7 – Breaking Engagement (3)

Seria stared blankly at Cesar as he entered the mansion leaving her behind.

How much time has passed.

She stayed there, staring at the gate of her mansion, until the knight of her family who accompanied her called her.

Seria was lost in her thoughts in the carriage back to the Duke.

Her spirit still went out of her head and did not come back from the neglect she received from Cesar for the first time in her life.

Her It was Cesar who always embraced her warmly. There’s no way he could become this cold in one morning.

Seria was convinced by the fact that her father, the Duke of Argenta’s unchanging heart, and that her brother still loved her that a person’s temperament does not change easily.

She couldn’t believe that Cesar was neglecting her. In that situation, she had only one conclusion she could draw.

‘That must be smoke’

Seria felt relieved after she made up her mind about César’s attitude.

Neither Cesar nor the Marquis would be without thoughts. Right now, she may be in a state where she can’t think of anything because she’s angry at the picture, but in time she’ll regain her senses, thought Seria.

It is also true that Cesar’s guild was not exposed in front of the Lombardy family. That’s why, in Seria’s opinion, her Lombardy family is in a position where she can’t help but be shaken by her own family.

When Seria and César were first betrothed, the Duke of Argenta ensured that the upper house, in which the family had a majority stake, acquired all ascending rights to the Lombardy domains.

And the mine in the Lombardy estate was also able to transform into a commercial mine because the Argenta family provided the technology.

Other than that, the Argenta family’s influence in the Lombardy territory was enormous. If they really broke off their engagement, the Lombardy estate would have to prepare for huge losses.

That’s why Seria was feeling her own confidence. In the end, Cesar said she had no choice but to come back to him.

Just as Seria had finished her thoughts, she heard a voice calling her that her carriage had arrived at her duke’s residence.

“Whoa…”

Seria took the hand of the knight who carefully escorted her and got off her carriage.

“Good job.”

“No.”

When Seria greeted her knight out of habit, her knight bowed her head to her, blushing a little ashamed.

She had always seen such a scene since growing up, so she thought it was natural, but today, after being rejected by a man for the first time in her life, she was quite happy with the reaction of such an article.

‘Yes, all men are like that, so how long will you reject me as Cesar?’

Perhaps, as long as she keeps visiting and smiling, Cesar will come back to him soon.

With that thought, Seria felt better than before. Today is the day her brother is also away from work, so she has no one to ask Seria any more questions about this.

So Seria was able to wait for the next day with a comfortable mind.

The next day, Seria headed to the Marquis’ residence to see Cesar again. But the words she could hear from her front door were her house president’s toast order.

“Cesar is out.”

“Don’t lie.”

“It’s real. You can come back tomorrow.”

Judging from the butler’s attitude and expression, it didn’t seem like a lie, so Seria wondered about Cesar’s whereabouts. But since she doesn’t seem likely to tell me that she asked, she gave up asking.

“Then I’ll wait until you come.”

At her declaration, the butler sneered and replied.

“You can do whatever you want.”

* * *

The current emperor was an emperor who had been told that he was a good king in almost every way. But he also had some flaws.

One of them was his relationship with the empress. The emperor and empress had an arranged marriage, just like any other royal family marriage.

The emperor thought of the empress as just a political partner. However, the empress was different from the emperor. She asked for true love from her emperor.

In the meantime, the emperor fell in love with a woman whom a slave trader had saved from the East, and the child he got from her was the 4th princess.

And I was facing her in the reception room on top of her where I was running.

“Did you think about my last request?”

Princess 4 was a VIP customer who used to love our guild. Since she had her mother, who was an oriental, she had no choice but to be very interested in the east, and it was possible because the only guild that could trade with the east by sea from the empire was our guild.

“Of course, as it is the princess’ request, I would like to do so… But it requires a formidable price, and it may or may not be possible.”

“But she said she misses her mother! We must save it.”

What she asked me for was not a simple item, but a creature. It was a dragon, a divine beast that was considered rare even in the Orient.

“The dragon is not a creature that can be easily seen even in the East. In order to save it, you must at least negotiate with the imperial family. You will have to pay a hefty price for it. Can you afford to pay that price to the princess right now?”

My words seemed to hit her right in the middle. 4 The princess did not speak for a moment, as if lost in her thoughts. Soon, she opened her mouth with confidence.

“What do you want from me? If it were you, you would have issued a congratulatory order the moment you thought you had nothing to receive from me.”

And then I laughed lightly thinking that making a confident face looks cute.

“Why are you laughing?”

I answered her puffing out her cheeks as if she was a little dissatisfied with my laugh.

“Do you know what I will ask you to do and answer with such confidence? A princess-like person isn’t afraid.”

“You can’t… do naughty things!”

I watched her in silence as her face turned red and didn’t know what to do. When she was working on her upper house, she always took off the mask she was wearing.

“Huh? Why is that mask…”4 Since the princess also knew that I usually never take off my mask, she looked at me in bewilderment. It was the mask she began wearing because she thought it necessary to distinguish between the upper lord of the upper class and the César of the Lombardy family.

However, for her future work, she decided that it was necessary to reveal her identity to her.

“Princess, I will greet you formally. This is Cesar Lombardi.”

“Yes?”

The princess couldn’t come to her senses for a moment as if she was embarrassed, and then she started looking straight at me as the leader slapped her own cheek.

“No… Was the top bar of this top a Lombardi style?”

She was dazed for a moment before speaking her words.

“If this is known outside, there will be an uproar.”

“So please keep quiet for the time being.”

“That’s about it… It’s only natural. So, that is the price I have to pay.”

“Yes, I just need to convince His Majesty the Emperor to take an active part in breaking the engagement between Lady Argenta and me.”

“You said something meaningful for no reason… I thought it was strange.”

“The princess is acting strangely.”

“Ugh…”

Since she has no external activities, she is a princess who stays in her palace all day, so she has no choice but to read various books. It seems that many of her strange books were included among them.

It is clear that she has not read one or two books enough to make her face red while having such a delusion alone.

“Of course, I can’t save the Shinsoo with that alone.”

“Yes? I just told you that it will be fine!”

“I never said it was over.”

“What is it? If it’s weird, I won’t forgive you..!”

“I will put the rest on debt. You only need to listen to my one simple request later.”

“That’s it, right? Are you really saving God?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. I swear on the name of the imperial family. And I will do my best to convince Obama.”

The 4th princess accepted my conditions with an attitude that she couldn’t help it.

In fact, it is not that difficult to find Shinsoo. It was true that she had to get it from the imperial family, but since she had already built a strong friendly relationship with the imperial family, it was possible for her to receive one divine beast.

It is rather a gain to obtain this and the right to do one favor of her 4 princesses.

Now she is the 4th princess who looks like a child and flimsy, but only I know her true worth.

In her original work, when the power of the 1st prince collapsed, she absorbed the power as it was and became the biggest counterforce to the 2nd prince who took the throne as emperor. There are only four years left before that happens.

She was the 4th princess who had the talent to be called a mogul in many ways, both politically and in many ways.

“You really shouldn’t break your promise!”

After talking to me once again and seeing off the 4th princess on her way back, it was already evening.

As I watched the darkening sky, I suddenly remembered what Seria had said to me yesterday.

“Surely, I said I would come today…”

Well, they must have come and gone on their own. I erased her thoughts from her head and returned to her Marquis House using the magic circle I had installed.

When I returned to the Marquis’ residence, a servant urgently told me.

“Cesar. Lady Argenta is still waiting at the door… What should I do?”

When I heard those words, I felt my head go awry.
