CHAPTER 87

Empress Queenby's birthday party was still going well. Even after the departure of the man who had stolen the Empress' heart, she still couldn't escape her thoughts.

"Your Honour…"

"Sis..."

"Older sister!" Mia called him a little loudly, breaking Gabby's thoughts.

The Empress Dowager frowned, seeing Gabby lost in thought. In her mind, she already thought Gabby didn't know her sister was coming.

"Uh, yeah?" Gabby's confused answer made Mia smile mischievously.

Mia turned to the Empress Dowager for a moment. "Sincerely Empress Dowager Azruth." Mia gently tugged both sides of the dress and looked down.

"Ah, Lady Charlotte." Empress Dowager Viona smiled at Mia.

Mia turned back to Gabby and handed her a box containing a handkerchief. "Your Majesty, accept my gift." Mia gives a handkerchief embroidered with the Queenby Kingdom coat of arms.

"Thank you Mia. This is very beautiful."

Gabby gently pulled Mia's hand to sit next to her. "Hmm, where's Daddy?" Gabby spoke a little doubtfully, and her doubts were in her nature as a child.

Hearing Gabby ask her father, Mia smiled faintly. "Father is preparing a present for you, sis." Gabby just nodded, hearing Mia's answer.

"Sis, who was that man?" Mia whispered to Gabby.

Gabby stuttered to answer Mia's question, which she didn't know what to answer. "He is a merchant who came from the illosiyan Continent." Gabby tried to answer casually with calm.

"Is that true? He doesn't look like a merchant." Mia concluded with a smile, and Gabby smiled wryly at the thought of the man's face.

"What did he trade to make him want to travel this far?" Empress Dowager Viona answered the conversation of the two sisters, but no one could answer.

Not long after, Duke Charlotte came with Evan. They each brought their gifts.

From the look on Evan's face, there was a look of regret, disappointment and pain. What caused him to be like that, only he knows.

Duke Charlotte grimaced inwardly. He was aware of many disapproving stares from other high nobles, especially from the royals of the Queenby Empire led by his daughter. Finally, now he can feel what Gabriella felt before.

He walked over to Gabby. Even though he was showing a genuine smile, he was smiling wryly to himself in his heart.

He stared at Gabby for a long time, and his heart sliced ​​when he recalled his previous treatment.

He was only able to give a necklace to Gabby. It was Eliana's necklace before. David gave it to Eliana as a sign of his love.

That was all he could give Gabby, and he couldn't give anything. If he could repeat time, he wanted to give his love as a father that Gabby had never felt before.

Seeing the smile of Gabby, who received his gift, David was completely broken in his heart, and he is a father who doesn't deserve to be an example.

After David gave the gift, it was Evan's turn to present a bracelet made of pure gold decorated with diamonds, which looked very luxurious and expensive.

"Sorry." Evan's brief words were able to distract Gabby.

"It's all in the past, Marquess Evan." Evan winced inwardly when Gabby spoke to him formally, not like Gabby spoke to Leon or Mia.

Evan had obtained the title of Marquess from Duke Charlotte because he was already old enough to be knighted.

Note: I've read Manhwa, a family with a high noble status like the Duke can give the title of nobility to children or people close to the Duke's family.

On the other hand.

"Master likes it?" said a young man who became the charioteer of his master's chariot.

"I don't know, Ril. Her smile keeps haunting my mind." He stared ahead and didn't realize that his lips formed a charming smile that could attract women if he saw it.

'Oh my goodness, master fell in love, but the girl is very suitable for master.' thought the coachman. For the first time in his life, he saw his master smile just because of a girl.

The coachman who has lived with his master for a very long time, though, what would happen if his master fell in love? Was he going to take the girl with him, but this would be difficult considering the girl was an imperial leader.

He exhaled while shaking his head, and if his master wanted the girl, the girl must have had a very extraordinary charm that was able to attract the attention of his master.

"Um, sir?" The coachman hesitated to say the words.

"I don't want to take her. She will feel sad because she has to be separated from the people closest to her." the man, who was none other than Reinhard, answered the question that was in the coachman's mind.

"So, we will stay in this world?" asked the coachman named Ril.

"My heart aches when I remember her smile but away from her." Reinhardt's words made Ril chuckle in amusement, and he didn't expect that his master had fallen into the charm of a girl, nothing more than a human.

'Finally, I will have a Queen,' Ril thought happily. He guessed, surely the girl who fascinated his master would become his Queen someday. It could repeat time to the opposite sex if you think about it. Even the Goddess the master refused.

"Master, fight, I support you to win the heart of the future Queen." Ril's words made Reinhard blush.

"Tsk, it's you, I hope you can help me understand a girl."

"Hehe, you don't need to worry sir, no one can match my ability when it comes to love." Ril chuckled, amused seeing Reinhard, who had been blinded by love.

Reinhardt only smiled faintly at the chuckle of the God of Love who had followed him for a long time.
