132 Daytime Moon Rising Table (2)
That means.
“Do you mean that Princess Sarnez will accompany you on the journey?”
“I wonder if that would be the case. We’re worried about letting the prince go alone, so I think it’ll be fine if the duke’s family accompanies them on their way to see Sang Sang-ju.”
Cardinal Boutier said quietly.
He seemed to understand the reason why he was ‘concerned’ by sending me alone.
As the assassination attempt of Sir Haynes was only last month, I would have been anxious and worried, no matter how archbishop I was.
I shook my head and watched the dessert trolley brought in by the imperial court servant.
looks delicious.
“Prince, I prepared more praline, which was good last time.”
“thank you.”
The main dishes I almost washed disappeared, and small desserts filled the table.
I made up my mind anew as I looked at the courageous doze on the table.

Once again, Kristel and I overlapped, but I had a bargain with Wren, so I thought I would not avoid getting entangled with the main characters any more.
Hadn’t he already made up his mind on the day he made a deal with the emperor?
If you can’t get out of the main story no matter what, I’ll try to keep the flow going.
I also get information on both sides.
“Are you going to go with the Prince?”
“My son will be busy for a while.”
The emperor answered like a sword. This was a bit surprising.
You’ve just become the Crown Prince, so you’re busy. Of course, where Kristel and I go, the development without him accompany…
It was kind of surprising.
“You look sad.”
“No.”
It was so ridiculous that I got the emperor’s joke as a documentary.
There was a strange aura in the cherry-colored eyes they met. I asked later, biting my lips.
I thought it would be better to change the topic, so I quickly cleaned up my mouth with a car and broke my luck.
“If you two allow it, I would like to attend the ball at the Duke of Blanquere next month.”
“Finally, the prince is going to dance.”
The cardinal was overtly delighted. It was kind of embarrassing for me to say that.
It was the first time since a polo game to ask her permission to go out.
I remembered Eva, who asked with her eyes shining at the crown prince’s ceremonial.
‘Have you decided? Will you be my dance partner?’
And the eyes that became sharp in an instant. ‘How long are you going to think? I hate it!’
“I agree. I’m glad the prince seems to be getting along well with the great nobles of the empire. Are you going to put a face stamp on Princess Blanquere’s social debut?”
“yes. I want to be a dance partner for the princess.”
“It’s unexpected.”
said the master. The beige eyes under the monocle gleamed in a suspicious light.
“Aren’t you Kristel’s dance partner?”
“Am I?”
I was bewildered. When he turned his head, the emperor was also looking at him the same way.
I wondered what this was again.

Of course, Kristel is the youngest I am closest to, so you might think that way, but if anyone looks at it, doesn’t it have a different priority?
“Princess Sarnez will probably mate with the Prince even if she goes.”
“yes?”
“What?”
The two adults fell in love at once.
The expression on their face was so frighteningly the same, I almost heard Sareh in an instant.
I coughed and spoke calmly.
I didn’t think I would be able to talk like this today, but it seemed like it would be good to appeal to the close relationship between the two men.
There’s no law that says that once the engagement announcement is overturned, it can’t be done twice.
“Isn’t Princess Sarnez the first outsider the Prince visited Romero Palace? To introduce the princess, I invited two people to Romero to have a dinner.”
“It was acting. Do you think I could not have noticed the clowns of the blue little ones?”
“No, it’s like that again……”
Why are you suddenly angry with your Majesty?
I was taken aback by the sharp reply, and rubbed the back of the courageous man.
He did not sleep and was satisfied.
Seeing me in trouble, I opened my mouth like a cardinal interceding.
“The Prince has a good imagination, Frederic. Let’s call Laura slowly.”
“Ts. Only my children seem to suffer.”
The two had an unfamiliar conversation and called Laura, the chief of staff.
In any case, since the emperor did not express any objection, it seemed that Eva’s social debut could be closely watched.
I was happily taking a bite of the Gato Basque, when Laura came in, placed a wooden box the size of a demi on the table, and left.
what?
“This is why I invited you to lunch.”
said the emperor sullenly.
I carefully chewed and swallowed the sweet black cherry cake and straightened my posture.
It didn’t seem to end with a story about perseverance and marquis.
I heard that she values efficiency, but I didn’t know she could cover so many topics in one meal.
“The village of Eights where you stayed is the land of the imperial family. It is self-sufficient, so there is hardly any outsiders coming in, and the territory itself is a place with a small population.”
Silence passed. My mouth opened slowly.
Then, it was natural that Grandma Marlene and Grandpa Remy had never seen the lord, nor did they know the name of the lord.
Their lord must have been emperor for a very long time, and the taxes would have been taken straight from the country.
for a moment. There were four gods on the forest road, but there was no attack by the demons, and it seems that it was because there was a barrier surrounding the imperial palace near Inje Boni.
I blinked and the cardinal laughed.
“Since you have taken care of the royal family with all your heart, the residents will be paid an appropriate price.”
“Soon, the village will prosper.”
The emperor added and opened the box. Familiar plants and minerals came into view.

One was the chick fluff herb that Herrit and Eva had found, and the other was the clear pebbles the two children had picked up.

Only this time it was much bigger. It looked like it was just my fist.
“This,”
“Do you know anything?”
A husky voice subsided. I looked at the emperor and answered honestly.
“I saw both of them for the first time in 8. I heard that this is a flower that Herit takes as medicine, and this is ether… It has a confinement nature. It was amazing.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes.”
I answered right away. The emperor and the cardinal exchanged meaningful glances.
It was Master who spoke first.
“First······. This is called ‘sunflower grass’. I heard that it is rare only in the border area, but somehow it seems to be growing in Eights.”
my mind was blown That day, the voice of Lord Haines, who was engulfed in pain, came to mind.
‘Halo grass is not toxic. It only has the side effect of disturbing the ether if it is mixed with the essence of Sunflower grass.’
‘While I was touching the teacup that day, I applied the essence of Haemmouricho.’
I quickly lowered my hands under the table and clenched my fists.
Even though it had already passed, my body remembered the horror and trembled at my fingertips.
The cardinal looked at me and raised his eyebrows.
“John left everything to Frederic’s decision. It’s true that hazelnuts are his son’s medicine, but at the same time, he said that it was a plant that tormented the prince. He said he would not dare to ask for permission to be raised in the Imperial Palace.”
“·················ogue.”
“That’s why Frederic wants to ask the prince’s opinion. Is that okay?”
I was momentarily speechless.
I couldn’t even imagine what he was feeling when he said that.
The cardinal seemed to understand.
“Without the support of the imperial palace if the prince does not want it,”
“No, please help Sir John and Herrit. please.”
It was a matter of not thinking about it or doing anything about it. I frowned lightly and then opened it.
“I have only had side effects from drinking halibut, and that is a thing of the past. And Herrit is a child who, without medicine, will suffer for the rest of his life.”
Even if it was Herit who attacked me, I would have said the same thing.
“It would be expensive and difficult to airlift medicine from the border, but if your Majesty allows it, you can grow many sturdy seedlings in the Imperial Palace greenhouse and garden.”
The gardeners of the Imperial Palace were competent and diligent. I looked at the emperor eagerly.
She looked at me and snorted briefly.
“Because you are like this, a cheeky mercenary doesn’t give me full loyalty.”
“Yes?”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Instead of explaining to me, she pointed to the transparent ore.
“It’s not like saying you don’t know is not a lie, so I’ll tell you. This is called ‘Holy Stone’.”
A tingling shiver ran through his body as if struck by lightning for an instant.
Seeing my reaction, the emperor tilted his head.
“I know.”
“that······. If you say it is a holy stone, you cannot know it. Isn’t that a material that was used as a weapon for the new kingdom in the era of war?”
The holy stone was a mineral that appeared in every history book I had ever heard of.
It was famous for being mined only in the New Kingdom, and the New Kingdom Army cut it to an appropriate size and dropped it like a bomb with the four powers of the Goddess.
Some ores exploded as soon as they hit the ground, killing hundreds of Imperial soldiers, while others freezing the skins of thousands of Imperial soldiers nearby.
The reason the war did not end quickly, even though the Empire’s number was overwhelming, was because the New Kingdom’s counterattack was quite effective.
The emperor answered with a sullen look.
“okay.”
“How could that be to the Empire…….”
I blurted out my words. I couldn’t figure out why this was now discovered in the Emperor’s Land.
The fact that the portal that was said to have been used in the exhibition still remained and moved the main characters and me to a different town felt like a double-track.
Suddenly, my spine felt cold. It was clear that the writer of Toegye Gong did not forget the keyword ‘war’.
“Yeah, I don’t know. Don’t you, who came from a new country, know better that Ju-Jin is mean and capricious?”
“·················ogue.”
“However, it is nice to have new resources in the Empire. Even if I find no use for it.”
Strangely, the words sounded to mean that they would surely enjoy their usefulness someday.
Even though she didn’t apply the Sword Master’s pressure, her palms became wet.
“Cedric tried to set it in flames, but it didn’t last long and broke. Even the wind blown by Taisha (太師) quickly blew away. The only thing it can contain is the pure ether of the priest. Apparently, special tricks are needed to stabilize it with a weapon.”
I swallowed dry saliva. The emperor’s enemy was clearly aimed at me.
The next question was so heavy that it was hard to breathe under pressure.
“Do you know how?”
“······I do not know.”
– Paaah!
At the same time as my answer, the cardinal’s sanctuary dazzled the luncheon.
As if drawing in the air of another world, a gentle stream of air flowed from the circle and tickled our hair.
The cardinal recited the oracle without hesitation.
[Lord, please forgive this child’s lies.]
“·················ogue.”
The sanctuary slowly rotated clockwise without any reaction.
I let out the breath I had been holding back.
I was really nervous for a few seconds, even though I told the truth and I had a gut feeling that the teacher was going to test me.
When it was revealed that I had told the truth, the cardinal disarmed the sanctuary and rose from his seat and approached.
I hurriedly got up.
“I’m sorry, Prince. I had to check once.”
“it’s okay. I understand.”
It was sincere.
Since I am the prince of an enemy country, there was plenty of room for interpretation as knowing the top secret and pretending not to know.
But the cardinal only stroked my cheek with a sad face.
The emperor grunted as he smiled a little at that affection.
“Stop it, Aurelie. I guess I’m the villain.”
“You’re a villain.”
“under.”
She let out a sigh and ruffled her silver hair.
“I didn’t expect to tell my second son, who doesn’t even teach cesarean studies, a military secret. Besides, you must have been checked by Guk-seo all along… It would be strange to know.”
Then he chin on the stone.
“Take this and experiment with it. The Prince, Tassa, and Little Sarnez will also cooperate.”
“If it’s an experiment,”
“It means finding a secret to stabilizing the holy stone. There’s nothing in a hurry, but wouldn’t it be better to know how to do it?”
it was yellow
I couldn’t resist and nodded, but an idea suddenly flashed through my head.
A mineral that cannot withstand special ether, but contains only pure ether.
I hurriedly asked the question.
“Your Majesty, may I cut off a part of this for private use?”
“Privately?”
The cardinal asked in a puzzled voice.
When I gave an answer, feeling a little embarrassed, the emperor laughed out loud.
I endured the eyes of two adults saying, ‘You’re such a weird guy,’ and I succeeded in getting a large stone at the luncheon.
I also begged him not to disclose my plans to anyone.

Only a third of it was used for experimentation, and the rest was entrusted to the craftsmanship…
I think it would be a good gift if done well. uhm.
