I Won't Accept Your Regrets

Side Story: Part 1

The top graduate of the commoner academy will be a baron!]

[This year, more than 300 commoners entered the academy]

[Three academies for commoners will be built in the southern part of the country]

All of the articles with titles related to the Common People's Academy were in praise of the Imperial family.
It's already been three years since the commoner academy was built. In those three years, Raymond was constantly coming up with relief policies for the commoners and the poor, starting with the Commoner Academy. Naturally, some nobles expressed disapproval of the policy of expanding the welfare of the common people, but they could not resist the emperor.
This was because as soon as Regina disappeared, the power of the aristocracy was dispersed and almost disappeared. In addition, the Dukes of Croft and the Dukes of Droid, the two major dukes of the Empire, naturally bowed their heads to the emperor, and the Imperial power grew stronger.

Elijah drew a faint smile when she saw the article in which they wrote endless praise for the Imperial Family that thought for the public the most among the royal families of all time. As the imperial power became stronger, most of the newspapers were publishing only favorable articles about the Imperial family. In fact, these newspapers were very popular with the common people.
The emperor who has been praised as a saint in the past few years, the empress who first established the academy for commoners, and the crown prince who is doing his best to help the poor, the knights cheered by the people of the Empire were not the lies.
Elijah put the newspaper down on the table after seeing the praise of the Prince she particularly liked in the article.

"Are these all the newspapers?"
Every morning, Elijah was checking all the morning newspapers. Although biased articles were published according to the composition of power, it was easy to see the situation of the empire that she had not yet known by comparing various newspapers.

'But I think there are a few missing today'
Elijah turned to the maid when she saw the last newspaper.

"Oh, that's..."...."
The maid avoided Elijah's gaze with an awkward face.

It seemed that there were articles in the newspapers that I didn't bring would've offended Elijah.

Elijah spoke softly as if she was okay.
"I told you to bring everything because it doesn't matter if it's a bad article. Hurry up and bring it."

"...Yes, Her Majesty."
The maid who left the bedroom soon returned with two newspapers. As soon as Elijah was handed over the newspapers, she wriggled her eyebrows straight to the eye-catching headline.
"Hmm..."

'[The Royal Family is so precious, even the descendants are precious!]
[Will it be okay with just one crown prince?]
[The 8th prince was born in the Lund Kingdom] [What about our Egrita Empire?]'

It was actually an article targeting the Empress by pretending to be worried about the precious Imperial family, who was unable to give birth to more heirs.
One of the Empress' greatest virtues was the production of successors. Therefore, successive Empreses had at least two children, and if the Empress did not have fertility, concubines were used to increase the number of Imperial bloodline.
It was an article that made sense in its own way. Of course, it wasn't a pleasant article.
In fact, words mixed with anxiety about Imperial bloodline have been coming from time to time among nobles since a year ago. Although the Imperial power became stronger, it was not that there were no aristocrats resentful of the Imperial family's actions for the common people.
Since they dare not openly rebel against the emperor, they attack by bringing up Imperial bloodline, the only weakness of the current Imperial family'. Raymond's rebellion dried up the seeds of the Imperial family', and it was true that the Empress currently had no royal children except for the crown prince.
But it's the first time they published an article publicly like this.

Has the solidarity of the nobles become stronger than expected? Elijah furrowed her eyebrows slightly. I have no intention of watching unnecessary forces grow. Just as she thought she was going to check the back of the newspapers, a low voice echoed above her head.
"You have carefully written the bullshit."
Elijah, flinched at the vulgar word and looked up. Then a familiar and beautiful face caught her eyes.
"Your Majesty."
It was none other than Raymond, the Emperor of this country, who uttered words that did not match the dignity of the Imperial Family. Raymond stood next to her as soon as he came. Looking down at the article, he wrinkled his face with an unpleasant look.

It was definitely a snide aiming at her, but Raymond seemed to have been hit harder. Well, he has always been sensitive to this issue.

Whenever words about the Empress's pregnancy came up, Raymond was the first to harden his face. Raymond is sensitive because he knows her physical condition better than anyone else. After the miscarriage of their first child, the two of them had a hard time after being declared to that it would be difficult to have children anymore.
They miraculously gave birth to Carlyle, but both Elijah and Raymond knew it would probably be difficult in the future. In a way, the Empress's pregnancy problem was also their undeniable weakness.
