178. Empire’s First Sword Selection Contest (1)
Irina, the second princess of the empire.
After meeting with the princesses, she left the garden.
“Ha…. Ha….”
The princess took a deep breath and hid behind her pillar.
―――.
He whistled and summoned a Jeon Seo-gu that was accompanying him.
After that, she quietly began writing her note.
To his closest minister, Prime Minister Mosian.
“Please go quickly.”
Jeonseo-gu was purchased at a high price after its power grew significantly.
The guy cut through the sky at high speed and flew towards the center of the capital.
“….”
However, Irina was restless even after sending Jeon Seo-gu away.
She walked in circles around her, alone with her back to her.
Like a nervous silver wolf.
After that, quite a long time had passed.
A reply has arrived from the Prime Minister.
「Tonight, the Emperor said you may come to my bed.」
Irina was relieved to be able to see her father.
After putting her note in her bosom, she busily returned to her own imperial palace.
“Are you here, Your Highness!!”
“I congratulate you on having your military authority officially recognized!”
Dasha and Allen were waiting for her in her northern palace.
They welcomed their lord with joyful hearts.
“Thank you, everyone….”
Dasha wiped her eyes as if she was touched.
“I knew. She knew that the princess would do it….”
“Me too! So, haven’t you been following Your Highness since long ago?”
Irina looked at her entourage with satisfaction.
“It’s thanks to everyone’s hard work.”
I felt touched as if there were no such precious people in the past.
“What do you plan to do from now on?”
The second princess has reached the first step in her great career.
Her associates were looking forward to her next move.
Expansion of the Knights Templar?
Establishment of an intelligence group for a full-scale fight for the throne?
They stared at the princess’s lips with her expectant eyes.
At that moment….
“First of all….”
Irina answered them with very serious eyes.
“I’m going to go to the kitchen and make a hamburger steak.”
“… ?”
Hamburg Steak.
At those two vague words, the people close to him all looked dumbfounded.
“What kind of steak…?” ?”
“Hamburg steak.”
The princess answered kindly again and again.
“It’s my father’s favorite food. “My mother did it often.”
“Ah… , you are planning to serve your Majesty a dish filled with love… ?”
Dasha tried to package it somehow.
Irina responded with a bright smile.
“Yes, so I hope you all focus on your own work for now.”
Her unique neat and beautiful face passes by her entourage.
The princess entered her middle room alone.
“….”
Dasha and Allen just stared blankly at that scene.
――――――.
She opened her kitchen door with all her might.
She made eye contact with her chef, who was wiping down the table inside.
“Your Highness… ? “Is there anything you would like to eat?”
“No, I have something to cook myself.”
Irina took off her outerwear and hung it on her hanger.
Afterwards, she approached me, raising the sleeves of her dress.
“What kind of dish…?” ?”
“Hamburg steak.”
The chef was surprised by the name of the dish, which was more difficult than expected.
“Oh my… What are you going to do if oil splatters on those pretty hands? No… !”
Why, the chef makes a fuss as if he is holding a sword himself.
At this, Irina smiled leisurely.
“If the princess of the empire couldn’t even cook because she was afraid of her oil, how much would people make fun of her?”
She skillfully holds her kitchen knife and onions.
She simply started peeling and shredding her.
“Don’t worry about me, can you please give me a moment?”
“Oh, I understand….”
The chef retreated a long way as instructed.
However, I watched Irina nervously with her restless expression.
“Just as I learned…” . As I learned….”
Irina skillfully tied her apron.
Then, I added onions and olive oil to the wok and stir-fried them.
Afterwards, she mixes flour, breadcrumbs, eggs, and milk into the minced meat.
She made a round steak and grilled it with care.
“Whoa…” .”
Soon, the round hamburger steak was completed.
The princess divided the dainty lumps into two of her lunch boxes and packed them with mashed potatoes.
“Oh my…. “Your Highness, can you get married?”
The chef, who was watching the scene blankly, was amazed.
However, he quickly apologized to her, who soon became her monarch, thinking it was rude to her.
“No, what I’m saying is that you have such great skills….”
“hehehe, thank you.”
The princess responded generously.
However, her fingers were full of cuts from all the hard work she had done learning to cook.
Irina carefully hid the wound and put her lunch in her basket.
‘Now that I think about it….’
It seems like I’ve learned more about household chores and how to help my husband than about government affairs.
“It’s a collection of poetry….”
Irina suddenly began to feel that she was becoming more domestic and softer.
She wasn’t suited to be a monarch, but when she thought of a man who came to her mind, she was able to grin.
Because he was now more important than state affairs.
“I’m going to visit my father for a while.”
The princess came out of her kitchen and boarded her carriage.
Normally, she would have gone like the wind with her exceptional horseback riding skills.
This time, she took her lunch box with her and boarded the carriage carefully.
It is already 5 PM.
The princess prepared her dinner considering that her father always ate late at 8 o’clock.
The Emperor’s residence, Cheongung, arrived so late at night.
Her military authority was recognized, and the princess, who was reborn as a true monarch, reached her front door without any restrictions.
“Your Majesty asks you to come in.”
“Thank you always, Mosian.”
Prime Minister Mo Xian smiled and opened the heavy door of the bedroom.
Then, Irina leisurely walked inside, holding the lunch basket with both hands.
An elegant marble tile laid on the floor.
The tiles were spread out wide like a playground.
“Meet Your Majesty the Emperor.”
The 2nd princess, standing in the middle of the place, politely opened her mouth.
「Irina is here?」
A majestic voice fills the bedroom.
「The sun has set. What happened at this late hour?」
Leonhardt sits at his desk wearing a monocle.
After office hours, he greeted his daughter with a more generous expression.
“I have something I want to give you.”
Irina smiled brightly.
The corners of the Emperor’s mouth went up without realizing it at that neat smile.
A look as pure and beautiful as a single flower of the valley.
Because he was truly happy that the woman with that appearance was his daughter.
「Please come inside. I really wonder what Jim’s daughter has prepared for you.」
Leonhardt recently finished reading the book ‘Good Dad, Cool Dad’.
He led his second daughter to the desk with an awkward voice and smile.
“… ?”
Irina tilted her head at the sight of her father creaking.
Then, she cautiously approached his side.
「It smells delicious…. So much so that you can feel it from far away….」
The emperor let out a long breath.
And then, he swallowed deeply at the familiar and fragrant scent of meat.
“Yes, I thought you hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so I prepared it.”
Irina opened the lid of her carefully packed lunch box.
Then, a fragrant scent tickled the emperor’s nose.
「This can’t be right…. Is it a hamburger steak? ?」
“Yes, I heard my mother often did this for my father.”
The silver-haired princess smiled brightly.
The emperor stared at her smile for a moment.
Longer than a delicious dish.
「How do I know what I like….」
“My mother said that whenever my father ate this dish, he was always happy like a child.”
Irina picked up a fork and knife.
Then, she started cutting the meat herself.
“You look so happy every time you talk about that….”
The princess stabbed the steaming meat with a fork.
Continued….
“At that time, I felt it. “That my mother really loved her father.”
She advised her father carefully.
“So I also wanted to learn how to cook and serve it to my father.”
The princess’s blue eyes become thinner.
The emperor couldn’t help but laugh at her refreshing eye smile.
「Well, learning how to cook these days….」
The light in Irina’s blue eyes disappears.
She answered her father with as unfocused eyes as possible.
“Yes, it was all to give to my father.”
「Ah…. That’s right, that’s right….」
Only then did the emperor clear up the misunderstanding that a man had received the lunch box before him.
She realized that the man was just a test subject before she received her lunch box.
「….」
Leonhard ate the steak handed to him by his daughter.
And then, the moment you take a bite.
「… !!」
Sweet demiglace sauce.
The rich flavor and texture pouring out with the sauce.
And, even the taste of your wife.
The warmth of Istina, who had sincerely touched her, filled her mouth.
「It’s delicious….」
The Emperor took a deep breath.
After that, I looked at Irina carefully.
「Her cooking skills are truly outstanding, just like Irina, Irina.」
“Not much to say…. “She still has a long way to go to follow her mother.”
The princess waved her hand.
However, Leonhard did not spare praise today.
「No, it’s almost the same. “Does this really make you envious of the person who will become your husband later?”
Mr.
When Irina heard those words, Irina’s unfocused eyes flashed.
“My wife… ?”
「Yes, one day you too will meet a companion, won’t you? . “When I think about that time, it tastes really good and yet bitter.”
The emperor smiled and tasted the steak repeatedly.
Irina carefully asked him one question.
“You will be very disappointed if I bring your husband back later.”
「hahahaha… They say they like each other, but as parents, how could they object? “All we can do is test what kind of guy he is.”
Irina nodded her head quietly.
It was as if she had elicited an answer from her father.
“Then, father. If… “What are the criteria for that test?”
The emperor was completely obsessed with steak.
He answered naturally, following the warm atmosphere.
「Well….」
Leonhardt looked at Irina intently.
His gentle blue eyes were like a calm lake.
「No matter what happens in the world, I can protect you.」
「Any man who is upright and faithful would be good.」
Irina pouted her lips at her ambiguous words.
And then, she changed her strategy….
“Father, I am lacking in learning, so could you please tell me in more detail?”
She asked in a nasal voice that had never been heard by the emperor.
「… !!」
It’s a bonus to sneak up on him and wrap your arms around his thick arms.
The emperor, who had been forced to stay away from his daughters his whole life, had his eyes sparkle as he heard his daughter’s cuteness for the first time in his life.
Irina is always more compassionate and neat than anyone else!
「Well, well…. I guess I’ll have to think about it some more, hahahahaha… !!」
The emperor gently closed her eyes.
And then, she took a deep breath, as if she wanted to enjoy this emotional moment for the rest of her life.
「A strong knight would be good. About the Imperial First Sword….」
The Empire’s strongest sword.
Other people would have laughed out loud at that absurd statement.
However, Irina was actually happy when she heard that.
She is now the man she has her eye on.
Because he was indeed a person close to that title.
“Hmm…. “Then, is it okay if I take first place in the article evaluation competition in the second half of this year?”
Irina quietly sliced a steak and placed it in her father’s mouth.
Then, the emperor laughed and took the meat and ate it.
「Yes, a great person of that level can truly be said to be close to the Empire’s Best Sword.」
He crossed his arms alone.
Not only regular drivers but also future leaders participate in the second half of the article evaluation competition.
Being first among them actually meant being the strongest in the empire.
“Okay, I understand…” . So, if a man is strong enough to come in first place, does his status matter?”
Irina carefully poured herself some warm tea.
Then, the emperor nodded leisurely.
「hehehe…. When have you seen me judge the prominence of a talented person? As long as you have great personality and skills… “Anyone is good.”
Leonhard raised his finger.
And, he emphasized one important point.
「Ah, of course, including ‘true love’ between each other.」
True love.
Irina looked dumbfounded for a moment after hearing that.
“Love….”
What is the easiest way to confirm each other’s sincerity?
The princess swallowed her saliva deeply and remembered the method.
From the time she wore a nun’s uniform and tried to match her body with his.
Even a deep kiss that seems to confirm sincerity.
When Irina remembered her memories from that time, the corners of her mouth went up without her knowing.
She felt that if she went just a little further, she would finally be able to confirm the ‘truth’.
“Father.”
「Tell me, Irina.」
The emperor smiled and looked at his second daughter.
That moment.
“If we find someone like you mentioned, can we bring them in right away?”
Before I knew it, I came face to face with Irina, who had gone beyond her simple neatness and had become naughty.

“True love.”
「… ?」
The emperor tilted his head in response to his daughter’s question.
He sipped his tea at her inexplicable anxiety.
「Of course, what father would oppose the man who likes her daughter? “As long as the conditions are met, I will always be on your side.”
After Irina returned.
The emperor went to bed.
However, maybe it was because I ate steak late at night and fell asleep.
Or is it because of the overwhelming anxiety?
The emperor had a dream.
A beautiful silver wolf in his enclosure.
A lion with brilliant golden fur.
And even the leopard that was purring at him.
A dream in which animals raised with care follow a fox that appears in the mountains.
The sight of him chasing after that damn thing’s fluffy tail as if he were possessed.
「What kind of dream is this? !!」
It made the emperor’s tightly closed eyes widen.
「What a strange dream….」
WOOOOOH
