I Married a Terminally Ill Emperor

Chapter 90

The noble lady’s eyes turned malicious.

Wasn’t it common courtesy to pretend not to hear even if you did? The Princess was clearly trying to humiliate her on purpose.

The noble lady bit her lips and stared directly at the Princess.

“Princess, I have something I’m curious about. May I ask?”

“Shouldn’t you eat your food first? That was quite loud.”

The Princess extending the plate had a disgustingly genuine look of concern on her face.

“I don’t need it! Are you perhaps avoiding my question?”

The noble lady shouted sharply.

“I don’t even know what your question is, so why would I have reason to avoid it?”

Dahlia tilted her head with a genuinely curious expression and asked.

At this, the noble lady trembled alone as if indignant, then glared fiercely at Dahlia. She intended to clearly see that face become distorted.

“Then I’ll ask directly. Is there a reason the wedding is in 3 months? Everyone is curious about why your wedding is proceeding so quickly.”

The noble lady raised her voice so it could be heard from far away.

“That was my biggest question too. Even noble weddings aren’t prepared that briefly…”

“Unless there’s some unspeakable reason.”

Other noble ladies chimed in one by one with sarcasm disguised as curiosity.

Dahlia looked at the noble lady who spoke last and smiled brightly.

You’re right. There is an unspeakable reason. Would you believe me if I said we’re marrying because of the world’s destruction?

When Dahlia only smiled without answering, the noble lady who first spoke wore a knowing sneer.

“As expected, you can’t answer. So it really was that reason.”

“Pardon?”

As Dahlia looked puzzled, the noble lady’s gaze dropped to Dahlia’s stomach.

Dahlia followed her gaze down to her own stomach.

“Annie, did I eat too much? Is my stomach sticking out?”

“No.”

Annie, who guessed the noble lady’s intention, shook her head while watching the noble lady with displeased eyes.

Meanwhile, Dahlia still looked clueless, and the noble lady frowned as if frustrated.

Is this Princess naive, or pretending to be naive?

“I’m asking if you’ve already formed a special bond with His Majesty.”

Finally, a question with blatant implications came from the noble lady’s mouth.

Dahlia was startled by the unexpected words and looked at Annie to confirm if she understood correctly.

Annie nodded while looking at the noble lady with cold eyes.

“Noble lady. I’ve never had such thoughts, but you have quite a bold way of thinking. What kind of books do you usually read to have such remarkable thoughts?”

Dahlia looked at the noble lady with admiring eyes.

As a result, the noble lady who tried to humiliate Dahlia instead became the bold noble lady who had lewd imaginations.

The noble lady’s face turned red as she looked around nervously.

“It wasn’t my thought. I just heard such rumors going around-“

That’s when it happened.

“Noble lady, you need to be careful with your words. Did you forget what Emperor Gray just said? To show the same respect to Princess Dahlia as you would to His Majesty.”

Marchioness Mary Sondo appeared and spoke sternly.

At her words, the noble lady hung her head with a deflated expression.

“I’m sorry, Marchioness.”

“You shouldn’t apologize to me. Apologize to Princess Dahlia.”

“Princess, I spoke carelessly after hearing false rumors.”

The noble lady, intimidated by the Marchioness, obediently apologized.

As Dahlia was about to speak, the Marchioness spoke first.

“Noble lady, repeating what you’ve heard is also problematic. What if what you said were actually true? How could the Princess hold her head up in the future? Isn’t that right, Princess?”

Dahlia met the Marchioness’s eyes. It seemed like words of concern for her, but somehow felt meaningful.

Was she giving a roundabout warning that such things shouldn’t happen? Was she worried about the Emperor and Empress’s reputation as an aunt?

“Don’t worry, Marchioness.”

“I’m not worried. Because I trust you, Princess.”

Despite her gentle tone, her voice carried a warning. Absolutely don’t create such situations.

So it was a warning after all.

“Now, noble ladies. Let’s withdraw so the Princess can dine comfortably.”

The Marchioness smiled and led the noble ladies away.

Dahlia quietly watched her retreating figure. She was certainly kind, yet somehow felt uncomfortable.

At that moment, someone called her.

“Dahlia.”

Turning around, Princess Tiara and Crown Prince Poseidon were standing there.

One mountain after another. Who would have thought they’d come.

Dahlia looked at the Crown Prince with a tense expression.

“Hello. Crown Prince Poseidon, Your Highness. Tiara.”

“It’s not a good day, Princess. I clearly told you I was proposing to you, yet you announced your marriage to Emperor Gray. Did you ignore my words?”

The Crown Prince openly expressed his displeasure.

Dahlia inwardly swallowed a sigh and looked directly at the Crown Prince.

“I clearly told Your Highness then that I had no intention of marrying you.”

“You did. You said you didn’t like men. Then His Majesty the Emperor must be a woman?”

When the Crown Prince spoke with obvious sarcasm, Dahlia lost her words and looked at him with bewildered eyes.

Isn’t this just like a child who had his candy taken away?

“Elder Brother, stop it with my best friend.”

“What? Best friend? Why is a princess from a foreign country your best friend?”

The Crown Prince turned his gaze to Tiara standing beside him with a surprised face.

“She’s pretty.”

“Hmm, that’s a valid reason.”

The Crown Prince immediately nodded.

“Right. And Dahlia choosing His Majesty the Emperor over Elder Brother is the same logic. Elder Brother simply lost in terms of looks.”

Tiara coldly pointed out the facts.

“Really?”

Poseidon widened his eyes and looked at Dahlia again.

At their banter-like conversation, Dahlia just blinked blankly, then nodded at Tiara’s look that urged her to play along.

“…Yes. I fell for His Majesty the Emperor’s beauty.”

“Haah… That’s a reason I can’t help but accept.”

Really? With this?

Dahlia looked at Annie beside her with an expression asking if she was the only one having trouble following this conversation. She could see Annie pressing her temples as if she had a headache.

Right, I wasn’t the only one who thought this was strange.

This sibling pair’s obsession with beauty really exceeded ordinary people’s common sense.

However, if they understood easily, it was actually good for her.

Dahlia slightly bowed her head toward the Crown Prince in greeting.

“Thank you for understanding.”

“But while I may give up on the Princess, I cannot give up on the Kingdom of Foevern.”

Dahlia raised her face with a hardened expression.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I mean I cannot just watch the Kingdom of Foevern be swallowed by the Ruusephon Empire.”

At Crown Prince Poseidon’s direct words, Dahlia looked at him with serious eyes.

“That will never happen.”

“How would you prove that?”

It was when Crown Prince Poseidon’s eyes flashed sharply.

“I will prove it.”

Someone slowly stepped forward from behind. The nobles moved aside to let her pass.

Sweet honey-like blonde hair. Intense yellow eyes that resembled the sun. A tall, beautiful woman walked toward them with confident steps.

“Who are you?”

Crown Prince Poseidon looked at her with surprised eyes.

Dahlia also stared at the woman with a dazed gaze.

How is she here?

The woman who smiled warmly at Dahlia opened her mouth toward Crown Prince Poseidon with a cold voice.

“It’s been a while, Your Highness Crown Prince Poseidon.”

“It’s been a while, Your Majesty Queen Camilla Foevern.”

He bowed his head slightly in greeting.

It was the appearance of Queen Foevern.
