REINCARNATION THIS TIME, THE EVIL EMPRESS WANTS TO BECOME A BUSINESSMAN

TWENTY TWO

"What's this?"

"The cake looks funny."

"Say there's the Emperor's cooking as well, I can't wait to taste."

"Ah, there's writing too."

"Well, I'm there too."

"What's writing?"

"Thank you for coming, may all your dreams come true like my dreams tonight, which could celebrate a simple birthday with my two loved ones. Selena Amarty."

The atmosphere became silent, the nobles fell silent and tried to digest the writing of Selena's daughter and realized that all this time only two children could have the emperor's last name, Birendra. Crown prince and princess Selena.

No matter how pampered Prince Bence and princess Cassia were, those who could use the emperor's surname were still the children of the empress.

"Why can we forget it?"

"How is this?"

If the crown prince were to ascend the throne, it was likely that the children that the emperor pampered now, would still be expelled out because of their bad relationship.

"Daughter of Cassia, what do you think an-" one of Cassia's noble friends tried to ask Cassia. "Where is His Majesty?"

"I saw him running towards the garden, the queen and the concubine were trying to chase him" said one of the nobles standing by the garden window, looking out at the window.

While in the park, Stefano distributed food to the plates of his wife and children, the ladies and guards were given cakes and dishes first.

Selena asked Stefano who was standing in front of the chair to put her cooked fish on Aelia's plate. "Are you not tired of cooking that much?"

Stefano shuddered a little at the sweet words of her daughter, but they were well hidden. "Dad's fine."

"really?" Selena asked in disbelief and held tightly to her mother's hand. He is currently sitting among the parents while Aether sits next to Stefano, essentially the seat of Stefano's two children, separating the seats of a married couple.

"Do you expect to sleep in one room with Mom?" search Selena.

Aether almost choked on her brother's outspoken question.

Aelia frowned. "Selena, there's no way the Emperor would bother coming to mother's place. Mother is no longer attractive in the Emperor's eyes."

The emperor sat down. "Now you're holding Dad's harem, there's no way you don't know Dad's schedule."

Selena took a breath. "I'll return the harem management to the Queen after the Queen's family pays the debt to Grandpa's family."

The emperor frowned. "Dad doesn't matter if you want to take control of the palace, replace the ailing Empress."

Selena cut her food down to small. "I don't like holding a harem, there's no point in it. There's just a quarrel over KE.KA.SIH Daddy's problem."

Selena deliberately emphasized the word lover.

Aether had expected this but did not dare to ask. "The Queen's job is not just to take care of the harem, there are others, right? For example taking care of the expenses of the Palace."

"Taking care of the bookkeeping is very boring, not interesting. I'm not as careful as a sister who can read a scam with just one look" Selena said.

"Then, what do you want?" ask Aelia who doesn't understand. "Do you want to get married?"

Selena looked at her mother's horror. "Is there a man as good as Father and as smart as Brother when combined into one?"

Stefano and Aether were offended by Selena's words, but did not dare to protest.

Aelia started to think and clapped her hands once. "Grandfather is greater than the Emperor and my son's intelligence is unmatched."

Stefano was about to protest then fell silent as he felt a kick from under the table, he stared angrily at his brazen son.

Selena turned to Stefano. "Because of that, can I come to Daddy's work?"

Aether breathed and then went back to eating. She had guessed that with her sister's pent-up desire being stymied with past resentment, now that their parents were fine, Selena didn't need to hate about the law.

Aelia and Stefano thought differently and worried.

"You want to replace the throne of Aether?"

"Selena, I don't agree if you replace your father. There is still a better position!"

"DAD!"

The four people who were having dinner were shocked.

"DAD DID YOU HEAR ME? I HAVE A BIRTHDAY TODAY TOO! DID DAD NOT COME?"

Selena snorted and spoke to her mother. "Look, mom. The Emperor should not be with us."

Aether did not comment.

Stefano patted Selena's head gently and held her tightly so that her body sat up straight. "You're eating, don't sit like that."

Selena survives so as not to follow Stefano's hand.

Aelia who saw that, suddenly stood up and hugged her son's head. "What are you doing? She's a girl, not a man!"

Selena stuck out her tongue, mocking Stefano.

"DAD!"

Stefano became upset and told something to the chief knight guarding the Emperor.

The chief knight nodded then went towards the princess Cassia and her entourage.

"Is it okay Dad didn't come there?" Ask Aether.

Stefano replied calmly. "Spend your food, don't interfere with the parents' problems!"

Aether went back to eating feeling upset about being treated like a child.

***

Cassia runs towards the park, but is blocked by knights belonging to the emperor and the crown prince. "Surge!" Hisses.

"Sorry, only members of the imperial nuclear family are allowed to enter" said one of the knights who blocked Cassia.

"I'm the Emperor's son!" cassia said arrogantly.

The queen who managed to catch up and stood at the back, suddenly snapped at the knights. "Bad you guys! Dare to insult the Imperial Princess!"

"We are just following orders from the Emperor, if you want to protest - please protest against the Emperor."

Cassia, who could not stand it anymore, shouted loudly so that the Emperor could hear in the garden. "DAD!"

Ira and the other concubines who had managed to catch up, stood behind the queen.

There was no affirmation, though Cassia yelled many times.

Before long a male figure appeared from the garden.

Cassia, who thought it was her father, smiled and was about to say something. "Came-on"

Cassia's smile faded when she saw who had come. The emperor's knight.

The emperor's knight chief bowed respectfully then passed on a message. "Your Highness Princess, if you want to celebrate the feast as usual, please let the Emperor have a quiet dinner with his wife and child. But, if you still want to mess up I'll break up your party."

Cassia surprised.

Ira is speechless.

The queen became angry. "The emperor could not have said that. Cassia, don't be afraid and keep looking for your father!"

Cassia did not want her party to be destroyed, yet she could not refuse the queen's order. "I want you out!"

"Then don't blame me." Honor the head of the emperor's knights.

Cassia was crying, not wanting her party to be destroyed. "DAD! PLEASE COME OUT AND DANCE WITH ME?!" JUST FIVE MINUTES! NO, ONE DANCE - JUST ONE DANCE!"

There was no reply and a portion of the emperor's knights had already gone towards the party.

Cassia knelt down in tears, no matter her expensive dress was broken. "Dad-" roar.
