episode_0101

A few days after visiting the auction house.

Early in the morning, take a carriage and head to Roman Port.

The reason for heading to the port so early in the morning is because an important guest is arriving today.

Previously, I had pointed out Sabinelli, a vassal of Ioannes, as the main culprit in the attempted assassination of the emperor.

He made a strong demand for Savinelli, even mentioning the breaking of the alliance, but Ioanes insisted that he was not the type of person to do so, and there was an endless confrontation.

In the end, after a long period of negotiation, Ioanes and I…

An agreement was reached to dispatch Savinelli to Rome as the Grand Duchy’s ambassador.

Sabinelli played an active role as Ioannes’ intellectual within the imperial faction.

First, we decided to secure his safety as a hostage.

As I am representing Ioanes, I cannot harm him carelessly, but Savinelli shows abilities that are unusual for Ioanes. I decided to first be satisfied with separating the two.

Anyway, if I unify later, Savinelli will end up being a great slave… no, a person who will lead the empire.

I like this direction more than the killing direction.

Come to think of it.

Did you say keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

It’s a famous line that seems like something I’ve seen in a movie before, but now I’m putting it into practice.

Soon, I feel the carriage stop.

[His Majesty the Grand Duke. Arrived at the port.]

I answer what the soldier said.

“Has Count Savinelli arrived?”

[They say the ship hasn’t arrived yet.]

After hearing those words, I get off the carriage.

From early morning, I look at the porters and carriages running busily at the port.

It’s a little cold.

I think to myself as I feel the chilly wind blowing as it is still early spring.

Sabinelli…

I hope he is as great a person as rumored.

Although he is not a count belonging to the Kingdom of Nicaea, he is the son of the Count of Lazio, who was active in the imperial faction for a long time, and only recently became a count with the help of Ioannes.

I heard that for someone in his 30s, he is wise and has great cunning and insight.

When I was looking forward to meeting Savinelli.

“Your Highness, the ship carrying Count Savinelli is entering the port.”

As I looked out at the sea, I saw a ship coming into the harbor after passing the magnificent underwater wall.

The flag of the Kingdom of Nicaea seen above the ship.

Have you finally arrived?

It was later than I thought, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Soon, I looked at the soldiers as they docked at the port. Soldiers begin to lay a purple carpet where the ship is docked.

Generally, high-ranking officials such as kings or archdukes can wear red carpets.

However, the emperor has the privilege of being able to lay a purple carpet.

Well… In ancient times, purple dye was so expensive that it was called the color of the emperor, and it is still one of the colors that represent the emperor.

The honor guard forms a line and waits for Baedo Savinelli to take the lead.

When a young man is seen on the ship, the honor guard leader shouts.

“We sincerely welcome Count Savinelli, representative of His Majesty Ioannes, King of Nicaea!”

And then the performance begins.

Savinelli begins to get off the boat.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Savinelli, Count of Lazio. Thank you for this welcome. His Majesty the Archduke.”

I say this with a smile as I look at Savinelli who looks at me and bows his head in respect.

“Thank you for coming from such a distance.”

Savinelli smiles at my words.

“No. To maintain good relations with the Grand Duchy. I am honored to be here.”

After saying goodbye, I guide you to the imperial carriage.

“Thank you for saying that. I hope we can build a good relationship.”

“I hope so too.”

Then, he heads to the imperial palace with Savinelli in the carriage.

***

It’s been a while since I enjoyed tea with my daughters.

“Sister, but my brother-in-law says he goes out on a secret trip once every two weeks. Next time we go out, can’t the three of us go out together?”

“Well? Should I ask him this time? Let’s go out, three of us?”

Joy speaks with joy at Terra’s words.

“Really? Nana! I don’t know how long it’s been since I last went to Romance with my sister.”

Their words remind me of the dark history of some time ago.

Ah… I’m crazy. Just having a delusion like that…

I feel like I have no shame in seeing my son-in-law.

You suspect Joy and her son-in-law of having an affair.

To be honest, I want to hide in a rat hole.

“Mom, how about you go with us?”

I wave my hands at Joy’s words.

“I’m fine.”

Ah… I’m embarrassed.

What if my son-in-law thinks me strange?

At that time, I slapped him, but he said it was okay.

Seeing that, I felt like I wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

“Ah, that’s right. Sister, what about the effect of the unicorn horn?”

I hit my polite and sincere son-in-law without considering the circumstances…

“How can you… Why does a girl who hasn’t even gotten married think such things?”

Theodora asks back with an annoyed face, but their conversation doesn’t reach my ears.

I don’t know how effective it will be… It’s going to be horribly effective.

Ah… what if my son-in-law thinks I’m an old crazy bitch?

“Yes, but… I’m curious. Because I’m not an adult yet and I’m not married… A man who ate a unicorn’s horn on his first night… Aww… You like that?”

I feel so ashamed because of Joey. I don’t know what’s so exciting about Joy.

Ugh… she’s my daughter, but she’s being rude to me.

The moment I tried to stop myself.

I was surprised by the unexpected words.

“I’m a virgin so I’m not sure?”

“What?!”

“Te… Is it true, Terra?”

At those words, Joy and I’s expressions turn into one of astonishment.

“Sister. That’s ridiculous… I drank that unicorn’s horn?”

This is absolutely ridiculous. Having personally experienced how effective the unicorn horn is, I do not understand Terra’s words.

How much did you suffer because of the brutally excellent effects?

To the point where I fainted from my husband’s persistent demands all night long…

I can’t tell you how many times I fainted the day my husband ate a unicorn horn…

But, remembering those nights, I don’t understand Terra’s words.

You didn’t spend your first night with Terra after eating that unicorn horn?

A bizarre novel written by Joy flashes through my mind.

By any chance… is your son-in-law really a sodomite?

Or is he a eunuch?

Well… otherwise…

Could it be that you left Terra alone after eating the unicorn horn I gave her?

“Son-in-law… You haven’t spent your first night with your son-in-law yet?”

Terra nods her head slightly with a shy face at my words.

“Then…what about our grandchildren?”

Terra responds to my pitiful words with a slightly red face and a humble expression.

“So… my grandson… my mother, I haven’t even spent a night with him yet…”

Joy says that as if it’s strange.

“Well… didn’t your brother-in-law like unicorn horns? Why did you stay up all night so much that you once had a nosebleed?”

right. In fact, once my son-in-law ate a unicorn horn, he kept asking for it every morning and gave it to him.

Theodora speaks as if she is a little embarrassed by those words.

“Well… if you eat that, it’s so good to stay up all night…”

what? That precious thing? Use it to work overtime?

It is said that she ate the precious medicinal herbs given to her to help her give birth to her grandchildren and burned them while she was working overtime.

I want grandchildren and granddaughters like this? Does your son-in-law work overtime instead of doing the night shift he is told to do?

Do you use medicine to work overtime?

Is he really crazy?

-shaking…

Are you shaking with anger?

What’s wrong with my daughter? Still not having the first night?

Do other people want to hold my daughter’s hand even just once?

I am furious because I think this is an insult to my daughter and me.

-widely!

I slam the tea table with both hands and shout.

“Just leave my damn son-in-law!”

I tried to get up today, vowing that I would make my son-in-law marry Theodora, even if it meant twisting his hair…

“Mother. Pin it. I have thoughts too.”

I was shocked to see Theodora speaking so bleakly.

“Tonight won’t go away easily.”

He smiles brightly, but speaks in a trembling voice as he looks at a smile that looks somewhat dangerous.

“That… Terra? No? Surely you don’t want to show off your tastes to your heart’s content?”

Theodora grins and says at my words.

“It’s just my taste… Maybe my mother is right. I can’t just leave the guy I like alone, right?”

My daughter’s words fill me with fear.

Are you… are you really going to do that by forcibly tying me up… hitting me… and pouring candle wax on me?

“Wow, then your sister is going to attack you?”

When Joey covers her mouth in response to Terra’s words… Theodora shakes her head and says.

“No. How can I attack the powerful Debian?”

therefore. Does this mean that because your son-in-law is strong, you tie him up and attack him?

scary. Even though she is my daughter, her bizarre tastes are so scary.

But… if this works…

Yes, it’s because my son-in-law is still innocent and I don’t know much about it.

These two need a chance.

Even if there is a lot of whipping on that occasion… it can’t be helped.

As the adult of the family and the imperial family, a child between the two is essential for the future.

And… I also want to meet cute Ian and Renee as soon as possible…

In the end, my son-in-law may be a little sick, but…

If he had just attacked Terra in the first place, this Sadal would not have occurred.

“Then what are you going to do?”

Theodora just smiles at Joey’s words.

“Hehe… You’re not an adult yet, are you? Ask later when you become an adult.”

Terra’s smile makes my heart tremble.

I can’t believe my daughter’s perverted tastes gave rise to such cute grandchildren and granddaughters.

How scary and terrible this is.

But that doesn’t mean I’m afraid that if I stay like this, I’ll never see Ian and Renee again.

I can’t believe that such cute and lovely Ian and Renee were conceived through violence… Ah… Honey, I think the world is really scary.

“P, where is that? I too will become an adult after my birthday next year…”

Joy speaks as if annoyed by Terra’s words.

“You’re not an adult now, right?”

Watching Terra speak leisurely, I sincerely hope that my grandchildren and granddaughter will not inherit their mother’s tastes.

If the grandchild and granddaughter have bizarre tastes like Terra…

Just imagining it makes my head dizzy.
