Special Chapter. Interlude – Mrs. Moira (3)
In this way, Moira succeeded in meeting Emilia, whom she had longed to meet.
As soon as they met, they praised her face and began to look at each other, and the two were very embarrassed.
“It’s beyond my expectations… ! How can my skin look like white jade… … .”
Is this the only way to observe people or statues?
It’s just that they didn’t touch her directly, but it was more aggressive than any other person Emilia had ever met.
Besides, unlike the men out there who had handed over candy to buy her favor, it was hard to shake off Moira’s sincere, heartfelt exclamations.
“Mo, Mrs. Moira. First of all, having a cup of tea and talking… … .”
“Oh, sorry. Look at my mind.”
When Emilia, who couldn’t stand it, tried to distance herself by using the tea as an excuse, Moira belatedly grabbed the lukewarm teacup and took a sip.
I was so distracted that I didn’t even notice while the tea was cooling.
However, thanks to one of her wishes fulfilled, even the lukewarm tea tasted like honey to Moira now.
“I expected it, but it seems you missed my wife quite a bit.”
“Sure, Gongja. After all, beautiful things are meant to be cherished and loved.”
Basically, a woman named Moira was a person who cherished beautiful and wonderful things in the world as well as art.
The flirtation he gave to Ludwig earlier was also in a similar context to what he did to Emilia now.
But today, because of the huge sun called Emilia, Ludwig’s light was weakened, so naturally, his gaze was only focused on it.
“Anyway, please take care of the situation a little bit. It’s because I’m a very shy person.”
“Yeah, that’s how it should be. But please forgive me for not liking it.”
“… … !”
Moira responded with a gentle smile to Ludwig’s request.
At this, Emilia trembled in fear and moved her hips sideways, and Ludwig, who was watching this, smiled bitterly.
Had she never blinked an eye even when encountering monsters or wild beasts, she had expressed her fear so much?
It was fun because it was a truly rare sight, but on the other hand, it was pitiful to see, so I felt like I had to reach out to help somehow.
“By the way, have you eaten?”
“I haven’t been able to do it yet. I arrived earlier than expected, so the time was ambiguous.”
“Then, it’s a bit early, but how about a meal? It’s a long time ago, so I’ll treat you.”
“You mean Prince Ludwig himself?”
When Moira, who had not expected to be treated so generously, asked with a surprised look in her eyes, he smiled and nodded.
Then, when he glanced at Emilia, she was putting on an apologetic expression.
She invited Moira because she wanted it, but since she was uncomfortable, it was like Ludwig was carrying a gun.
“Even if you do, you know how to cook. You won’t be able to spit it out.”
“Are you looking forward to that? By the way, today isn’t even my birthday, so I don’t know if I deserve such hospitality.”
I knew that Ludwig was good at cooking, having heard, at least by word of mouth, the other day when I visited the Eifretz family.
However, I never dreamed that someone in a position to inherit the family head would soon serve homemade food, so I was excited like a child.
“Since he is also the person who officially bought my first painting, wouldn’t it be right to treat him with utmost respect?”
“officially? Oh, so it seems there is someone else unofficially?”
“This is my mother-in-law. She is also the mother of my wife, Emilia.”
At the unexpected answer, Moira’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern, and soon she cast her gaze toward Emilia, who was sitting next to her.
It was surprising that she wasn’t the first to recognize Ludwig’s painting, but more than that, his curiosity about Emilia’s mother grew.
I wonder if he is someone who is well versed in this field.
“Is it true? Princess Emilia.”
“Yes, he is a person who likes painting. He also said that he would like to meet your wife in person today.”
At the unexpected proposal, Moira happily shook hands and her eyes lit up.
That’s also true, because there are quite a few people who are interested in this field, but not many people can communicate with her.
However, if you are a first-time buyer of Ludwig’s paintings, you must have a good eye for them.
Above all, if he was Emilia’s mother, he would be of the same age as hers, so he had no doubt that it would be a good relationship.
“I see… ! People with good conversation topics are always welcome. What is your mother’s name, by any chance?”
“Call me Julia Bayemurn.”
“Yulia, Yulia… ah! It’s a name I’ve heard before. Aren’t you the one who attended the salon hosted by Mrs. Volfer not too long ago?”
The hostess of the Duke of Volfer was famous for having a heavy buttocks.
In addition, befitting his reputation, he did not invite indifferent people to the salon he hosted.
Those who will lead the story independently are masters or famous people in each field.
And even among those who belonged to aristocratic families, it was to the extent that I would have to accept an invitation once in a lifetime, unless it was for those who had a foot in this field.
And Julia was one of those who had been participating in this salon for a long time.
It does not mean that she knows a little bit of painting simply as a hobby, but that she is a well-informed woman who can have a fairly close discussion with experts in the field.
That even Moira had heard of her name meant that she was a famous figure in the social world.
“Come to think of it, Julia’s last name is Bayemurn. He’s someone I’ve always wanted to meet, and I’m connecting with him like this.”
“My mother said the same thing. I’m sure you’ll be very happy to meet him.”
“Then it is not like this. If you won’t excuse me, where is your wife right now?”
“He must have gone to see his brother for a while.”
Yulia was always busy taking care of the youngest child during this time.
Most of the work is left to subordinates, but it was because of her opinion that she should sleep in her mother’s arms at least once a day.
“Ah, then we should see you after dinner.”
Moira licked her lips in regret, but decided to promise the future.
Even if the desire to meet Amman is like a chimney, there are etiquettes that must be observed as guests.
Even asking the daughter of the Bayemurn family if she could touch her cheek on the invitation page had already crossed the line a long time ago.
“You look very happy. Mrs. Moira.”
“Don’t be happy… ! Ah, I feel like I want to thank Confucius for sending that invitation letter again.”
“hahahaha, thank you for saying that.”
Ludwig was also sensible, so he didn’t mention that the invitation was actually sent at Emilia’s urging, or that it was actually sent by her.
Even if they said so, Moira would be busy being impressed by Emilia and clinging to her even more.
Sometimes it is right to hide the truth.
“Now that we’ve talked about it, you’d better start by eating. Excuse me for a moment.”
Ludwig secretly summoned Paula, who was standing behind him, and asked him to prepare in the kitchen.
Nodding her head at this, she quietly left the parlor. Emilia, who had been watching this, whispered into his ear cautiously.
“Ludwig, are you okay? This time… … .”
“It will be fine. I don’t intend to prepare too much, because I’ll just have to make my wife’s share anyway.”
Time is time anyway, so if you consider that you will have dinner later, it would be burdensome to eat a large amount right away.
That’s why Ludwig was just trying to serve food to his guests with all his heart, and he didn’t need to prepare much because he wasn’t planning to break his upper leg.

Just in case you have a problem… … .
“But will Emilia really be okay? If I go to prepare the meal, I will have to deal with the wife since I am alone.”
“… … .”
As Emilia’s face turned pale as if she hadn’t thought of that, Ludwig smiled wryly and stroked her hand.
Although Emilia belongs to the axis of difficulty, she is not a bad person.
If he had felt like that, he would have drawn the line early, and he would not have personally invited me to Bayern.
“Hey, I’ll try my best.”
“I see. I’ll try to make it as soon as possible, so please bear with it.”
“Yeah… … !”
Ludwig smiled softly at the sight of his wife clenching her fists and strengthening her resolve in a cute way.
About 30 minutes later, as Paula returned, Ludwig also left the parlor, and after that, only Emilia’s voiceless screams, left alone with Moira, resonated throughout the mansion.
