086 Phantom of Padtroy (1)
“Then he is a peacock. Not your brother.”
Emperor Frederick said chicly.
I opened my mouth wide. I wish I could, really?
“Did you say that Princess Eva Blanquere is a duke?”
“okay. When the shrine of trees glows, it means that you have chosen someone to serve you. It was then that I gave the little boy the blessing of longevity.”
The emperor explained indifferently and drank his coffee.
The frown on his face, saying ‘It’s hot’, at first glance resembled that of her son.
I grabbed the tongs, took a small piece from my share of the ice bowl and put it into her glass.
Cardinal Bootier smiled at me.
My head was busy putting together the information I had picked up.
‘It is because the Duke of Blanquere has been blessed with divine blessings from generation to generation. Longevity is the hallmark of that family.’
The voice of Marquis François Duheme seemed to be heard right next to him.
It is said that the sacred tree ‘Jingu of Trees’ guarded by the Duke of Blanquere is said to bring good luck to the future head of the household.
Naturally, I guessed that after the eldest child became a small business owner, God gave grace through after-sales service.
However, it seemed that the order could be reversed.
Eva was chosen by one cue at the place where she accidentally touched the gods.
Then, the person responsible for Blanquer’s household had to be Eva.
“Duke Robert Blanquere has shut his brother’s mouth to hide the fact that he has not been chosen. Even after that, I was bullied all the time for fear that the child would come forward with confidence.”
“Looking at the front and back situation, it seems that way. I wouldn’t want to lose my seat. He was also born with strong magical powers, so he would have thought that if the princess remained quiet, she would inherit the title as it is.”
“It’s not surprising given his reputation.”
The cardinal and the emperor answered in turn.
Thinking of the child who had been suffering alone in the past made me angry and raised fevers in both hands.
I gripped the cold glass.
A dark orange-colored golden rhododendron flower adorned the water surface with ice.
Eva’s red curly hair came to mind, and my heart sinks.
“why. Are you willing to make Eva Blanquer duke and play power behind the scenes?”
Then the emperor asked a dreadful question. I raised my face in surprise.
Her cherry-colored eyes were darkened.
“I wonder if I was being too careless with the prince of an enemy country in front of me.”
“No, no. I was just asking because I wanted to help Eva.”
“Frederic, in moderation. You decided to end teasing the prince at the private palace.”
The cardinal gently grabbed her arm and released it.
The emperor snorted and buried his lips in the coffee.
It was then that I realized that it was her own joke.
The goosebumps that had grown on his back slowly subsided.
If I joke around twice, I’ll catch someone…
“Thanks for the reply. I had no intention of going directly to the dead His Majesty. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
I greeted them in a calm tone as much as possible.
The emperor, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, only tapped his chin once.
The cardinal smiled sweetly for her.
Come to think of it, the current situation was as if she had created it.
It was already two days ago that I met Eva, who was 98% insufficient to be called a villain.
The little princess was invited by Sir Elizabeth to the temple that day, and has been staying at the Countess of the Imperial Palace since then.
Until the little duke left the capital, he was under the Count’s protection.
From yesterday, I came to the temple and started cleaning for an hour, but I couldn’t tell the difference between a mop and a towel, so I got help from a servant.
Today, Agnes, a keeper of the Imperial Palace, came to show me a poplar flower and got caught by mistake and was serving as Eva’s teacher.
My head was complicated.
After listening to the girl’s story, Alexandre Guk-seo wrote ＜Wolf! Eve’s Great Adventure> was re-read, but the book was strangely unkind.
Guk-seo described his estate, Evelynn, as ‘our backyard’, and while explaining the shrine of trees, he did not write the story of his hometown at all.
Because it was a fairy tale written for a young son, there were more fantasy elements than facts.
In the episode in which ‘Heroes of Mars’ appeared, an absurd commentary was written that ‘to draw a sword, one must possess a fiery character’.
If you look at Prince Sedric, it doesn’t seem like a very wrong explanation.
In any case, it was difficult to find a clear answer no matter how much the book was engrossed in a mystery such as a god or a divine beast.
In fact, if there was such a thing, all the gods on the continent would have found their owners.
Shinsu wasn’t as hard to see as it is now.
‘majesty. Before we begin, I have a question for you.’
‘Your eyes are serious. I think it will be fun.’
So, as soon as it was time for the cardinal’s class, I turned to her for help.
Even though she is busy preparing for the annual prayer meeting, she is always taking time out, and when she heard Eva’s story, she made a very interesting face.
Following,
‘Neither have I seen the shrine in person. The Blanquer family is very closed. But there are people who know a little bit about the family.’
‘ he said sarcastically. Then he called the servant Natalie,
‘Could you ask Frederic to come over for a moment? Let me tell you that it’s very urgent.’
.
This was how I came to write the emperor of the empire like a Naver intellectual.
Alexandre Gukseo, the day before becoming Duke of Blanquere, escaped in love and was expelled from the family.
According to the emperor, Guk-seo was able to make such a decision because he had never had contact with the shrine until then.
“Because Alexandre was the most responsible of the three of us. If I had received the blessing of longevity, would I have given up on my national marriage?”
As the cardinal asked, he took a cup of hot coffee. The emperor nodded his head slightly.
I was summoned out of nowhere to the cardinal’s office, and even though it wasn’t urgent, he didn’t seem offended at all.
“It is up to you to make a little duke Blanquer a duke.”
she said looking straight at me
I nodded my head and drenched my neck with the cool golden tea.
The deep smell of flowers seemed to pierce my brain.
The eldest was the ‘first’ for the title and property inheritance of the continent.
In other words, if there is a problem with the eldest, or the eldest does not want to inherit, the turn goes to the next child.
The disqualification of Sogaju is usually decided by the parents themselves, but in some cases other siblings objected.
In other words, Eva could at any time inform the Duke and Duchess of Blanquer of her legitimacy.
I’ll have to go and talk to him as soon as class is over.
“I even insulted my son, so it will be easier to bring him down.”
“Yes. If the little princess becomes a duke in the future, will Sedric also benefit a little bit?”
The prince’s mother and godmother were already claiming the shares.
I smiled vaguely and rolled my eyes. Politicians are scary.
“May I ask what you have in your hand?”
So he said nothing.
It was good that the emperor didn’t have to answer, and if he heard the answer, he could solve trivial questions.
“And then I saw this.”
The emperor murmured and handed the golden card to the cardinal.
The eyes under the monocle turned round.
“What is this?”
“Invitation to the opening performance of the opera. Do you have time the day after tomorrow?”
“There could be.”
What I said was a ticket to a concert. The two of them started talking.
I felt it at the Summer Palace, but at this time, the two of them were just like sisters, not great people like emperors or cardinals.
I smiled slightly and looked at the dessert on the table that Natalie had left.
If the emperor leaves, he will have a harsh class again, so he planned to fill his stomach with snacks before that.
“It would be better to light up your face. Because it is sponsored by the imperial family.”
“I didn’t deliver it to Laura’s side early.”
“I was busy talking about it, so I forgot. June is always crazy.”
A plump purple soufflé with grape puree.
A tart tatin with large apple slices stacked under a golden caramel.
Il floatant topped with strawberry and mango slices.
“It’s not an important event if you forget it like that.”
“okay. But it’s too big to pretend not to know.”
big? The biggest thing here is the tart. decided on you
I shook my head and began to gently cut the dessert with a knife.
The sweet and sour scent already stimulated the tip of my nose.
“I can’t help it. Let’s send Cedric.”
“I guess so. There will be no plans for this month other than the prayer meeting.”
“Wait, Frederick. There are two tickets.”
I asked for a full bite-sized apple pie.
The chewy and chewy apples were the first to melt on the tongue.
It was not just baked, but the crunchy texture remained, which was very satisfying.
The pastry on the floor crumbled and filled both balls.
There was a subtle scent mixed with the rich and savory butter flavor, and the bitter caramel flavor neatly decorated the finish.
It was so delicious that the corners of my lips went up. Is this packaged?
“Prince.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“You want it? will you give me?”
“Then that’s fine. thank you.”
I replied with a broad smile. The cardinal said, ‘I’m glad’.
Then, as if in surprise, the emperor raised one eyebrow.
“Good. I told the emperor to come and go, so pay for your meal.”
······Wait. What are you talking about?
*
My eyes turned to food and I got involved with the main male lead. I’m so shy I can’t even speak.
“＜Phantom of Padtroy>, it’s crazy these days!”
Canael said with a look of great excitement.
Her round, golden eyes twinkled like a chandelier.
With a bitter smile, I was served by the people in the dressing room in their robes.
I said that I don’t need makeup and I just need the most comfortable clothes, but I was in trouble because I brought seven ‘comfortable’ robes.
“Prince, I’m eating well, but I’m not gaining weight. The arms remain!”
“sorry.”
I don’t know if this is something to be sorry about, but I apologized first.
The manager clicked his tongue and inserted the clothespin like a sewing machine.
While I stood haphazardly, Benjamin took a pamphlet and came over to me and began to read it.
Three red pandas swung the floor like a robot vacuum cleaner, appealing for interest.
Bravery sat in the chair instead of me.
“＜The Phantom of Padtrois> is the representative repertoire of the Atal Opera Company, which is sponsored by the imperial family. It starts around this time every year. It tells the story of Daphnis, who used to be the Corde Valle of the Padtrois Theater, and grows into a famous ballerino under the guidance of the ghost composer Chloe, who lives in the basement. The story ends when Chloe, captured by Daphnis, is rescued by her old friend Giselle.”
“·················ogue.”
I kept my mouth shut.
I don’t know what ‘Corde Valle’ is, but just listening to the flow gave me a cheap feeling.
this is it No, that’s what the title says.
“Perhaps a ghost composer… Are you wearing a white half-mask?”
“That’s right. Even the prince knows.”
I can’t know.
There is a live performance Blu-ray to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ＜The Phantom of the Opera> that Jung Eun-seo bought at my house.
“Every year, all performances are sold out, so finding a seat on the 4th floor is a win-win. But in the last few days, something big has happened, and it’s even more topical.”
Having said that, Canael carefully lifted Demi and cleared the way.
The servants, who had been struggling to come and go, saw the gods and bowed down.
I couldn’t help but be amazed at the ruthless parody of the author of ‘Toegye-gong’.
I thought there must be a reason for Eunseo’s fun reading, but this is a little…
Isn’t that a lack of sincerity? are you okay?
“Is it a big deal?”
“Every time we rehearsed, a real ghost appeared and ate the souls of the actors.”
“Canael.”
“It’s okay, Benjamin. They said they almost canceled the show!”
Benjamin stopped the boy, and I turned to Benjamin.
It was a place where the emperor and cardinals were likely to sit, but I thought that I would take such a risk and open the curtain.
No, because the imperial family is coming, are you going to force a performance?
“It is a rumor. They said that the zodiac guards went out to search, but the spirit of the beast could not be found. Perhaps it is part of the promotion of the performance.”
The middle-aged man calmly answered. Then yes.
I nodded and fiddled with the paper in my sleeve.
It was a letter from Eva, who heard my story yesterday, to the Duke and Duchess of Blanquere.
He stabbed me to read it first, but it felt strange as if I was just editing the appeal.
There will be an intermission, so I thought it would be a good idea to grab each one and read it.
Does the box seat sit alone? Then you won’t be able to see the prince’s face.
