ISEKAI'D INTO REMARRIED EMPRESS

CHAPTER 16

It was Grand Duke Kaufman who dropped his glass on the floor.He was staring at me with wide eyes as if surprised with what he just saw or heard infront of him.He was staring at me...so that was odd.

Its as if as he...

He...

Oh shit...

Did he actually...?

Shit,shit,shit!

Calm down,calm down!

This man may know what you're thinking but he doesn't have the energy nor intentions to say or do anything with this kind of affairs

I took a deep breathe and I smiled brightly with my lips at Grand Duke Kaufman

He was taken aback and stood up from his seat

'I know you've read my mind and you better keep your mouth shut about this, Grand Duke.I know you don't want to get involved in other countries affairs so it's better if you keep my impure thoughts to yourself.And If you do,maybe we can even work some things out for our countries'

I said those words to him in my thoughts to let him know I'm directing that message to him

I was still smiling at him and he looked at me with an unreadable expression.

He was either confused or surprised

Everyone was looking between me and Grand Duke Kaufman which helped ease the tension from the duel earlier

Someone tisked and a sword being put back into it's case was heard

"We'll end dinner here.Thank you everyone,for coming today "

The imbecile unexpectedly ended the dinner to which made everyone surprised and relieved. Probably cause they were suffocated with the intense atmosphere in the room.

I made for the hall and the guests quickly followed me, leaving behind the bastard and Heinley in the dining room. As soon as the door closed, Princess Soju came up to me and spoke with a frown creased on her face.

"Whew. I couldn't stomach any food with how tense it was in there.I hope we can chat more tomorrow, your majesty "

"As do i,I hope you can make it tomorrow too,Princess Soju"

I bid Princess Soju a farewell and made my way to my chambers as I want to avoid that woman imitating me and that son of a bitch being a petty bitch again

But suddenly...

"Empress"

I stopped on my tracks

What is it now?

It's not like I don't know the truth that it was him that sent those gifts

What's there for us to talk about?

I turned around and faced the prick

"Yes,your majesty?"

"Is it true that you have told people that it was me that sent those gifts to Rashta under your name?"

"Yes,it's true.I am the one that told the ladies"

"But how did you even know that?"

Well I can't say because I knew from the future or else I would look like an oracle.I know magic exists in this world but I have to keep it low.

Well I do have some bones to pick with that secretary. I knew it was his idea to get Verdi on Rashta's side to 'raise' her popularity by getting one of the Empress's lady-in-waiting.
