Chapter 83: 83

Chapter 83 – Sovieshu’s Anger (2)

A serious fight seemed inevitable at this point . I gave a worried glance at Sir Artina, who nodded his head and gently squeezed the hilt of his sword . At that moment—

“Your Highness! Your Highness!”

Someone came running from a distance and was calling to the prince . I turned around, and saw it was the blue-haired knight that often followed Prince Heinley . Sir McKenna, was it?

He stopped in front of us, gasping for breath before speaking urgently .

“Your Highness, I think you should go now!”

“What is it?”

Sir McKenna hesitated as he looked at Grand Duke Kapmen . The knight seemed unsure whether he should speak in front of him .

I turned to Prince Heinley and nodded at him .

“Go quickly . ”

I would rather he hurried, but he stared at me with a regretful look then carefully knelt on one knee . He lightly kissed the back of my hand, keeping his eyes fixed on me the entire time . Sir McKenna shifted in impatience .

“I’ll speak to you later . ”

His voice was soft as he stood up, and when I nodded, he turned around and left with Sir McKenna . Unlike his slow, gentle kiss, the speed of his pace was brisk . I wondered if it had anything to do with the Western King…

I stared at the back of Prince Heinley’s head and sighed .

“Are you friendly that prince?”

I suddenly remembered Grand Duke Kapmen’s presence and quickly turned to him . He was looking at me with a strange expression .

“Are you friendly that prince?”

He repeated himself .

“I think he’s a great man . ”

I couldn’t say I was friendly with him, but I didn’t want to lie, so I gave a moderate answer . However, Kapmen’s face only twisted . I observed him carefully .

“Are you…jealous?”

“It seems so . I was about to grab his throat earlier . ”

“You didn’t . ”

“Yes, it was hard for me to control my mouth . ”

I offered him a sympathetic smile, and he gave a careless shrug .

“It’s incredible how much emotion drives someone . ”

“…How do you feel?”

“Have you ever been jealous?”

“Jealous…”

Sovieshu pushed me to take care of Rashta . That painful feeling in my heart—was that jealousy?

“Maybe . ”

As soon as I agreed with him, Grand Duke Kapmen gave an unexpected reply .

“You admit it too easily . ”

“You were the one who was so frustrated you gave me a love potion . ”

He gave a bellowing laugh, and he put his hands in his pockets and lowered his gaze .

“Did I spoil your mood?”

“Watching the Grand Duke struggle is not so bad… ”

“Do you find me amusing?”

“Do I have to answer?”

Grand Duke Kapmen pursed his lips .

“I don’t think you’ve ever been so intensely jealous, so let me tell you—it’s like something invisible is yelling next to my heart . And I want to listen to that voice . ”

” … . What is it saying?”

“I can’t tell you . ”

“Why?”

“That invisible something is whispering to me now . We can’t let you learn our intentions . ”

I laughed thinking it he was joking, but I soon realized he was serious . He looked at me quietly for another moment, then gave a sigh .

“Just looking at one person can be very fulfilling . At the same time, it makes one feel insecure . In many ways…It’s a strong potion . ”

“When will the effects—”

I was about to ask when the effects would fade, when I heard the sound of someone else approaching . I looked around and saw Sovieshu . His eyes were cold .

‘Why does he look so grim? Did he overhear the conversation?’

“He wouldn’t have heard it . ”

Grand Duke Kapmen murmured a reply as if he read my mind .

I was amazed at his timing, and he spoke again in a low voice .

“He wasn’t close enough to hear our words . ”

I looked back at Sovieshu . The closer he came, the icier his expression . If he did hear the conversation, it would be a misunderstanding . Sovieshu waved his hands at the servants and knights nearby, and they stepped away .

Sovieshu turned towards me .

“Which one?”

“…What do you mean?”

“Grand Duke Kapmen, Prince Heinley . Which one?”

“I don’t understand what you mean . ”

Sovieshu looked at Grand Duke Kapmen with derision .

“Two foreigners must be an attraction for the Empress . ”

He was here now, but he seemed to have been watching since Prince Heinley was present .

“It’s a misunderstanding . ”

I cut off his words . Prince Heinley was only a friend, and although Grand Duke Kapmen had been in love with me for a while now, it was only because of the potion . Sooner or later, that would dissipate . Sovieshu didn’t seem to believe me, however .

“Why can’t you be careful of your behavior at this time?”

“What is ‘this time?’”

“The pregnancy of an emperor’s firstborn . Is this the time to have a scandal with other foreign men?”

“…Why not?”

“Why not?”

Sovieshu frowned at me like I didn’t know . I knew . It was the same reason I couldn’t openly be friends with Prince Heinley . It had only been a short time since Rashta became Sovieshu’s concubine, and she became pregnant with the Emperor’s first child . If I had a scandal with another man at this time, salacious gossip would spread about the Imperial family, and there was no dignity involved in that . I understood the need to be careful, but it felt different when Sovieshu pointed it out .

“You want me to be careful of my actions for your first child?”

“My first child? A baby of the Imperial family also means they’re your child . ”

“No . Whether there are a hundred or a thousand of them, your concubine’s baby is not my baby . ”

“Empress!”

“And as for the birth of your child, it is your happy occasion, not mine . ”

Sovieshu stared at me with a hostile expression .

“After all, Rashta’s baby can neither be an imperial prince or princess . Everyone knows that . ”

“So if they’re neither a prince nor princess, they’re not a baby of the Imperial family?”

“Yes, that’s the law . And no matter how set your mind is, in fifty or one hundred years, everyone won’t even know who those children are . ”

Sovieshu stared at me incredulously, then gave a hollow smile .

“The Empress truly is selfish . ”

“No matter how much you hate Rashta, are you already wary of her innocent unborn babies?”

“No . ”

“I wonder if the Empress even regards me as a husband—”

But before Sovieshu’s words continued, a fist came out of nowhere and struck him on the face .

It was Grand Duke Kapmen .
