The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

079

It’s been several years now, but the mansion is almost the same as Rudy’s memory.

However, there was a hole in part of the fence surrounding the mansion, and the entrance was a little more messy due to weeds.

It must have been difficult to manage as there was no one to work except for the nanny and Marie.

The number of livestock also increased slightly.

It wasn’t a new arrival, it was thanks to the guys who were raising them giving birth.

It was unnatural to have livestock in the imperial palace, but when a healthy male and female were together, young were born.

In particular, the number of chickens and ducks has increased significantly.

While entering the building from the entrance of the mansion, chickens and ducks were running around and around.

“Thanks to that, I ate chicken ducks and eggs without any problems. Besides, when I was outside the imperial palace, it was a really big deal for mice to bite the chicks, but here, mice don’t bite the chicks. Guernsey.”

Marie said with a bright smile.

It’s because of the monsters.

Even when leaving this place, even when calling from the other side to give magic power, I have been ordered to do everything that can be done in this mansion. It was also their job to look after the livestock.

The inside of the building is a bit cluttered.

Basic cleaning is being done, but neither the nanny nor Mari do not know how to use magic tools properly.

Because of that, I think it was less efficient than when Rudy was there.

The poor health of the nanny may also have played a part.

The nanny, who had been correct, even though she had a sore back when Rudy left, was now a completely crooked old woman.

The doctor who made Nadia Mama’s medicine once examined the nanny’s illness.

It seems that he collapsed once as the disease progressed. He had heard that he had met with a doctor somewhere else without the empress’ knowledge through the arrangement of the chamberlain, while she was over there.

According to the doctor, judging from the condition of the body, it would not be strange if he had already died.

It seems that the measures Rudy implemented with My Ink helped a little.

I thought it would be okay when I saw it on CCTV, but I can understand it when I see it in person. won’t live long I could die right now, even tomorrow.

“Because you’ve become so great. I knew. I knew Rudy would definitely become Mama’s son.”

Rudy smiled a little at the sight of the nanny’s delight.

A person’s life depends on the sky. No matter how much you struggle with human power, you die when you die.

I knew that, but it broke my heart to see the nanny happy to come home with a toothless face.

‘Please, so that I can spend my daily life with a little bit of happiness.’

My nose got cold.

Rudy moved his steps while holding Princess Lilitha’s buttocks with both hands.

Upon arriving at the mansion, the attendant gave a brief explanation of Rudy’s work.

Upon hearing what had happened, Mari seemed to be taken aback by the tremendous story and lay on the ground for a while, not knowing what to do.

If it wasn’t for Princess Rilisha, it would still be like that.

But when you see Lilitha clinging to Rudy with her arms and legs like a frog, no one can stay nervous for long.

In the end, after trying to take it off a few times, everyone laughed. Years of time filled up in an instant.

Nadia Mama has surprisingly not changed. Her youthful appearance and condition were still the same.

What was unexpected was that Rudi did not forget to wait for the words he had said that he was studying next to the emperor.

Like the other times, this time I thought my mind would come and go as time passed. However, Mama Nadia said that she made clothes and waited for him, estimating how Rudy would have grown.

Despite the attendant’s explanation that he was engaged to Princess Lilitha, he only nodded slightly lonely.

If His Majesty decided so, that’s it, he muttered.

Marie quickly brought dried herbs from the kitchen and served hot tea.

Chairs were brought to the round table where Mama Nadia was eating and everyone sat down.

We drank tea for a while and talked about the past.

Princess Lilitha started studying, but complained that she ran away every time and made no progress, the fact that her nanny was in despair at not being like a princess at all, and the story of a family of cats and goats who appeared one day and settled in the garden…

Daily life in the mansion passed quietly and gently. Listening to it warmed my heart.

Rudy told them stories from the outside world.

The appearance of the castle sitting on the top of a high mountain, small flowers blooming everywhere, birds and falcons hunting for the first time, accommodations and shops that the emperor’s procession passed through, and foreign people different from the empire…

“Oh, and I have a present.”

Rudy turned his head slightly as he spoke, and the attendant stepped forward.

When you enter the mansion, you need the eyes of others. Rudy brought two attendants here.

While Rudy and the women talked, two attendants were carrying a mountain of boxes from a wagon into the building.

Lilitha, who had been clinging to Rudy’s arms with her arms and legs, jumped up and ran toward the gift box.

Rudy and the girls laughed a little when they saw that.

Small and large boxes contain sweet snacks, fabrics, and exotic fruits purchased from various stores.

Princess Lilitha opened the boxes one by one with her eyes shining brightly.

He is said to be 9 years old, but looking at him like that, he still looks like a 3-year-old.

Princess Lilitha was born around the end of November, so she is quite young compared to the same 9-year-old.

However, I heard that 8 or 9 year olds of the imperial family are quite precocious.

In the case of princesses, they study less than princes, but they learn etiquette strictly from an early age.

On the other hand, it was after Rudy left that Princess Lilitha got a tutor. Compared to the other princesses, she is quite slow.

Until then, the nanny taught little by little, with no outside contact whatsoever.

Rudy sighed lightly.

The emperor doesn’t seem to want much from Lilitha. He seems to think that just sitting next to Rudy like a decoration is fine.

Perhaps it was the emperor’s concern.

Even so, Rudy is the body that becomes the emperor from the position of the princess’s consort. If the princess is too smart or too conspicuous, Rudy’s presence may fade in the future.

So, the emperor tried his hand here and there to ensure that Rudi could receive all the halo of the imperial palace instead of the princess.

He makes them wear fancy clothes, and places the oldest among his attendants and the sorcerer next to Rudy.

It was for this reason that the title conferment was in a hurry, like roasting beans over lightning.

What makes the empire strong is that the consciousness of being a man possessing magical powers is rooted in the head of the emperor.

But I don’t want to leave it as an ornament.

The reason why Rilisha is obsessed with Rudy right now is because she is young. Lilitha doesn’t know what love is, what family bond is like. Just because we’ve been together since we were young, I’m obsessed with Rudy without knowing anything about it.

So it was easy to imagine.

In the distant future, maybe there will come a day when Lilitha will fall in love with someone.

Human beings will fall in love at least once in their lifetime. There are people who never go out with someone in their lifetime, but there is no one who does not have a first love. That’s why there is such a thing as first love.

When that time comes, I want to make her love come true. I don’t want to be with her even after I die, but I want Rilisha to be happy. I don’t want to see Lilitha crying every night, anxious for love.

Although he didn’t know what the situation would be like, Rudy thought that he might step down after making Rilisha the empress.

If it doesn’t work, there may be a way to make her stay with the other man under her acquiescence.

Besides, I only feel like a niece to Princess Rilisha. I didn’t think this feeling would change to how I treat women.

The husband of the child who used to change diapers, I think everyone would feel the same way.

Looking at Princess Lilitha with a bright smile on her lips with a snack in the box, Rudy smiled.

Seriously, I can’t imagine a child like that becoming my future wife.

‘But please love a decent man. I don’t think I can forgive someone who is so pathetic.’

I’ve never been married or had children, but somehow my heart was a father.

***

Around the time Rudi was having meetings with women at the mansion, Crown Prince Roberto was on his way to his residence reeling.

Since when did your father know about his illness? From the looks of it, life won’t be long.

I thought the bond between father and son was gone. He said he no longer loved his father.

But it broke my heart to see my father so emaciated that I couldn’t recognize him.

Roberto realized he was in tears and covered his face with his hands.

The attendant in front stops and waits.

After standing for a while, Roberto started walking again.

The conferment of the title of Duke of Moreno was held in a place reputed to be the most beautiful among several halls in the Imperial Palace.

Although not very large, the hall’s walls and chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling are all inlaid with jewels.

All the furnishings in the hall were of the highest quality, which was difficult to find even in the imperial palace.

It was a hall open only for very special ceremonies.

For example, the crowning ceremony of the crown prince.

“Kuk, hehehe!”

A self-deprecating laugh broke out. A voice, whether crying or laughing, echoed in the hallway.

The attendant who went ahead must have heard his voice, but did not look back.

The coronation ceremony took place in the absence of the mother empress.

After a short banquet to welcome the returning emperor after a long absence, the mother left without seeing her father.

The Crown Princess was also with them. It seems that she, too, knew what kind of title the Duke of Moreno was. With a hard face, he supported his mother and left.

The father emperor was chatting with nobles as if he hadn’t seen it.

But it wasn’t that I didn’t see it, it was that I was waiting for my mother to leave.

As soon as the mother left the banquet hall, the attendants closed all the open doors and opened the door to the other side.

Roberto and the other princes and nobles had no choice but to go in the direction the attendants guided them.

The same was true of Roberto’s patrons, nobles connected to his mother’s empress, and those who were aiming for the throne while joking around with other princes.

Neutralists who did not understand the situation properly, or delegates who attended on behalf of the head of the party were the same.

The hall guided by the attendants is the splendid hall where the coronation ceremony was held.

After the conferring ceremony, a grand banquet was held. The banquet held before the coronation ceremony was so grand that it made you think it was just a tea party.

How long ago had the attendant and his father’s officials been preparing for the position?

From one to ten, it was an extravagant banquet that was unprecedented even in the imperial palace.

The banquet was still going on, but as the emperor and Rudy, Duke of Moreno, left, an attendant approached Roberto and gave him a tip.

They said that the emperor had ordered them to go to the prince’s residence immediately.

My heart was pounding.

Now that the golden child has been given the title of duke, he will be kicked out of the position of crown prince.

Maybe my father is waiting there to tell the story.

When you meet your father, say your last goodbye quietly. Maybe you’ll never see it again. Before you bring up the word that your father is dethroning the Crown Prince, before you say that you are dethroning, you must reveal your intention to step down.

He thought that putting his old and sick father at ease and leaving was the last father-son bond left for Roberto and his pride.

However, as I approached the prince’s residence, I felt something strange in the tumultuous atmosphere.

The Crown Princess was crying in the hallway.

The same goes for his wife’s maids.

Everyone is shedding tears as if their eyes were collapsing.

“What’s going on?”

When Roberto asked, the Crown Princess came running and cried out in front of him.

“His Highness Roberto! What kind of action is this? I have to leave this place right now. They didn’t even give me time to take care of my valuables! It’s His Majesty’s order, and this is really too…”

“What! Father, where is His Majesty?”

“Your Majesty? What are you talking about, Your Highness? You are not here.”

“You say you’re not here?”

Roberto made his way through the weeping crowd and went inside.

Attendants are packing goods with servants. The chief chamberlain was standing in the middle, directing the people with a calm expression.

“Chief Chamberlain! What is this?”

Chamberlain Reynolds lowered his head slightly and said.

“Forgive me, Roberto. Your Majesty’s order has come to leave quickly. There are already several carriages outside the palace, so you only need to take your valuables with you. I will take care of the items here and send them to you.”

Are you Roberto?

Not His Highness the Crown Prince, but Mr. Roberto?

As Roberto stared blankly at the chamberlain, Reynolds approached and bowed his head.

“I’m sorry. Please give me the seal.”

The seal slipped from Roberto’s dazed finger and fell into the hands of the chief chamberlain.

“Have I already been disbanded?”

“Yes, the paperwork has already been filed before the coronation of His Highness the Duke of Moreno.”

“My father….”

“Your Majesty has already said you’d better leave without meeting. Instead, I have the letter.”

Reynolds held out a waxed envelope from his bosom.

Roberto looked down at it blankly.

‘My father doesn’t even accept the final goodbye.’

He was an ugly son, but he wanted to leave, leaving behind his wonderful image in his eyes. But that doesn’t seem to be allowed either.

“How am I going to be?”

Reynolds answered Roberto’s question calmly.

“We have prepared a peaceful manor with a mild climate. The water is also stable, so you won’t have any difficulties in your life.”

“The opportunity to meet my father…”

“It depends on the empress. If the empress quietly accepts the situation, there will be a chance. But if the empress does something, there will be no chance.”

“Yeah, got it.”

Roberto briefly looked at his father’s letter.

“Bee, can my wife go with me?”

Reynolds was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

“I said no, but Your Majesty allowed it. The two of you got along very well, so he said it was okay.”

Reynolds bowed deeply.

“Please, do not repay Your Majesty’s kindness with evil. Please convince your wife to accept this situation. If your wife complains, even Roberto-sama is in danger. Making her leave so quickly is also because Her Majesty is trying to prevent the Empress from using you. ‘s care…”

“Yes, I know.”

He fully understands that what happens next depends not on his father, but on his mother and his wife.

“Tell your father that he wishes you long life.”

“Yes, take care of yourself.”

Roberto quietly turned away.

The sound of his wife’s wails resounding in the hallway pounded his heart painfully.
