The Dangerous Honeymoon Diary of the Fake Empress

6. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. The prince seem to dislike me read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘Phew. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I thought you were going to talk to me about something.’ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I crossed my arms and raised my chin as if to encourage her to go on.

“Haha. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. You can’t even sleep with ‘such a husband’. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. That’s pretty impressive, huh?” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Mmm. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. It’s one thing to ignore me, but to refer to the Prince Charming as ‘such a husband’? I almost fell for her provocation. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I forgot that we were in the middle of a banquet hall. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Instead of getting angry, I took a long, searching look around the ballroom.

Despite my pretense, there were quite a few eyes on us. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. If I got into a fistfight here, it would bring not only me but Jeremy into disrepute. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘Ah, you wanted me to swing my fist in front of the nobles. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Well, I think I want to punch a few and send them flying, but I’ll handle it in a slightly elegant way today. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I´m more elegant than I look.’ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Chersha raised one eyebrow as I calmed my temper.

“Ho-ho, you’re holding it together, aren’t you?”

Her eyes widened in surprise. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I was honestly pissed, but I acted like I hadn’t taken a single blow. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘This is why I hate social circles. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. You want to grab everyone you don’t like and beat them up, but you can’t, right?’ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I’m tired of having to argue with her, but it would be nice to get a few words in, so I take a step closer to her.

“There’s a dog barking somewhere, it’s easier to think about it and ignore it, you little dog-shit-eating ant.”

Then, without anyone else being able to hear, I unleashed a graceful shower of shit in her ear that made her flinch away from the sound of it.

“Shit……? Did you just say shit?”

I could see her hand on the fan trembling. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Apparently, this was the first time she’d ever heard the word in her life. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“How dare you, a lowly baroness, speak such nonsense to me, the Lady of the House of Raymond?”

In the Empire, the hierarchy of status was very strict; the difference between a Count and a Baron, even within the same nobility, was as great as the difference between heaven and earth.

Moreover, technically speaking, a female noble of a barony was hardly different from a commoner.

The countess had every right to be angry that the Baroness had insulted the only daughter of the Count’s family by calling her a piece of ant shit who ate dog shit. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. But there was one thing she had forgotten. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

’Things are different now, aren’t they, Chersha?’

I opened my mouth, my eyes narrowing as if I’d heard something strange.

“The countess has a bad head on her shoulders, and in terms of status, I’m above her now.”

Then I laughed lazily and pointed to the tiara on my head. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Tiaras were only allowed to be worn by royalty. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘Wow. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. This is what power tastes like. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I love times like this, even if the fake imperial life is a bit of a pain in the arse.‘ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

For a moment, I basked in my own satisfaction. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. My good mood was quickly dashed to the ground by Chersha’s next question. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Status? Your brother is missing, your father is a madman.”

Chersha whispered to me in a low voice so no one else could hear.

“It’s safe to say your family has fallen, and you try to put me down with a fake identity?”

Talking about family was a taboo subject for me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. My face automatically stiffened. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. The hand holding the hem of my dress trembled slightly. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Chersha.”

I said her name with all the rage I had inside me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. With the killing intent that if she crossed any more lines, I would not end with a warning. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Chersha? How dare you call me Chersha?”

Chersha glared at me through clenched teeth. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Perhaps it was because she hadn’t yet been called by her own name by her master. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. She was especially irritated by being called by her first name. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Ah, shall I call you nameless then?”

Perhaps it was the heat of the moment, but I spoke in a provocative way that I wouldn’t normally have.

The word “nameless” was powerful enough to blow away all her rationality.

“Na…..meless?”

Ain called only a few chosen Shadow Knights by name. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. All the rest were nameless. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

They would die a loyal death for their master but would not be remembered by him by name until the end.

“Did you just call me…. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. nameless?” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Chersha’s eyes widened as she realized she was hit by her Achilles’ heel.

“You must be very proud to be called by your first name.”

“Not much……?”

“You bitch. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. What have you been doing to our master? This secret mission was supposed to be mine, too, if you hadn’t stolen it from me!” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I didn’t steal it, as usual.”

“You can afford to look relaxed now, though, one day I’m going to kill you.”

Chersha’s eyes hardened. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. She kept her voice low, as if conscious of her surroundings, but the muscles in her face were visibly distorted. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Really? Then I’ll keep my fingers crossed. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. It doesn’t seem possible.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I was still frustrated, but I decided to stop arguing with her. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. There was no point in arguing with someone who had lost her mind. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I quickly raised my middle finger and turned away from her.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jeremy standing nearby.

‘Heuk. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. You didn’t just witness the whole thing, did you?‘ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I nervously fidgeted with my middle finger. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. But it was too late, and I could see his mauve eyes widen in shock. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. And there were pretty little tears at the corners of his eyes. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Bride…….”

“Why…… why are you crying? Prince.”

After a moment of panic, I hastily folded my hands politely over my navel, walked over to him, and looked at him with the politest expression I could muster.

“I have not done anything.”

“Ugh……. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Not the bride, that woman just said that she was going to…… kill the bride.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Huh? It was an insult I’d heard so many times from Chersha that it didn’t even tickle me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. But apparently not for Jeremy, who was still wearing his idiot mask. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Are you…… going to kill my bride?”

Jeremy grabbed Chersha by the collar and looked at her with moistened eyes. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. He raised his voice like he was trying to humiliate her. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Huh?”

Chersha looked visibly flustered. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. When she regained her composure, she tugged at Jeremy’s hold on her collar and lifted the corner of her mouth. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“When did I ever say that…….”

“Jeremy, could hear you right in his ears, you just told my bride that you were going to kill her.”

Jeremy’s words caused a stir around the room. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. The nobles gossiped as they looked at Chersha, and her face grew darker and darker. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“The crown prince is crying?”

“Lady Chersha must have said something harsh.”

This would be a chance for Jeremy to show a lot of nobles what an idiot he is, and a chance to strip Chersha of her angelic image.

“I think you misheard Your Highness.”

Chersha glanced in my direction, her eyes urging me to do something about this situation quickly. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I gladly answered her call, taking a step closer to Jeremy. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“You heard her correctly. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I was actually quite surprised to be threatened out of the blue.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I lowered my eyes and mimicked a slender girl, and I could hear the noble’s murmuring oohs and aahs beside me.

“Could it really be that Lady Chersha said such a thing?”

“I don’t think the prince is telling a lie.”

“Did Lady Chersha have that kind of image?”

The prince was so pure and pristine that people seemed to believe him.

Chersha had spent years cultivating an angelic image in social circles, but it was only a matter of time before the innocence of Jeremy’s attack reduced her entire facade to dust.

“…….”

Chersha chewed her lip as the odds grew stacked against her. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Then, deciding there was no point in continuing, she turned and ran. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

’That, that……. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I don’t know if she’s going to go like that and be meaner to me later.’ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I was feeling both exhilarated and annoyed when Jeremy sneakily grabbed my hand.

“Bride.”

“Yes?”

“I was very upset to hear that.”

I guess he saw that I was upset, and that’s why he held my hand and comforted me like this……?

I know he’s acting like an idiot, but it’s kind of touching to see him look at me with those crying puppy eyes. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. It’s like he really cares about me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I was really upset, but the prince came to the rescue and paid it off for me, so I’m fine now.”

I was about to lose my cool after hearing all the family insults, but now I was feeling much better.

“Mhh. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Next time that young lady bullies you again, call Jeremy. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Jeremy is sad when his bride is hurt.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Ah, I don’t get hurt. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I’m stronger, prince!” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“……really?”

His moistened mauve eyes turned to me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. The way he tilted his head slightly, waiting for me to speak, was…… cute, even if it was a little too cute. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Oh no….. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I think I’m going to get greedy again. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Ugh, before that happens, I’m going to die because of the prince.”

“Huh……? Why?”

“Because you’re too pretty.”

I said, pressing my hands together near my heart. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Jeremy’s eyes widened slightly, as if he hadn’t expected to hear that. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘Ooh, there goes my royal act. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I’ve been getting a bit better at acting lately, perhaps you can share a few tricks with me.‘ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I folded my arms and began to instruct him.

“Prince, smile like this.”

I gently lifted his cheeks with my fingers. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Hmm, he still looks a bit too clueless. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Cheese. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Say cheese.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Chee-se.”

After a slight hesitation, Jeremy repeated my words. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. His cheeks were slightly blushing from embarrassment. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘Awww, I don’t know why you’re so cute. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. You were so wary earlier, and then you disappeared, and now I feel like I’m going back and forth between heaven and hell with your expression.’ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I felt a little resentful, but I can’t help it. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. It’s because our prince is so handsome. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“It’s good to see that he and the princess are getting along.”

While I was still engrossed in the acting game, I saw a man with golden hair and a woman with silver violet hair approaching. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. They were the Emperor and Empress of the country, clad in grace and dignity from head to toe. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Empress and the princess. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Glory to Glory to Elkisies.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

After I finished my greeting, I glanced in the direction of the emperor.

Golden hair, blue eyes. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. He was middle-aged, with a gentle smile and an air of royalty about him. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

If the Crown Prince were to reach middle age, he would look exactly like that.

This time, I shifted my gaze to the Empress. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. With a neat appearance reminiscent of a lily of the valley, she was a young empress in her thirties. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. She had a rather blunt appearance, but she was extremely beautiful, as expected from someone who had been courted by the emperor for so long. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Brother, hello!”

I lowered my gaze to the source of the sound and saw Princess Karen, buried in the hem of the Empress’s dress.

“Hello, Karen.”

Children of emperors with different mothers often didn’t get along, but Jeremy and Karen were different. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. They were a desirable example of imperial camaraderie. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

However, we won’t see them together for another month. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Karen will die a month later at the Heren Festival. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

‘Ah, my teeth. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I’m about to burst into tears.’ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

The thought of how much Jeremy had cried when Karen died made me sick. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. As I was alone with my thoughts, I suddenly felt an intense gaze from below. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Hmm, is this brother Jeremy’s wife?”

“Yes, she’s my bride.”

“But she’s got a weird look on her face, like she’s about to cry.”

Oops. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I hadn’t been managing my facial expressions, and how strange I must have looked, crying all by myself in front of the princess. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Hello, Princess.”

I smiled, trying to correct my expression. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Karen blushed slightly and bowed her head. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“Hello.”

Why is she so cute, just like my prince?

To think that someone so cute would be dead in a month’s time, tears welled up in my eyes again. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. But apparently my behavior had misled the emperor. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I feel sorry for you, for marrying a prince when he is not in his right mind.”

“No, that is not the case at all.”

“If it weren’t for the crown prince’s wishes, I would never have arranged a marriage for him.”

What, you were planning on never letting him marry?

‘That’s ridiculous, Your Majesty. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. You have arranged the marriage three times. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. “Are you suggesting that our prince should grow old as a bachelor and die?” “That’s a load of bollocks, Your Majesty. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. You’ve been married three times. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Are you saying that our prince should grow old and die a bachelor, now?’ read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I glanced at the emperor with a hint of displeasure, and then felt a glance from the Empress.

“Your Majesty, I was actually thinking that the prince’s marriage was a very good thing indeed.”

“What do you mean, Empress?”

“You see, don’t the two of them make a very good match indeed, and though they have known each other less than a month, they look as if they have been together for years.”

The Empress’s blue eyes fixed on me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. I involuntarily stiffened under her sharp gaze. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“I hope you will be of much service to the prince.”

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

“Please come by the Empress’s palace sometime and be my companion.”

Ah, now that I think about it, I had also heard that on my previous regression, and even then, the Empress had secretly hoped that I would come to her for company. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Although I only visited her once. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

During our first teatime, she gave me a searching glance. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. But she did not call on me after that, as if I were unwelcome. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

“The Empress has taken a keen interest in you.”

“The bride is beautiful.”

It was Jeremy who intercepted the emperor’s comment to the Empress, and he took my hand, grinning sheepishly, as if he couldn’t feel the emperor’s fierce stare.

“My bride is beautiful, isn’t she? I’m a happy man with the most beautiful woman in the world as my bride.”

Suddenly, all eyes were on me. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there. Not only the emperor, empress, and princess, but also the nobles who were listening to the conversation from around us. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I could see some people sticking their heads out of the corner of my eye, wondering if I was so beautiful that I was worthy of bragging about in front of the emperor.

‘The prince seem to dislike me…….’

I looked at Jeremy with some resentment.

The nobles were asking, ‘Where? Where is the greatest beauty?‘ There was a conflict within me between wanting to shout, ‘Here she is, here she is!‘ and wanting to quietly bow my head and leave.
