Chapter 174: Chapter 174
Heinley: “Oh, right, Queen . You mention you like gold?”
Navier: “Hm? Oh, the letter . Have you read it?”
Heinley: “Yes . By the time I left, the room wasn’t finished yet … …”
Heinley gave a small smile .
Heinley: “Maybe it will be decorated with gold when you arrive . Please look forward to it . ”
Navier: “I like gold, but the room doesn’t have to be gold . ”
Heinley: “Nevertheless, my wife resembles gold . ”
Navier: “!”
Heinley: “If I lie next to you, my view will be as pleasing as gold . ”
Navier: “If so, I will simply turn my back and go to sleep . ”
Heinley: “Similar to our current arrangement, perhaps?”
Navier: “!”
In order not to forget that we are riding on a horse, I gain control of the reins as hard as possible . Heinley was like this the whole time on the horse . We talked lightly, but at some point, we talked about the fact that we are a couple .
Each and every time, I showed surprise . Ever so often he mentioned that he’s a husband, that I’m his wife, and a partner, and whenever he said this, my face became hot . But I can’t tell him to ‘Don’t say that‘, I can’t say anything else …
Heinley: “By the way, Queen . Did you know that… there is no queen’s palace in the western kingdom?”
Navier: “Then where do I sleep?”
Heinley: “There are three rooms on the same floor, among which are the common bedrooms and the queen and king’s room, which is an adjoined room . ”
Navier: “… …Why do you have such a structure?”
Isn’t that too uncomfortable for having a structure like that? No matter how good the couple’s relationship is, sometimes you want to be truly alone, but aren’t we married only in name . … Heinley exclaimed softly again .
Heinley: “The King and Queen are always using a single bedroom . ”
Does that mean you are looking forward to the first night? I am somewhat surprised . However, Heinley’s voice this time was not playful, and the tone is quite serious . I hope my question didn’t seem rude . So are we really going to use the same bed? Either way is plausible … …

First, I want to get off the horse . When the border finally appeared, I heaved a sigh of relief . It’s good to get out of this shameful arrangement . However, the tension returned when I saw the train of carriages, guards, and Sir McKenna waiting behind the border .
Gradually, I slowly pulled the reins of my horse and approached them across the border . When the horse stopped completely, two guards from the Western Kingdom approached and took control .
Meanwhile, Heinley got out of the horse first and reached out to me . When he took my hand and I came down, McKenna approached me, greeted me first, and asked Heinley a question .
McKenna: “Your Majesty, I sent two horses, but why are you only riding one?”
Two horses? When I looked at him, Heinley shook his head expressionlessly .
Heinley: “You’re wrong, McKenna . ”
McKenna: “Yes? Did I make a mistake? I’m certain I’ve sent two horses . ”
Heinley: “There is only one horse . ”
Heinley, who spoke suddenly, looked at me . When his eyes met mine, he chuckled, sheepishly implying that McKenna made a mistake .
When McKenna drew a funny impression of Heinley from behind, I laughed and shook my head, and lately, I’ve noticed the looks on the guards’ faces and immediately became flustered .

The guards who were out to escort Heinley appeared to be trying to keep their solemn expressions, but the eyes and lips seemed to tell otherwise . McKenna noticed my expression and smiled confidently .
McKenna: “I was very surprised to see the Queen who I’ve only heard from the rumors . ”
… … I don’t think my face has a look of awareness after calling my title . I wondered if they have caught me in another awkward moment . But if I’ve seen here embarrassing myself further, my mood will get worse .
I smiled, pretending to calm down . Meanwhile, McKenna quickly opened the door of the carriage .
McKenna: “Please enter, Your Majesty . ”
… … I do not know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing . When I was called Queen, I was seen failing to react, so I quickly got into the coach . But even when I entered, the guards’ eyes that I had seen before were not easily erased from my mind . Even the guards devoid of such expression were sharp to notice .
How will the people of the Western Kingdom see me, the nobles who I will meet in social circles? Who will I meet in the Eastern Empire when I become Queen?
The scene seen through the window was slightly different from the Eastern Empire, and from this moment on, there was no possibility of being tracked by Sovieshu . My mind becomes more complicated than when I ride on a horse .
Navier: ‘I’ll be fine . I did so well . I had worked hard . ’
As I was thinking, Heinley called me softly, “Queen . ” He sat opposite me and stared at me . When we make eye contact together, those soft eyes bend slightly . Heinley bowed slightly, then said as he put his hand on mine .

Heinley: “It’s okay . A queen is also an empress that everyone will love . ”
If so, I wouldn’t have had divorce … … Heinley tends to overestimate me . Heinley’s reassurance didn’t help me much, but it had calm me down a little .
Navier: “Thank you . I’m a bit excited . ”
He laughed and nodded, but he, too, could not relax until the convoy stopped . Fortunately, after Sovieshu brought Rashta, I became accustomed to receiving people’s scrutiny . To pretend to earn that look . Thanks to that, when I arrived at the palace and got off the carriage, I could smile calmly when I saw a large number of court officials .
However, my heart trembled with vague uncertainty . Curiosity, worry, hope, interest, displeasure … … Dozens of people with lots of emotion carry a sparkling optical illusion effect like a chandelier . I smiled at them and put my hand on Heinley’s arm .
Seems like it worked, they stopped for a moment and bowed quickly .
“We see Your Majesty and the Queen . ”
