The Evil Empress Adores Me-Chapter 83

<To His Highness the Crown Prince.

Are you in good health?

I've been studying hard lately.

I'm learning literature, lady etiquette, musical instruments, and ballroom dancing.

Sometimes, Her Majesty the Crown Princess and Her Majesty the Empress also teach me directly whenever they have time.

Isn't it great?

However, I wonder where I can use all this learning.

If someone saw me, they'd think I was a lady who was about to debut in high society.

In reality, I'd never set foot in a banquet hall in my life.

Well, I guess I'll learn something after all.

As the weather gets colder, I keep thinking of Your Highness.

It must be much colder in the north than here, right?

No matter what, you have to take care of your health first. Okay?

Then, have a nice day.

With affection, Charlize.>

<Dear Charlize.

You've been studying hard lately?

That's good.

But you, even though you study hard, don't you pay attention to handwriting practice?

A letter that needs to be deciphered like a cipher to be read? Isn't that a bit too much?

As you said, the weather here is pretty cold.

But everyone is kind to me, so I don't think you have much to worry about.

Now that I've come down here, I can see how difficult the situation has been in the North.

But Count Antes is holding it together admirably.

Oh, by the way, I met a girl my age today.

She's Siena Antes, and she's the Count's only daughter.

She's said to be very good with a bow.

She's said to have already fought several wild animals.

Isn't that great?

Oh, by the way, tomorrow is my first time going to the Kier Plains.

I'm a little nervous, but I believe I can do well.

Then, take care until we meet again.

I'll send you another letter.

Diamide.>

<To His Highness the Crown Prince.

Oh my, how did your expedition to the Kier Plains go?

You weren't hurt or anything, were you?

I believe you haven't forgotten your promise to return unharmed.

And... ...I'm so glad that Countess Antes is here.

I heard that Countess Antes is very beautiful and intelligent.

And she's also good at martial arts, so I feel a little relieved.

Since you two are about the same age, I think it'll be good if you get along well.

Do you know? Maybe you two will get married?

If you two get married, Your Highness will have a family.

Oh, by the way, speaking of family, I just thought of something.

Meow from the Imperial Household Agency... ... Oh, Meow, that's a name I just gave myself!

Anyway, Meow gave birth to kittens.

There are three kittens in total, but to me, the yellow cat that looks just like Meow is the cutest.

I'm glad Meow has a family. Isn't that right?

But I don't think I've ever seen my dad cat. Where is he?

Oh, it's already this late.

I think I should go to bed.

Have sweet dreams, Your Majesty.

With affection, Charlize.

P.S.

People can be bad at writing!

Isn't it too much to say, "It's a code or something?"

Are you giving me a compliment because Your Majesty's handwriting is good?

Just wait and see, I'll meet a man who writes even better than Your Majesty!>

<Dear Charlize.

Charles, how are you?

It's been a while since I returned from the Kier Plains, so my reply is a bit late.

I saw the demons for the first time this time, and they are basically very large and dangerous.

As for their appearance... ... I don't know how to describe them.

They just look random.

Like they have six legs, or their eyes are on the back of their heads... ... .

I know my explanation might confuse you more, but it's true.

But I'm glad I'm being of some help here.

By the way, why do you care so much about Countess Antes?

I don't like how a third of your letters are about Countess Antes.

I think you're the only girl I'm doing well with.

Instead of talking about Countess Antes, why don't you show me a little more interest?

Or tell me more about how you're doing.

Cats are cute, of course, but I want to hear more about you.

Please pay more attention °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° to that part from now on.

Oh, and.

Aren't you sending me too few letters?

From now on, I'd like you to write at least three letters a week.

To be honest, even if you say three letters, you're only writing one letter every two or three days, right?

Since you seem so busy, I'll let you off easy.

Then I have to go out tomorrow, so I'll cut my letters short.

Good night. Have happy dreams.

Diamide.

P.S.

You're going to meet a man who writes better than me?

Well, that won't be easy to find, right?

Because I'm going to keep practicing my handwriting.>

Time passed like flowing water.

After countless seasons, winter, with its white breath, had returned.

But the air around me was warm.

Because today, the Empress and Her Majesty the Empress Dowager were having tea time in the greenhouse.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

“Thank you for inviting me here.”

“No problem. I’ve been stuck in the Empress’s palace all this time, so I’ve been feeling stuffy.”

The Empress responded to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager’s greeting with a bright smile.

I quietly served tea to the two of them.

Then.

I slowly raised my head.

The lilacs in full bloom caught my eye.

Somehow, when I looked at the lilacs... ... .

‘Diamide comes to mind.’

That night when I last saw Diamide.

Diamide smiled with tears in his eyes as he looked at the lilacs clumsily embroidered on his handkerchief.

‘I’ll definitely come back, if only to see you again.’

... ... That’s right, I promised that.

But that promise was meaningless, I still haven’t met Diamid.

“Come to think of it, it’s already been eight years since Diamid left.”

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly at Her Majesty the Empress Dowager’s sentimental words.

‘Wow, it’s already been eight years?’

What does Diamid look like now?

Has she grown a lot?

Come to think of it, she was taller than me right before she left.

If we meet again, I might really be able to look up at Diamid.

At that moment when I was lost in thought,

The Empress’s calm voice brought me back to reality.

“That’s right, time really flies.”

The Empress’s eyes, glancing back at me, were as affectionate as ever.

“Our Charles has already grown this much. So, the Crown Prince must have grown even more.”

“That’s right. When will I be able to see the diamide... ... .”

Her Majesty the Empress Dowager sighed deeply and motioned to me.

“Charles, you don’t have to stand there. You come and sit here too.”

“No, I’m fine.”

“Oh, are you refusing the Empress Dowager’s order?”

With her playful words, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager smiled.

But... ... I think that’s not polite.

I glanced at the Empress.

But the Empress simply smiled and nodded.

“Yes, come and sit here.”

She even offered me a seat.

In the end, I gathered my skirt and sat down.

In fact, this isn’t the first time I’ve had tea with both of their Majesties... ... .

‘I’m still a little nervous, after all.’

Even the Empress naturally pushed a basket full of scones in front of me.

“Would you like some claude cream? Which jam would you like, apricot or orange marmalade?”

“Oh, thank you. I don’t care either way.”

At that moment, a hand suddenly popped out and poured black tea into my teacup.

Her Majesty the Empress.

“You might get a sore throat, so drink some tea while you eat.”

“Go, thank you.”

... ... Um, this is a bit much.

I didn’t know what to do with the delighted gazes directed at me.

Both of their Majesties had the expression of a mother watching her child eat.

And the Empress went even further.

“Are you running out of snacks? Should I ask for more cake?”“No, this is enough!”

I shook my head urgently.

Of course I’m happy that you two love me, but... ... .

‘Somehow, when I’m with you two, it becomes a situation where your Majesties take care of me.’

Really, I don’t know if this is okay.

Feeling embarrassed, I layered cream and jam on top of the scone.

At the same time, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager playfully spoke to me.

“Our Charles somehow becomes prettier as he grows up.”

“No, that’s too much praise.”

“That’s too much praise. I thought he was a remarkably cute child even when he was young, but he’s gotten even more so as time goes by.”

Her Majesty the Empress Dowager said that, and then she subtly bowed her head toward me.

“I heard that you’re incredibly popular with your servants and knights?”

Ahaha... ... .

I could only laugh awkwardly.

What should I say in this situation?

Fortunately, the Empress answered for me.

“Well, I don’t plan on sending Charles to someone I don’t like.”

The Empress’s eyes, as she spoke, suddenly became filled with life.

Her Majesty the Empress stiffened her shoulders in surprise.

“I, I see.”

“Yes, who is the maid?”

The Empress nodded with a determined face.

“What if a wolf-like man takes Charles away?”

... ... That doesn’t seem like something the person who took me away when I was five should say.
