CHAPTER 11 (1). THREE-PARTY ENCOUNTER

Patrizia thought a positive aspect of becoming the Empress was the fact that she could freely go to the Imperial Library. Her husband was not interested in her, and the Duchess of Efreni was still helping her with the affairs of the Imperial Household, and so while she didn't have plenty of time to spare, she wasn't chased by it either.

Patrizia used the excuse of the bright and sunny weather to leave the Empress Palace and went outside.

The library inside was still quiet, and the librarian seemed to have gone to the restroom as she was nowhere to be seen. Patrizia thought about how she would have worked as a librarian if she hadn't become Empress, and slowly moved to the bookcases.
