Lalisa sat alone in the large carriage and looked out the window.

The celebration of the Nation Establishment would be held in three days, and Lalisa was on her way to the capital early at the call of the Empress.

Lately, the Grand Duchy has been cumbersome due to the demons that have invaded its borders.

Jungkook’s journey to the capital was somewhat delayed, and Lalisa could not go with him.

Lalisa’s eyes gleamed sadly as she stared at the empty seat in front of her.

After such a long time, Lalisa arrived at the Imperial Palace and was led inside by a servant.

When she entered the reception room of the Central Palace, the Empress, who was sitting there beforehand, greeted her with a bright smile.

“Welcome, you must be tired from the long travel.”

“Empress. Don’t worry, I had a comfortable journey.”

Lalisa sat down at the tea table and faced the Empress. Unlike the emperor, who seemed somewhat uncomfortable, the Empress was a person who made others feel at ease.

The Crown Princess, who was also present, was a honest and compassionate person, so Lalisa quickly adapted to the occasion.

“By the way, I am concerned that the Grand Duchess seems to be thinner than the last time I saw her.”

Veronica, the Crown Princess, opened her mouth cautiously. Lalisa tried her best to smile.

“My health hasn’t been good lately. But It’s nothing to worry about.”

“I see. I hope this is not too much for you.”

Veronica smiled softly. She was wearing a loose maternity dress with her dazzling blonde hair hanging to one side.

She was in her fifth month of pregnancy, and her face was bright and full of happy spirit.

“How about you and Veronica join me for evening mass? At present, there are priests staying at the Imperial Palace to pray for pregnant women.”

The Empress spoke softly, and Veronica nodded, clapping her hands.

“Do so! I will ask the priest to bless the Grand Duchess’ health.”

“No, I can’t bother the priests who came for the Crown Princess.”

“Don’t even think about it. You are also a member of our imperial family.”

The Empress smiled benevolently and recommended it again. Eventually, Lalisa nodded and thanked her. The small tea party continued in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
