章節 82: CHAPTER 82
After breakfast, Gabby went back to talking to Empress Dowager Viona. Somehow Empress Dowager suited Gabby so well when talking. Everything they talked about was very connected, making Empress Dowager happy because she could find someone to talk to who understood her.
Until then, Gabby was silent for a moment. "What is it?" Empress Dowager Viona asked.
"What do you think of Princess Hana, Your Majesty?" Gabby asked.
Empress Dowager changed her facial expression. "What is it? Why are you asking my opinion about it?" The Empress Dowager looked displeased.
Gabby let out a light breath. "She's going to marry one of my Generals, and I hope you understand," Gabby replied politely.
"You are sure? Don't you know her past?"
Gabby nodded. "Of course, Your Majesty. But still, to me, her past is too sad for a Royal Princess, I think you understand." Gabby said looking sorry for Hana.
"If you wish to carry out their marriage…." The Empress Dowager hung her words.
"I understand. That is precisely why I am asking for your help getting Emperor Blaise to divorce Princess Hana first." Gabby interrupted, seeing the Empress Dowager hesitate to reveal it.
"What do you think of your general?" The Empress Dowager asked. She knows that Hana loves her former lover very much, even to the point of becoming pregnant with the Beastman's child even though she has become an Imperial Concubine.
"You could say he's a secret admirer of Princess Hana since childhood, I saw his eyes full of love when he was with Princess Hana, and Princess Hana herself accepted it gracefully," Gabby explained.
"In that case…." The Empress Dowager sighed. "I don't deny that she is a very kind and gentle woman. Alright, I'll give it a try." continued Empress Dowager Viona.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Gabby replied with a smile. "A few more days is my Birthday, and I invite the Empress Dowager. Will you come to the Party I am going to have?" Gabby continued. She spoke politely because Empress Dowager was not an ordinary Aristocratic Woman. If Empress Dowager were on her side, it would be good for her Empire.
"Is that true? How many?" The Empress Dowager replied, looking pleased. Even though Gabby is not her daughter-in-law, even though she expected it after getting to know Gabby, Empress Dowager seems to respect Gabby so much, and Empress Dowager Viona looks at Gabby with a mother's gaze as well.
"The 20th, Your Majesty," Gabby replied.
The Empress Dowager smiled broadly. "Sure, I will prepare a special gift for you." The Empress Dowager said.
"There is no need to trouble yourself, Your Majesty, and your presence has become a blessing to me because of the presence of the person who was once the first Empress on this Continent," Gabby replied kindly.
"Nothing to bother. I'll come to your party later." The Empress Dowager stared at Gabby tenderly.
Gabby nodded. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gabby said goodbye to Empress Dowager Viona to return to her residence. Happily, Empress Dowager herself immediately escorted Gabby into the horse carriage.
Empress Dowager's attitude towards Gabby made everyone in the Palace wonder. They had never seen the Empress Dowager so tenderly to Gabby as if Gabby was her favourite Princess, and not even Emperor Blaise had been treated like that by the Empress Dowager.
What they knew, Empress Dowager Viona was so strict when she was with Emperor Blaise that it made them assume that Empress Dowager was a woman who didn't discriminate against anyone who dared to do anything wrong.
After Gabby's carriage walked away from the Palace Gate, the Empress Dowager's previously full of tenderness turned sharp. "Nina, I give you the authority to do anything to Prime Minister Redrick. Investigate first, and I'm sure he is only with his son. I don't think there is anything to worry about for his wife and daughter." Viona said. She hooked her hands on the back of her hips, speaking firmly.
"Very well, Your Majesty." Nina walked into the palace. Without anyone knowing, Nina disappeared in an instant. Empress Dowager Viona concluded with a crooked smile.
Viona was still standing where she was. She looked up at the sky. 'Too bad this Empire already has an Empress,' thought Empress Dowager Viona.

Inside Gabby's Carriage, Shushu continued to show a sullen face.
"Shushu, there is no need to trouble yourself," Gabby said, pinching Shushu's cheek lightly. She knew Shushu was pouting because she didn't have a present for her yet. Shushu just groaned.
"If you look at it, you are too cute for a Demon Goddess figure," said Scarla, who had been watching Shushu's sullen face.
Shushu raised an eyebrow. "Are you still normal? I thought your relationship with Arch Duke Leon was far…." Shushu gasped. She looked at Scarla coquettishly. "Didn't Arch Duke Leon give you a ration?" Shushu continued playing with his eyebrows.
Shushu's words were very vulgar for Scarla, and her face was red with embarrassment. "You! We're not married, you know! I will not sully Leon." Scarla said, blushing, embarrassed. Shushu laughed at the blushing Scarla. Gabby herself covered her mouth with her hands to keep from laughing.
"Scarla, I promise to propose to Leon for you after we settle the matter just now. How?" Gabby said, playing with her eyebrows as Shushu did.
Shushu laughed crisply as Gabby teased Scarla. If you think about it, this was the first time Nyarlathotep fell into the charm of a human. Shushu was amused to see Nyarlathotep, who used to only play with humans. After all, why is Scarla toying with Leon? She still loves her life if she dares to play with the younger brother of her lord.
