Remarried Empress – Chapter 264. A creeping desire for possession. (2)
An official contract is needed to become the emperor's government.
Usually, the emperor himself can write this government contract, but since the issue is an issue, Christa's work has even been referred to a Cabinet meeting.
Surprisingly, Heinrich accepted the proposal to discuss the Christa agenda too easily at the Cabinet meeting.
Maybe it's because he's prepared for it.
In any case, I also participated in this conference, and other nobles and officials also attended variously.
Even Christa. Christa was dressed in neat black as if she had come to a funeral.
Heinrich looked sullen all the time beside me, but when the meeting began, he became so calm that it was hard to read.
The officials spoke in a variety of voices.
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do, but we have to admit that we are going to be the government, and we can't do anything about it, even if there is something between Christa and Henry.
However, as many people witnessed Krista and Heinri together at the reception, most seemed to believe what Christa said.
Although it was strange for the Duke of Zemencia, who could make the loudest voice, to keep silent, the atmosphere flowed similarly to what was expected.
Heinrich attended all the meetings as if it were not his business.
I was more heartbroken at the sight, but I didn't take care of him in public on purpose.
Things have not been sorted out yet, and when I take care of Heinrich, people will think that he and I are not being faithful to each other, but being mean to Christa in front of them.
He acted as if he didn't care because he had told Heinrich earlier.
It's not "not "not caring," but "I acted like I didn't," because he kept sweeping up his hair and looking at my senses.
Anyway, I waited for the atmosphere to rise, like a crouching animal.
It's better to get everyone excited to turn things around for sure.
When the criticism against Heinrich was the highest. I think the timing of the reversal was then.
A few days ago, two of Christa's maidens sent an errand boy to testify.
When I send a signal, the two of them will come out and let us know that Krista wasn't with Henry the night of trouble.
"Your Highness told the Emperor himself to protect him. He left it in his will when he died. But the Emperor insults the man who was his brother-in-law a day after he got married!"
"What an insult? Watch your choice of words, Marquis Ketron!"
"What, then, should I say it's an honor?"
But around the time when I think I should slowly step up.
A foreign language that I couldn't understand was interrupted out of nowhere.
It was Lupt.
In a foreign language out of nowhere, officials who were fighting loudly became quiet at the same time.
Their heads went back to where they heard the sound.
When the people quietly saw him, Grand Capmen slowly walked out to the center.
I looked at him in embarrassment.
Although he used the list he gave to investigate Krista's maidens, he never got help face-to-face with her.
It was unexpected for the great Duke to appear now.
But the surprising thing started here.
"I tried not to meddle in the affairs of other countries, but it was my job, so I got involved."
"What do you mean, it's a big deal? What are you talking about?"
I was nervous for a moment in this part.
Do you think he's trying to get the whole truth out?
However, the truth was even worse in this situation.
People will imagine stimulating the story of "The Potion of Love."
I waited for his words with unknowingly nervousness.
"Your Majesty was with me that night."
"!"
However, what Kapmen brought up was the correct method.
He just sold his name without any other excuse.
"Really? Lord Kafmen, aren't you lying for nothing to impress the Emperor?"
The Marquis Ketron asked coldly, but Prince Kafmen calmly lied.
"I'm sure many of you have seen me and your Majesty go out together. I don't know if you met Krista while I was away for a while."
Grand Duchess Kafmen stopped here for a moment, glanced toward Krista, and then continued.
"Since then, your Majesty has met again and talked to me about trade."
After reading Krista's mind, she seemed to have confirmed that she and Henry were separated.
The fact that Prince Kapmen went out with Henry was already what witnesses said several times. Even the Christians acknowledged this part.
Of course, they later spent time together with Krista and Heinrich, doing something that would be problematic…and that's how it went.
But Prince Kapmen himself came and insisted that he had been with Heinrich.
Krista's face darkened as she watched the situation without a word.
She didn't know the whereabouts of Heinrich since then either, so she seemed to wonder if it was true.
Oh, come to think of it, Grand Duke Kafmen had met Rasta.
If the first person you met was Lastar, then Lord Kafmen wouldn't have run into anyone until then.
Prince Kafmen's whereabouts are hidden, so he put them in like that.
Lasta, who knows that Prince Kafmen was not with Heinrich, is not here.
Anyway, that's good. Since Master Kafmen has caught the wind, I'll ride it, too.
I winked at two of Christa's maidens who were waiting quickly.
Please come out.
The two women-in-law quickly came in.
But it wasn't two. There were three more women following behind.
No way. Did you change your mind?
As the number of people increased more than expected, I felt uneasy.
All five of them were women I called to conciliate, but… there was still a chance that they would choose Christa at the last minute.
The moment I clenched my fist nervously.
"Krista came back earlier in the day."
The women who appeared told me what I had been waiting for.
All right! I screamed inside.
"You didn't look good when you came back to your room. I didn't see anyone who had enjoyed a secret meeting."
"He stayed in the room for about two hours and went out again."
"He's been in the room ever since he came back."
Even the other three maidens! Everyone talked about the day in a hurry.
McKenna smiled and drove a last-minute wedge into the Marquis of Katron.
"At the time of Christa's departure, your Majesty was in a meeting with his secretaries. As I said before."
"…."
The latter quickly looked at Heinrich's face with a wrinkled face, but Henry's expression was vague and difficult to recognize.
He was more like this than defending himself throughout the meeting.
As the meeting room became quiet, eyes naturally turned to Christa.
Krista had a pale face, but she still held her head proudly.
next day
When I was in the office, the deputy came up and told me that Krista had left for Compshire.
I nodded my head indifferently and went on with what I was doing again.
