Chapter 112.1

For some reason, the atmosphere felt unusual, so I only poked my head out and looked at the place where the sound came from.

It was the main entrance of the Grand Duke’s house, where I met the Emperor last time. Just like last time, there was a man standing there with the Emperor. I wondered if he was the Emperor, but he wasn’t.

“I checked the documents you sent, so I’m kicking them out. Or should I bring them back?”

“Haha! The Emperor promised me something the other day, and I told you to bring this woman back!”

It was my father who refuted the man who said he was the Emperor’s representative. My father, who folded his arms leisurely, smiled and looked at him.

“Promise? Well, did you make a promise?”

“Are you saying that Emperor Peha lied to you?”

“It’s a lie. Wasn’t it just a matter of communication? Well, if the Emperor comes in person… well, he can’t come in person.”

My father grabbed his chin and shook his head from side to side.

“He came in person last time, but why didn’t he come in person this time? Come to think of it, didn’t it matter a lot?”

“That’s because the Grand Duke couldn’t properly manage the monsters up north, and then monsters appeared in the north-east, causing a lot of damage and being busy dealing with them!”

“Me? Was I? Is it my fault that the monsters run wild and go to other areas?”

The man’s face, the messenger, flushed red. If it was far, it was far, and if it was close, it was clearly visible to the eye.

“I don’t have the power to move demons.”

“Haha! Now it’s being said that the Grand Duke has the power to move the monsters! You’ll have to behave!”

“If I had the power to move monsters, I would attack from the Imperial Palace and twist the necks of all of you who keep talking nonsense. You don’t even know how the knights here catch the creatures, so what’s wrong?”

At that moment, the air around them changed. My father’s power, who erupted naturally as if he were breathing, made people around him stagger.

There was little power coming from this way, but the rest of them stumbled out of sight.

“Ugh… You’re trying to use force!”

“No way. I just got angry for a second. But if it continues like this, I think I’ll use force.”

Holding an arm next to him and barely standing him, he stared at my father with trembling hands. Then, as if he had thought of something, he straightened his clothes.

“Well, yes. If you see the documents and don’t have her over, tell her this: she’s not the normal kind of person to enter this country.”

At that, Dad smiled and nodded.

“Thank you very much for this. You’re so kind as to give me information about her.”

“Well, that’s…!”

“Is that all you want to say? That she came in illegally? Something like that? You don’t think I haven’t done any research on her?”

Dad shook his head in a funny way.

“His Majesty must be in a hurry. Seeing that he’s so desperate to take her away from me, I’m actually curious as to why he wants to take her so much. I’m just trying to keep Adele by my side… but I guess she has something?”

“So you’re not going to give her up?”

“Even more so now that you’re here. She’s already my wife under the orders of the Emperor. She’s officially listed as the Grand Duchess. It would not be possible if the Emperor himself came to me to take my wife and make me let her go.”

With those words, my dad turned his body.

“Then, knights, please escort the Emperor’s representative. If you’re attacked by a monster on the way and die, it would be the perfect situation for me to be suspected. Well, I don’t care if you die.”

“Yes!”

“Now, wait..! You don’t care if I die? What’s that…!”

“You must’ve heard me talking to myself. Don’t worry. I won’t send the Emperor’s representative back dead.”

Dad, who was smiling, turned around like that and slowly got out of there. The red-faced representative, who turned pale, screamed but no one heard it.

Rather, the more he shouted, the busier the Grand Duke’s knights were to push him.
