Empress of Another World

Ninety Six

There were so many people who wanted to talk to me. Currently, I was Sa Bina le Cransia, the most important woman in this kingdom. I was also the person closest to the emperor.

“Hello, your highness. We have met once before on the first night.”

The voluptuous beauty smiled at me challengingly.

I smiled in return and replied, “That’s right. Hello, Princess Ludia.”

Genoan princess Ludia.

She looked like she put a lot of effort into her outfit today. Her dress had a color of a pearl and accentuated her vast breasts and narrow waist. Against her dark skin, her beautiful light blond hair shined brightly.

Even as a woman, I couldn’t stop staring at her breasts. I was sure men felt the same way, but of course, they couldn’t stare openly as she was a royal princess of Genoa.

However, I was the wife of the emperor and a woman. I could enjoy the gorgeous cleavage if I wanted to.

‘Wow! I could probably put a cup in it if I tried.’

Ludia must have assumed I was envious because she straightened, causing her breasts to jiggle.

I really was impressed. They looked great.

She suddenly whispered to me, “Could you give me a brief moment of your time, your highness? I would like to chat with you.”

“Chat? About what, Princess Ludia?”

She looked at me with her light-colored eyes as if she was studying me.

After a brief silence, she said to me something unexpectedly rude, “You really… have an unusual skin color. It’s not like the people from the north with their pale skin. It’s also different from my dark skin color. I guess the Duke of Aeal’s mistress was from somewhere very far away.”

“…!”

People around looked shocked and upset.

I already knew there was a rumor that I was the Duke of Aeal’s bastard daughter, but Ludia was the first person who ever said it out loud in front of me.

This was beyond rude.

I had an urge to throw my Champagne at her face, but I was a rational modern woman. I wouldn’t let this silly girl win.

While I wondered how to respond, Ludia continued confidently, “Isn’t it true? Then the other rumor must be true. I heard you were a traveling gypsy and the Duke’s mistress. The Duke became tired of you and sent you to become the old king’s concubine.”

She smiled innocently at me. She was disgusting.

How could she say something so awful?

Everyone knew the emperor favored me. This meant no one dared to talk openly about these rumors. This woman must have believed her status and her beauty would protect her.

However, I would not let her off that easy.

I smiled and was about to say something when I was interrupted.

A familiar voice said rigidly from behind, “Oh, no.”

Along with a false exclaim, something flew towards Princess Ludia.

Liquid splashed all over her dress.

“Gyaa!”

Princess Ludia screamed, and I looked at my hand in shock. Did I just throw my drink at her without even realizing it?

I didn’t. The golden-colored Champagne in my crystal glass still remained in my hand, and the drink thrown at the princess was red. I wasn’t drinking red wine.
