“Max. Isn’t there some business we could do with Trobancha?”

“You must miss the Prince very much.”

“It’s not necessarily that intention, but I feel like I’m dying from missing the child. Think about it carefully. Wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the Empire if the Emperor, no less, dies young from lovesickness because he can’t overcome it?”

He could no longer suppress his sighs.

If Edith and the Prince didn’t return, it seemed like the Emperor would sell the Empire to Trobancha just to see them both.

‘It’s remarkable he didn’t make him Crown Prince.’

Marius said it didn’t make sense for his son to remain as a foreigner in the Empire when his father was the Emperor, so he bestowed upon him the title of Prince and gave him a dukedom.

However, both Edith and Marius agreed to leave the matter of imperial succession to their son’s choice.

Therefore, the Crown Prince position remained vacant.

But…

‘He’s the spitting image of His Majesty, so there’s no way he’d refuse the throne.’

His warm disposition resembled Edith, but his greedy personality and smooth attitude increasingly reminded one of Marius in many ways.

“Max. Won’t I retire faster than Edith?”

“If you retire, what will happen to the Empire?”

Since he has no son, he just keeps spouting nonsense.

It would be nice if Edith would retire quickly and take care of this man.

Max placed his hopes on something that wouldn’t be easily achieved today as well.

In fact, Max never even thought the Emperor would respect Edith.

Since he was someone who had eliminated his own bloodline with his own hands to protect the throne, Max speculated that at some point he might try to forcibly take Edgar away.

Then Edith would naturally have no choice but to follow him, allowing him to have both the woman he loved and his son simultaneously.

However, instead of taking violent measures, Marius captivated them both with abundant love.

“Before the Prince left, he clearly said not to have strange thoughts just because he wasn’t there, and to wait just a little.”

Looking at it this way, he seems to resemble Edith more than His Majesty.

What’s certain is that the son is more mature than his father.

“Please accept this.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a letter from Duke Runtvolleney.”

“From Edgar? Is that guy not doing well with Lilliana either?”

Even during vacations, Edgar chose not to return to the Empire but to stay stuck in Trobancha dating.

So if that guy contacted him, it was only when there were urgent national matters to discuss or report.

But this time, even the envelope and seal were different.

“Oh my.”

Marius clicked his tongue briefly after checking the letter.

“What should we do about our Edgar?”

“Huh? By any chance, was he rejected?”

Having watched the children since they were young, Max believed the two were very well-suited for each other.

Most importantly, Edgar had become a completely different person since Lilliana returned to the Empire as an exchange student.

He became full of life with clear goals, which looked very good even from a third party’s perspective.

“He wasn’t rejected, but it seems like he will be. My only younger brother is struggling and doesn’t know what to do, so shouldn’t his older brother go comfort and advise him?”

“Huh?”

“Max. Prepare. We leave in two days.”

“Huuuh?”

There’s no way an Emperor’s sudden visit to a foreign country could be arranged simply.

Not only preparations in his own country, but there are dozens of matters to request and communicate to the visiting country.

It should be prepared at least two months in advance, but to finish it in two days?

“I’m counting on you, Max.”

Please don’t count on me. I want to write my resignation.

Ugh.

Max once again threw his resignation letter into the trash, thinking of his tiger-like wife and wolf-like children at home.

Antonio was the most popular actor in the Trobancha National Theater.

He received the youngest acting award and was recognized for his genius talent, plus he was handsome and had good showmanship.

Thanks to this, the play that was originally scheduled for four months was extended repeatedly, continuing for eight months.

‘It was the right answer to threaten to leave the troupe if they extended it again.’

Otherwise, it would have continued until next year.

After partying until sunrise and finally returning home, Antonio was startled and held his breath when he saw a huge body sprawled at the entrance.

Looking closely, it was Edgar.

“Didn’t I tell you not to come into my house as you please?”

I never even gave him a key, so how did he get in?

Although he was in a position of playing and eating at Edgar’s house all the time, Antonio was as shameless now as he was before.

“Ugh. The smell of alcohol.”

This kid wasn’t one to get this drunk.

Even when Edgar drank, it was only to the extent of having one or two glasses of wine with meals.

‘Did he fight with Lilliana?’

Otherwise, there’s no way Edgar would be struggling like this.

He was greatly recognized as a diplomat and received deep trust from the Emperor, his cousin.

Most importantly, under the heavens, only Lilliana could shake Edgar like this.

Edgar came to his senses around the time Antonio woke up from a nap and was having breakfast.

Edgar, looking haggard, staggered and asked.

“Give me some water.”

“Go get it yourself.”

Though he replied curtly, Antonio served Edgar water along with a bowl of tomato soup that was good for hangovers.

“Did Lilliana dump you? She said she doesn’t want to marry you?”

“I wish that were the case.”

“What’s wrong then?”

“She told me she was going to group practice, but actually went to Aranos Island for a friend’s wedding. Why did she lie?”

“She can lie sometimes.”

“What? Are you kidding me?”

Over the past few years, there had been no problems between them.

Lilliana would honestly confess even the most embarrassing secrets, and Edgar never missed a date no matter how busy he was.

Edgar, who had been anxiously shaking his leg, asked.

“Damiano, what’s that bastard doing these days?”

“He went abroad to study last year.”

There’s that obsession again. Antonio shook his head.

Edgar’s love for Lilliana was excessive in some ways.

When Lilliana graduated from art school and started living alone, even though Antonio lived next door, Edgar deliberately moved to the house across from her.

So he would stop by briefly before work to prepare meals and see her face, and on days when Lilliana came home late, he would pick her up from anywhere and bring her to her front door.

Thanks to this, the happy person was Andrea.

Because he gained confidence that his younger sister, like a daughter to him, was safer than anyone else.

‘Not knowing that Edgar is the most dangerous guy.’

Well, Edgar was trusted by Andrea in many ways.

Because his points of comparison were Marius and Francois.

“There must be a reason. Don’t you trust Liliana that much? I’m completely disappointed.”

“That’s…”

Though he hadn’t told anyone, Edgar had his reasons for everything.

“Actually, I think Lilliana is getting a bit tired of me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“She’s asked me several times recently.”

Edgar. You prefer blonde hair over black hair, don’t you? Usually people are attracted to those similar to themselves.

“That’s strange talk. What does blonde hair matter? I wouldn’t care if Lilliana had red hair or green hair.”

It’s like she’s testing how I feel about other girls.

Edgar couldn’t overcome his anxious worry and his hand holding the cup trembled, causing water to spill over.

Antonio, unable to watch any longer, snatched the cup away and clicked his tongue.

“Lily’s been going around singing about wanting to dye her hair lately. That’s probably why.”

“No. She told me last time that we don’t seem to suit each other.”

Edgar. I’m not short either, but you’re so tall that I look like a cicada clinging to an old tree.

“I don’t know why she keeps saying things like that when she’s the one clinging to this cicada. She doesn’t want to pick a fight and break up, does she?”

Now Edgar was on the verge of tears.

‘I’m a lightweight, so it’s not like I’m still drunk, right?’

Antonio frowned and mulled over what he’d heard several times to make sure he’d heard correctly.

“Lastly… every time we meet lately, she keeps going back and forth. Getting angry, then crying, then suddenly laughing… She must be sick of me…”

This is driving me crazy. Lily, what the hell did you do to this guy?

Edgar came all the way to Trobancha because of her, but she only spouted strange things.

On top of that, her behavior became weird too, so it was natural for Edgar to feel anxious.

“Do you know who she went to the island with?”

“I don’t know.”

Their relationship had continued since they were six years old, so they’d been together for almost 20 years.

So it wouldn’t be strange if she was getting tired of it.

But Edgar, far from getting tired, was becoming someone who couldn’t live without his girlfriend as days went by.

When the sunlight was nice, he missed her because the sunlight was nice, and when delicious food came out at dinner, he thought of Lilliana first.

‘When I saw little kids on the street, I only thought about wanting to have a daughter and son like that someday in the distant future…’

While waiting for the days they’d spend together, he thought it would be good to prepare in advance, so he even bought a house a few months ago.

Once the remodeling was finished, he planned to show it to Lilliana.

‘I planned to use it as our newlywed home after marriage, and before that, give Lily the keys as a gift for her to stay there.’

Though he wasn’t sure if his gift would have any meaning now.

Edgar, still not fully sober, couldn’t overcome the surging emotions and buried his face in the sofa with a thud.

“This is a nightmare. Yes. It must be a nightmare.”

“As you said, it seems like Berchio blood that’s loyal to women flows in your family.”

Otherwise, how could he be this hopeless.

Antonio watched the despairing Edgar and picked up his keys.

“Hey man. You just sober up. This hyung will go find out for you.”
