Last Queen
7 - 2
[Emperor POV]
3 Days before the wedding
The Cathal Emperor did his usual schedule, checking imperial files and plans for a school-building project for a state college.
And held a meeting for the next three months on the acceptance of the new empress and the responsibilities that the empress could take care of with the relevant ministers.
"Your Majesty, the dress that Miss Brendan is about to wear is finished" a clothes desiner told the Cathal Emperor.
"take it to Miss Brendan and adjust it to her posture, it seems like her body is more contained now" explained the Emperor.
"wow.. are you really in love with Arthur's ex ?" sahut Julio Aiden, Imperial Prime Minister Ann.
The emperor only glanced at Julio Aiden lazily.
"if you come here just to make fun of me, you'll be pulled off your vacation rations!" the Cathal Emperor was upset.
"I'm not brazen, I haven't had a year and four months off because of you" protested Julio the Prime Minister.
The Cathal, Julio Aiden, and Arthur Alphonsus are the triad of heaven. These three men were so influential in Ann's empire.
"did you really marry that woman ?" ask Julio curiously.
"do I look like I'm kidding?" the Cathal Emperor replied.
"i did not expect that His Majesty would marry Duke Arthur's former lover, the ministers still half-heartedly accept him" Julio said.
Amid talk of the Emperor and the Prime Minister regarding the marriage with Claire Brendan. Appeared a servant from the palace concubine who ran panting.
"Please, Your Majesty the Emperor, Princess Irene is making trouble with the workers in the main castle courtyard" the maid explained.
The emperor left the meeting room followed by a personal bodyguard and a servant from the concubine's palace.
"wow.the show is interesting" Julio said and followed behind the Cathal Emperor.
Prangs....
There was the sound of a flower pot breaking from being hit by Princess Irene.
"Irene" exclaimed the Emperor to stop Princess Irene's anger.
Princess Irene had a rougher and slightly haughty temperament. Although covered by her graceful and beautiful face.
The Cathal Emperor stopped the increasingly angry Irene. The Cathal Emperor pulled on Irene's arm to stare at her face.
"Be nice until one week I'm married to Irene. You're making a mess"
"what ? be nice ? won't!"
"didn't you want to prove that you're an honorable Duke's daughter ?" persuade Emperor.
"what after one week was I allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' daughter?" ask Irene who is interested.
"i never forbid my wives to seek my attention" replied the Cathal Emperor.
"well, I'll stay in the concubine's palace for a week bye bye dear" Princess Irene closed by stroking the Emperor's cheek.
Princess Irene and her servants left the main castle courtyard.
All officers looked relieved.
"terrible" Julio said as he shook his head.
"it would be better if Miss Brendan was with Arthur" he said.
Grebs
The emperor pulled Julio's collar. The Emperor looked at Julio, but Julio looked confused.
Julio took off the Emperor's grip on his collar.
"don't say that again or your engagement I broke and there's no holiday" the Emperor said angrily and left Julio.
Actually, there's nothing special about Princess Claire. But Cathal agrees to the offer to marry Princess Claire because she remembers her every touch with Claire.
This woman is different. A woman who is not at all good at intimate relationships but makes Cathal satisfied, as well as her courage to guarantee that she is pregnant is also the point why she agreed to marry Claire.
Cathal thinks this is rational.
Men do need women like not to always be in bed ? Promising a child anyway, the descendants of the Emperor must have been planned . Cathal said in heart
