His Breeding Obsession - Chapter 61

It was a tea that did not suit her taste, Mirania used to drink herbal tea.

“I heard that you have a special relationship with the foster daughter of Baron Everizen?” asked the woman.

Mirania, who had taken another sip involuntarily, frowned as Malandor tapped her on the shoulder.

As she looked at her questioningly, Malandor smiled and spoke.

‘Baron Everizen?’

“Why?”

Repeatedly, Mirania frowned at the woman and even top Cosa.

“That’s not a lie, so is it true? As the daughter of a mere councilor, it would be difficult to occupy His Highness’ side.”

As I listened to the conversation that followed, I remembered something.

‘Did Cosa say that it was Baron Everizen who brought Alice into the family?’

“More than that, His Highness couldn’t accept a woman who couldn’t empower him as a spouse. Everyone knows the ambition of His Highness the Crown Prince, right?”

“The family has no power, but the daughter of Baron Everizen is special. She is a woman who was even called the reincarnation of fidelity, although she’s a bit quiet now. That’s why she’s also trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, right? He favors her a lot.”

A cold rebuttal returned to the words that made a fuss.

“What if she has power? Compared to His Majesty’s forces, she is incomparably weak.”

Mirania listened to the conversation and grasped the situation of Alice.

It’s a serious relationship with breeding in mind, but it seems that there are limitations in many ways.

‘There are many things at stake in the union of humans, so I guess that’s the situation.’ Mirania thought.

“Still, if His Majesty gives her strength, it won’t be impossible.”

“That too. Will the Empress leave her alone? Now that the second prince has also come-of-age, he will not be willing to hand over the throne.”

As if something sensitive had happened, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

“Everyone knows that the relationship between the two, and His Majesty the Crown Prince, he is not what he used to be.”

The woman who had mentioned the second prince lowered her gaze and concluded.

“In the past, people I was enviably close to… ”

Someone muttered in a bitter voice.

“They say it’s because of the emperor. It’s no wonder she said he couldn’t make it past five years with the pedestal in his hand. This time, as Her Majesty is still young and beautiful, it’s a bit more incredible than before.”

‘Was the current empress then that woman? She’s the reason why the emperor needed the virility pill.’

The memory of the Prime Minister visiting the witch and requesting the medicine was still vivid.

It seemed that the passion even the medicine had already cooled down.

Anyway, to summarize what I’ve heard so far, it was this in short.

The relationship between the emperor and the empress has grown so far that even such talk could be heard through such party, and a power struggle between the crown prince and the second prince was on the verge of breaking out.

Since the second prince was still young, it was practically a power struggle between the prince and the empress and the end of tidying up.

“Ho-ho, stop talking about this, can we? Even if it’s only between us, I’m afraid that the words will leak out.”

The woman in the middle shook her fan to clear up the conversation and bring up a new topic.

“Is everyone going to the party tomorrow?”

“Of course. I’m already looking forward to tomorrow, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep today.”

“You pretended not to, so you’re aiming for the Crown Prince, right?”

When someone winked mischievously, the woman who said she was looking forward to the party waved her fan in embarrassment.

“Why are you saying that?”

“Since it’s a party at the imperial palace, wouldn’t His Highness, of course, attend? Since he said he was looking for a bride, how important is the party tomorrow? The woman who will dance with His Highness tomorrow might become the future Crown Princess.”

Mirania listened to the conversation and found a clue about how to meet Alice.

‘Will Alice come to that party too?’

Shaking the overbearing scented teacup, Mirania was lost in thought.

‘But if it’s a human party, there should be an invitation. How do I attend now…’

I raised my head, wondering if Cosa might have a way, but I was startled by the gaze that was focused on me.

“… What?”

When I asked, the women covered their mouths with fans and laughed.

“You thought differently. I was told by Madame that you’re a noble from a foreign country. Where are you from?”

When someone asked earlier, the other women pretended not to take interest and their eyes lit up.

Facing the intense gaze with their eyes twinkling in front of her, showing they had been curious about it for a while, Mirania’s lips parted.

“Very far from here…”

“Far?”

“I’m from a country in the north.”

“Seeing that you speak so naturally, I don’t think you are an ordinary person, right?”

Mirania nodded, calmly letting go of their focused gaze flow.

“I’m in the position of chieftain.”

The head in charge of a clan. Humans are probably thinking of a king who leads the people.

As expected, the women who heard Mirania’s words widened their eyes in admiration.

“I knew that too. Then why are you here?”

“There is someone I want to find,” answered Mirania.

“Who is that?”

“Should I even have to say that?”

As Mirania lowered her eyes in annoyance, the woman who spoke shut her mouth, startled.

Cosa let out a laugh to relieve the stiff atmosphere.

“It’s a secret! Then I can’t ask anymore. Please visit the empire while you are here.”

Clink—

The woman in the center grinned as she set her cup down.

“If you’re looking for someone, you have to do it right. How about coming to the party tomorrow?”

‘You’re right. Things are going very well.’

Mirania felt relieved and happy, but frowned, pretending to be troubled on the outside.

“I’m a bit busy with work…”

“Still, it’s a party hosted by the imperial palace, so you won’t regret it. Please lend me a day. I will take responsibility and show you around.”

At Cosa’s persuasion, Mirania nodded as if she couldn’t win.

“If you say so, I understand.”

“Oh, good idea! Then, who would you like to escort?”

“Partner?”

“Because you need a partner to attend the party.”

Cosa’s gaze turned to both sides of Mirania as she explained.

It was Grecan and Malandor who unknowingly inhaled their gaze from the beginning of the appearance of Mirania’s party.

As if he had waited for Cosa’s actions, his eyes were focused on her.

Malandor, who was quick to grasp the situation, responded with a deep smile first.

“I will be the only one to escort Mirania.”

It was clear to the languid Grecan that he didn’t know much about escorts or partners.

However, Malandor came forward, but Grecan was not so ignorant as to stay still, so he immediately refuted.

“It’s not you, it’s me.”

“You? I don’t know if you know how to escort a lady.”

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Cosa quickly changed the subject.

“Before choosing a partner, Mirania needs to decide on a dress.”

“I don’t want ostentatious or extravagance.”

As Mirania grimaced, Cosa smiled and said firmly, “Because you would never enter a party dressed like that.”

⚝

The party would be held the next day, so Mirania goes to the dress shop where Cosa guides her, and that’s to Cosa’s torch, saying that she has to choose a dress today.

“Lady Mirania is tall and slim, so I think a dress like this would suit her well.”

Cosa showed off a pure white dress, a silver dress, and a blue light dress excitedly.

Mirania looked at Cosa’s hand full of her dress, she said, “Anything is fine.”

Cosa’s expression collapsed at the troublesome tone. ‘Like, how could she do that?’

“There’s no such thing as anything! In this look!”

Cosa chuckled and pointed with a hand covered in the dress.

Cosa, who did not care about the bitter response, pointed to Mirania’s body with a combative gesture.

“With this body! What do you mean, anything!”

Cosa shook her head and added, “If you’re going to wear just anything, you should polish it to a shine as much as possible. That’s right. As the owner of Laricosa Firm, putting anything on this subject is an insult to my abilities!”

Mirania tilted her head, wondering what kind of seed this was.

“Am I right?”

Mirania’s lips gaped as she looked at Cosa with eyes shining and a sigh.

Cosa stared at Mirania’s slowly opening mouth with expectant eyes.

“Anything, give me anything.”

The passion in Cosa’s eyes cooled as if she had been splashed with cold water.

“Great. Then I’ll pick one for you, so our gentlemen, please give us your opinion. Got it?”

Cosa, who looked back at Grecan and Malandor, moved her short legs quickly as if to begin her work.

Grecan looked away from Cosa’s back, who had disappeared into the dressing room, and spoke, “She’s a strange human.”

Mirania nodded, and the only different reaction was Malandor.

“Why? I’m having fun,” said Malandor.

“I don’t have time to spend on things like this.”

Mirania murmured, wondering if such a thing would help her meet Alice.

Mallandor put his arm on her shoulder.

When Mirania turns to face him, his red eyes glistened as he licked his lips with his pink tongue.

“I like it. I can spend that little time like this.”

“What are you talking about?” asked Mirania.

“It feels like we’re on a date,” Malandor answered.

As Mallandor smiled with his eyes bent, his obligatory eyes seemed rather innocent.

Malandor rolled his eyes and smiled, his sullen eyes looking rather innocent.

Mirania, who felt sour, smirked with laughter on his bright face.

Her laughter tightened Malandor’s arms.
