Chapter 55: CH 52.1

“Oh, Ciel?”

Cedric’s red eyes blinking turned to look at me in surprise.

I forgot to greet Paul, and ran to his desk and spoke hastily.

“Your Majesty, that’s not enough. And it’s not anywhere else but Ackeleta!”

“What?”

Cedric tilted his head in dismay.

“Oh, did you hear it outside? Nothing has been decided in detail, and I thought it would be better to reach out to Ackeleta.”

Ciel couldn’t close her mouth at Cedric talking casually.

‘I tried so hard to stop you from being a tyrant…!’

Unlike me, who clearly knew nothing but the power of sword, it was fortunate that Cedric was a person who knew the power of knowledge.

‘I must persuade him at all costs.’

If Cedric invades Ackeleta, he may not be able to avoid the destruction route of the original.

Cedric would not get along with Persephine, and would live from her hatred.

And the original male protagonist, who I had never seen in a lifetime, would wake up to the sorrow of losing his country and cut Deamant’s soldiers.

‘The problem is that I might belong to the objects that the male protagonist will cut into pieces.’

No, never!

After nearly 10 years of suffering from a crazy obsessed Emperor, I couldn’t believe it’s still a terrible ending?

That should never happen…

“Your Majesty, you know how barren the land of Ackeleta is compared to Deamant.”

“Yes, I know…”

“So it’s a land that costs more to manage.”

In the past, the Deamant Empire conquered the kingdom of Ackeleta and made it part of the Empire.

But later the Emperor of the Deamant Empire found that the land of Ackeleta had not much merit.

Ackeleta was not as fertile as the land of the mainland of Deamant, nor was it that there were many other resources.

Unlike the rumors that there are a lot of jewel mines that have not yet been discovered there, it was actually just a small diamond mine.

“That’s why Deamant gave up on Ackeleta.”

Eventually, the Emperor of the time, who judged that it was inefficient to have the Ackeleta, restored its name.

After receiving the tribute, the relationship between the subordinate countries continued, but Ackeleta was allowed to maintain independence.

‘You’re going to absorb the Ackeleta again even in such a situation?’

It’s obviously cumbersome.

‘If I say this much, Cedric will understand.’

But Cedric was staring blankly at me as if he didn’t know what I was talking about.

“Well, that’s true, by the way.”

Looking at me with his clear red eyes, Cedric continued,

“It’s not the land I want, it’s the sea.”

When I heard Cedric’s answer, my mouth opened agape.

“What…?”

⚝

The sun was glowing bright in the sky and the leaves in the sunny wind were refreshing.

The white moon tea was superb, and the refreshments were impeccable.

The teacups and kettle were beautiful enough to capture the eyes of people, and Paul’s service was also the best.

In addition, across from me sits a handsome Emperor who’s slightly crazy but talented and has a sculptural face.

Everything seems perfect…

“Yes, Ciel. How about tea time with a preliminary tyrant?”

If only he hadn’t made fun of me, he’s definitely crazy.

I laid down the cup, glancing at Cedric smiling.

“I really want to escape from here.”

“Oh, my… You don’t think I’m a tyrant, so you’re just saying you don’t like me?” Cedric said with a shock expression on his face.

But I know…

That’s all acting.

“I’m really hurt, Ciel.”

“That’s why I apologized earlier..”

I was ashamed to death when I recalled it.

Though I thought that Cedrick was trying to invade Ackeleta, it was completely over.

“When I heard what you said, I felt like you were going to invade Ackeleta.”

“Well, understand. I thought that’s what you’ll think.”

Cedric nodded and smiled gracefully.

He lifted the cup and put it near his mouth like a picture.

Anyone would think he grew up really well when he’s quiet like that.

‘Really, everything’s fine as long as he’s not obsessive…’

I shook my head and swallowed a sigh.

“But how did you come up with the idea of developing the coast of Ackeleta?”

Turns out Cedric wasn’t trying to invade Ackeleta, but was trying to invest on the southern coast of Ackeleta.

“Well, I guess there’s a limit to trading only by land.” Cedric answered languidly.

‘If I had known this is what he meant about expanding Deamant’s influence…’

Ciel’s face flamed with shame and blamed herself, ‘Why did I only think of conquest as a way to expand the influence of the Empire?’

It was one of the ways to increase trade with other countries.

“Deamant is relatively self-sufficient without trading. Still, rather than being satisfied with the current situation, it’s better to increase the number of ways for the people of the Empire to live as diverse as possible.”

“So you were looking for ways to expand trade.”

“Yes, first we start with the relatively close Ackeleta. If this business is successful, we should increase investment in other places.” Cedric tapped the table with his fingers as he explained.

Seeing him like that, I felt sorry and proud at the same time.
