ke when I received the letter from Sovieshu.

As I listened to the rattle of the horses’ hooves and the carriage rolling, I felt my head spinning.

The view outside was so familiar that it was disturbing.
I spent many years of my life in this place.
I never thought I would come here pretending I didn’t care…

When the carriage stopped, my heart fluttered.

Controlling my expression as much as I could, I got out of the carriage.

It was Count Pirnu, Sovieshu’s secretary, who received us.

I was not the only one who was disturbed.

When we saw each other face to face.
Count Pirnu’s eyes were also trembling slightly.

“Welcome, Your Majesty the Queen of the Western Kingdom and Your Majesty King Heinley.”

But he greeted me firmly, and I nodded as calmly as I could.

Count Pirnu hesitated for a moment before pointing with his hand.

“Please, come this way.”

I knew exactly where he would lead us— The White Rose Room.

.

That room was where distinguished guests were received.
It was there that I met Heinley for the first time.

In front of the White Rose Room stood the Knights of the Sovieshu Imperial Guard.

When they saw me, their faces froze.

I smiled as if I hadn’t noticed, and waited for Count Pirnu to let us into the room.

Eventually, the door of the White Rose Room opened and we were allowed to pass.

Inside was Sovieshu, his secretaries, and other nobles.

Did he hear that I was coming?

Sovieshu seemed completely unperturbed.

I noticed the empty throne next to him.
The throne where I used to be to receive distinguished guests.

I looked at Sovieshu again.
He was staring at me with a determined expression.
But unlike his expression, his eyes seemed sad.

We stared at each other for a moment.
Contrary to what I expected, nothing came to my mind.

What about Sovieshu? How long will he remain like this.

“Your Majesty,” Count Pirnu whispered to him.

Only then did Sovieshu open his mouth as if he had awakened from a spell.

“I know it has been a hard journey… I appreciate the gesture of friendship shown by the Western Kingdom.”

His expression was impassive and his voice serene.

He did not seem like the man who had been stunned a moment ago.
He looked at me again but said no more.

“Who is here?”

Unlike Sovieshu, who managed to hide his true thoughts and remain expressionless, Rashta could not do it.

While checking her finished dress one last time, she was perplexed to hear that Navier would be attending the wedding.

“How did this happen?”

Baron Lant, who gave her the news, laughed awkwardly, “She is a person who puts affairs of state first.
Since she was invited, she must have considered that it was best to accept.”

Once Baron Lant left.
Rashta became so anxious that she began biting her nails.

Soon after, she asked the designer, “I also want all the accessories to be glamorous, from the headpiece to the jewels.”

The designer asked in surprise as she stuck pins into her dress, “What? Really?”

“Yes.”

Rashta spoke firmly.

“Everyone will compare Rashta to the deposed empress.”

“That’s true, but…”

“The deposed empress came to the country she left, how much must she have prepared herself so that her dignity would not be trampled upon?”

Rashta’s words were reasonable.
However, Rashta’s demand did not fit with the taste of the designer.

“The dress is glamorous, if the accessories are glamorous too, you could be overshadowed.”

The designer advised, but Rashta insisted, “It’s Rashta’s wedding.
On my wedding day, I don’t want to lose to anyone.”

The designer had no choice but to choose glamorous accessories before leaving.

Looking at the dress on the hanger, Rashta felt a little relieved.
With that dress, she was sure she wouldn’t lose to Navier.

Still, her anxiety did not disappear.

After pacing back and forth for a while, Rashta came up with a good idea.
