episode 8. Should I be polite?

Canary took a look around.

Everyone was happy.

Though she didn't show it, it was clear that she was mocking the canary.

Canary burst out laughing, her face flushed.

A lovely and adorable canary. She is a canary worthy of the Emperor's affection!

Canary had created that image.

"What... Was there something like that?"

The canary drank her saliva.

"I'm relieved to know now. Thank you for informing me, Sir Cassius."

She was successful in answering as slowly as she could.

Cassius, on the other hand, appeared uninterested in Canary's efforts.

Cassius wasn't even looking at Canary.

The canary is wheezing.

'What makes him so arrogant? On the subject of slavery...!'

Of course, you're aware that she has a striking appearance.

People are looking at Cassius in this world where everything becomes a weapon.

They also stated that Cassius would soon be appointed Duke of Lottera, so he was simply trying to make friends.

'I didn't say it because I don't like it!'

Maybe it was because he rolled on the battlefield, but he had wheat-colored skin, blood-red hair, and golden eyes that didn't look like a nobleman. Lenisha sat beside Cassius in her graceful form.

And even a menacing figure in a black suit.

'It's not deep.'

The canary's head jerked away. She acted as if she'd never stolen him.

Renisha was the next person to enter the banquet hall.

Lenisha raised her head and looked around her banquet hall.

Cassius, who had arrived in fine form, caught her eye.

Madame Turiel altered Cassius' clothing to suit Renisha's preferences.

A simple and clean black suit.

It was a design that emphasised luxurious materials and embellished with black and red jewels.

Renisha swayed gently in her golden gown.

The eyes of those at her dinner table lit up with rapture every time she moved.

Only Empress Renisha could wear this dress, which was woven entirely of gold thread.

It was a work of art created by the people of the empress' palace while they were awake all night.

"I must have arrived late."

"Not at all, Her Majesty the Empress." We were pressed for time."

The aristocrats, who had been acting noble with her mouth shut, hurled insults at the empress one by one.

They appeared to be treating Renisha with the respect she deserved.

"No one is required to stand, so sit down." As if he was aware that it was a fixed location. Cassius inhaled deeply. It had a rose scent to it.

It wasn't just a pleasant floral aroma.

It had such a strong scent that you could smell everything, including the fresh green stems and small sprouting thorns.

Rotera's Renisha appears to be revealed by this three-dimensional scent.

Cassius turned his head involuntarily towards Renisha.

Duke Lottera appeared to have reverted to her former self.

The duke was correct.

Renisha was a child who resembled Duke Rotera.

Renisha, who was conversing with another noble, turned to Cassius.

Cassius and Renisha's gazes locked.

"I am Sir Cassius." You saw it before, and you see it again."

"Your Majesty the Empress," she said.

Cassius seemed to be at a loss for words.

When he spoke, the afterimages of Duke Rotera and Renisha in front of him became mixed up and confused him.

And I felt like I finally understood why the knights of the mansion went insane when they saw Madame Turiel.

'You're a lady!' 'She who isn't on the battlefield!'

Cassius' heart beat faster.

Renisha's scent rushed in with every breath he took.

A fragrance that, for some reason, moves people's hearts.

"What makes you look like that?"

Renisha inquired softly.

"that… … ."

There were numerous questions I wanted to ask.

What is the gift's purpose? Renisha, what are you thinking?

And she had something to say about it.

But nothing comes out.

Renisha placed a gentle hand on Cassius' shoulder.

"You made it look nice."

She then stroked her shoulder and took her hand away.

Renisha spoke in hushed tones.

"works well together."

Cassius' cheeks turned red like his hair.

I clenched his fists and turned his head forward unconsciously.

You don't understand why.

And I was completely unaware that my appearance appeared to others as threatening.

Cassius' eyes were averted in surprise by the nobles.

Cassius piqued the interest of only Canary.

The eyes of Canary twinkled.

She said, 'It's definitely going to be violent. Growing up as a slave, he wouldn't have learned anything. Since you've been on the battlefield, you don't even know how to act like a human being, right? It's great, Renisha.'

Just the thought of Renisha, who was about to become very unhappy, made Canary feel better.

Renisha is being punished for ignoring Canary.

It was clear that Cassius' violent side would drive Renisha to hell.

The last one to appear was Lexus.

As always, the Lexus was selfish and arrived after a long delay.

Canary smiled coquettishly as soon as Lexus arrived.

While waiting for the Lexus, no one really treated Canary.

"your majesty. Why are you here so late? The canary has been waiting for Pehaman."

Lexus hugged Canary by the shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.

"It must have been late because you liked waiting. Now, everyone, take your seats."

Canary threw her defiant glance at Renisha.

She was not envious of Renisha at all.

How can I envy that life that leans on a man's affection?

Renisha smiled.

"It looks like the empress is having fun too."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The canary is getting prettier and prettier. Just looking at it makes me feel good."

"okay? It would be okay for the empress to have at least one person who makes her happy like me."

Lexus rubbed his chin and said.

Lexus' eyes filled with madness alternately looked at Renisha and Cassius.

Cassius frowned at the feeling of being licked by snake-like eyes, and Renisha laughed nonchalantly.

'What else is that damn bastard thinking?'

Besides, flirting with the mistress in front of my wife.

'Crazy guy.'

I don't even want to do business, but the emperor of this country.

Cassius felt that his past, struggling to become a nobleman, was worthless.

In order to become a man without shame or shame, Cassius did not lead the war to victory by sacrificing himself.

Cassius averted his gaze.

He felt like he wanted to get up right now.

Renisha grabbed Cassius by the wrist.

It was hidden under the table so no one could see it, but the owner of the cool, thin fingers must be Renishia.

Renisha's palms were soft and moist.

As if Cassius was of a completely different race from the people he lived with on the battlefield... … .

Cassius gritted his teeth. The neckline flared up.

I didn't mind when Madame Turiel measured Cassius' body like pork on a stall... … .

It felt like my heart jumped up.

Cassius rolled his eyes and barely saw Renisha.

Renisha was still smiling as her emperor met her eyes.

"How can I do that, Your Majesty. I'm just keeping my position as His Majesty's companion."

Renisha's smile was dry.

"… … okay? If it was the empress, then that would be it. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who are here today. I invited you to do something that I had been putting off because I was busy with public affairs. Before eating, first... … . Sir Cassius?"

After his name was called, Cassius slowly rose from his seat.

Renisha's hand fell from Cassius' hand.

What did it mean? Cassius gritted his teeth.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

I didn't ask any questions and only gave solid answers.

Cassius' wild golden eyes collided with the emperor's languid eyes.

The Emperor smiled.

"I've made you feel sorry for you! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. In fact, even if this seat doesn't seem to do anything, there are so many things to do. There are many people looking for it. There is a lot of work to do, a lot of obligations."

Lexus suddenly leaned over and grabbed Canary's chin, who was sitting in the seat.

"Kyaa… … !"

Canary didn't even have time to scream, Lexus sucked Canary's lips.

A vulgar sound echoed through the dinner hall.

Canary's face turned red.

Lexus, who turned her head and stared at Cassius, smiled.

"I also have this duty."

Lexus's glistening eyes turned to Renisha this time.

Renisha sat unmoved on the right side of the Lexus.

Lexus grabbed Renisha by the wrist and lifted her from her seat.

Lexus pulled Renisha into her arms and bit Renisha's exposed neck.

Lenisha frowned at her.

Lenisha, catching her breath in her disgust, slowly pulled away from Lexus.

She's doing this to provoke Cassius, so I just want her to suffer.

Lenisha covered the nape of her neck with the palm of her hand and stepped back from her.

She said, "I have this duty too. So, she forgot about you. Empress, sit down again."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cassius' eyes burned with anger.

Renisha is a lofty person. If she was Lotera's child, she would be.

Pride and honour are important... … !

But now she was humiliated in front of people.

Her entourage was silent, but everyone in this room saw Renisha being stricken.

'Why the hell is that?'

Lexus said to Cassius, who didn't say anything.

"Now, I must reward you! I've been thinking about it. Originally, this war was led by the Rotera family! Decrease the Duchy of Rotera. You will now be Cassius Rotera!"

Lexus let out a maniacal laugh.

His swollen eyes were wet with something glistening.

Cassius swallowed the curse inwardly.

"Now, aren't you happy! You are washing away the sins of the Rotera family who committed treason!"

The Emperor walked over to Cassius, who was standing there, and grabbed him by the shoulders.

'Such a crazy bastard... … !'

It was time to think about whether it would be necessary to put up with the emperor who dared to defile Rotera and his idol any longer.

Renisha's eyes met.

Renisha's pink eyes were looking straight at Cassius.

Lenisha pursed her lips as she had before.

'It's an honour, Your Majesty.'

Cassius gritted his teeth.

The current anger is too much to follow without knowing anything like before... … !

'I have to be nice.'

Renisha smiled brightly, holding her chin lightly.

What the hell does that woman think of Cassius? Is she an obedient dog?

Cassius turned his ferocious eyes to the emperor.

His menacing body wriggled as Cassius drew in his breath.

People thought that Cassius would strike the emperor.

Cassius lowered his head and licked his lips.

"It is an honour, Your Majesty."

As Renisha told her to, she behaved kindly. Shit.
