Chapter 32.2

“Don’t you think it’d be better if you didn’t wear makeup? Then, I could indulge in your lips without delay.”

As Cassel murmured, sounding somewhat regretful, Leilia lowered her head and nestled into his embrace. She was able to set aside her worries about teatime for a moment.

Teatime was held at the Empress’s palace. When the carriage stopped, Leilia and Cassel stepped out and glanced around. Although teatime was usually held in a small palace, this time, it was held specifically at the Empress’s palace.

As a gentle breeze swept through, Leilia’s hair gently moved, brushing against her cheeks.

The flowers that reached down to their knees were blooming beautifully in a circle shape. There was a path leading to the center, where there was an empty space with a canopy set up to provide shade from the sunlight, where teatime was being prepared. It was said that the teatime would be held amidst flowers today, and even a transparent magic net was cast overhead to prevent insects from entering.

When Leilia and Cassel showed their invitations, the servant bowed his head.

It was amazing to attend teatime with him.

It was Lisseltz and the three princes who invited her to tea after Cassel left for the battlefield. In particular, Lisseltz, the son born to the Empress, persistently called for her.

“You have to stay with me.”

Cassel tightened his grip on her hand.

“Of course, I would.”

It might be a little better because Cassel was there.

She recalled what the three princes had done. Despite their strained relationship, they really came together when it came to doing bad things. Leilia suppressed a heavy expression with a faint smile at the thought, but she soon smiled faintly and walked with Cassel.

When they arrived at the teatime venue, people were already there. Chelias noticed Leilia and Cassel and bowed his head.

“You’ve arrived.”

“I greet Your Excellency the Chancellor.”

Leilia greeted him politely as she looked at him.

And behind Chelias stood a young lady.

‘Carania.’

As expected, the Emperor wasn’t idle either since he had summoned Carania to teatime. It seemed that Emperor Leshulean’s desire to welcome Carania as Cassel’s wife knew no bounds.

“Really.”

Cassel furrowed his brow.

“It’s quite a headache.”

After muttering his words, he took his seat. Fortunately, her seat, this time, was next to him.

And shortly after, the three princes entered one by one before their eyes sparkled at the sight of Leilia sitting beside Cassel—they were eyes that looked at her with curiosity. It seemed as though they were restraining themselves because her husband was watching, but if he weren’t here, they would’ve surrounded her as usual.

Leilia smiled as she thought back to that time. Even though she could laugh now, back then, there were many things that made her clench her fists.

“Greetings, Your Highnesses.”

As Leilia rose slightly and bowed her head, Cassel also greeted the princes.

“Oh, I suppose I should call you younger brother? I’ve heard good things about you.”

After saying that, Lisseltz glanced at Leilia.

“It seems like expression has improved, Leilia? Well, happiness might only last until today, so enjoy the moment.”

She sighed at his words.

His sarcastic tone remained the same, whether back in the academy or now. In addition, the princes, led by Lisseltz, were also laughing. However, when they saw the stern expression on Cassel’s face, they all quickly left and sat down, chatting among themselves.

Chelias clicked his tongue and laughed.

‘Right.’

He didn’t side with any prince. Despite the fact that there were many attempts to lure him to support a certain prince, given the possibility that the prince he chose might become the crown prince, he didn’t yield to any of them.

‘…And yet he sides with Cassel.’

How should she interpret this?

And shortly afterwards, the Emperor, Empress, and concubines entered. The members of the imperial family followed and took their seats. Many people had come, but Cassel had memorized their names beforehand since Leilia had informed him. He looked at the people and seemed to be organizing them in his mind.

“Thank you for coming to teatime like this.”

The Emperor said as he took his seat before he began teatime with a smile. First, he introduced each person to Cassel. Seeing that he knew their names, he then praised him on his preparedness.

Of course, Leshulean grimaced when Cassel said he owed it to Leilia.
