Despite his surprise, Gustav wanted an explanation from Emilio, but he knew now was not the time to ask personal questions even though Gustav was his real brother.
Gabby, who saw Gustav and kept looking at Emilio, knew that Gustav needed an explanation. This was not about Emilio's betrayal but why Emilio knew Gabby better.
"Prince Gustav, you must be wondering about my relationship with Emilio, right?" Gabby said, making Gustav immediately turn to him.
He just smiled at the confused Gustav. "Meet Emilio." Gabby continued making Gustav even more confused at Gabby because he called Emilio no-frills Prince.

The celebration that had reached the distribution of gifts made the entire palace sparkle hearing the gifts that Gabby would give. She gave gifts to other nobles, some of whom got Tier 3 Swords, Bows, and Wands made of Ancient Stones, Accessories of the highest quality according to the Nobles. Of course, the prize recipient accepted it with sparkling eyes because this was the first time that he could get a Relic which usually can only be obtained from big tournaments organized by big countries.
It's not that Gabby forgot the gifts for the soldiers' families in the palace. They also got gifts of gold and other treasures. As Shushu said, all the soldiers who joined the war got a lot of gold. Indeed some people think that this is a bribe for them, but Gabby has not promised from the beginning that he will give them a prize if he wins the war.
Tiana, who saw Gabby give the Relic or the treasure, made her gape. Tiana also really wanted the Relic too. Tiana kept thinking how rich Queen Gabby was so that she could give away precious treasures easily.
"Your Majesty, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Giving gold to commoners who have nothing to contribute to you will only envy some people." Tiana opened her voice, trying to get closer to Gabby.
"They have no contribution to me. But you know? How do they worry about their family, whether their sister, brother, husband, or father goes to war? I have promised them that the families of my soldiers will live comfortably even though they will lose their families during the war." Gabby said long, making Tiana speechless.
"Besides, my wealth will not run out just because I give them a little," Gabby arrogantly but covered with a smile.
It doesn't end. How much treasure does Queen Gabby have after hearing that each soldier gets 10,000 gold per person and several other gifts for the soldier's family?
The whole palace who heard Gabby's words were speechless, and they also thought that Gabby's wealth might be more than the kingdom.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't think that far. I hope that you can prosper the Queenby kingdom with your generosity," said Tiana trying to approach Gabby. 'I have to be the one.'
"Sometimes, if Your Majesty has free time, will Your Majesty have tea with me?" The connection.
"We can see the future of Empress Tiana," Gabby replied with a slight grin.
Between speakers, Tiana tried to curry favor with Gabby, Evan slipped into their conversation.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember me?"
Tiana glared at Evan for daring to interrupt her chat with Gabie making Tiana very annoyed.
"Sure, Evan Kristoffer Charlotte, First Son of Duke Charlotte"
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, are you coming to my father's birthday party in a few days? But considering you have so much to do for your new kingdom, it will keep you very busy."
"Maybe in a few days I have free time, I will come to Duke Charlotte's party," Gabby replied.
Evan couldn't hide how happy he was when he found out that the girl he liked was coming to visit his house.
On the other hand, Tiana cursed Evan for daring to take the first step to approach Gabby, Tiana did not accept it.
In contrast to Leon, who had been calm in the festive atmosphere. Somehow Leon felt warmth when he was with Gabby.
"Master Leon," called Scarla, looking at Leon, alone by the window while leaning his shoulder.
Many noble girls are attracted to Leon with his intelligence, who has 2 elemental spirits and a charming appearance that makes noble girls want to have a relationship with him.
But they refused to remember Leon's attitude, which was always cold towards women. Even though there had never been a scandal or rumor that Leon had been rude to women, it still made their guts shrink because of his cold nature.
Although some women have a high mentality trying to approach Leon, they have to stop again because they see Leon, who is close to Scarla, one of Gabby's servants whose beauty they can even value more than a princess. Plus, now that Scarla was knighted by their new queen with the title Grand Duchess, they would immediately step down because the title Grand Duchess was the highest title after the Arch Duchess and Duchess.
Leon, who turned to Scarla, silently stared at him without blinking. The aura that Scarla gave off drew him into Scarla's charm. Of all the women Leon has ever known and met, Scarla is the woman who can get rid of her cold nature besides her two sisters.
"Miss Scarla."
"Why are you here alone? Would you like to dance with me?"
"Of course, My Lady." Leon smiled back, pulling Scarla's hand and kissing the back of her hand.
Leon's treatment of Scarla caught the attention of the entire palace. Gabby and Sebastian just smiled at Leon.
Some girls who adore Leon secretly feel mass heartbreak. They are also the first time seeing Leon smile Leon's handsomeness increase, but what can they do.
"Your Majesty, will you dance with me?" Sebastian said, making Gabby and Tiana, and Evan turn to him.
Gabby smiled and nodded. She, who received Sebastian's outstretched hand, was glanced at by Evan. What is this!? Evan did not accept. Why did his grandmother smile when she saw her far-fetched old husband asking Gabby to dance?
After Gabby and Sebastian leave to dance, Baba invites Carolline to dance. "Mrs. Carolline, will you dance with me?" Baba said, kneeling like a romantic man asking his partner to dance.
"Sure, Grand Duke, " said Carolline smiling, accepting Baba's hand's size.
Tiana, who saw Baba's romance, made her inflamed. She should be dancing with the Grand Duke, not this older woman. At the same time, Shushu snorted at Baba's pretentious romantic attitude in front of him.

Gustav entered the room that Gabby had told him when Gustav entered the room and saw Emilio staring out the window.
"Older brother…"
Emilio turned to the door. Emilio, who saw his brother's worried and confused face, couldn't help but smile. This is all he can do to protect and take care of this stupid little brother and the family he loves.
"Brother, can you explain everything to me? Please don't cover anything up," Gustav started to whine like a child even though his face looked serious.
Seeing Gustav's whimper, Emilio remembered his childhood with his little brother, who was very spoiled to him. Emilio smiled faintly at his younger brother.
2 years ago.
"Your Majesty, go!" cried a guard.
"No, how could I leave you here," said Emilio, who supported his bodyguard, who was considered his family.
Prince Emilio and his bodyguards trudged through the forest of death. After a long walk through the forest, they found a cave and rested in the cave.
"I'm sorry, Joan, I didn't listen to you before. Because of my selfishness, we are stuck here."
"No, prince, I was the one who was weak then. I can't protect you as your bodyguard. Forgive this servant of yours." Joan whispered weakly from being heavily injured while helping Emilio fight the tree monster.
Hearing the news that there is a powerful contract animal in the forest of death makes Emilio want to have a contract animal. At least having 1 contract animal can strengthen him to protect his kingdom.
But it did not occur to Emilio that there are also monsters that inhabit the forest of death if the forest of death.
It wasn't long before they rested. They had already been found by the monster chasing them. Inevitably Emilio was forced to fight him.
Emilio nimbly and nimbly fought the tree monster using his 4 Elements with the black Fire Elemental core. Even though it could injure the monster, it didn't knock the monster back. Even the bodyguards who had been seriously injured were still helping him.
"Joan, rest, let me deal with it!" Emilio exclaimed, seeing Joan's Water Element magic getting weaker.
"I'm okay, prince. I can still fight." Joan replied even though her wound was getting worse because she kept expanding her inner strength.
The battle was getting fiercer. The prince who was the target of the tree monster was already covered in injuries. His body covered in wounds and tattered clothes made him look like a beggar.
The tree monster that had lost one arm continued to attack Emilio until the tree monster finally changed its target to Joan. Emilio, surprised to see the sudden attack that went straight for Joan, immediately ran towards him. The roots that were supposed to be wrapped around Joan hit Emilio because Emilio was trying to protect his best friend.
As a result, Emilio was entangled by the roots of the tree mustard. Joan, who saw Emilio was already tightly wrapped, tried to help him even though he was running with a limp.
But unlucky, not until Joan approached Emilio, Joan's head had been separated from his body by a wave from the tree monster.
"Joaan!." screamed Emilio, writhing, trying to untangle the roots.
As hard as Emilio tried to untie the knots of the roots, it only made the roots tighten. The twists of the roots got stronger, making Emilio cough up blood.
Emilio had given up being entangled by the tree monster's roots. Emilio couldn't do much anymore. 'Am I going to die… father, mother, Gustav, I'm sorry' Emilio's eyes closed, and his vision darkened.
As his eyes closed, the mustard root slowly loosened and weakened. Emilio fell to the ground as the roots fell off. Emilio's eyes that were still open, saw 2 girls approaching him and heard a faint voice.
---
"He's dead, Miss." said the servant girl who was none other than Shushu.
Gabby looked around her, and her gaze fell on the headless body. She turned to the tree monster separated into 2 parts due to being cut by Shushu.
Gabby spread her arms and pulled out her dark Element. The dark element that Gabby gave off crept into the two halves of the tree mustard.
The two halves of the monster shook and convulsed before finally rejoining and starting to rise.
"From today, your name is Groot. Go to my palace and never go out," said Gabby softly. The tree monster standing still began to move away from the two girls.
"Why did Miss make a contract with that bug?" snorted Shushu.
"He's the last of the monsters here, Shushu."
Shushu furrowed her brows' The last one? No wonder it's rare to see insects here' Shushu mumbled.
"Hmm, how about this, Miss?" asked Shushu, pointing at the dead body.
Gabie saw Emilio's lifeless body covered in slashed wounds. "He has been reincarnated," Gabby replied
"Oh," replied Shushu, pursing her lips.
When Gabby turned around and walked suddenly, she stopped suddenly, causing Shushu, who was walking behind her, to hit Gabby's back.
"What's wrong, Miss?" Shushu asked, confused to see Gabby was thinking about something.
"Shushu, can the Dragon Lord core accept human bodies?" Gabby asked Shushu, making her raise an eyebrow.
"Depending on the receptacle miss, if the receptacle is strong enough to contain the Dragon Lord's core, of course, it can…."
"…The previous Container Dragon Lord was also a human." Shushu continued.
"Don't miss it..."
Gabby just smiled, seeing Shushu's surprise. She turned to the lifeless body and stared. It's a shame she thought a body that had 4 elements with a black fire core was wasted. She snapped his fingers briefly. Suddenly Shushu trembled and sat up. Shushu took a deep breath.
"What happened, miss?" Shushu asked with quivering lips and gasping for breath. Shushu felt as if there was a very drastic change in time.
"He has been reincarnated. If we wait for it, it's too long. I'm just speeding up time in his dimension," Gabby answered lightly.
Shushu just kept silent hearing Gabby's easy answer, wouldn't it affect the heavens if changing time that was not from the original made Shushu horrified? What would happen if the Gods in that dimension knew that Gabby had changed space and time? Shushu didn't know what to do? will occur. 'Miss, don't worry, I'm the first to eliminate them (gods) when I come here.
Gabby spread her arms and let out an Element of light. The light element slowly moved around Emilio's body before finally entering Emilio's body.
Emilio's body which Element Gabby entered, made Emilio's body glow. After a while, the light dimmed Emilio's wounds began to heal quickly.
Emilio moved his finger around the grassy ground slowly. He opened his eyes slowly. Instantly Emilio's eyes bulged. Emilio sat up quickly, and frantically he groped his body.
Having finished groping his own body, Emilio turned to the 2 beautiful girls beside him. Emilio was stunned at the beauty of the two girls. They were upper-class people, and the other was his servant but had a beauty above royalty.
Emilio was very confused to see the two beautiful girls wearing plain black dresses, smiling gently at him and his maid scowling at the girls.
'Could this be heaven? Are these two nymphs a gift that the gods gave me?' Emilio thought thoughtfully.
"Welcome back, Prince Emilio" Gabby opened her voice pleasantly. Instantly Emilio's eyes widened in disbelief.
Prince Emilio? That was his name when he was a prince of the Spinx kingdom. All he knew was he had reincarnated into a successful businessman and had many grandchildren. Living in harmony with his family makes him happy even though he remembers his previous life.
He left his extended family because he was already 92 years old. In his last moments, he still smiled, seeing his entire extended family gathered at his house to visit him in his old state, and it was time to leave the world.
"I'm back!"
