The Duke of Baloa is always by the emperor’s side.
In other words, she’s always at a standby at Cardan’s beck and call during the day and handled her duties as a prime minister 24 hours a day.
So she was able to put herself naturally at dinner with Cardan and the king of the neighboring country.
King Taraka and his wife, who requested an exclusive meeting with the emperor, looked a little dark as soon as they saw her at the dinner hall.
She boldly stormed into the dinner room door.
“How long has it been, King Taraka?”
She made a fuss and naturally took the right seat at the table.
Memorizing and learning the customer service manual was just as easy as chewing gum.
Thanks to hercomplete understanding of the information in Duke of Baloa’s office, she was not only able to learn the struggle with the recent border issues, but also all the tea types that King Taraka’s six daughters each liked.
All of it.
In addition, when information about King Taraka, who appeared briefly in the original work, was combined, then the king and his wife were right at the palm of her hand.
“The queen and I requested a private conversation with the emperor.”
“Uh-huh!”
When she suddenly shouted, the king pursed his lips in ridicule.
“If I’m not here, who will taste the food of your majesty?”
It’s Plan A to protect her life.
The original duke pretended to be on the side of the emperor only in words, but never showed it in action.
However, as long as she knows that her neck is on the verge of flying away, she should not be complacent with just flattery.
There must be no one with a big liver enough to poison a tyrant, so there was no sure way to show her loyalty as much as to give a suggestion.
“Duke, are you suggesting something?”
King Taraka frowned. It wasn’t that his curiosity wasn’t understood.
The current Duke Baloa is the dog of the emperor, and dogs have to bark in order to survive.
She barked fiercely again.
“Or, are you saying that it is okay for King Taraka to poison the great emperor now?”
King Taraka’s face turned completely white.
“No, that’s not it, I don’t mean that at all.”
At that time, the servant announced the emperor’s arrival, and they all stood up from their seats.
No, to be exact, when King Taraka and his Queen stood up, she was already waiting at the door.
“You’re here, Your Majesty?”
She pushed the servant away and opened the door with her own hands and bent her back deeply.
“Yes.”
Cardan, who answered in a drowsy voice, looked like he had just woken up.
Dark hair curled up and covered his forehead, and the buttons on the uniform were half-buttoned instead of neatly closed to the tip of his chin
Even the sharp corners of his eyes gave off a languid atmosphere.
If it were an ordinary person, it would have looked like someone who’s unemployed, but Cardan rather had a more decadent atmosphere like a bored beast.
Unlike the king, Cardan didn’t seem to be surprised that she attended.
After staring at her for a while, he naturally headed to the top seat.
She made herself walk faster than him and pulled out his chair.
King Taraka and his Queen, who watched the scene, looked a little tired, but she sat in her seat with more confidence than anyone else.
She was trying to make a living, and she’s proud of it.
As soon as the dish came out, she immediately bowed to Kardan.
“Your Majesty, may I serve your food?”
Cardan only stared at her and had no answer for a while.
At first glance, he looked insensitive, but she couldn’t erase the feeling of his persistent gaze at her for some reason.
Did she say something wrong?
As soon as she started feeling a little anxious.
“Really?”
Cardan slowly raised one eyebrow.
She immediately bowed her head, trembling.
“It’s to show my little loyalty to your Majesty.”
“Loyalty.”
A voice that sounds like a smirk at first glance. Her mouth went dry because of the tension.
“Okay. Then please proceed.”
Ignoring her nervousness, Cardan pushed his share of steak to her with a sharp gesture.
As Cardan’s gaze slowly turned to her, she immediately cut the tip of the steak and put it in her mouth.
“Eating poisonous food still makes me feel uncomfortable, but it’s good.”
Huh?
She almost bit her tongue for a moment.
Only then did she vaguely remember.
Cardan was a sword master. He was also quite famous in the war of conquest when he was a prince.
There’s no way that a Sword Master can be poisoned.
He only ends up with an upset stomach, but she’s going to end up in the afterlife.
It was her choice, but she almost missed the fork because she was hit with reality.
She had no choice but to hope that the day would come when her tearful efforts would shine.
She hurriedly put down the fork so that her hand holding the fork would not be seen tremble.
“There’s nothing wrong.”
Cardan nodded his head.
“Okay, you did a great job.”
She pulled the tip of her shaky mouth hard and smiled.
“It’s just an honor to help your Majesty eat comfortably with my little effort.”
Cardan’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
But soon he picked up a fork and knife and said sarcastically,
