Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 82

The Emperor smiled at the report that Princess Madeleine had appeared at the banquet hall. And with a relaxed mind, he headed to the banquet hall with the Empress. There was nothing to worry about.

After carefully checking Vikander's white crystal mine, the Princess was sure that this summer's banquet would end successfully, as always. Also, the Duke of Madeleine and Crown Prince will return the Princess to her rightful place as soon as possible. Everything was perfect.

That was until, as the Emperor entered the hallway leading to the banquet hall, he ran into the Princess coming out fuming with an angry look on her face. The Princess, who came out with a very angry look on her face, also looked at the Emperor and Empress as if she was surprised. And then she smiled brightly and politely. Loud greetings filled the hallway.

"I see you, Your Majesty. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet your two majesties at the banquet on a beautiful night."

But instead of receiving greetings, the Emperor glanced around. The banquet had begun, and the people standing in front of the banquet hall door visible from a distance were servants, not nobles. But the Emperor knew very well that rumors were not good.

The Emperor spoke in a friendly voice while maintaining a smiling face.

"You had a hard time preparing the banquet, Princess. But why is the host of the banquet away?"

At first glance, it seemed like he was concerned about the Princess's' social life. But she, the Princess, knew better than anyone else that the Emperor's eyes were not smiling.

A chill rushed to her back. The moment an Emperor with good eyesight enters the banquet hall, he will realize that the concept of the banquet is the same as the last time. Then, just thinking about the Emperor's wrath gave her goosebumps.

But instead of showing her expression, the Princess smiled.

"The two Supreme Majesties did not come, so I came out for a moment. Everyone was looking forward to the appearance of their two majesties as much as I, the host of the banquet, so my thoughts were short-lived as I only thought about their feelings."

The Emperor frowned for a moment at the smooth words. It was completely different from the angry look on his face a moment ago. A strange premonition crept into his head as he saw the difference in her actions and words. But soon the Empress next to him gently stroked the Emperor's arm.

"Your Majesty. The Princess is talking like that, we need to come in quickly. All the nobles are waiting for you, Your Majesty."

"Okay. I have to go in first."

The uncomfortable feeling did not go away, but the Emperor agreed with the Empress. But,

"Grand Duke!"

Even before the door to the banquet hall was opened, the Emperor had no choice but to shout at the fierce voice.

"What kind of fuss is this!"

In the middle of the banquet hall. The Crown Prince and Maria Ethel are surrounded by nobles forming a circle. And there was a Princess and a Grand Duke. Unlike the Prince's greatly distorted face, the Grand Duke was smiling as if nothing had happened. It couldn't be like this. The Prince lost his dignity and got angry at the Emperor's dog. And that too in front of his dog, who smiles leisurely.

As if cold water had been poured on them, the nobles awkwardly bowed their heads towards the Emperor and Empress. The servant, who had no idea what to do between them, informed the Emperor and Empress of their position.

"Your Majesty the Emperor and the Empress!"

"Hail to the Sun and Moon of the Empire. I see your Majesty the Emperor and the Empress."
