150 Favorite Things (3)
“me······. Do you plan on making me paint for the rest of my life? Just eat and pour!?”
“yes.”
Joan in the iron cage asked as if crying, and I answered firmly.
Her face immediately went mad.
It was good but strange, and it was mixed with strange but good feelings.
It looked like she was crying with a mixture of confusion and relief, but she had a smile on her face.
“You can’t rot your talent. Note that there is no option for you. Because this is a bee.”
“I know!”
Joan was thrilled.
She scratched the back of the head to hide her embarrassment and rubbed her nose with her sleeve.
My shoulders went up and down to catch my breath.
I was going to seek the advice of Emperor Frederic and Cardinal Boutier on the Joan case, but perhaps both adults would respect my will as lord.
It seemed to end with only a few points of improvement.
“What about Emil?”
“·················ogue.”
“Is he stuck here too? Do you have some rice?”
Joan asked in a trembling voice. Sir Elizabeth frowned.
Neither of us was obligated to say goodbye to the sinner.
As Count So was about to say something, I raised my hand and gently stopped her.
“It’s okay,” he said, moving his lips.
“I eat one or two meals a day. I’ve been told he doesn’t talk much and sleeps a lot.”
“·················ogue.”
“Tomorrow we will go to the zodiac.”
Joan’s eyes fluttered slightly at my words.
Even though Emil had suffered a lot in the past, she seemed worried as an older sister.
It must have been difficult for them to completely separate from each other because they were blood relatives who spent their childhood together.
In any case, family affairs were not something that outsiders could talk about.
She opened her mouth with difficulty.
“······· That guy needs some reflection. I’d love to hang out there. You are well caught.”
“Yes.”
“It was the highest peak among the frogs in the well. If you want to be respected like a prince, you have to act like that. I want to be loved by peeling pumpkin seeds, and I want honor. The married couple wants to go well.”
‘Greed filled my asshole!’ Joan said without hesitation. Kristel nodded loudly.
“It’s a household shame. But I’m no different…”
Joan frowned and looked at me.
Then he frowned as if he had swallowed a very bitter pill.
“Then I will work hard. Until the guilt is paid off.”
“good.”
That was a great answer.
When I was refreshed, she mumbled something that didn’t make sense to me, that I’d rather go to the coal mine than I think I’ve got something wrong.

Our mission ended here. As I was about to move slowly, Joan grabbed me.
“there! the top? What’s going to happen to the top?”
“That will be decided by your Majesty, the owner of Ase City. For the time being, I heard that it is jointly operated by the Ashu Merchants Association.”
“······okay.”
Her momentum had faltered.
I heard that it had been a long time since I gave up the inheritance, but it seemed that the affection for the family was still there.
I had a question and opened my mouth.
“May I ask why you gave up your succession? Art would have been able to continue even after becoming a top-tier stock.”
“I can’t do arithmetic. Just looking at the numbers gives me goosebumps.”
“ah.”
There was such a story. It seemed that all of the abilities were concentrated and invested in the artistic sense.
Hell, I couldn’t even imagine Joan’s courteous hospitality like Emil.
I shook my head and turned away. That was then.
“for a moment! This is really the last time!”
Chunkyung! Joan clings to the grate and shouts.
A sigh was heard as the prince gathered his patience and sighed.
I went back to Joan after whispering to him to go first, hoping that he might even pull out the sword.
In the end, only Sir Elizabeth, Benjamin, and Canael remained three or four steps away, and the rest of the party left the hallway.
I looked down at the painter and asked.
“what happened? Are you short on food?”
“It’s not like that! It is a much more important matter.”
Is there anything more important than food? I tilted my head. She whispered without hesitation.
“I told you. Our family was framed as Sejak.”
“yes.”
It was the story I heard the day I first interviewed Joan.
Although it cannot be proved, it is claimed that her great-grandfather, Baron Ash, was unfairly disqualified.
“Yeah, no evidence. But my grandmother clearly told us that while she was alive.”
“·················ogue.”
“My great-grandfather was a gentleman who couldn’t even tell a little lie, and he said that he wasn’t the type of person to bend even if he broke. He did not admit his guilt until just before he was executed by the Emperor.”
Lemon-colored eyes shone brightly. I lowered my voice at the same time.
“So what’s the point? Are you asking me to wash away the stigma of the family?”
“Where does the Marquis of Blossom, who was taken as a hostage, have the power to do that? I am not a stoner.”
she whispered quickly. I think a strange word has just passed…
“I am warning you. The family that blamed us will still be living happily ever after. Who knows if I’ll still be a spy for the new kingdom?”
“·················ogue.”
“·······The Marquis-sama also beware. That’s it.”
Taang! Joan left the iron bars at once and retreated.
I was stunned and looked at her and bit myself.
Count Soh escorted me straight away.
Finally, what caught my eye were the traces of the portrait of Canael that Joan had cleaned.
Exactly, a thin white signature near the floor.
‘JT AS’.

“I am all nervous. What if it’s a fake?”
Kristel muttered as she lifted up Julitter’s headdress.
‘What should I do, I’m going to cut my throat.’ A horrendous chatter followed.
Instead of asking whose neck I was going to cut off, I calmly said goodbye to those who came to see me off to the portal.
Today was our return to the ecliptic. It was both sad and good.
“Thank you so much, Chantal. I will come again.”
“I’m sorry, Marquis. We were truly moved by the generosity of the Marquis. I look forward to seeing you again.”
Chantal curled her wrinkled eyes.
In Yeongjuseong, she and some servants came out with their luggage.
Beside him was the bishop of the Bishopric of Serenite, whom he met during the tour of the territory.
The archbishop of the southwestern region of the empire never showed up, but Benjamin said he was keeping me in check.
Most of Lister’s high-ranking clerics were at the center of the power struggle, so it wasn’t unusual.
But it was strange to be wary of me and not anyone else.
I have nowhere to go above the Marquis.
“May you be in trouble with the blessings of the Lord.”
“thank you. Bishop, please be careful as you enter.”
After exchanging greetings with the benevolent bishop, I climbed up the portal.
Everyone seemed busy preparing for the final departure.
But the troublemakers were in trouble again!
“Demi, no! I’m not bullying the youngest.”
-dream
“You are the boss. Be more considerate.”
– Put it on!
Demi, who was half-forced in her arms, raised her voice and protested. It seemed like there was some sort of situation.
No, no matter how slow Tite moves on land…
What if the three of you carry a child on your back?
“In my opinion, that’s the best way to travel unless the Marquis is carrying you. The gods are smart.”
Christel said, gently placing Julitter’s treasure on my head. I do.
– Kick!
– Hey!
The center of the ranks was empty, and Vija Leah and Perry complained.
Tite seemed too heavy for the two of us to carry.
I lay on top of the red pandas and watched the harp seal wiggle his eyebrows.
Even after releasing him on the beach of Ashu and waiting for three hours, the little boy was swimming in the same spot and only looking at us.
I looked to see if my family would show up, but there was no news.
In the end, I brought him back in the evening, wrapped in a towel.
“Isn’t it uncomfortable to ride on the hyungs’ backs? it’s okay?”
-cadet!
Tite replied cheerfully.
The guy I’ve been watching for a few days likes to imitate a red panda, often chases after courage, and has a lot of interest in Christel, the same water attribute.
I smiled bitterly and put Demi back into the middle compartment. you have all the plans
“Yeah, he was wrong. I will respect the agreement of the four.”
– Kururu
Demi wept with satisfaction, and then worked hard with the boys to settle down in the middle of the portal.
Prince Sedric, who watched our skit from beginning to end, left a comment.
“To be concerned about your movement.”
I knew it. Just then, Kristel lifted her hand from the top of my head.
The hair ornament, which had been fluttering for a long time, was finally fixed.
The diamonds coming down the middle of my forehead were cold and my mind was flashing.
She straightened her bangs and smiled.
“It is worth the hard work. pretty. You fit in a lot better than you think.”
“thank you.”
I sincerely answered.
My bag is full of motion sickness pills I got from the Marquis Duem, but today I decided to try using the portal without putting it on.
Benjamin and Canael followed me to the portal.
Bravery circled the ceiling and settled on Kristel’s shoulder.
Sir Elizabeth, who gave some instructions to the Guard, joined later.
A considerable number of additional troops were dispatched from the Imperial Capital to Serenite, and she was quite busy until morning.
“By the way, why did Juliet betray His Majesty Romero?”
Kristel whispered as she looked at my hair ornament. I blinked my eyes.
“I was curious about the story of her being called a rare villain, so I searched all over the place, but the only content was that His Majesty and Juliet were lovers, but war broke out due to the betrayal of one side. The reason for the apostasy did not come out. Do you know anything about the Marquis?”
“·················ogue.”
I had nothing to say. This was a topic I was looking for a while ago.
However, as if promised, no one stated why Juliet abandoned Romero.
At the very least, it was not known whether she had deliberately approached the Emperor, or whether she had changed her mind after falling in love.
Since Juliet was a nobleman in the new kingdom, it was understandable that Kristel asked me.
If I were a prince, I would have wondered if I would know information about her.
“I’m fine too.”
– Paaah!
At that moment, red mana spewed out from the tip of the prince’s glove.
I reflexively swallowed dry saliva. Fear of motion sickness crawled up my back.
Kristel patted the back of her hand, which was lined with blood.
The portal magic expression in response to the man’s power began to glow red with metallic light.
“If I had known that, there would have been no severance.”
A sharp, low-pitched tone divided the gap between Kristel and I. I looked at the prince in surprise.
did you hear it all?
– Whoa!
Then there was the sound of the portal operating. Count Sow said, ‘It will be fine.’ and encouraged me.
The last Serenites who turned around were setting their sights.
When I feel like my hair ornament is getting hot,
– Hey!
– Cuddly!
Demi, Leah and Perry broke the ranks and ran to me.
It was still scary to ride the portal without me.
I burst out laughing and caressed your divine beast. The fingertips slowly crumbled.
*
I widened my eyes. The power of the relic was truly sacred.
“······Wow.”
I didn’t feel like my body was being sucked into anything, let alone motion sickness.
It was a mysterious and new fantasy world. The headdress was warm like a roasted sweet potato.
Seeing that those who started together arrived one after another, this was the wide-area portal in the western part of the ecliptic.
The clown soared!
“Sir Sarnez, I really didn’t mind,”
“Prince!”
A familiar voice pierced my ears. I turned my gaze away. That moment,
“Ugh!”
Large dark brown eyes appeared in front of his nose.
I was so cold that I almost hit the butt wheel.
A little princess with curly hair adorned with a fine ribbon was standing there looking at me like an angry poodle.
“Eva?”
“I’m sorry you made the lady wait three hours!”
The child turned his head and poked a piece of paper into my arms full of divine water and walked to the side with a gun.
To be precise, he was taken aback and then grabbed the hem of his dress and bowed down to me.
As a result, he was a well-mannered child. In the meantime, I forgot to shed tea.
But you waited? Did you come all the way here?
“Welcome, my lord.”
Then, a soft voice rang through the portal. It was the rich Haines I had not seen in a long time.
I smiled brightly at both of them.
“Hello, Sir John. How have you been, Herit?”
The boy bowed and hesitantly approached me, so I barely hugged him with one arm.
Eva was now greeting the Prince and Kristel and other friends.
It was delightful to see everyone rejoicing. Sir John looked at the little princess and explained instead.
“Princess Blanquere eagerly awaited His Majesty. The invitation came out a few days ago.”
“An invitation?”
I asked.
At the same time, the card that was barely caught between Leia and Tite fell to the floor.
I read it unconsciously.
‘We invite you from the Castle of Blanquere.

On September 30th, there will be a masquerade hosted by Duke Eva Blanquer.’
