I Became the Secretary of a Tyrant - Chapter 35

1STKISSNOVEL. DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!

There. That would hopefully prevent them from forming alliances.

The nobles groaned inwardly, exchanging glances.

Cahir grinned. “Do you have any other suggestions? I’m a fair emperor, so I want to give everyone an equal opportunity.”

It was silent. To each noble their own.

“Anyone?” asked Duke Pasita.

Hamburg raised his hand. “What about families that no longer have unmarried daughters?”

He was loyal, but he didn’t exactly want any of his loved ones to get exposed to the emperor’s intense moods.

“Of course, they won’t be included. Take care of the rest, and I hope it doesn’t drag on too much.”

Cahir stood up and left, Rosaline following him.

“Well, Rosaline.” He looked back at her.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Please speak.” She bowed her head.

“The Verite family is not exempted.”

“Hm? My family? But there’s no lady of marriageable age.”

He stared at her.

“Ah… Oh, do you mean me?”

Cahir nodded slowly.

Yes. You. Rosaline, it’s you.

‘Oh my god. Is he telling me to participate in that bloodbath?’

“No, I’m… I mean…”

She couldn’t join! She had to assist in the process, so she couldn’t be a candidate.

Rosaline clasped her hands, pleading with her eyes. “Please take that back.”

“As the both of us have established, exceptions can be construed as preferential treatment,” he refused lightly. He smiled.

Right. Cahir dreamt of a world that was fair, just, and free of discrimination. Such a man would never consent to preferential treatment.

The nobles’ eyes widened. Apparently, they were still within range of hearing.

“Your Majesty, it’s too close…”

“Shh, Rosaline. Just participate and do your best. I don’t know who the empress will be, but it would be best if they could learn from you.”

Cahir walked away, leaving her gaping at his back.

‘What are you thinking, Your Majesty?’
