CHAPTER 39

In a pavilion, Gabby was seen enjoying tea with Lili this time, and a woman joined them. She was Emperor Blaise's second concubine, Concubine Luna.

"Finally, I can meet you, Her Majesty Queen Gabby," said Concubine Luna as she took a sip of tea.

"I didn't expect Her Majesty was so young." continued Concubine Luna shyly.

Gabby smiled. "You look young too. Maybe we are the same age," said Gabby, smiling faintly.

In between their conversation, an Imperial Eunuch came to them.

The eunuch drew closer to Lili. "Your Majesty the Empress, I am ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to convey the message that an Imperial meeting will be held."

"The Emperor also expects the presence of Her Majesty the Queenby Kingdom." said the eunuch.

Lili looked confused as to why the Emperor had such a sudden meeting. "Okay," said Lily. The eunuch bowed his head respectfully and left them.

Lili turned to Concubine Luna. "Concubine Luna, Return to your Pavilion." Lili decreed that an empress could rule over Concubines in the Imperial Harem.

"Very well, Your Majesty." Concubine Luna stood up and gave a noble salute. "I bid farewell to Her Majesty Queen Gabby," said Concubine Luna in return with a smile Gabby.

After Concubine Luna left, Gabby and Lili were left alone. "What is it?" Gabby asked Lili.

"I also don't know, Your Majesty, if the Emperor holds a sudden Imperial meeting like this, it's usually related to the Empire and other Kingdoms," Lily explained.

"Okay," Gabby nodded her head. "Ah, let's wait for Baba and Scarla for a while. They had some business." Gabby said.

"Very well, Your Majesty," replied Lily.

Not long after, Baba and Scarla faced them. Lili, who had seen their presence, immediately invited Gabby to attend the Imperial meeting.

"Come on, Your Majesty." Lili stood up and extended a hand and was greeted by Gabby

As they walked towards the meeting, they met a group of Concubine Yona and her ladies-in-waiting walking in a hurry.

Concubine Yona stopped before them, but Concubine Yona and her ladies-in-waiting did not salute. "Concubine Yona, where are you going?" Lili asked Concubine Yona. But Concubine Yona did not reply. She and her ladies-in-waiting instead looked at Baba with adoring eyes.

"Concubine Yona," called Lili raising her voice.

Yona's concubine and her lady-in-waiting gasped. "I will attend the Imperial meeting," replied Concubine Yona nonchalantly.

Concubine Yona's indifferent attitude made Lili furious. "You are the Empress of the Empire?" asked Lili sarcastically to Concubine Yona.

Concubine Yona was silent for a moment, and she glanced at Queen Gabby and her subordinates. Concubine Yona tightened her hands on her dress, feeling furious with Lili.

"N-not like that, Your Majesty the empress," said Concubine Yona, now giving a noble greeting. "I am very Worried because the Emperor is holding an impromptu meeting," said Concubine Yona hiding her anger in front of Gabby.

Lili glanced at Gabby briefly. She saw that Gabby's smile never faded, even though he still wanted to show his smile to the snake.

"Go back to your Pavilion," Lily said firmly.

Concubine Yona was furious at being ordered by Lili. "My apologies Empress, I was invited by the Emperor to attend this meeting," said Concubine Yona in a friendly manner.

Lili, who heard Concubine Yona's words with a friendly attitude, made her squeak.

"Very well, if the Emperor asks you. We'd better get going before it's too late," said Lily.

"Come on, Your Majesty," said Lili leading Gabby to the meeting room. Concubine Yona, who saw them leave her, clenched her jaw.

'Damn bitch', Concubine Yona cursed uncontrollably.

---

The meeting room was already crowded with the Azruth Empire's high nobles. Emperor Blaise had to postpone the Tournament until tomorrow.

Emperor Blaise had already sat on his throne, and the Emperor had also prepared the table for King Alejandro and the Crown Prince of the Onyx Kingdom.

When the Room door opened, they turned and stared at the Imperial Empress, who looked very charming accompanying Queen Gabby. Not long after, Concubine Yona entered the room.

Their gazes couldn't be separated from Gabby, the figure of the Queen, who had just built a kingdom. With the plain white clothes he wore, black hair that hung down to her hips, decorated with a sky blue crown. The innocent cute face adds to the impression of the angel's purity, who has just descended from Heaven.

They also couldn't take their eyes off Baba and Scarla, who had the charisma of a king and queen.

Concubine Yona, who felt neglected, cursed in her heart. Usually, she was the one who would get attention because of her beauty.

"Your Excellency," called Consort Yona seeing the Emperor not taking his eyes off Empress Lili.

The Emperor turned to Concubine Yona. "Ah, you have come, Sit beside my left," said Emperor Blaise.

Concubine Yona furrowed her brows. Usually, she sat to the right of the Emperor. Concubine Yona clenched her fists tightly, and she felt furious toward Empress Lili.

Empress Lili, who has a friend who is a Queen who is adored and now the Emperor is starting to pay attention to her, makes the fire of Concubine Yona's hatred even more burning.

The Emperor intended for Empress Lili to sit with him on the throne, but he did not expect that Empress Lili would sit with Baba and Scarla beside Queen Gabby.

Emperor Blaise couldn't help but stare as Empress Lili didn't even want to sit with him.

People in the meeting room were surprised to see the Empress sitting beside Queen Gabby. And finally, they realized that the Emperor had never wanted to sit with the Empress and had never even invited Empress Lili to an Imperial meeting. At the same time, Emperor Blaise expected the Empress to be side by side with him.

Despite Emperor Blaise's regrets, he started the meeting. "I heard that Devils live on the Khaaslonia Continent." said the Emperor directly without rambling.

They were all surprised but not Gabby nor Baba, or Scarla.

"You mean Your Majesty, how come?" said an Arch Duke of the Azruth Empire. The highest level of Nobility in the Empire was the Arch Duke, which was why many Nobles couldn't help but be surprised to hear that the Queenby Kingdom could bestow the Titles of Grand Duke and Duchess.

"Perhaps King Alenjadro can explain." said the Emperor, turning to Alejandro, asking for an explanation.

"Very well, Your Majesty," said Alejandro saluting Emperor Blaise because the Emperor's position was higher than the King.

"I got information from the mages' guild in my Kingdom that Devils are roaming the Folly Kingdom's Territory. I don't know since when that Devil started to invade, I got from the wizard guild in my Kingdom that he was after my daughter. I don't know why he is after my daughter. I was quite surprised to hear from a Magician who came to me that a demon will visit my Kingdom, " Alejandro explained.

They were all speechless when they heard that there was a devil who wanted to invade the Folly Kingdom.

Unbeknownst to them, Prime minister Redrick smiled faintly at Alejandro with a disdainful look.

'I hope your Kingdom is destroyed', Prime Minister Redrick thought, cursing Alejandro.

Prime Minister Redrick knew from the start that the Alejandro Kingdom had previously cooperated with the Devil. 'This is what you get from that devil, you idiot.'
