Your Majesty is Annoying!

ll.
The Duke of Card hurriedly raised his head and was surprised by the brightness of Medea.

The lean body, which was always on a diet to the point of being excessive to catch Lyle’s eyes, had gained weight and looked good.
In addition, the Duke of Card was quite surprised at the strangely colorful appearance, perhaps because the Emperor favored her.
Medea had always been beautiful, but she always seemed to be chased by someone and couldn’t shake off the tense atmosphere that surrounded and coloured her.

“…… I’m glad you look good,”

the Duke said, concealing his surprise.

Sitting on the Empress’s throne, Medea looked down on the Duke of Card with a slight frown.

In the novel, the Duke of Card was a villain who interfered with Seira, the main character.
He suspected Seira, a young knight who had been strangely favored by the Emperor since the death of his daughter, Medea, and eventually even tried to assassinate her when he found out she was a woman.

He failed because Luke, the Duke’s son and second male lead, thwarted his murderous goal.

“It’s been a long time, Duke.”

Medea knew how the Duke had treated Medea through the maids.

The Duke of Card smiled graciously at Medea, who was looking down at him.

“Finally, you’ve captured his Majesty’s heart……congrats, Your Majesty.”

‘Are you being sarcastic?’

Knowing that Medea had been treated coldly by Lyle, Medea could not be simply pleased with the Duke’s words.

“What is it, Duke? The Duke and I are not very close, are we?”

“How could you say such a tragic thing? I can’t believe father and daughter are not close.
The world will speak ill of me if I don’t come and congratulate my Empress even though something so happy has happened.”

“I know there is nothing to celebrate yet…….”

Medea said, not concealing a quiver.
The Duke, who had expected Medea’s excitement, looked at Medea with his sharp curious, and mysterious face hidden.

Medea was a child with great emotional ups and downs and was very happy even if the Emperor paid her a little attention.
It was strange that Lyle wasn’t attentive even though he paid attention to everyone around him.

“Your Majesty loves the Empress so much…… I’m sure something good will happen soon.
Where would the son of the Emperor go as long as the Empress is careful?”

In other words, “If you are not careful now, his love will soon disappear.”

‘Huh.’

She was annoyed, but Medea concealed her feelings.

Medea intended to help Seira in many ways and did not know if she needed a Duke’s help in the process.
She planned to get Luke’s assistance, not the Duke’s, but she didn’t know what would happen in the future and didn’t have to hurt Duke’s feelings for no reason.

“I understand, Duke.
Is that all you have to say?”

The Duke of Card looked at her, surrounded with an air of resplendence without any agitation.

Medea who understood what he meant and usually looked pale or trembled with anger.

Where did this confidence come from? Trust in the Emperor’s heart?

Or…… are you sure you’re pregnant and have nothing to be afraid of?

If Medea really had Lyle’s child, there would be no disadvantages for the Duke of Card.
Even if he and Medea were on bad terms, the origin could not be denied.

“Your Majesty, His Majesty is looking for you,”

the servant who entered the hall carefully conveyed.

The Duke of Card looked at Medea and fixed his face when he saw her face slightly red and embarrassed and not brightening up.

‘What’s that?’
