When the signing process was over, Claire tapped Oscar’s arm and suggested.”Then, My Majesty, I will show you my room! Come on, okay?””that… Ludge.”Oscar followed Clair without rebellion. The family and attendants stared blankly at the two men as they climbed the stairs.”Do not close the door, Clair….”The Duke of Aston spoke in a dying voice, but neither could hear them.Everyone looked at the Duke of Aston with pitying eyes.In particular, the emperor’s servant who came with Oscar almost cried. It was because, as a father of a daughter, the Duke’s situation did not feel like anything else.* * *”phew….”Upon entering the room, Claire fell off with Oscar as if she had always been, and sighed.”You suffered.”Claire returned with a business-like tone that was markedly different from before.Oscar was stunned.The way he spoke was also the tone, but even Claire’s eyes had changed.Unlike before, Claire’s current eyes looking at herself were really dry.’How can a person change like that.’To be honest, Oscar had doubts until he entered this room.’Does Claire really like me yet?’In that moment, Claire’s eyes gleamed lovingly towards him, so much as to be mistaken for that.”What are you doing? Sit.””… yes.”Oscar sat on the sofa and turned away his strangely bitter heart.”So, how is the Empress’s reaction? Antonio?””It was quiet. You probably won’t be able to openly move right now.””Good for you.”Claire sighed in relief.You proposed to yourself, or was that a proposal? Thinking of Antonio, who asked for marriage like a gangster, made me sweat.Those eyes that contain the will to marry him no matter what…. It really pissed me off.It was fortunate that Antonio did not lose the player. I would have been bothered by it anyway.This was all thanks to Oscar’s acceptance of Claire’s proposal without any hesitation.Claire said with a grateful heart.”Thank you very much. I will become the best Crown Princess so Your Majesty will not regret it.”Claire said with a smile, but Oscar couldn’t keep up.Claire’s eyes were similar to that of a knight who swore allegiance to bring the enemy’s head back just before going to battle.I wasn’t expecting anything, but the bitterness kept creeping in.”It’s not going to be that miserable. I’m really trying good….”Is it correct to say, ‘Are you going to be a good husband?’ Something was strange, Oscar frowned.Claire waved her hands as if she had done it.”Then I’ll see you next time at Hwangseong, shall we?”After the engagement ceremony, Claire is busy as the future Crown Princess. The official wedding will take place in a few months.”Yeah, I guess.””I should have done well in front of the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress….”Claire murmured. You’re probably talking about ‘acting’. Oscar thought so and said.”Are you good?””What?””… It’s the acting that I fell in love with. No one seemed to be suspicious.”The corners of Claire’s lips rose as she received the compliment.”It’s about that kind of acting. Well, it’s nothing.”To be honest, the opponent was Oscar, so it was very easy. It would have never been possible if it had been any other man.At Claire’s spooky reaction, Oscar became bitter again.* * *Oscar returned to the Imperial Castle, and Claire lay in bed to sleep.But as soon as I lay on the bed, I started feeling nauseous. I wanted to pretend, but I didn’t feel that way.It feels like my stomach is turning over with a strange headache….”Just make sure it’s not urgent news….”It was clear that Orphana was calling Clair.When Claire cut off her magical power, Orphana called her in this way.Originally, it was just a headache, but after finding the relic, the reaction became quite intense.When the curtain made with magical power was lifted off, Orphana appeared.”What.””Master, what will happen to us if you marry the Crown Prince?”Claire’s forehead was wrinkled. It was obvious that he had called me to say something useless, not urgent news.”What should I do if I encounter a dark spirit? I do not want to go to the Imperial Palace!””I have to sleep, so be quiet.””but…!?Orphana continued to whimper. I was going to ask Ruby what to do with her, but Ruby was already sleeping on the floor.Claire comforted Orphana from sobbing by covering the pink teddy bear with a blanket.”Orpana. How about waking up and thinking about it? I am tired.””Ugh.””You won’t have many encounters with dark spirits.””lie! When your master becomes the Crown Prince, you won’t be sleeping in the same bed with the Crown Prince every night! Then I run into the spirits of darkness every day!”Huh…?Claire blinked. It felt like I was suddenly out of sleep.’No, I see….’I didn’t even think about it because I was concerned about other things. In fact, in the eyes of others, the Crown Princess and the couple were newlyweds themselves. Of course, you will be sharing one bedroom.”This is a big deal.”Claire swallowed her saliva. My heart started beating like crazy.The thought of lying in bed with Oscar made my blood circulate quickly. You fall asleep looking at that face every day before going to bed, and you see that face when you open your eyes?Just imagining it was ecstatic, but it was harmful to the heart. If you do this, even if you have a bad heart….”It’s my master!”Orphana continued to frown, but Claire couldn’t hear it.My eyes were puffy as if I was tired, and I couldn’t sleep.* * *From that day on, Claire remained dazed throughout the process of setting the engagement date and fitting the dress.Time passed like a river, and he and his family rode a carriage to the Imperial Palace on the engagement day.Even during the engagement ceremony, he was half insane.”Now, the two of you make an oath of engagement in front of many people.”At the priest’s words, Claire barely came to her senses. The emperor couple with bright smiles caught my eye.When I turned my head, I saw Oscar in a robe…. Oscar with her hair neatly brushed her face shone more today.’So you’re going to see this face every morning from now on?’gulp.While swallowing saliva, Oscar first took out the ring and put it on Claire’s finger.As Claire stood still, Oscar clasped her hand and urged her.’Oh.’Claire took out the ring and put it on his finger, as Oscar did.When the last ceremony was over, people started to claps and smiles brightly. Of course, there were also smiling faces.Antonio was staring at the two of them with openly expressionless eyes. Viscount Tedler also had an astringent face.Some people cried unusually…. Standing on one side, Duke Aston wiped his tears with a handkerchief. Cybill was crying too.Claire relaxed as she felt a bit of realism now.’Let’s not forget our duty.’It wasn’t the time to be distracted by Oscar’s face.’Actually, the really important thing is now.’According to the flow of the original story, the empress was due to die sooner or later.From today on, Claire will be staying in the Imperial Castle to keep the Empress closer.Of course, this imperial castle also has enemies.’You have to go into the tiger’s den to catch a tiger.’When Claire changed her wedding gown and came out, she looked at Empress Maleah with a pretentious smile in the distance.Newly acquainted aristocrats had gathered near the empress.Viscount Tedler, standing not far away, looked at the empress with displeasure.’It seems that the relationship is irreversible.’Upon closer inspection, Viscount Tedler was looking at Antonio to be exact.The war of nerves between the Viscount and the Empress over Antonio seemed to be enormous.’By the way, why can’t he manage his facial expressions like that?’Antonio had a grumpy expression on his face the whole time. For a moment, Clair made eye contact with Antonio. Still, when he saw the life in his eyes, he quickly averted his eyes.”Claire!”Fortunately, Cybill came to her.Cybill looked at Claire with red eyes and hugged her tightly.”Cybill, give up now….”Elliot, standing next to him, tried to calm Cybill.”Claire tried to live with me like a daughter even after I got married….”Cybill muttered in a weeping voice.sister… Where in the world is a daughter with a 4 year difference….Claire thought to herself like that, but with a small smile, she hugged Cybill and wiped her back.How much Cybill loved her, her heart was filled with new emotions.”If anyone bothers you, tell me anytime, Rafine. yes?””Okay, sister.”Elliot disappeared with Cybill, who started to sneeze again.Claire looked around and began to find where Oscar was. From a distance, Oscar was seen talking with the nobles, the servants of the imperial family.When their eyes met, the two walked towards each other.That moment.Suddenly, someone came in between them and blocked their view.”Hello, My Majesty the Crown Prince.”‘That person….’Claire stopped walking and frowned suddenly.’Isn’t that the saint who came from the monastery with the empress?’
