Remarried Empress

Chapter 174. A sense of heterogeneity. 1

“Oh, Quinn, you said you liked gold, right?”

“The letter. Did you see it?”

“Yes. By the time I left, the room wasn’t ready yet……”

I heard a low laugh from Hein-ri.

“Maybe by the time we get there, it’ll be well decorated in gold. Look forward to it.”

“I like gold, but the room doesn’t have to be gold.”

“Well, he’s gold.”

“!”

“If I lie next to you, my vision will be all gold.”

“I’m going to turn around and sleep.

“In the same position as now?”

“!”

I grabbed the reins as hard as I could not forget that this was above the horse.

Heinley was like this all along the horse.

To speak lightly, at one point embarrassingly blatantly brought up the story that we are a couple.

Every time I was surprised and had to keep scratching the reins.

Whenever he kept saying things like “whether he was a husband or wife or a couple,” his face heated up for no reason.

But it’s not like I can’t say anything like that.…

“By the way, Queen. You know what? There is no palace in the West.”

“Then where do I sleep?”

“There are three rooms side by side on the same floor, one in the middle of which is the public bedroom, and the other room next to it is the Queen’s and the King’s.”

“Why would you have to……?”

Wouldn’t that be too inconvenient?

No matter how good a couple is, sometimes they want to be completely alone, and we’re even married in politics…….

There was a quiet laugh again by Hein-li.

“Oh. We use a special bed.”

Talking about bed here, does that mean you’re looking forward to your first night?

I’m so surprised that my eyes are tense.

But Heinley’s voice was not mischievous and serious this time.

It didn’t seem to have given me a dirty word.

So the bed is really special?

Either way, it’sir.I’d like to get off the horse for now.

When I finally saw the border, I let out a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that I could get out of this embarrassing position.

But the tension, which had been relieved at best, returned when he saw the wagon, the guards, and Lord McKenna, waiting just behind the border.

I slowly slowed down my horse and crossed the border into them.

When the horse stopped completely, two guards of the West Kingdom approached and held the reins.

In the meantime, Heinley got off the horse first and reached out his hand to me.

As she held his hand and went down, McKenna came close and greeted me first, and then asked questions to Hein-ri.

“Your Highness, I’m sure you’ve sent two horses, why only one?”

Two?

As I stared at his words, Hein-li shook her head expressionlessly and said,

“You must have made a mistake, McKenna.”

“What? What kind of mistake is that? I’m sure I sent two.”

“There was only one.”

Hainley, who spoke calmly, glanced at me.

When his eyes met, he laughed, saying McKenna made a lot of small mistakes.

As McKenna frowned from behind, I smiled and shook my head, but belatedly looked closely at the faces of the guards and looked grave.

The guards, who would have come out to escort Heinley, seemed to be trying to keep a straight face, but there was a clear indication of embarrassment on their eyelids and lips.

McKenna noticed my expression and said with a smile of relief.

“You must be very surprised to see the queen in front of you, whom you’ve heard only from the grapevine.”

……I don’t think that’s what it means.

I don’t think I can tell the difference between a look of emotion and a look of embarrassment.

But if we panic here together, the atmosphere will get even more weird.

I pretended to be calm and laughed quietly.

McKenna sensibly opened the prepared carriage door quickly.

“Go in, Your Grace.”

……I don’t know if it’s good-witted or bad.

I can’t believe you’re calling me Queen all the time.

I looked silent to him, feeling like I was running away, and quickly went into the carriage.

However, even after entering the carriage, the eyes of the guards I saw earlier were not easily erased from my mind.

He’s expressionless and even the guards who should be good at it.

How will the people of the West look at me when they will meet in person in society?

What about the people you’ve met in the Eastern Empire when you were empress?

The scenery seen outside the window was slightly different from that of the Eastern Empire, and from here on out, we should be relieved that we would not be tracked down by Sohoshu.

The mind became more complicated than it was when it came running on horseback.

‘It’s okay. You can do it. You just have to do well.’

As I was reciting the spell inside, Hein-li called me softly, “Queen.”

He was sitting across from me and looking at me.

When we eyeballed together, the friendly eyes curled thinly.

Heinley leaned slightly down, and said, carefully covering my hand with his own hand.

“It’s all right. Quinn is the empress who has no choice but to love anyone.”

I wouldn’t have gotten divorced if I had……

Heinley tends to think too highly of me.

Even when I was crumpled in a box, I was amazed that it was like a scene in a myth.

Is it because of this?

Heinley’s consolation was not very helpful to me.

But you’re comforting me, so I’ll have to adjust to that.

“Thank you. It’s encouraging.”

I nodded to him with a smile, but I couldn’t relax until the carriage finally stopped.

Fortunately, after Sovishu brought in Rasta, he got used to receiving people’s curious eyes.

To accept that gaze as if it were calm.

When I arrived at the palace at Deoktaek and got off the carriage, I could even smile calmly at the sight of the numerous courtiers.

But the heart trembled with strange tension.

Curiosity, worry, expectation, interest, displeasure……

Dozens of eyes with countless emotions have even brought about the optical illusion that sparkles like chandeliers.

I smiled and folded Heinley’s arms to make them look as fancy as possible.

To see if it worked, they paused for a moment and bowed down with discipline.

“I see you and your queen.”

* * *

“Your eyes are shining very brightly.”

After the courtesans were bitten.

Holding my hand to take you to the room, Ha In-ri murmured, as if she was in a daze, all the way up the stairs.

At the same time, he often looked sideways at me to see if he was worried that he was offended.

His eyes seemed to be enormous.

“It’s all right.”

He answered calmly, but Heinley snapped, “I’m not okay.”

“I appealed so hard because I wanted to have Queen as my queen. Even if you hit the candle……”

“Because there’s not much of the king’s arbitrary marriage.”

“That’s true.”

“And you brought a divorced empress from the next country, not the noble spirit of the West?”

Heinley smiled and bowed his head.

But laughter is only for a moment. Still, his expression was not good.

McKenna, who was going up with us, said, taking notice of me.

“You don’t have to worry, Your Highness. There are a lot of people who like the story that the Empress of the Great East is going to be our queen.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course.”

But most of the people who came out earlier said ‘surprised’ on their faces.

I thought of the expression and laughed silently.

Unlike Heinna and McKenna’s worries, I wasn’t in a bad mood.

It’s a whole new environment, and I’m nervous, but…….

McKenna once again came out and looked at Heinley and said,

“It’s one thing to be surprised at the real thing. It’s a little. You must have been surprised. Still, there must have been a lot of people who admired inside.”

But McKenna and Heinley’s attempts to make me feel better were wasted by a story they met in the hallway.

He was standing in front of the Queen’s room, and as soon as he saw us, he came up, but his expression was so cold that he felt cold.

Personnel appointments were also so restrained that they had to appear in textbooks, but what he added afterwards was quite straightforward.

“Your Highness, you’ve acted too recklessly. You risked your life for a woman.”

He was openly attacking Hein-ri for coming and bringing me in person.

He even called me “a woman” in front of his face, even though he seemed to know that I had already become a queen.

McKenna was furious and shouted, “Sir Yu-nim!” but Hein-li warned calmly, as if joking.

“Why, there’s a man in front of me who risks his life for a word.”

The article “Sir Yu-nim” hardened his face.

He apologized to me immediately for not being tactful.

“I’ve done it. This is Captain Yu-nim.”

However, he added a bone-in remark later on whether he was quite stubborn.
