151 Favorite Things (4)
“It is said that your Majesty gathers those you respect for a banquet.”
Berner Penetian saw it as an opportunity. The corners of Guk-seo’s lips rose slightly.
His attendants also exchanged positive glances with their complexion cleared.
It has been three weeks since King Christaner regained his brilliant reason.
She was shocked to learn that her precious son had been made hostage to the Empire, but not so alarmed that it made her mad again.
The king was still strong.
In addition, he also possessed strong judgment so as not to give up his own national slogan.
Werner’s hometown, the Duke of Sneijder, was one of the two major rulers of the Penetian New Kingdom.
At the time, Duke Sneijder was a tycoon who exerted great influence on social and political circles, and Christaner maintained a friendly relationship with her.
The reason why the king did not, or could not, throw away the bureaucracy was because of his ties with the duke.
That fact always pierced Werner’s heart while instilling boundless confidence.
Like blood gushing out of a punctured heart.
“Bring me a new robe. Shoes and jewelry must all be things you’ve never seen before. If you don’t come out perfect, you’ll be stunned.”
“I will take orders, my lord.”
At Guk-seo’s heavenly command, the servants bowed.
Even those who grew up in noble families with high stature were all the same ‘lower things’ in front of Berner.
Even Prince Jesse, who was recognized as the king’s son, was a blessing to him, and his servants had nothing to do with the harsh treatment he received.
So from the morning when the news of the king’s dinner was announced to the evening, Guk-seo’s residence went back and forth without a breath.
Even the slightest gaps, errors, and loopholes were not tolerated.
Werner was a man who was obsessed with perfection.
“Your Majesty, it is said that the list of people you have reached before has been prepared. Shall I bring it up right away?”
As the hairdresser was trimming Guk-seo’s fine hair, the head of the servant appeared silently and asked.
His tone was very calm.
It sounded quaint, as if they were organizing a list of party or prom attendees.
However, both the general manager and the general secretary knew that the names written there were not light.
This was perhaps the most secret and heaviest piece of paper on the continent.
The chocolate-colored eyes reflected in the angled mirror became sharp.
A benevolent voice flowed from between Guk-seo’s lips.
“Let me see you later. It’s not something we’re going to do on an auspicious day.”
“All right.”
His whims were routine. The head servant followed the order without blinking an eye.
If Guk-seo wanted to harm the prince tomorrow, that would be the case, and if he wanted to kill the prince a year later, he had to do it again.
“Every time I look at it, it is thick and the colors are beautiful. It is the best hair in the new country.”
“Thank you.”
The hairdresser who was pleased with the royal family applied musk to the light purple hair and carefully combed it.
Meanwhile, the attendants came into the room carrying several candidates for renunciation.
They stood only looking at the carpet on the floor to avoid eye contact with their master.
Werner looked at the treasure in the box with an indifferent gaze.
“Today, I will wear the gift that Your Majesty gave me.”
Then he changed his words like turning the palm of his hand. No one was surprised by the sudden name.
The servants bowed their heads and hurriedly disappeared to find the gift.
Werner stroked the wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
The relationship between the couple was exemplary when they were Christaner’s fiancée, and until the time of their newlyweds.
The king spoke to him politely first and was willing to do anything he needed.
They often showed a tendency to draw a line, but considering that they were arranged marriages, it was not strange.

On the contrary, Werner regarded him as a very good sign.
Everything was satisfactory compared to life in the duke’s family, where no one accepted him as he was.
The careful attitude of the king seemed to be a symbol of consideration, and the royal palace honored him as a noble royal family.
It was quite different from when he was the second son of the Sneijder family.
“Sir, one of the bracelets is missing. Perhaps your Majesty in the fireplace…”
“Shh. Then you won’t need a bracelet. Prepare only with what you have.”
“·················ogue.”
My sister had innate authority.
Even before becoming a small duke, he received the trust of his parents and was well-received in the royal capital.
Her mistakes became her charms, and her flaws were praised for her humanity.
Thanks to its unique distribution, it was easy to get colleagues and there were many who were attracted to it wherever they went.
Her younger brother, Werner, was completely obscured by her shadow.
Unlike his older sister, his mistakes were sins and his shortcomings were faults.
Unless you are cool and innocent, even if you put in a hundred efforts, you will only be valued by fifty.
Compliments were rare, and memories that received attention were counted.
So, I liked the seat of the soup stock.
He expected Christaner to give him enough affection and attention.
Although she was a prolific monarch, she was courteous and never criticized or tried to fix him.
Because the time we worked together to become a good parent to Eliser was definitely happy.
‘Michael. It’s Michaela…’
But the realization came unexpectedly.
It was the moment when I saw her smiling brightly alone in the bedroom, whispering the name of an unfamiliar man.
The king’s eyes were trembling as he recalled something.
It was then that Werner felt the pain of cutting his ribs.
It wasn’t love that had touched him in the past.

Only greetings and duties, not even sincerity, were the only connection between him and Christaner.
She didn’t accept herself for who she was, she was simply indifferent to her spouse.
It was terrible. Reality quickly turned into a nightmare.
“majesty. The fare is over.”
Werner woke up from his thoughts.
In the mirror, he had become the most beautiful man in the new country.
Until early spring, such praise was given to the lowly illegitimate children of the royal family.
But now, there was no priest like a thorn in his eyes, nor his filthy blood.
Werner planned to live a life of justified praise again.
He rolled his eyes and took a step.
“Go to the supper.”
“I will move.”
The headmaster responded politely. A long and luxurious procession of Kukseo traversed the royal corridor.
Everyone who passed by turned lowered towards him.
Werner felt the excitement of the early days of marriage after a very long time.
All the treasures he had received as a gift shone from his whole body.
Although Christaner hadn’t found her first in the past three weeks, it wasn’t bad considering today was the beginning.
There was nothing in the way of blocking the relationship between the king and Guk-seo.

One was put away by himself forever, and the other was going to follow his father someday.
“Are the Crown Princess and the 2nd Princesses there in advance?”
“Yeah, I heard that.”
the servant said Elither and Cornelisser were healthy and flawless.
In particular, Berner was very happy that Cornelissa, who was growing up, was no longer affected by the Prince of Heaven.
The closer he got to the dinner table, the lighter his footsteps became.
The knights and attendants guarding the entrance bowed their heads in anticipation of Guk-seo’s coming.
“majesty. How can you take such a long step here…”
“Your Majesty decorates the table with your favorite things. I have been called, so tell me.”
“Yes?”
Embarrassed, the servant lifted his head, realized who the opponent was, and hurriedly bowed his head.
The knights exchanged anxious glances.
“Are you going to make me wait?”
“Oh, no. How dare you…”
The servant muttered his words with a pale white face.
After glancing at the servants with the formal attire of the national dish and the piercing eyes, she clenched her teeth and knocked on the door of the banquet hall.
smart. The sound was cold and short.
“your majesty. King Guk-seo eats it.”
– Click!
And the door opened.
With a dazzling smile, Werner met the gaze of his companion through the crack in the door.
Her golden curly hair gracefully tucked up under the crown was the same as before.
A gun was circling in familiar apricot-colored eyes. Two daughters sat next to her.
Guk-seo set the example with a no-frills demeanor.
“Holy Majesty. We want to have dinner together.”
“Go away.”
Berner’s body stiffened. It was a voice like ice.
It didn’t seem like he would say that to a stranger or a butcher on the street.
The man’s eyes trembled. The king continued.
“I never called you.”
“·················ogue.”
I was out of breath.
“There is a draft.”
It meant closing the door. The king’s attendant immediately carried out his command.
– Profitable…
In front of me, a warm fantasy burned like a spark.
The last thing I saw was a flower that adorned one side of the table.
A very old purple tulip that was barely preserved by covering it with a magic tool glass cover.
A gift from ‘Michael’ to her.

At the same time as the noise of the doorknob, Guk-seo stood up. The servants managed to swallow the saliva.
Now he could grab anyone who caught his eye, raise his hand, throw an object, or use abusive language.
The young servant, standing at the end of the ranks, trembled in fear.
A silence like the eve of a storm swept through the passage.
No one came forward and tried to talk to the superior.
After about ten minutes had passed, Berner spoke.
“I was told that the roster had come out.”
“Yes.”
The headmaster responded immediately.
He had been with Werner for more than thirty years, and he was very familiar with the questions and orders he raised out of context.
There was only one ‘list’ that Gukseo meant.
Information on the three kings that the new kingdom has planted in the empire for tens or hundreds of years.
Lister A document containing the names of the great nobles and commoners.
“I will see you right now.”
“Yes.”
The old man blinked quickly. The procession of Guk-seo turned towards the place again.
Werner slowly opened his fists and turned away.
His bitten lip splintered violently, and blood gushed out of his palms.
The scar caused by blocking Elither’s spear did not heal easily even with the power of the healing priest.
There was a new scar on the spot where the new flesh had just sprouted, but he didn’t care.
Even more painful than being scratched like this was being abandoned by someone you depended on.
Betrayal by someone who was close to you was painful, bitter, and terrifying.
Murder was not just about living.
-Tump, Todd, Todd…
So the prince will do the same.
No, it will kill you several times more painfully.
He must cut off the filthy blood that has made him so disgraceful.

“Next one, two, three! No, it’s going to run in three. Not half of the two!”
Eva’s voice echoed through the spacious hall.
The musicians who were playing the exciting melody stopped the accompaniment.
It has been almost two weeks since we left Serenite and returned to the ecliptic.
The imperial palace began to wear autumn clothes, and everyone was busy eating and living.
I used to play from time to time.
I took a break and sat down at the table.
We were in a state of intense training ahead of the masquerade, Eva’s social debut.
Kristel, who was receiving one-on-one lessons from a little princess from a distance, gave a troubled look.
Then he said, ‘I’m good at singing, but a little bit of dancing…’ and gave a great self-evaluation.
Sir John, who was well acquainted with her singing ability, laughed out loud from the other side. I hurriedly put my index finger to my lips.
“Sir Sarnez doesn’t know.”
“Yes, that is the great thing about Sir Sarnez. It’s surprising that I can’t dance even though I have the physical abilities of a paladin.”
Mint-colored eyes drew arcs mischievously.
Sir John somehow seemed to be getting smarter after becoming the emperor’s man.

Or was he originally like this, but he hid it all this time?
“Have you mastered the imperial dance a lot?”
“Almande memorized everything. It is real.”
He tilted his head suspiciously, so I added scornfully.
Perry rides on Leah, and Demi crawls on top of the ferry to serve as my dance partner every night.
Even Dungshim asked where he was from and fluttered the fabric in front of his face.
It was probably meant to think of that part as a virtual face. To be honest, I was a little scared…
“Two, three, dadan! Well done!”
“What is it? I guess I have that talent.”
Kristel, who succeeded in stepping after eleven times, admired her talent.
Benjamin and Canael were talking seriously.
I held back my laughter and quickly buried my face in the notebook.
After returning from Serenite, I had a lot to organize my mind and heart.
Today was a day to look back on the part that bothered me the most.
Pages were turned upside down without a break.
After half a year, the faded part came into view.
∙ My Goals
Don’t get involved with the main characters, survive until the end of the war and go home healthy!
“·················ogue.”
The first half seems to have to be corrected. I laughed bitterly.
