It was difficult to imagine what kind of state Oscar’s heart would be in the present.You’re probably going through every day with a high level of anxiety.’Besides, that filthy emperor is extremely cold to Oscar.’The emperor was tall. He always pushed Oscar to grow strong. Just like the previous emperor did to him.’Oscar’s glass mentality…. You must keep it.’In fact, in this novel, Oscar was nothing more than a time bomb.And after making the time bomb undetonated, Claire was thinking of passing it on to someone else.’Even if it’s a bomb that doesn’t explode, I don’t need to embrace it, right?’Anyway, the important thing is to mediate between the emperor and the empress.For that….’Now I have to go in and out of Hwangseong.’Since I had already thought of a specific method, it was important to open up.Claire immediately opened the door and went out to find her mother.My mother was visiting the library with the users for repair work. As soon as Claire found her, she ran and said,”Mom, I want to go to that castle!””Is it because you miss the Crown Prince? But Clair, Your Majesty the Crown Prince is very busy. If you disturb him….””It’s not that, I want to see your Majesty the Empress!””Your Majesty the Empress?””Yes, I promised the Empress last time. I will come to play again.””Claire, that’s….”Not long ago, when she visited the Empress, she said so. “See you again, Claire.” do.Ines, who was about to announce that it was polite, nodded.The empress’s checks on the empress were getting serious day by day.So, Ines was reducing her visit to the Imperial Palace as much as possible. It was because of the last duke’s will to remain politically neutral.However, unable to do anything about the child’s pure heart, Ines wrote a letter to the Empress asking for a visit.* * *After a while.’Because the Hwangseong is splendid whenever it comes.’Claire thought as she looked out the carriage window and looked at the garden full of flowering trees.The carriage stopped in front of the Empress Palace, and Claire took her mother’s hand and got off the carriage.’I’m a lot taller now.’Gone are the days of six, when he was much smaller than his peers and looked only four years old.Although he was still smaller than his peers, he was an imposing 8-year-old who had grown to a similar level.’Of course, carrying a bag is a little embarrassing….’There was a pretty cloth bag on Claire’s back. It was a precious bag that Sylane, a maid, embroidered and made by hand.And in that bag….”Baby, don’t run around too much. It shakes.”‘Okay….’ To my shame, a pink baby teddy bear was kept. It was the only way because Ruby could not be left at home.Claire walked quietly without running around so that Ruby would not be shaken.”Unwavering comfort. Very good.”Seeing this, Ines and the royal castle users praised Clair for being gentle and modest.As soon as we entered the Empress’s drawing room, the Empress entered.”I’m glad you came this way. Come on, take a seat. Claire, it’s been a while.”She welcomed them both with a very happy look.”Hello, Your Majesty.”As Claire greeted her bravely, the empress’s smile deepened.It was nice to see the Duchess, who could be of help, to come first in a situation where the confrontation with the Empress was severe.’The battle for power between the queen and the queen is not easy….’In fact, considering the circumstances, the power of the empress had to be superior.Her son, Oscar, was the Crown Prince who was in charge of the empire’s future.However, the nobles, who received money from the queen’s family, began to take sides with the queen one by one, and as the number gradually increased, they became a force that could never be ignored.’Besides, the emperor seems to hate Oscar….’A prince hated by the emperor and whose foreign power is weakening.The aristocrats sensitively sensed the atmosphere.Therefore, as the Empress, the visit of the Duchess is inevitable.In the first place, he was quite fond of Clair because he had previously prevented Lord Lorelian from doing hukou.”Come on, sit down. You said you were coming, so I bought some precious tea leaves.””Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty.””No words between us. Come on, bring it in.”When the Empress beckoned as if to hurry, the maids brought out a car.Rafine looked at the colorful teacup.A rare teacup that is not sold even in the recently opened tea house!It was a studded limited edition teacup made by a pottery craftsman who supplied teacups to Rafine.’I started to deliver to Hwangseong a while ago.’Fees were kept as low as possible. To make the work of the teacup craftsman more enjoyable.In addition, the tea leaves were of the highest quality supplied by the tea house to Hwangseong.’Well, it’s really precious tea leaves.’The Imperial Palace, especially the Empress’s Palace, paid attention and supplied only good products.’It’s very childish to not sell to the empress.’So the premium price was on the rise.The maid started making tea, and the scent of roses soon permeated the room. It was a flavored tea with rose scent added.’under…. the scent is so good the best.’Claire savored the scent and looked around while the Empress talked to her mother. ‘It must be there somewhere.’Haven’t you hung it in the drawing room because it’s still unfinished?Claire seemed to have no choice but to shout when the adults’ conversations had stopped.”By the way. It smells like paint!””yes?”When I spoke innocently, the Empress and Mother looked at Claire with wide open eyes.Then the Empress laughed out loud and said,”Claire has a very sensitive sense of smell. I can’t help but smell the paint. I am learning to draw.””Oh, I heard the story. your majesty.”At Ines’s words, the Empress nodded and explained.”I want to create a new hobby. There was a great painter in Hwangseong, so I started learning. It’s a skill that hasn’t changed yet, though.””Wow! miss you!”When Claire cried out innocently, the Empress smiled cutely and gave an order to the maid.”good. Claire, if you want, I’ll show you. Instead, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Do you understand?””Yes, His Majesty the Empress!”Claire answered with a bright smile.In fact, it was because of the emperor that the Empress began to learn painting.The emperor was very dissatisfied with the empress’s deep obsession with spirit divination, so he suggested creating another productive hobby.’If I put it into words, it would be like this…. In fact, I must have said it in a very cold sarcastic way. Because I am a person who can’t speak well.’Anyway, it was a time when art was considered very valuable, so the Empress began to take an interest in painting.And his interest deepened, and at first he only admired it, but now he has come to draw.When the empress began to learn painting herself, the empress’s aristocrats criticized it.
