a little taller?”

“You’re the big one.”

Dorothea replied bluntly. She thought she had grown up quite a bit, but Ray seemed to grow faster.

Ethan and Ray are all growing up. Later, into adulthood, Dorothea couldn’t beat them with her height.

It’s quite unpleasant to have to look up at your brother you hate for the rest of your life, so there were many times when Dorothea wanted to be taller than Rey.

‘Now… fortunately, I don’t feel anything.’

“And this!”

Dorothy looked at Ray and thought as Ray held out the bouquet that he had prepared.

“It’s a welcome gift.”

Dorothea held a bouquet of flowers in her arms.

A bright bouquet of yellow and white roses went well with the ray. Dorothea thought it would be better for Ray to hold the bouquet than she, who received it.

“You don’t need to prepare anything like this.”

“Do you hate roses?”

“It means you don’t have to pick flowers for me.”

“Okay… You hate picking flowers! cool! Then I’ll have to think about something else next time.”

Ray shrugged and asked what gift she would like to receive next.

“What do you want?”

“Nothing.”

Dorothea ignored him and walked past him into the palace.

Despite Dorothea’s indifferent reaction, Ray followed Dorothea like a dog who met his owner.

It seemed that there was still a story he wanted to talk about.

“I have heard. Your Majesty will make you take the Episteme transfer exam.”

“….”

“It would be great if Dorothy also joined Episteme! We go together, and we come back to the palace together. Let me introduce you to my friends… If it’s Dorothea, I’m sure you will get in. No one in Episteme is as smart as you.”

“Ray.”

“Yes?”

“Are you not busy?”

Dorothea stopped walking and turned to look at him.

‘The Crown Prince, who attends Episteme, has time to meet up with his younger sister in such a leisurely way.’

As Dorothea looked up, Ray blinked and shook his head, and smiled again.

“It’s okay. I am not busy!”

“You should be busy.”

“My younger sister is back after a long time, what could be more important than this?”

Ray smiled, revealing his white teeth.

“There are a lot.”

“As far as I know, none.”

If you know one more thing now, it would be helpful to become an emperor. Compared to that, meeting Dorothea is useless.

‘What’s the use of coming out to meet a neglected younger sister?’

Dorothea looked at him and sighed. She knew that nagging Ray would only make her tired and bored.

“Don’t regret it later.”

Ray nodded proudly at Dorothea’s warning.

“I’ll never regret it, ever.”

Stefan watched the two of them from a distance. He thought that Dorothea and Ray seemed to get along very well, considering that she had been ignoring Ray’s letters all along.

Because Dorothea’s expression, which had hardened after meeting the emperor, seemed softer.

Clara was constantly busy with a sudden call from the imperial family.

“How could you summon me so suddenly!”

Dorothea and Stefan had already gone up to the Lampas, and Clara had to follow them up.

But there was too much to deal with and organize.

“Did you get everything? Princess’s book? Is there anything missing?”

Joy and Po were lying in a pile while everyone was moving.

“No, sister. What will we do then?”

“I don’t know.”

Everyone was busy, so no one cared about Joy and Po. The more they did, the more anxious they became.

Like old and unnecessary baggage left here, it seemed that the two of them would be abandoned here.

“I don’t want to go home, sister.”

“Me too. Don’t worry, Po! Even if they ask me to mop the floor, I will try to force you to stay here, so please wait for a while.”

“Did the princess abandon us?”

“No. It will not.”

At that time.

“Master Ethan?”

Ethan came to visit Dorothea’s detached palace. Clara and the people of the detached house welcomed him in haste.

“You must be busy, but I’m sorry for coming.”

Ethan greeted the people of the detached palace kindly.

“No, masters are always welcome. But the princess isn’t here…”

“I know. I have a request from the Princess.”

Then Ethan’s eyes turned to Joy and Po on one side.

The two people, who made eye contact with Ethan, stiffened on the spot like a small animal facing a wild beast. Joy grabbed Po’s hand for no reason.

‘I didn’t know why my body was tense in front of those star-like beautiful eyes.’

Ethan’s gaze returned to Clara after giving them one warning.

“Here is the letter from the princess.”

“Oh!”

Clara accepted Ethan’s letter with a smile.

After reading the letter, Clara wiped the tears away from her eyes.

“Our princess, you are too kind…!”

Of course, Clara would go up to Lampas and serve Dorothea again, but Dorothea, who cared about the servants here, was just lovely.

She left a greeting by mentioning the names of the servant and gardener of the detached palace, and chef, even the names of the youngest in the kitchen.

Clara had the people in the detached palace return the letter.

And one letter, sealed in another envelope, was about Joy and Po.

“Joy, Po! The princess is telling you to come up to Lampas too!”

When Clara delivered the good news, the two, who were tense, jumped and hugged each other.

‘It’s Lampas! Isn’t it the busiest city in the world?’

‘I heard that it is difficult to get a pass in Lampas, where the emperor lives.’

‘To be able to go to such a city!’

Ethan looked down at them, who were noisy and did not fit in with the detached palace. His white hands clenched their fists and curled up.

“Thank you so much for delivering the letter, Young Master.”

Clara and the people of the palace thanked Ethan.

Ethan replied with a smile.

“It’s something the princess asked me to do. Of course, I should.”

“If you are not busy, would you like to go inside and have some refreshments?”

Clara asked because she couldn’t just let her precious guest back.

Ethan shook his head.

“I’ll just go back. What am I doing alone in the palace where the princess is not there? I was just here to deliver the letter.”

Ethan politely said goodbye and left the private palace.

As he was about to get on the duke’s carriage, someone caught his footsteps from afar.

“Young master!”

Joy and a small Po with a good voice came running.

“Thank you so much for sending the letter! Without the master, we would have been abandoned.”

Joy and Po bowed deeply and said to Ethan.

“And I’m sorry about the last time. At that time, I was so afraid that the princess would be angry with us…”

Joy also apologized for the handkerchief. To be honest, Joy didn’t really like Ethan until recently.

It was because Ethan made Dorothea angry that day because he was pushing Joy to Deliver the snack fruit and so on.

Joy said he hated Ethan for making her behave that way.

“I was really stupid. I am not supposed to touch princess stuff. Then I got angry at the young master who thought of me. But the young master even delivered such a letter for us!”

Ethan quietly looked at Joy, who had said thank you several times with an excited face.

And.

“You are so lucky.”

A cold voice came from his lips.

“Yes?”

“Don’t blacken the face of the princess.”

Ethan let out a cold word and got into the carriage.

The carriage departed without Joy and Po having time to respond, and the two of them stood in front of the detached palace and looked only at the end of the carriage.

“Sister… Is the young master angry?”

Po grabbed Joy’s collar and asked.

Then, Joy put a lot of wind on her cheeks and wrinkled her forehead.

“I take back my thanks, you’re just pretty trash!”

Joy shouted as she looked at the carriage that was so far away that Ethan couldn’t hear her voice.

The Episteme transfer exam was held on a windy day.

Dorothea did not refuse the emperor and accepted the Episteme transfer exam.

The problem is.

“It’s 0 points?”

“Yes…”

Robert, the aide, seemed to be on a thorn cushion.

A princess who got 0 points in the episteme test.

“Did she make the paper blank?”

“No, she finished everything.”

Five hundred multiple-choice questions, and then ten essay questions.

Dorothea wrote down the answer without leaving a single question, and it was a neat 0 point.

‘It would be better than this.’

“What about Swordsmanship, horseback riding, and archery exams?”

“She took all the exams.”

In the test for cutting the head of a target with a sword, only the leg was cut accurately.

The horse seemed to come in first place perfectly and then stopped in front of the target point.

All the arrows hit the outside of the scoring zone. And that’s exactly one point.

In other words, Dorothea’s skills are perfect, but she falls short of the test standards.

“She did that on purpose.”

It was then that Carnan understood the situation.

    Imagine having ZERO right answers on a 500 MCQ test. She’s awesome😂

    Awww Stefan noticing that Dorothea is comfortable with Ray – despite being conflicted about his existence. This is so wholesome. Would almost make me forget about Carnan’s unwelcome appearance in this chapter.

    Thank you for translating despite recovering!
