Blasio expression hardens.
"really?"
"Yes!"
When I replied loudly, he quickly took the note and said,
“I'll go now.”
He looked around and added.
“Actually taboo to bring text outside. Neither you nor I would be safe if anyone knew. So……."
Blasio seems to be planning to take what I interpret for what it is.
She looked at me with soft eyes, as I placed my index finger on my lips.
“Sst! I know."
“You're really smart.”
Haha, it's all for my benefit anyway.
It would have been better if Mina had not come, but coincidentally, if she had come, it would have been revealed that the interpretation of the prophecy was wrong.
If Blasio comes up with that interpretation, it would be his fault. If he tried to blame me for that, who would believe him?
“Then, son. I'll go now.”
"Yes. Goodbye bye!"
I watched Blasio's back as he rushed to the temple.
'Because he's a greedy man, it's perfect.'

Adrian went to consult on schedule as I continued the work with a more relaxed mind.
The first thing they did was attach Cecilia to the Empress Dowager.
“... So, did you give all the wealth left by your parents to your sister?”
Hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Cecilia glanced at me. I nodded and he replied.
“What my dead parents left behind was just an old house and a few acres of fields attached to that house. It wasn't a disappointing amount, and it didn't depend on me because my sister raised me on behalf of my late parents when I was young.”
"I like it when you don't have greed."
The heart of the Emperor belonged to Cecilia. The Empress Dowager, who pampered me for the incident, was also kind to Cecilia.
It is only natural that Cecilia has an advantage over other candidates.
"No way! How ordinary people become finalists!”
“Even Lady Amboise, supported by the Empress Dowager, did not make it to the final.”
“Cecilia Olga recently visited the palace of the Empress Dowager. The Empire would be in trouble if he won. ”
Cecilia was proudly included as the last two finalists.
The Emperor, who knew that this was happening because of me, thanked me.
“How can princess Dubbede please me so much? Come." Comehere."
I smiled awkwardly as I held the cake that the emperor had given me.
'The Emperor hates the Empress Dowager very much, but their behavior is very similar.'
I sat next to the emperor chewing on the cake, he chuckled and poked my glaring cheeks. Cecilia looked at us and laughed out loud.
He glanced at the emperor and said.
“But, Your Majesty, you were overworked yesterday, how are you doing now? Am I too much trouble for you?”
“J, don't say that in front of small children..!”.
The emperor flushed and coughed in vain.
'Did Cecilia bother the emperor? Why?'
I looked around with a confused expression. When I saw Cecilia, she just smiled, but when I saw the emperor, she coughed in vain and got up from her seat. Then he ran away. As I tilted my head, Cecilia smiled and extended her hand.
"Can we go?"
"Huh?? Ah yes." oh yeah."
I grabbed Cecilia's hand and walked across the imperial garden.
Cecilia was named a finalist and our inn was moved. It is located near the Garden of Freesia, which according to Cecilia is the most beautiful garden of the Imperial Palace garden.
“These flowers are in full bloom even in winter. Strong flowers that do not wilt are beautiful.”
Cecilia spoke in a very emotional tone, I replied casually.
“They put a magic stone on it. Precisely, it is not a flower that does not wither, but an artificial flower right?”
"It seems you have developed more reason than emotion ..."
He said with a frown.
'Of course it has to be like that.'
Cecilia looked at me with a confused expression.
“What's your concern?”
"Cecilia must be the queen ..."
“Do you not believe me?”
Cecilia asked me with a smile.
“I believe you, but maybe others do not.. I'm sure Empress Yvonne will interfere in the final election.”
The Empress Dowager was in charge of the final exam, but Empress Yvonne would definitely interfere.
Cecilia, who was getting closer to the emperor by the day, was a thorn in the eyes of Empress Yvonne.
Then, if Cecilia suddenly gave birth to a child, Andre, the son of Empress Yvonne's position might be in danger.
Behind Cecilia as well was Dubbede, she was clearly a powerful enemy.
So, from Empress Yvonne's point of view, it would never be fun.
'He must pass the final exam properly, but how can I keep Empress Yvonne? Oh, to get help from the Empress Dowager…!'
I thought about it but shook my head.
'By the way, the Empress Dowager was a relative of Duke Marche, she was below him. No matter how much she wants to look after Queen Yvonne, she won't help me by leaving her family.'
I grumbled.
“Without interruption, Cecilia will be crowned Queen at any cost.”
"I'm happy."
"That's right. Cecilia is supported by Dubbede, you are intelligent and also have experience as a knight. On the other hand, your opponent is a little lower. So, Empress Yvonne must have pressured the Empress Dowager to make her a finalist.”
She came from an easily controlled noble family, and she was a shy person who could not speak properly, so she was a perfect match for Empress Yvonne.
“Really, if there are no interruptions…! Distraction?"
'I have a great idea! He can't get in the way!'
When I opened my eyes, Cecilia said, “Lady?”
“I'll be going somewhere for a while. You come back first!”
I ran and left Cecilia.
The place we went to was Deglid's Palace.
When the waiter saw me, they were confused.
"What is the Lady doing here ......"
“I want to see Deglid.”
"You can't do it without a prior appointment."
I touched the protruding object in my pocket and shouted.
"It's medicine!"
"Huh?"
“So, my uncle gave me a good medicine for his condition. I want to deliver it myself because the conditions are kept a secret, right?”
This drug was taken from Taylor's bag for my haro allergy.
“It .....”
The waiter nodded as if he had no choice but to let me give it to him.
“Please wait a minute.”
The maid who entered the palace returned shortly afterwards.
"He let you in."
"Yes!"
I followed the maid and entered the palace. Unlike the Empress Dowager's palace, it was a little bad. There is no magnificent decoration, but it is well maintained and has a clean and old-fashioned feel.
As I entered the door opened by the maid, Deglid with his braided hair glanced at me.
"I greet you."
“Princess Dubbede is running errands to my palace. Does your father know anything?”
"No. Medicine is the reason I made it because I want to meet you.”
“…….”
He looked at me without a word.
"Wow, the pressure's not kidding."
As I shook my hand, he asked.
"So why would Dubbede's daughter even give an excuse?"
I pondered for a moment. How do I say it? How can I win this guy's heart? Should I offer you a deal? Should I pay a bribe?
As I pondered, I suddenly remembered her being with Mina in my first life.
I immediately bowed.
“I wouldn't do such a useless thing for no reason. I believe in integrity, and in my ideals. Please help me."
She smiled proudly next to Mina in my first life. It was a familiar expression. I know someone else who can make that look.
"The Grand Duchy's friendship."
He is a man who puts justice and dignity first. Such a person is similar to him. That is why he has always been dignified and full of dignity.
“Princess Dubbede asked for my help.. For what reason?”
“Cecilia Olga is an amazing person. He never succumbed to greed like the Dubbede people. I'm sure it's.”
"So?"
“Please do your best so that the final assessment can be done correctly.”
“Why didn't you ask the Empress? If it was you, he would have done it.”
“Your Majesty the Empress Dowager examined Empress Yvonne, but in the end they both had the same goal. They are under Duke Marche.”
He stood with his wand.
“What if I have the same destination as them?”
I'm staring.
“... Your goals may be the same, but the method will be different. You are the right person.”
“What does a child know?”
His gaze became sharp.
"What are you? Your eyes are not like a nine-year-old.”
"If you help me, I'll give you back the honor."
"Honor……."
“There is something about you retreating from the battlefield but people think illness is just an excuse. I'll give you a chance to overcome your disgrace. ”Kataku while clenching my fists.
“……!”
His eyes were slightly trembling.
'Done.'
I know someone like him. Duke Amity is such a person. They are not greedy, but consider honor to be the most important thing.
"There will be a war against Westria across the sea soon."
It was always like that in my previous life.
“This will be a sea battle. I'll help you end the war.”
"... How can I defeat the young general Westria with my old body?"
I grabbed etwal in my pocket..
'Chul-soo.'
[Huh?]
'You, continue what you talked about yesterday. Lee Soon... What general are you talking about? What did the turtle ship do?'
[Ah, you mean General Lee Soon-shin? Turtle ship? He's an amazing man.!].
When I heard Chul-soo, I looked at him.
"You have 12 ships."
“…….”
She did not avoid my gaze, but I was sure her eyes were trembling with excitement. Are you sure the general won the sea battle with 12 ships? How could there be such a great general?
