057 Frederic Riester (2)
“When is the celebration of the championship?”
“It starts at 7pm the next day. I will prepare the Prince to come to the Imperial Palace by 6 o’clock.”
Morera.
Not even today, the emperor sent the chief of staff to invite him, so there was no reason to refuse.
I was paying attention to the excuses of being sick, and when I tried to bring it to the person who was holding my life and food, only ugly hairs were stuck in it.
Not attending the team meeting once a month, and not attending the annual meeting attended by company representatives were two different things.
I calmly calmed my mind.
I’ll just go eat quietly and go out.
They say they want to congratulate me, but the main character of the place was, of course, the prince.
If I closed my eyes and endured a few embarrassing moments, I would be able to return to the Juliet Palace in no time.
“All right.”
I answered.
Laura Mendy, the chief of staff, had a peaceful face, as if she had heard the right answer.
I almost let her go, but fortunately I forgot to ask the most important question.
“Are they coming again?”
“If they are…”
“These are the people who do clothes and makeup. If they come in the morning, I have to be prepared.”
Benjamin and Ganael nodded their heads as if they had just asked a question.
If the emperor was going to send the two managers and their team in the morning, I too had to prepare my heart.
Also, it was an absolute specification to say that I was going to wash myself or try to braid my short hair.
“They won’t visit. This is a small dinner for only those close to His Majesty, so please come with a comfortable mind and attire.”
Laura said with a slight smile. I nodded my head tremblingly.
At the unexpected invitation of the emperor, sleep and fatigue blew away, and my mind was spinning.
what are you going to wear?
*
“No, really, what are you going to wear?”
Unfortunately, that was a topic I agonized over until the day of the celebration.
Benjamin and Canael, as well as other servants who usually help me, gathered in the drawing room and had an in-depth discussion.

On a large sofa, several finalists were lined up with their shoes, waiting to be selected.
It was two hours before departure.
I would like to wear anything at my heart, but it was not the prince, but the emperor himself, and it seemed impossible to do so.
The dress code of ‘business casual’ sounds simple during a job interview, but when it comes to an executive interview, it was similar to looking again at the definition and types of business casual.
I never dreamed that I would feel the feeling of years ago when I jumped into the job market right after graduation, possessing Ropan again.
“Prince, how about going in purple? I am the Prince of Penetian. I have a feeling that I am the month of the new kingdom.”

One of the attendants, who often brewed my tea, confidently pointed to the purple robes.
Then the other servants groaned in disbelief.
“Pierre, the prince doesn’t like bouncing.”
“That’s right, you’re still beautiful. And it might seem too political.”
At the word ‘political’, Benjamin also shook his head with a worried look on his face.
Then a servant lifted up the golden robe next to him.
It was a familiar face that used to change my bed sheets and curtains.
“How about gold? It’s a calm gold color, so it won’t get much attention.”
Then he carefully placed it on my upper body.
I stood quietly and caught the attention of the attendants. Do you think it’s pretty good?
“Oh, no, this isn’t it.”
“No no.”
The sound of pain poured out.
When he looked at Canael with embarrassment for nothing, the boy had a very troubled expression on his face.
“It goes so well with the prince’s hair and eye color… You look like the main character.”
Wow, that wouldn’t be right. I quickly left
As if waiting, the other servant flashed a black robe.
It looked like it was sparsely decorated with gold and red.
“Isn’t it true that the robes are black? Wherever you go, the basic color is yours, prince. It is the pinnacle of innocence.”
“That’s right, Prince. There will be some nobles who wear them, so it will be easy to bury them.”
The servant who was standing next to him also added a word.
Everyone had a face that didn’t feel any problems with the black robes.
I spoke with a slightly bewildered look on my face.
“Whoever sees this looks like the prince’s taste.”
“ah······.”
It was then that the servants lamented as if they had attained great enlightenment.
Wearing black to a dinner attended by the prince was similar to a wedding guest wearing white.
At least that’s how it seemed to me. Some servants washed their face dry.
Is ‘wearing comfortable clothes’ so difficult and daunting?
The only contact between me and Emperor Frederic was last month at the ‘Spring Ball’ when I saw her at the far foot of the balcony of the Struda Palace.
From the moment I entered the palace, she never personally called me, and she never even sent a brief greeting.
It was the first time the chaplain had come to Juliet Palace, so he said it all.
There are quite a few anecdotes they picked up, but there was no way to know who the emperor was, what he disliked, and what he liked.
Jung Eun-seo’s comments about the emperor, squeezed out of memories from the past two days, are ‘Sister, take me’ and ‘Awesome! Handsome!’
It didn’t help at all.
······ So it is a difficult and daunting task.
To live, you don’t have to hate her, but you don’t have to stand out too much.
Just tell the managers to come.
“Let’s bring white and red again.”
“But Prince, if you wear white, you will look so saintly!”
“Your red robes and blonde hair are like three princes who are destined to become kings by pushing out the crown prince of a certain kingdom.”
Why the hell do you have such a specific storytelling?
-smart
Then, someone knocked on the drawing room door.
I thought it was the servant who went to get a blue robe.
“Come on in.”
“Hello, my prince.”
I heard a woman’s voice that was very familiar, and that I was even happy to hear it.
I turned around in surprise.
“Your pretty face is in half.”
“majesty.”
It was Cardinal Aurelie Butier.
When she appeared, all the attendants shut their mouths, and all at once took a step back and bowed deeply.
It had been almost a month since I had seen the cardinal, but hearing her gentle voice somehow made my heart ache a little.
She approached me with several servants and lightly grabbed my cheek.
Then, he made a squeak and shoved his cheeks against mine.
I was a little startled by the French greetings I had only seen in movies, but it was nice to meet you too.
“Looks like you had a lot of trouble. How is your body?”
“I am okay. How have you been?”
“It was empty without you.”
The beige eyes curled softly.
“Until yesterday, I was busy preparing the official presentation and dinner, so I couldn’t come to meet you. By the way······.”
She looked around me, the attendants, and the costumes scattered all over the sofa in the parlor.
“I think it’s good that you came now.”
I flinched with a smile.
I have to go to the Imperial Palace by 6 o’clock, but since I haven’t been able to choose clothes until 4 o’clock, it must have looked like there was no answer.
“Today, I am the prince’s chaperone, so I must help.”
Saying so, the cardinal made a small gesture to his attendants.
sharp······. Yes?
*
“Are you really okay with these clothes?”
“Because Frederic doesn’t lie. You said ‘comfortable’, so you can wear it comfortably.”
The Cardinal stood in front of the Juliet Palace with a friendly smile.
I was standing in my new boots with cufflinks more flashy than usual, in the pale light-colored plain clothes she had chosen for me instead of her formal dress.

Over the dress was also a cardinal pick necklace, a thin silver cord with amber diamonds.

Only a few ornaments were luxurious, and the attire was relatively plain.
Is this like that, as if it was decorated or not? Am I right?
“Demi, I’m hanging out with my friends here. I’ll just eat dinner and come early.”
– Kiying
As if Shinsou answered, he cried and left my arms.
Then the other red pandas who were running around in the garden rushed up and surrounded Demi.
After waving my hand to the three of them, I joined the cardinal’s carriage.
Benjamin, Canael, and other attendants got on the carriage right behind them.
Soon the wheels began to move slowly.
“Those guys, I brought them back… Shouldn’t it be sent to a better place?”
I asked as I looked out the window as the Demi family moved away.
The two red pandas in the Marquis of Duem lost their place to go when the sacred ‘Martian Wisdom’ that they were guarding looked for their owner.
I didn’t feel comfortable leaving them wandering in the plains, so I ended up bringing them up.
This subjugation made me realize that the divine beast and the demon beast were completely different beings.
The demonic beasts sensed the ether no matter what form the gods took and showed their aggression.
However, when the gods choose their masters or disappear, they seem to lose their calling and wander.
So, he could not even sense the ‘blessing of Changhae’ absorbed by Kristel’s body, and when Hyegum fell into the prince’s hands, he seemed to lose interest in an instant.
He was called ‘the messenger of the gods’, and he was more like a spirit than an animal.
“There are also sicknesses in the northern and eastern parts of the empire. It would be nice to send it to you when you get the chance.”
Said the cardinal as if soothing.
“Elisabeth leaves for a vacation to the northern estates every June, so it would be good if she accompanies her.”
When it comes to summer vacation, I heard something about it at the night market in Lucca.
I escorted the cardinal, thinking I’ll take good care of them until they leave.
By the time she got off the carriage and climbed the steps of the Imperial Palace, she was complaining about the things she had been frustrated with.
“I can not understand. The sanctuary negates all power, so why can’t it stop the hallucinatory mist?”
“Is the Lord fickle?”
“majesty.”
As I retorted, the cardinal smiled aloud and led me to the banquet hall on the first floor.
The royal court servants, dressed more than usual, greeted wherever they went.
From https://noblemtl.com
On the marble floor was a long red carpet from the outside.
The chandelier, which was cleaned and polished, was colorful today.
“Probably because the mist didn’t mean to kill you.”
“What is that…….”
“If that fog had been a poison mist, the sanctuary would have blocked it. Because poison is for ‘killing’. But hallucinations simply cause confusion, and can even bring joy to some. Then there is no reason to stop it. The judgment of the sanctuary is so arbitrary.”
“·················ogue.”
“Even if a great hailstone falls from the sky, it will not block the sanctuary. It’s not meant to kill the priest, it’s just bad weather.”
I slowly walked down the hallway where the sunset was scattered like paint.
It was hard to understand, but I thought I could understand it at the same time.
For example, the day I first met Sadie, even though I was developing the sanctuary, the little dagger was able to pass me by…
Because he was aiming at the decorative string behind me, not me.
A week ago, the shockwave from the prince’s sword hit me as it was, because it wasn’t an intentional ‘attack’.
Well.
“I am confused. It will take some time to get the hang of it.”
“It means that the Lord is capricious.”
she said as if singing. We were just around the last corner.
More than a dozen attendants followed silently.
“Our oracles seem omnipotent, but they cannot directly kill lives.”
“yes.”
This was the basis of one of the foundations in Chapter 1 of ＜Introduction to Protestant Theology>.
A priest cannot order death by borrowing the words of the god.
Because he is a judgment that only depends on the will of the Lord.
“It’s the same with the sanctuary. It protects you from all power, but it’s not up to you to judge it. It is the Lord’s share.”
what’s so tricky
In the world view of ‘Toegye Gong’, wizards and paladins are actually superpowers, but only the priests seemed to have many restrictions.
There are many things you need to know how to do, and there are many things you need to memorize.
There was even a reasonable suspicion that the author killed the ‘sub male actor’ because the setting was too complicated.
“Oh, my little paladin is already here.”
Then the cardinal said in a joyful voice.
Then I took my eyes off her and looked straight ahead.
In front of the huge banquet hall door that reached to the ceiling, the man with the attendant was standing and staring at him.
It was a smooth face that did not feel even a little tired.
It’s also good that you don’t wear black.
