CHAPTER 85

The next day, Gabby was met by a guest. The guest was none other than Gustav, who came to ask for Gabby's help and apologize for his past mistakes. Gustav was so shy about Gabby because he wanted to meet her. He felt suffocated to speak directly to Gabby.

"It seems there is something important that you want, King Gustav?"

Gustav didn't know where to start. He was also a normal man. Meeting Gabby, a girl held in high esteem in the Empire and his Kingdom, left him speechless. Couldn't shift Gustav's eyes at all to look at Gabby's charming appearance. Of course, there was a feeling of regret in him for his previous attitude. However, he was now a King. He couldn't give the attitude of a masher, especially to the Empress of the Empire.

"That's right, Your Majesty," Gustav replied with a wry smile.

"I know if they want Lady Filarl to get the same punishment as them," Gustav nodded resignedly. As the Empress of the Empire that overshadowed the Spinx Kingdom, Gabby certainly knew what was going on.

"King Gustav, as a King, I believe you still have a choice. The people are number one to fight for, and I think you understand that." Gabby's words made Gustav despair.

"What if you want to use my rules?" Gustav looked at Gabby, who smiled gently at him. His chest tightened when he saw the smile of the girl that used to be his, and now he didn't deserve to be with her.

"If I may..." cut off Gustav's words. He couldn't say it. Gabby sighed lightly.

"Making Lady Filarl Grand Concubine?" Gustav nodded slowly. "I don't mind if you make it anything. It's just that I don't want it because your love is so great that your First Lady will feel inferior towards a concubine. You must know about the Azruth Empire's Empress back then, right?"

Gustav was completely speechless. What she said was true. He was afraid that his love for Tiana would make him exile his Royal Queen later. That's really what he's afraid of when he can't share the love.

"Let's make a deal" Gabby's words made Gustav look up at him, and he never thought that Gabby, the Empress of the Empire, would make a pact.

"Agreement, Your Majesty?" Gustav asked, slightly confused by the deal with Gabby.

Gabby nodded. "It's all for the sake of the Spinx Kingdom," Gabby paused for a moment. "I will decree your marriage to Lady Zerry, and you may also appoint Lady Filarl as your concubine. But if one day, the Queen of the Spinx Kingdom gets a complaint from you, then I will take the entire Spinx Kingdom Territory. How?" Gustav gaped in disbelief at such a heavy deal for him.

"But Your Majesty…" Gustav could not refuse the agreement of the Imperial Empress, who was willing to overshadow his Kingdom. But he didn't know how to deal with Lady Zerry later.

"Lady Zerry is a noble loyal to the Empire, and if I'm honest, I wanted to decree her engagement to one of the Imperial Noble Councils. You don't need to worry, and Lady Zerry is a strict girl. She is very suitable to be the Queen of the Spinx Kingdom. And, hmmm…" Gabby cut herself off and looked like she was dreaming of something. "You know? She used to be a big fan of yours." Gustav had no idea that Gabby cared so much for the kid of a Noble in the Empire, and what surprised Gustav was that he didn't know that Lady Zerry favoured him.

Gustav was not unfamiliar with the Zerry Family. Formerly Zerry came out as a neutral Viscount of the Spinx Kingdom, and they only respected the chosen King without wanting to join the Noble Faction. After that incident, Viscount Zerry sided with Gabby, and after the founding of the Queenby Kingdom, Gabby was elevated by Gabby to become an Imperial Count. Even Count Zerry became the Leader of the Council of Nobles in the Queenby Empire at that time, and his daughter Isabella became the Representative of the House of Nobles.

In other words, Even though Lady Filarl didn't lose her peerage or pretend her family still existed, Lady Filarl was too Inferior compared to Lady Zerry, who had a lot of achievements.

"Very well if that is your decision, Your Majesty. As the King who upholds the Empire, I will accept the decree you will issue, as long as the kingdom has a good effect." Gustav accepted Gabby's decision even though it was based on an agreement.

He did love Tiana, but he also promised his late father to become a King who could make the Kingdom prosper without any unwanted conflicts.

"Okay. In that case, I will have to meet the Spinx Royal Tribute." Gabby gave a smile that stunned Gustav.

Note: The tribute here means the future queen, guys

"Very well, Your Majesty. But before that, can you help me?"

Gabby raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, King Gustav?" Gabby saw Gustav's angry expression.

"Your Majesty, Tiana has been missing for the past few days. I ask for your help in finding Tiana," Gustav replied doubtfully. Gabby frowned at Gustav.

Gustav noticed the look Gabby was giving him. "You don't need to worry, Your Majesty. I never miss anything about the Kingdom, and I only think of Tiana when I've finished my duties as King of the Kingdom." Gustav a little panicked seeing Gabby staring at him with a sharp look.

"I hope you understand your current status," Gustav nodded slowly. "I will send an envoy to help you." continued Gabby making Gustav show a faint smile.

"And I also want to apologize to you for my treatment of you before, and I am a stupid man who only pleases myself," Gustav said regretfully.

"That is just the past. We better think about the future for our Kingdom." Gabby's words made Gustav couldn't help but marvel at Gabby's generosity.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. If that's the case, I'll say goodbye." Gustav was starting to look less upset after getting help from Gabby.
