Chapter 61: 61
“I was very impressed with your behavior just now . ” I frowned at Marien’s words .
‘What? My behavior?’
I can’t think of it . I’m glad you don’t think it’s true, let alone impressive . In answer to my question Catherine opened her mouth, putting the teacup down on the pedestal .
“It’s not easy to reveal the secrets of such a great tea easily, no matter how close you are . ”
‘It’s not a secret, it’s no big deal, so I just released it…’
I was embarrassed because I did not know that I would be overestimated .
“No, that’s… . ” Of course, I am grateful to have a good interpretation, but it is burdensome to praise me by interpreting it differently than intended . For that reason, I tried to confess frankly that I didn’t mean it . But the two women I mentioned earlier stopped me from speaking .
”Yes, I’m just grateful that you have trusted us and told us . ”
”It’s the second time I’ve seen her privately, but I was thrilled by her kindness . ” No, I was embarrassed to see them distorting my intentions .
“Everyone, cut it short . ” When everyone couldn’t make a rational judgment, someone who could make a proper judgment appeared . Terrence Young-ae opened her mouth, staring at me . “Although the princess tells the secret of the car kindly, answers well, and she is a better person than you thought, you still have to be calm about the tea . ” It’s my mistake that it feels like a compliment for some reason, right? Anyway, I don’t want to go to a tasting event and do any activities . Then I took her words with me .
“That’s right . I like being fair, too . ” Lady Terrence nodded at my answer .
“In that sense, I’ll speak fairly . The tea she gave me is seemingly ordinarily dazzling . ” Of course it will . The leaves themselves are worth looking at by mixing flowers, but no one will see the tea leaves because they are put in filter paper and brewed anyway .
‘Well, that’s a fail at the tasting . ’
That’s what I was thinking .
“But it was wonderful to process the tea using a special technique called fragrant . The scent was very good . It feels like the moist rose scent from the dew at dawn spreads in my mouth?” I was listening to Lady Terence’s praise with a blank face . “Never mind that if you break the tasting rules in the future, you’ll get kicked out . ” Leave, before I even accept the word that suddenly popped out .
“Oh, congratulations!”
”I can be with you in the future!”
“Please take good care for me!” I was filled with sighs at their congratulatory remarks .
‘Oh, Lady Terence… What do I do if you didn’t pass me?’
* * *
“Oh, it’s already time!”
“I’ll call you in advance for the next tasting!” It was when the tasting members were greeting one by one .
“Next time, can I write a letter?” The blushing Veronica made Juvelian turn her head slightly off .
“Of course . ” Then, Veronica’s face was bright .
“I’ll see you next time!” As Veronica went out, there were only two of them left in the open drawing room . Max stared at Jubelian gently .
When I thought of the word, a bitter smile came to my lips .
Isabel thought she would not be able to use force, but she tried to destroy the spirit of the young crown prince .
‘The Crown Prince was violent and had a cruel heart without blood or tears . ’
The method was to spread rumors about the Crown Prince with malice . At first, I was angry and falsely accused, but nothing changed . So what he chose was to be insensitive to rumors directed at him . It didn’t get any better if you paid attention to it . Moreover, I thought it was not good for me to turn into a cold-blooded monster with no blood or tears like that rumor . It’s more like you’re risking your life will be better .
But when Jubelian stood by him, something filled his chest and shook greatly . Yeah, that was a weird sense .
‘Why are you different from the others?’
Max was staring at Juvelyan with deeper eyes . Then, Jubelian rolled her blue eyes . It could have been avoided, but with the desire to look straight into the eyes, Max stared straight at Juvelian . At the moment of eye contact, the heart thundered and rang loudly .
‘Do you feel the same way as me?’
I hoped, but it was grumbling to Jubelian to stop by .
“Ha, I’m going to be in a tight circle . ”
‘What’s wrong with social activities?’

Max closed his mouth as he tried to ask casually . Come to think of it, her behavior has always been strange . When she was alone at the ballroom, and at the tea party, he only answered other people’s questions but never spoke to them first . At that time, her gossip that I had heard one day came back to mind .
Only then could Max realize why he was so angry .
‘Is it because you look like me?’
Max, who silently responded to Jubelian’s face, opened his mouth .
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine . ”

Fresia was frowning as she read the report given by her subordinate .
‘Secret contact with the Chang Jung-baek was successful, but the problem was the empress . ’
The rumors spread by the empress were malicious . The Crown Prince, who turned away from his mother, returned as a tyrant who slaughtered the enemy like a butcher .
Fresia, who was reading the report of the load, spat out nausea .
“Brave, snake-like lewd bitch!” If public opinion in the Empire goes this way, the Prince’s enemy synthesis may be questioned unless he makes a great contribution .
‘In the worst case, you could be deprived of your crown prince status . ’
Although it is true that you can’t say that you have a good personality, Max has never crossed the line .
‘I told you to keep the weak alive, who are not able to fight in the war . ’
Most of the stigma written by the Crown Prince was unjust . But every time Max heard a stigma, he only answered with an empty eye .
But knowing that Empress Sun’s work was a wound to Max, Fresia could not dare to report to him the truthfully .

‘We need to crack down on this so it won’t catch the Lord’s ear . ’
Fresia tore up the rumor report and put it in the fireplace . Staring at the blazing report, she was looking for a way to calm the rumour .
‘Even if the empress makes a fuss, she needs a decent shot…’
And it was the low-key voice that broke her imagination .
“What are you doing?” Surprised by the sudden appearance of Max, she pretended to be calm .
“Oh, are you here?” I turned my head, and the image of Max came into my eyes . a slightly subdued look . The atmosphere seemed calm with a slight downturn .
”What happened to the Chang Jung-baek?”
”Oh, we’ve been in touch and asked to support about 20,000 of our soldiers . ”
If you lose 20,000 soldiers, it’s not a big loss . However, the number of soldiers trained by Byun Kyung-baek was only 60,000 and even if the support forces participated in the war, the number could not be guaranteed .
‘Maybe you want your king not to be involved in case you fail . ’
If you send reinforcements as requested by Chang Jung-baek, you’ll only put them in danger . For that reason, Fresia was rather hoping Max would refuse . But coldly, the Crown Prince uttered his wish and other words outside his mouth .
“Send our reinforcements . ”
“Sorry? But you’ll be wiped out . ” Fresia dissuaded him, but Max was adamant .
“It’s a good thing if you can take a big one at a loss . ” Yeah, I’m sure we can pull the Southern forces together, including Chang Chi-baek, if we support the South . But Fresia couldn’t bear to be happy .
‘Did you forget that few of them are your soldiers?’
A cold-blooded man who can throw away his men for the purpose . I denied it as a false rumor, but I couldn’t help it .
‘After all, it’s my fault that I didn’t do a good job . ’
At the time of Prezia’s self-help, Max’s voice came .
“But send 50,000 soldiers . ” Fifty thousand, which was enough to guarantee a victory . However, it was a big burden to send the troops to support them as they account for a large portion of the troops . Knowing that the Lord was doing nothing to lose, Fresia stared at Max with astonishment .

“Are you serious?” In fact, it would have been better for Max to send 20,000 . Even if it was wiped out, it was a bearable loss . But there was a reason why Max forced his way into sending personnel .
‘You don’t think I’m evil when I do this?’
Max laughed as he recalled the face of Jubelian . Fresia was shocked to see the smiling face .
‘Yes, I’m sure you’ll reverse it as a mistake . ’
But Max didn’t reverse what he said .
“If only 20,000 people were sent as support, would it be more than just getting my soldiers killed? In that case, it would be better to send a number with a certain chance of winning . ” Feeling thrilled, Presia boiled on one knee .
“Really…… you’ve grown wonderfully . ” While looking at the misunderstood Presia, Max made a strange expression and frowned .
‘You hear all the stars while I was trying to see Juvelian well . ’
(he meant his just making his name good for Juvel but Fresia is enlightened because she thought Max is really thinking about his soldiers)
Suddenly, Max, feeling unfamiliar, turned away .
“And there’s something you need to do . ”
“Yes, tell me! This Fresia, I will do it at the risk of my life . ” Before long, Fresia heard Max’s words and asked back with a depressed face .
“Okay . Don’t let bad rumors about the Princess Floyen . ”
“Okay . ”
‘Why is the rumors of others who just left rumors about him…?’
It was embarrassing, but if you think about it, it was after meeting the princess that Max changed .
‘Princess Floyen, who really is you? My highness is the one who does this . ’
Presia brightened his eyes and shook his head .
“I take the name . ” As Presia left, Max frowned over the terms of the contract .
‘Should I say goodbye before I leave?’
