Chapter 175. A sense of heterogeneity. 2

When we first met, I thought I looked sharp when I was expressionless, but……

Now the look on his face was frighteningly different.

Heinley smiled again as if he felt my gaze, but it was different from the smile he showed me in the carriage.

But this is no time to observe Heinley’s face.

After a moment’s relief of my astonishment, I quickly reached out and grabbed Heinley’s arm.

‘Don’t go out.’

Ha In-ri’s arm muscles caught in her hand flinched in surprise.

But he didn’t say anything if he noticed my intention.

It’s hard to hold back, and I have a tight chin.

Wiping his arm with thumbs to mean he did well, I laughed to look natural.

Yeah. This is not for Heinley to step up.

The author is not angry because I’m from a foreign empress, but because Hein-ri was detained in the Eastern Empire while trying to bring me back.

Looking at the atmosphere on the way here, the people of the Western Kingdom still seemed to regard me as the “Empress of the Eastern Empire” rather than the “Queen of the Western Kingdom.”

I’m sure this one.

But in the meantime, Hein-ri takes my side and punishes her, even though she’ll be scolded by angry Hein-ri?

In the long run, it wasn’t good for me at all.

In addition, the author is acting as he thinks he is right even at the expense of Hein-ri’s anger.

Such a man was not the type to press into power.

You have to make me admit it and trust me.

Yes. To get a proper place here, I’ll have to win the recognition of those people.

On my own.

I smiled deliberately and spoke with a soft voice.

“If that’s the way we live here, then we should follow the way we live here.”

Yu-nim hesitated for a while because she thought I would be angry, but she apologized without letting go of her distrustful expression.

“I’m sorry.”

I asked him with a” benevolent yet dignified smile” that I practiced hundreds and thousands of times during my days as Crown Princess.

“Then is another room ready for me to stay?”

Whatever he had in mind, he answered right away.

“There’s a VIP room, so you can stay there.”

I also shook my head right away to follow his logic.

“Did you say you couldn’t use the Queen’s room because you didn’t hold the wedding? But since she made her marriage vows, her status is definitely the queen. You can’t use a guest room with the same reason.”

“!”

Yoo wriggled his eyebrows as if he was embarrassed when I was a soft-spoken person the second time.

I kept staring at him with the same smile on my face.

It’s right to win his trust and kindness, but it shouldn’t seem easy.

In order to keep the line, we had to distinguish between concessionary and non-negotiable lines.

“Uh, uh…”

McKenna stared blankly at the confrontation between me and Yu, and when I looked at him, she spat out a meaningless sound, glancing at Hein-li’s glance and opened her mouth.

“Then, I mean, well, why don’t you share your room? No, I’m not asking you to use one room, but your room downstairs is more……”

But before McKenna could finish talking, she heard footsteps in the hallway.

McKenna stopped talking.

I turned my head to the sound side, and a lady in a blue dress was coming this way.

Surprisingly, when she appeared, Yu-na’s expression was slightly loosened.

On the contrary, McKenna looked troubled.

‘Who is it?’

Doubtful, the lady came close to me and said hello.

“I’m Krista, the Queen of Warton III, Nabi.”

Then he smiled sweetly at me and suggested.

“I was on my way to say hello and listened to the conversation. You seem to be having trouble with your temporary residence, but if you don’t mind, why don’t you stay at the Queen’s Annex?”

It was the best opinion ever.

Heinley frowned, perhaps dissatisfied, but I replied yes.

When she said thank you, she began to go ahead, telling her to follow.

Hein-ri tried to follow me again this time, but I’ll go alone. I shook my hand and followed her.

But inside, I was very embarrassed.

It was because I didn’t think that the Queen would stay with me at the palace.

The late empress of the Eastern Empire deliberately took her aides to the palace of Bubudo when Sovishu and I came to the throne.

If I’m confident, it’ll be difficult for me to settle down in the palace.

Having already studied the succession system of the Western Kingdom, I knew that the Queen of the Western Kingdom’s predecessor would also be at the great mansion of Compshire.

I thought we’d meet someday, but I never thought I’d be staying here.…

It wasn’t just that it was uncomfortable to be together.

Heinley couldn’t get married right away, so she probably took over the palace naturally even after she wasn’t a queen.

The employees in the palace now would be her men she hired when she was queen.

Who else would she follow if she stayed with me?

Of course it’s her.

Whether Christa is a good person or not, I thought it would be more difficult for a good person to make my place here.

‘That’s a big deal.

Worried inwardly, Krista, who was walking side by side, whispered to me,

“Is the rumor true?”

“What rumors?”

“As soon as I broke up, I was rumored to have married you.”

“……right.”

“Oh, my God.”

When I answered honestly, she covered her mouth and laughed.

It was a friendly yet elegant smile.

But as the moment of laughter passed, she became surprisingly quiet, and suddenly she looked gloomy.

He looked very sad.

“Mr. Christa? Are you okay?”

When asked worried, Christa looked at me with a puzzled look.

“What are you talking about?”

“……”

Strangely, she seemed to have no idea what she had done.

“No. No.”

‘Is it because of your deceased husband?’

Instead of telling me that her expression was very dark a little while ago, I smiled silently at her face.

It was then.

A passing court lady greeted Christa naturally, saying, “See you, Your Highness!”

She called Krista Queen in front of me, but she remained calm.

Krista was surprised to correct me instead of guiding me.

“Queen, didn’t you say you shouldn’t call me that anymore?”

But the court lady replied with a bright smile.

“You’ve been playing the role of queen. I heard the new queen is a foreigner and cares about her country so much. Will you do as much for us as you do for the Queen? To us, you are the real queen.”
