Purple Tulips (10)
That moment.
“no!”
Eva exclaimed abruptly. Our eyes turned to the peacock.
Unlike Kristel and Sant, who missed the flow of the conversation, the child seemed to have clearly grasped the content.
“I have a lot of work to do, but the prince has to help me. You can’t go.”
The dark brown eyes that got closer shone again and again. I was upset.
I don’t know what the purpose is, but I want to help Eva, but I also wanted to attend the opening ceremony of the orphanage.
The croquet match was naturally suspended. The servants roared.
Sir John, who had suddenly approached me, asked in a soft voice.
“I’m sorry, Little Duke, but is that more important than your cousin’s schedule?”
“That, that…”
The child took a step back and looked into the eyes of the prince. It was a pitiful expression.
I hurriedly looked back at the prince.
His handsome orange eyes flashed with joy.
Hey, thank you for the schedule, but you can’t compete with 16!
“Eva, what’s going on?”
“… it’s not a big deal. Compared to His Majesty the Crown Prince’s noble steps, they are nothing but dust.”
“no. It is equally important to me. Kristel must have thought the same.”
I said looking at Christel. ‘Pop!’ The sound of firewood bouncing in the fireplace was deafening.
Then she began to giggle openly and grow up on Eva.
“sure. I’m curious too. What did our Eva plan on her own? Yes?”
“It’s not great, it’s just…. I have decided to take over the pub.”
The peacock’s voice crawled into Kristel’s arms.
We wondered what this meant.
Sant, who was listening quietly, asked Sir Elizabeth.
“Isn’t it the high-end pub you all went to at dinner? The place where you rescued Modest Bakari…”
“ah. You mean ‘bloa’?”
Count Soh’s gray eyes widened. Our eyes turned to Eva again.
It was a tavern run by a wealthy pub, Baron Jan Tillier.
A self-proclaimed Central Intelligence and Wreck-It King, she was convicted of illegal taxation and assault by Emperor Frederic.
I wondered what the store would be like since the owner went to jail, but Eva bought it? really?
“you’re right. I······. You said you wanted power.”
“Yes.”
It was.
Eva has wanted to rise to a high position since she was a princess, so she coveted the position of a minor duke.
He said he was confident he could do it well. He was so naive that he wondered if he knew what power was.
However, the nobles here inherited titles at a young age and grew up as leaders by experiencing the real economy and politics.
So, Eva had to learn little by little.
He was going to be a duke that was incomparable to a guy like Robert Blanquer.
The Eva I’ve seen so far was a clear and clever girl.
“But last week, my mother did. To wield power alone at will is violence. He said that the power to receive people’s approval is the true power.”
“Five······.”
We marveled at the moment.
“So I thought about how I could get real power.”
“yes.”
“The friends we have today are not enough. We need to grow our power.”
“yes?”
I blinked my eyes. Prince Sedric tilted his head.
“There will be many noble children like me in the Imperial Capital. The family is strange and there is nothing to talk about. I’m still young, but I have a lot of troubles because I’m a small business owner. A hard soul anyway?”
The child said in a confident voice.
Kristel took the word by wiping her red curly hair.
“They want to create a social club with people in a similar situation to Eva. The imperial social circle is the center of power.”
“Well, it’s similar. yes.”
The peacock leaned on her shoulder and murmured.
Sir Elizabeth and the Prince exchanged glances.
“But I don’t like the social world. You can’t go out together with Heri. He can’t even drink and needs to rest early. I still take a nap in the next room.”
“·················ogue.”
Sir John looked at Eva with astonished eyes. The child continued to speak with his fingers crossed.
“Like a prince, you can drink herbal tea, you can stay comfortably even if you are younger than me, and you don’t talk even if you come in and out with commoners……. It’s nice to have a place like that.”
‘But once you leave the Juliet Palace, you are nowhere to be found.’ Eva spoke softly.
Leah, lying at my feet, rubbed her cheek against the peacock’s dress.
I watched it and opened my mouth.
“It’s a great plan.”
“really?”
The girl widened her eyes. A smile formed on his lips.
This kid must have been thinking a lot at the Emperor’s Andrégée trial last week.
Experiencing the cruel history of the count and the stories of the victims,
After that, he took the monarch’s political class at Tulip Sponsorship. Through her mother’s continued education.
He thought about what he could do.
“yes. I also want to be of some help to Eva’s shop. I will help even if I go to an orphanage.”
Thank you for that.
Eva grew up well on her own and was proud that she began to care for the weak.
It was also admirable that they wanted to gather them and hear their stories.
‘Power’ is probably not grandiose.
“It’s gonna be fun. Should I do a new paint job and flooring? After croquet, how about going to the trading post to buy materials?”
Kristel suggested putting a kiss on the child’s head.
‘What is a mat?’ Eva asked innocently. I laughed out loud and turned to the side.
The prince snorted as if he could hear him, Count So nodded his head, and Sant smiled broadly.
Finally, Sir John bowed towards me.

A castle with a very long history.
The boy who was the successor of Count Andrésie bowed his head repeatedly in front of the ‘man’.
In his hand was a bag of medicine the size of a pebble.
“thank you. Thank you very much······.”
“I salute you for your valiant decision. Pray for your soul.”
Yeongju said solemnly. Then the child’s eyes flashed with madness.
As expected, the whole family was not normal.
Growing up with such parents, it was obvious what kind of religious education he received.
But the man had no intention of correcting it. Rather, it was intended to be used thoroughly.
The Duke of Blanquere’s madness wasn’t too bad, but that wasn’t enough.

Operation Yangdong was the basic of the basics.
“I will go.”
“Be careful and go back.”
When the lord greeted him, the valet who was watching took the boy out.
Soon, only a man was left in the spacious drawing room.
He has been very busy lately.
While diligently caring for the estate and carrying out state affairs, all employees who were not close aides took paid leave.
Completely unreliable because it is wiser to consider him a potential traitor.
Also, no matter what the outcome of the ‘conspiracy’ ends, the fewer people around it, the better.
Even if he failed, he was able to minimize the number of victims other than himself, and if he succeeded, it was easy to prevent the spread of words.
“······haha.”
He sat down on the sofa and slept to himself. Everything was as simple as a glass of wine.
He had a reputation as a capable great aristocrat, but he didn’t even know he had talent in this area.
His brain was constantly spinning and arranging, as if he had been born to betrayal, waiting for such an opportunity.
Sejak’s blood, flowing through his veins, churned with impure joy and guilt.
I didn’t drink enough to get drunk, but my fingertips were tingling. The man clenched and opened his fist and looked at the desk.
A blank stationery was waiting for his ink.
‘It was a choice for survival. So I’m not ashamed.’
The auditory hallucinations of the disgusting great-grandmother echoed in my ears. The man clenched his teeth.
If you hold on for a little while, it was a gaggle that would disappear.
It’s definitely less frequent these days, and I don’t even torture my eardrums like I used to.
it was ok
For the honor and prosperity of the family. And to protect the family who will be in the ecliptic…
“Huh, cool look. Whoops!”
This was tolerable. The man jumped up from his seat and walked to the desk.
With the tuning done, he had to report the situation to the one holding his leash.
-Square, square square…
He grabbed a quill and scribbled like crazy.
Considering that the recipient was a national official of a country, it was a very disrespectful treatment.
But there was no hesitation in the man’s hand movements. It wasn’t even running, but I was out of breath.
Beads of sweat dripped down on the paper and wood grain in an orderly fashion.
‘A purple tulip bloomed at Ariane’s feet.
Alas, the Emperor’s Hounds were dark in color.
He spit on the leaves and bit the flowers.
She blamed the innocent cat.
The tenth month, the day of the nineteenth year.’
widely. He put down the pen as if tossing it. He didn’t even have the energy to re-read what he had written.
However, I had a feeling that this would be enough.
Berner Penetian would understand it quickly, but to those who didn’t know anything, these sentences would seem like simple tales.
The man stood up, pondering the date of the last sentence.
Now, pass this on to the Crown Prince of the Imperial Palace…
-smart
“Come in.”
He made up a casual expression and tone, and put the letter into the envelope with a clever gesture.
“master. Archbishop Eunha has arrived at Eugenie Kessie.”
The eighty-year-old faithful servant chief did not say a word even when he saw the sweaty master.
The man smiled and wiped the back of his neck with a handkerchief.
Kessie was a person who played an important role in his plan, and unlike the nosebleeder I met a while ago, he was not fussy.
Up until now, I’ve been working with her, so it should be like that in the future.
The man gently cleared his neck.
“Thank you. See you in ten minutes.”
“Yes. Shall we prepare a carriage to the ecliptic?”
The old man was quick-witted. He recognized the envelope in his hand.
“No, I don’t plan on leaving Yeongju Castle for a while. The family will see you later.”
“All right.”
Without a word, he bowed his head and walked away. The man let out a long breath.
Before the birthday of my dear emperor, I was fortunate to be able to wrap it all up.

A week later, December 15th. It was early in the morning when the whole area seemed blue.
– Hey!
“Ugh, it’s so cold. It’s not a joke.”
Every time he spoke, white breath rose up.
I wrapped three red pandas around my chest and left the Juliet Palace.
Bravery buried her body in the prince’s fur, and Tite looked excited in Kristel’s arms.
I’m glad the kid didn’t get cold, but the problem was me.
“Wow······.”
I’m going to freeze to death, really!
Even though he was wearing the thickest clothes in the palace, it was no use.
His teeth automatically clashed and his shoulders vibrated.
Prince Jesse’s body did not disappoint my expectations.
After the summer, when I had to go to Evelynn for a vacation, I got extremely cold in the middle of winter.
What kind of sensible temperature makes Seoul instantly? Wasn’t it good until last week?
Bring back the ‘mild ecliptic’ setting!
“Prince, are you very cold? It was also hot.”
Christel approached with worried eyes. I instinctively took a step back.
It wasn’t because she didn’t like it, it was because a soft chill flowed from the water attribute paladin.
She narrowed her eyes as she opened her eyes, and approached the column where there was warmth.
Sir John looked at us and smiled lowly.
“·················ogue.”
Why, however, when I turned around, it wasn’t the pillar, it was the prince.
It’s a human hot pack. It even looks like it has just been ripped in good condition!
“It looks like the Southern schedule is on time. By now, Baron Verang will be in early autumn.”
“It’s like summer in the middle of the day, Prince!”
said Benjamin and Canael, who were loading the large wagon.
I nodded my head, wishing that you would.
As the preparations for departure were being completed, Eva, who had only her face wrapped around her body, opened her mouth in dissatisfaction.
He was holding Herrit’s hand.
“After the opening ceremony, you must leave. Yeah? You can’t stay one more day just because it’s fun.”
“Yes, I promise. See you on the 20th.”
I replied slyly.
Eva and we had a great time over the past seven days.
I ordered a picture to hang on the wall of the shop from Joan, and asked Frank the blacksmith of the Imperial Palace to make a sign.
The wallpaper was chosen with Agnes over the weekend, so I just had to go and match the furniture.
“You have to look at the lights too.”
“I almost forgot that.”
I hugged Herrit and added quickly.
“My uncle will buy you something delicious. I’m listening to Sant and Eva noona. Take your medicine and take it. If anything happens, let Aunt Elizabeth know. yes?”
“Your Majesty, this is what I have already said five times.”
“I said it too.”
Sir Johann and Christel have been kind. Herit nodded with a sleepy face.
I checked the child’s ears several times to see if they were worn out and got into the carriage.
It seemed that the kids would go in and sleep better if we went sooner.
