“The Empress has intervened...”
“Yes… after all, I made it the fault of Prince Jamoti II’s son.”
Suddenly a growling sound came out.
I was planning to get half of Duke Gamotti's fortune with this...
“His Majesty the Emperor will be disappointed.”
Because that snake was always intent on enriching the national treasury.
Meanwhile, he secretly wears an innocent face.
“It's not like you didn't expect this, Rose.”
"This is correct."
It is impossible for something like this not to leave a stain on the Empress's family.
She must have broken dozens of teacups by now just because the son of the second prince of the Jamoti family, was punished...
“Once the report is sent to His Majesty, another magnificent play will be performed at the Rose Palace.”
“Yes.
We must keep that son alive.”
I was a little lost, but Cassian already seemed like it was no big deal..
I thought I was the only one who was serious?
“Because you didn't expect much from the beginning.”
“…Stop reading my thoughts, Your Highness.”
“I thought you were showing this to me on purpose?”
Cassian spoke slowly as he wrote the last page of the report.
“Rose doesn't hide her expression from me.”
“…It is not particularly your highness.”
I tried to show some seness rebellion.
“Sales territory is good today.”
And my hateful boss, who knew me well, never lost.
Well, if he loses like that, I think it will give me goosebumps...
“More than that, Rose.”
Kasyan overcame a major problem and dealt a blow to his opponent.
Simply put, Cassian is the author of “The Fair Incident.”
Of course, it did not disappoint my expectations.
If the Empress were such an easy character, the main characters in the original work wouldn't have suffered so much no matter how cunning they were.
“The Duke's money gets scattered over and over again as he tries to fix things here and there.”
He was deceived by Princess Alexis, and he wasted a lot of money trying to solve this problem.
It was refreshing to see that the Duchy of Jamoti's wealth, which had been abundant, was increasingly likely to fluctuate.
So, will the Empress stop breaking teacups?
"Yes."
Anyway, I responded with a little hint of challenge.
“This is really funny.”
“Your Highness looks so happy just looking at his face.”
“Now that you know that, can I be a little upset now?”
My frown showed more than Cassian's immediate answer..
That man.
“I brought you a story that you will really love.”
“…a story I like?”
Cassian's words made me feel nervous at first.
In general, when something like this is said, the alternative is likely to increase, or in other words, the workload often increases like crazy.
“Don't be so on edge, Rose.
Because I'm not really going to fool you this time.”
You are aware that you are a fraud..
Regardless, I didn't want to be arrested for insulting the royal family, so I just gave a silent answer in my mind..
Of course, looking at Cassian's evil smiling face, he seemed to read my thoughts again...
“I'm very sad, and I'm trying to give Rose time off.”
"… Yes?"
Did I just hear something wrong?
“Do you have anything to do on vacation these days?
Is this another way of saying thank you?”
“No, you heard correctly.
In fact, I wanted to give it to you for a long time, but you don’t seem to believe it.”
Cassian spoke without missing any of my expressions that he could read on my face as he spoke.
“The weekend starts tomorrow, does it happen that I don't have to go to work on the weekend and can take Monday off?”
When I asked a very reasonable question, Cassian laughed again..
He put his last signature under the report, closed it, and stood slowly.
“No, really, I'm saying you can take next week off.”
Isn't it a long vacation?
I couldn't go on everyone's summer or winter vacation, and I was happy even with a three-day weekend...
Will he give me 9 days of vacation in total?
She was left speechless by the unprecedented miracle of Cassian's reign.
“I really want to retract my statement.”
"no!"
I screamed in an urgent attempt to save my precious vacation.
If I get a break this time, I don't know when I'll be able to rest like this again.
“But how?”
I was so curious to know the reason for this ridiculously long vacation that my evil mouth was moving as it pleased.
After summoning his servants and asking them to inform each department of what we did today, Cassian sat at my desk and stared at me..
“I thought you'd quit as soon as I said that.”
“Then what do I do if something urgent happens and I have to go to work in the middle of my vacation?”
“I can do that for you.”
"… Yes?"
Cassian stared at the unexpected words.
Over the past year or so, there has never been a time where my vacation and work didn't overlap.
“Does this mean you'll be working on holidays again?”
In fact, he almost always did...
“I'm not on vacation, Rose.”
"… Yes?"
“I would be very happy if my beautiful fiancée expressed interest in spending the holiday together.”
“This is not...”
“It's also unforgiving.”
Cassian smiled, as usual, at the answer that was expected, without any sign of disappointment.
“This is because the time is right.
Thanks to the visit of the Kingdom’s delegation, much of the diplomatic work that had to be done in the first half of the year was almost completed in the first quarter.”
“Right...”
Instead, I had to volunteer to work overtime, going back and forth between Princess Alexis and Cassian..
“Since we have some time until the next review, and the exhibition is going smoothly, I think I can handle it for about a week on my own.”
While he was gently explaining things step by step, I kept my mouth shut and looked at Cassian for a moment..
“Why?”
She asked a question with a nice smile.
“I think you're exaggerating that.”
“That's what I always do with Rose.”
He has a lot of conscience, Cassian said, and carefully smoothed the ends of my hair with his fingertips.
“Don't worry, just rest.
Because you are my precious helper.”
What's really wrong with this man?
Now, more so than when I called him my fiancé and used all kinds of descriptions that I couldn't pronounce..
I can't believe I'm feeling such deep emotions right now..
So I..
“I will not escape easily, Your Highness.”
I spoke to Cassian very kindly.
His hand, which was stroking my hair as if it were a habit, stopped for a moment as I spoke.
His eyes deepened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled.
“Yes, I will try to understand what you mean.”
Is there another meaning to my words?
Of course, my boss could never understand this feeling…
The third day of this precious vacation..
While I was lazing around in my beautiful home, I somehow found myf about an eight-hour carriage ride from the capital.
That too...
“Hmm, did you like the room?”
With Princess Wilhelmina Lopez..
“Oh yes, very much.”
“Of course, I told you how much she was taken care of.”
"Yes?"
"Nothing!
I mean, it's impossible for you not to like our famously beautiful villa!"
I heard everyone saying they paid attention.
I was lost in my memories...
So, maybe it was daytime..
I was happy to have a long-awaited vacation and read all the new novels that I had accumulated but had never opened.
Of course, I didn't care when the sun rose or set.
I might have fallen asleep long after dawn, but since there wasn't anything urgent, I planned to sleep until the afternoon.
The maid, Joan, was loyal, and she knew that I was actually very lazy and happy with alternating days and nights, so she almost never woke me up.
And then, if I didn't wake up for a long time, there were times when the cook would prepare my favorite soup and gently wake me up with its fragrant scent.
But today, after an hour or two of sleep, Joan opened the bedroom door and quickly woke me up.
Because a guest has arrived..
And yes, that guest was…
“How could the Second Prince’s assistant and his fiancée be so lazy!”
It was Princess Wilhelmina.
Now that I think about it, I think I greeted Wilhelmina in the room, not at the door…
“Are you still not fully awake?
I thought you were fine because you woke up and ate well during meal time.”
I stopped thinking that I needed to eat before getting on the wagon while travelling.
Even while I sleep, I still have the difficult memories of nausea.
"Are you very tired?
Did I overdo it when I brought you here?"
While I was organizing my thoughts, Wilhelmina's sullen voice caught my attention.
No, no, no.
Velma must not be disappointed!
Let's go!
To wake up, I raised my hand and slapped my cheek.
Then Velma quickly grabbed my hand.
“What are you doing?”
“Wake up-”
"It's not something to apologize for like that, is it?
Do I look like such a mean person to you?"
“It can't be-”
“I brought you here with the intention of spending time with you because you were busy with Prince Cassian and had a long vacation, but I already broke your heart like this!”
Well, that's not it, princess...
For some reason, it became very difficult to explain to the desperate face that looked like it was about to cry..
