* * *Oscar took Clair to the Empress Palace.The Empress was startled to see the two soaked in the rain and ordered the maids to bring towels.Ines gently wiped Claire’s water, and Oscar looked at her with a blank look.It was when the maids who approached were about to wipe Oscar’s wet hair with a towel.”Come here, Oscar.”The Empress spoke to Oscar and reached out to the maid. The maid immediately handed the towel to the empress.Oscar approached awkwardly and stared blankly at the Empress who was wiping her wet hair.The Empress frowned and said.”How the hell did this happen…. I told you not to lose your dignity under any circumstances.”Claire, who listened quietly, thought to herself.’Ugh. Start nagging again.’Claire said.”Mom. I got lost, and Oscar’s brother came to find me. So it rained.”As she mumbled loudly as if speaking to her mother, the Empress closed her mouth and focused on wiping off Oscar’s water.After a while.The two children wrapped themselves in blankets and squatted in front of the fireplace.”Stay like this until the maid comes with a change of clothes.”Because the Empress gave orders to the two children.Claire glanced at the empress and mother talking over there and thought about it.’I’ve got to get things done a little faster.’Then he turned his head and looked at Oscar next to him.Oscar, who blinked slowly while basking in the light, looked like a cute cat.In fact, Claire had thought of Oscar as a time bomb.But the Oscar was not a time bomb.There were only ‘adults’ who made Oscar like that.* * *a few days later.Claire came to Hwangseong while waving her sketchbook.And while the mother and the empress were conversing, they said they would go to meet Oscar and left.”I want to go down that road today.””The road to Seogung is over there, miss.””But I want to go over there. Let’s go for a walk, okay?”Claire asked, and the maid nodded as if she couldn’t help it.The two took a walk in the corridor and admired the beautiful scenery of the garden.Claire apologized to herself.’Pretty maid, I’m sorry.’Orphana, now!A stream of water came from a small fountain right next to it! and started jumping.”Damn!”When the water suddenly rose right in front of her, the maid stepped back and shouted.”Hey, are you okay?”Just then, a knight walking from the opposite side ran and supported the bewildered maid. ‘This is the time.’Claire leaned over and ran to one side, avoiding their gaze.* * *It was when Claire, who was running frantically, turned a corner.puck!Claire shattered after bumping into someone.No, I almost would have been ripped off.”are you okay?”Unless someone caught Claire.Claire blinked and looked intently at the person holding her.He was a young nobleman, very tall and handsome.”You have to be careful. This is the Sun Palace where His Majesty the Emperor resides, so you must not run around.”The man slightly bent his knees, made eye contact with Rafine, and explained kindly.Then he picked up the dropped papers one by one. Claire also picked up the documents accordingly.”thank you. You are a sweet girl.”He said kindly and tilted his head and asked.”But who is the little girl….””I am Claire Aston. I’m here to see His Majesty the Emperor!””Huh, then the Duke of Aston…. But what did you say? Your Majesty?””Yeah!””… Do you have any promises with your Majesty the Emperor?”Claire nodded her head in quick succession at those words.”Hmm…. Then I’ll pick you up. Oh, my name is Peter Grint.”The man who introduced himself led Clair to the emperor’s office without a single doubt.He didn’t seem to have thought that the daughter of the Duke of Aston would lie.’Are you naive or stupid?’Claire glanced at the man. There was no doubt about the straight face.’Oh, I see.’Claire frowned. It was because I thought I had seen this person’s name in the original.’Oh, I remembered!’A person who died while giving advice after the 2nd prince became emperor!He remembered Antonio as the first person to be executed after becoming emperor.’I made Antonio angry by spewing out only the first words.’Upon arriving in front of the office, the man explained the situation to the servant and secretary who were waiting at the door.”… So, your Majesty has an appointment with this little girl?”The secretary looked at the man as if he was joking.The man looked at Claire in bewilderment. It was an attempt to explain.Claire opened her mouth.”Right. When I met your majesty at your palace, I made a promise to your majesty.””Hmm….”When the Empress was mentioned, the secretary narrowed her eyes with a long gaze and told her to wait awhile.Then went inside. It looked like he was trying to see if it was real.’I made a promise.’Claire was proud. Soon, the secretary came out and let Clair in with a confused expression.’Also. The emperor is a person who can’t contain his curiosity, so if I told him I’d come, he would be puzzled and let me in.’If you hadn’t let me in, I might have been lying here.Upon entering, I saw the emperor and his secretary sitting on a large sofa.”… Really. I thought the secretary was joking.”As soon as the emperor saw Claire, he mumbled that. It was a face full of tiredness.”Let everyone go out.””Yes, Your Majesty.”At those words, the secretaries ‘lived.’ went out with a smirk. Everyone looked at Claire like a benefactor.Claire clicked inwardly as she looked at the papers and coffee piled up on the large table.Then he sat on the sofa and looked at the emperor.”Yeah, did you make an appointment with me? When did you make that promise? Did the Duke of Aston tell you to lie?”The emperor was also quick-tempered and curious.To the extent that he asks such questions one after another to the child.Claire said proudly.”When I saw you at the palace of the Empress, Your Majesty said: ‘See you later.’ like this.””What?”The emperor frowned and traced his memory.Then I remembered the words that came out of my mouth.
