Bab 730: THIS FOOLISH LOVE

[A day after Neoma fainted…]

"HOW DID the meeting with the Twelve Golden Families and the Council of Noblemen go, love?" Mona asked Nikolai while serving tea for him. "Is the majority of them still against adding Neoma to the Royal Household?"

She could have asked a servant to brew and serve the tea, but she got used to doing that for herself and Nikolai while living in Korea.

But she would only do that for Nikolai when they were alone in a room because she didn't want bad rumors to spread. People might think that Nikolai was treating her badly if they saw her doing "menial" tasks such as brewing and serving tea.

It was unthinkable for the emperor's partner to do that, after all.

[I don't mind changing that perception, but now is not a good time. The Imperial Family's reputation is still in shambles. We must avoid anything that might add fuel to the fire.]
