Western Court‧Cold Brother (9-10)

Chapter 9

The new season soon arrived in July, and in the cool breeze of summer, 20,000 imperial troops were ready to go to the northern plateau where the rebellion had begun.

The general leading the army is naturally the Duke of Valentino, who is in sole control of the military. Although César is only twenty-three years old, he has experienced countless small battles since he joined the army, and he has never lost a single battle.

Even the nobles in the empire who were dissatisfied with his monopoly on power had to admit that he was almost invincible.

Even so, Ye Xuan's heart tightened when she heard that César was going to lead the army in person.

After she travels, her memory and emotions will be affected by the original owner. This is a function designed by the examination system to enable candidates to better integrate into the world of time travel, called 「empathy」.

Because of her empathy with Margaery, Ye Xuan's feelings for César are genuine and without any impurities.

Although she approached César intending to conquer him, in fact, the process of conquering him was also to satisfy her emotional desire to make César fall in love with her.

Even though she knew she was leaving after completing her mission, Ye Xuan couldn't help but worry about César.

But César seemed to turn a blind eye to this worry. Since that day, he told Ye Xuan that he was going to assassinate Rey, and was opposed by Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan sensitively found that César alienated herself again.

Although they still spend the night together from time to time, Ye Xuan has not had good communication with César for a long time on the pretext of preparing for the expedition.

Sure enough, that step was wrong.

But if Ye Xuan had to do it again, she thought she would probably choose the same answer.

For a moment, not knowing how to make amends, Ye Xuan and César were in a stalemate and finally waited for the day of the expedition.

According to tradition, the Queen needs to bid farewell to the troops at the expedition ceremony.

Ye Xuan put on a complicated and luxurious dress, her black hair was tied up high, and on top of her hair was a dazzling diamond crown.

Annie tied up the broken hair for her because this was the last step of the work. The maids had already withdrawn, and they were the only two in the room.

Annie hesitated for a while and then said softly: 「Lily, at today's farewell party, please be soft in front of the Duke.」

The Duke she mentioned naturally refers to César, probably because Annie's voice was still a little stiff when referring to César in the garden last time.

She saw that the relationship between her friend and César was getting colder and colder, and she had to worry about Margaery.

Everyone in the palace knows that Her Majesty the Queen, who seems to be extremely noble, is actually just a puppet of Duke Valentino.

The queen has a status but no real power. If one day César wants to rebel, Margaery may not even have the power to resist.

Annie grew up with Margaery and knew that this princess had no political ambitions.

Therefore, Margaery might be a little happier to be her empty-headed queen with peace of mind.

But this also led to a consequence--Margaery had to live by César's face.
