I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 191
* * *
“Hello, Rabbit!”
Bunny Bunny was rolling around in the sunlight. In front of it, Peridot was sitting and drawing the rabbit with pastels.
“Peridot, you were here?”
When Marine greeted him cheerfully, Peridot glanced at the children.
“Yes, Teacher. But who are the children that came with you?”
“Oh my, come to think of it, I don’t even know their names yet.”
When Marine looked down at the children whose hands she was holding, Ronny quickly answered.
“I’m Ronny, and my younger sibling is Mini.”
“I see. Ronny, Mini. Nice to meet you. I’m Marine. This is Peridot.”
“Yes. Lady Marine, Young Master Peridot.”
Marine’s eyes sparkled with admiration at how smartly Ronny answered.
“Ronny is very smart.”
“Thank you.”
Ronny scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.
Peridot watched the children with sparkling eyes.
Reading that look, Marine let go of the children’s hands and gestured to Peridot.
“Peridot, would you like to play with the children?”
“Is that okay?”
Peridot asked with wide eyes.
She had been worried since there were no children Peridot’s age at the Duke’s Castle.
“Of course. Ronny, Mini. That’s fine, right?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah! I like Peridot!”
Mini answered brightly.
She had definitely come to see the rabbit, but the young boy she was meeting for the first time was so pretty.
“Mini, you should say ‘Young Master Peridot.'”
Ronny pointed out maturely.
“I like Peridot, Young Master!”
Peridot shook his head with a flustered face.
“That’s too long for you, so just call me comfortably.”
Peridot spoke kindly to Mini, who was smaller than him.
Marine watched the scene with satisfaction.
He had only seemed young, but it was so adorable how Peridot acted maturely toward a child younger than himself.
“Yeah. Young Master.”
“Mini. You can’t say ‘Yeah’ either. You should say ‘Yes.'”
Ronny quickly instructed Mini while watching the noble young master’s reaction.
“It’s fine. She’s still young. Just do whatever you want.”
“Yeah!”
Peridot found Mini so cute that he grinned.
While the children were having their conversation, Bunny Bunny rolled toward the tree house, watching the children’s reactions.
Marine burst into laughter watching that scene.
It seemed like it sensed things would get bothersome when the children swarmed over, so it was quietly moving away.
“Rabbit, shall we play together?”
When Marine raised her voice, Bunny Bunny’s shoulders flinched up and down, then it increased its rolling speed.
“Rabbit, I want to do that too!”
The rabbit’s rolling must have looked fun because Mini rolled around on the grass floor following the rabbit.
While Ronny was completely flustered by this, Peridot looked excited as if he thought it was a new game.
“Shall we do it too?”
When Peridot asked, Ronny nodded with a resigned expression.
“Yes.”
“Let’s go!”
Soon, a scene unfolded of the children rolling around enthusiastically with Bunny Bunny.
* * *
The Empress was taking a walk in the garden, having left the Empress Palace for the first time in a while.
The leaves full of vitality shone green. The coming summer seemed like it would be very hot.
“Your Imperial Majesty!”
From afar, a beautiful woman came running with her lake-blue hair fluttering. Her sky-blue dress that suited her well trailed long in the wind.
Would a fairy just born from a lake look like that?
Along with admiration for such beauty, a deep headache came over her.
The Empress held her head while looking at the person who had run up to her with a troubled expression.
“7th Imperial Consort.”
Seeing the woman smile brightly as if she couldn’t hide her joy, her expression naturally hardened.
She couldn’t understand why the 7th Imperial Consort always looked so happy whenever she saw her. If she had a tail, it would have been wagging vigorously behind her.
“Yes, Your Majesty. It’s Eira. I’m so excited to see you after such a long time. Are you doing well? You’re not sick anywhere, are you?”
The 7th Imperial Consort acted affectionately and naturally as if she had met a sister.
“Yes.”
The Empress looked at the 7th Imperial Consort while swallowing a sigh.
If another Imperial Consort had asked, it would have sounded like ‘Are you still clinging to the Empress position with that sickly body?’
But there wasn’t a hint of such nuance in the 7th Imperial Consort’s pure face.
That’s why the 7th Imperial Consort was uncomfortable and awkward.
The fact that there wasn’t much age difference between her and her own son the Crown Prince, and that they both served the same Emperor.
“Are you taking a walk? May I join you?”
The 7th Imperial Consort asked warmly, showing her excited heart with expectant eyes.
“I was just about to go back.”
“Ah, I see.”
It was when Eira lowered her head with a dejected face.
“Oh my, what are you all doing here? Anyone would think this is a gathering of His Majesty the Emperor’s women.”
The red-haired 3rd Imperial Consort with sharply raised eye corners approached. She was also the birth mother of the 3rd Princess.
“3rd Imperial Consort. It’s been a while.”
“Indeed, Your Imperial Majesty. To think you’re out here so healthily. The medicine you’re taking these days must be helping.”
The 3rd Imperial Consort covered her mouth with a fan and laughed.
The Empress gave a bitter smile at her greeting.
This was the difference between the 3rd and 7th Imperial Consorts. The skill of being sarcastic like this while pretending to worry about her health.
“Yes. This medicine suits me well. I’ll be able to live well for a long, long time.”
When the Empress answered composedly, the 3rd Imperial Consort curled up the corners of her mouth, not backing down.
“Still, since your body is so frail, rather than being out like this, you should stay in the Empress Palace…”
“3rd Imperial Consort!”
Eira, who had been standing next to the Empress, suddenly interrupted the 3rd Imperial Consort mid-sentence.
The 3rd Imperial Consort turned her gaze to Eira with slightly furrowed brows.
“Oh my, the 7th Imperial Consort was here too. Since there was no greeting, I didn’t even know you were here.”
When the 3rd Imperial Consort spoke with a sharp, sarcastic voice, Eira blinked her eyes innocently.
“I was just having a conversation with Her Imperial Majesty. If your eyesight is that poor, how about not leaving Your Highness the 3rd Imperial Consort’s palace?”
When the Empress couldn’t help but let out a laugh, she hurriedly covered her face with her fan.
“What? No matter how much you’re favored by His Majesty the Emperor—”
Clap!
When Eira suddenly clapped her hands in the air, the 3rd Imperial Consort’s words were cut off again.
“Oh my, there’s a mayfly here.”
“Eira, you wicked thing! How dare you!”
The angry 3rd Imperial Consort’s body trembled violently.
She was from a powerful Marquis House. If only the Emperor hadn’t married the Empress so early, she could have easily sat in that position.
Even that Empress doesn’t disregard her.
“Your Highness the 3rd Imperial Consort. Your face is red. I’m worried you might collapse, so please hurry back to your palace.”
Eira tilted her head to the side and spoke as if she was concerned.
“Eeek!”
The 3rd Imperial Consort couldn’t contain her anger and trembled with rage.
Where did such a little troublemaker come from?
Even if the Emperor cherishes her, she’s merely a Baron’s daughter!
Unable to contain her anger, the 3rd Imperial Consort raised the fan she was holding high.
Then Eira took another step closer to the 3rd Imperial Consort and whispered quietly.
“His Majesty the Emperor is coming to me tonight as well?”
At her words, the 3rd Imperial Consort’s hand trembled violently. She couldn’t bring herself to swing the raised fan at the 7th Imperial Consort.
What a cunning little thing.
Using her head was no ordinary skill.
The rage that had risen to the top of her head cooled down.
Swinging the fan would relieve her frustration, but she didn’t have the confidence to bear the Emperor’s wrath.
“Ha, let’s see how long that favor lasts.”
In the end, the 3rd Imperial Consort struck her own hand with the fan and passed by quickly with cold eyes.
The Empress, who had been watching this scene, smiled bitterly.
Her own situation wasn’t much different from that 3rd Imperial Consort’s.
“Your Imperial Majesty, I apologize for disturbing your peace. I shall also withdraw now, so please enjoy your walk comfortably.”
Eira, who had thoroughly provoked the 3rd Imperial Consort, looked at her with a face that seemed at a loss, reading the situation.
“No. I was thinking of leaving soon anyway.”
“Then… may I escort you to the Empress Palace?”
At the 7th Imperial Consort’s careful request, the Empress couldn’t bring herself to refuse this time and nodded slightly.
