Gabby, who was invited without the knowledge of anyone from the Empire, was leaked. Who leaked Gabby's arrival was none other than the Emperor's messenger. Emperor Blaise deliberately made Queen Gabby's arrival known to many people to make Queen Gabby uncomfortable because Emperor Blaise was sure that the arrival of Queen Gabby, who the Empress invited, had hidden intentions.
Gabby, who arrived at the Imperial Palace, was greeted directly by Empress Lili. The entire Palace, including Empress Lili herself, was stunned to see Gabby's form for the first time.
Not only did Gabby make them gape, even Scarla, who looked like an angel, the Empress admitted that, and Baba's good looks made the Empress blush. Because this was the first time, Empress Lili had seen Baba's face, which was previously covered by a mask, every time she met Empress Lili.
Empress Lili invited Gabby and the others to have tea together in a Gazebo before dinner.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I introduce myself. My name is Chikako Lili. May I know Your Majesty's name?" said Lili, not forgetting to respect the nobility. He did not link the Azruths or the Onyx for his last name.
Gabby smiled at Lili. "Gabriella Graciana Charlotte, the Empress can call me Gabby." Gabby said, glancing at Scarla and Baba.
Scarla and Baba stood up and introduced themselves to each other. "I am Grand Duke Baba," Baba said. "I am Grand Duchess Scarla," said Scarla. The two of them saluted Empress Lili.
The Empress was initially surprised that the Queenby Kingdom could give the highest Grand Title. "Excuse me, if I'm not mistaken, there is still one more Grand Duchess?" asked Empress Lili.
"Ah, Empress is right. Let me introduce her since she's not here," Scarla said, and Empress Lili nodded. "Grand Duchess Shushu, she is currently at the border," said Scarla.
"The Empress must have heard that my Kingdom and the Folly Kingdom are at loggerheads," said Gabby looking at the Empress to ask a question. "Ah, Yes," Empress Lili replied.
They enjoyed tea while talking. Not long after, a waiter came. "Sorry, Empress, it's time for dinner." said the maid looking down while stealing glances at Baba.
"Alright, come on, Your Majesty." Empress Lili replied to the maid and invited Gabby to have dinner together.
On the way to the dining room, the Maids and Butlers couldn't take their eyes off Gabby and Scarla or Baba.
The Empress Entered the Room Shouted a Eunuch.
Everyone, including Emperor Blaise, turned to the door to see Empress Lili accompanying Queen Gabby. Inevitably the Emperor had to welcome them.
The Princes of the previous Emperor, or rather the younger cousins of Emperor Blaise, also joined the dinner with the Imperial Empress Dowager.
The princes rolled their eyes, glaring at the sight of Queen Gabby's figure, who was rumored to be like a goddess who was setting her foot on this dirty ground.
The atmosphere in the dining room was quiet. A middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful and elegant looked at Gabby without looking away.
They enjoyed dinner in silence, the Princes always stealing glances at Gabby and Scarla, while the Emperor's Concubine Blaise and the Empress of the Princes glanced at Baba.
"Ekhem… To think that a Queen would want to befriend the Imperial Trash." everyone except Gabby and Scarla, and Baba turned to the Woman who opened her voice in the silence of the dinner sneering at Gabby.
Gabby was still eating her food quietly. "Your Majesty Queen Gabby, you are, as rumored, very beautiful. But why would you want to know a person who has a sister who has an affair with a Beastman? Isn't that disgusting?" The woman said to Gabby.
The woman hoped that Gabby would be disgusted by Empress Lili because if there were people in the family who had a loving relationship with the Beastman Race, they would be underestimated even though they were born from nobles or royal families.
Empress Lili, who heard the woman's words, who was none other than Concubine Yona, made her jaw clench. Empress Lili did not reply sarcastically to Concubine Yona, seeing Gabby eating her food solemnly.
The atmosphere was quiet again. This time it was tenser because Gabby still looked calm with her food, Emperor Blaise himself deliberately didn't stop Consort Yona because it could benefit him.
Not long after, Gabby stopped eating, wiped the rest of the food off her lips with a handkerchief, and then sat back down quietly.
Scarla did the same with Gabby. Baba stood saluting them and turned to Concubine Yona.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty Yona's concubine. If you are noble, they will understand that nobility is not allowed to speak while eating," Baba said respectfully and sat back down.
Those in the dining room must have misinterpreted the advice given by Baba. Concubine Yona's annoyance disappeared when she saw Baba's handsome face.
Empress Lili seemed to conclude her smile hearing Baba's words, and Empress Lili was sure that they would misinterpret Baba's words. They would think that Baba had just targeted Concubine Yona.
"To think you know my Concubine's name, I haven't even introduced her yet." This time Emperor Blaise spoke up, feeling suspicious that Baba knew the name of his Concubine. Could it be that Baba also knew the rest of the Imperial Family?
"Of course, Your Majesty, It was Her Majesty the Empress who told us earlier that there was a painting of you and your Empress and Concubine when we passed the living room," Baba concluded with a smile.
The woman in the room blushed when she saw Baba smiling. On the other hand, Empress Lili, shocked, immediately turned to Gabby as she recalled that she and Gabby's entourage had not passed through the living room. Gabby only returned Empress Lili's confused gaze with a smile.
"I see." Emperor Blaise said but still couldn't believe Baba's words.
----
Dinner was over, and Gabby and the Empress were talking again. This time they talked in the Empress' room. Even Robe was assigned to stand guard at the door if anyone wanted to meet the Empress.
'What are they talking about? It's curious' thought Robe since he had not seen anyone coming out of the Empress Room where the night was getting quieter.
Gabby came out of the room shortly after, followed by Scarla and Baba. Gabby smirked, seeing Robe's curious face. "Robe, please escort and escort Her Majesty Queen Gabby back to the pavilion," said Empress Lili out of the Room.
Robe turned to Empress Lili for a moment, and Robe was surprised to see the Aura emitted by the Empress felt different. For some reason, according to Robe, Empress Lili looked more beautiful and charming.
