Queen of The Scalpel - Chapter 103

It is the touching moment for Elise.

Her breaking up with the Crown Prince.

After she came back to this body, it was the moment she achieved her biggest desire.

“If we do this right, I’ll do what you want, Your Highness.”

“—.”

But Elise’s reaction is strange. And he is not that pleased. And she didn’t say thank you.

His face is smeared with melancholy.

“No, I’ll be dealing with the plague. I’ll marry the Crown Prince as scheduled. And I will be the Crown Princess.”

“—?!”

The emperor’s eyes widened with what she said.

What did she said?

“That words…are you serious?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

She bowed her head and she smiled.

It was smile that smeared with sadness.

“Instead, I would like you to grant me two conditions and one favor as a reward for winning the bet with Your Majesty. If you could just listen to this, I’d be with the Crown Prince.”

“—!”

The emperor’s face hardened.

This is because he predicted that it would be an unusual request.

“What is it?”

“The first condition is to postpone the formal engagement ceremony after the Creme War.”

It didn’t matter much.

Rather, it is a commendable idea.

It is not a good thing to hold a national festival, having the Crown Prince wedding, when public sentiment is not favorable due to the plague and the expedition.

“Next condition?”

“If the Crown Prince doesn’t want to marry me, then I want you to respect his decision.”

“—!”

In her last life, Elise had thought of this.

He is unhappy to marry him, but he must have been unhappy because of her.

I had to live with someone I didn’t want.

So she hope you give him a chance, too. If he don’t want to be with someone else he love.

“That won’t be a problem either. So what is this one favor you want?”

The emperor assumed that the request would be what the girl really wanted.

Indeed, this request is her true wish.

A request to give up both the break up of the crown prince and the life as a doctor, which she had longed for.

It won’t discredit her family, but rather, it is the only way to save her brother that is in the brink of death.

But Elise said this.

“I’ll tell you after I resolve this epidemia.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m sorry. It won’t take a few days anyway, so please wait a moment. But one thing I can tell you is that neither the imperial family nor the empire will befall in demise.”

Minchester frowned but Elise did not uttered anything and had stiff face.

“Hoho, you are making me curious about your favor.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, I can’t help it. In three days, anyway. Solve the epidemic in there and tell me what you want in return.”

But then Elise said.

“Your Majesty, may I ask you one thing before that?”

“What is it?”

“…?!”

The emperor frowned at an unexpected request.

“What on earth are you asking for?”

“It’s not an unreasonable request.”

She said.

It’s definitely not an unreasonable request to the Minchester’s part.

Rather—.

“For you, it’ll be a very small request. Your Majesty, and this empire will not be harmed by a penny. No, but I’m sure it would be a great benefit to the Empire and to this glorious imperial family.”

She isn’t lying at all.

In fact, it would be beneficial for both of them to do what she ask.

For the honor of the Clorence Family, for the Imperial Army who is going on an expedition to Creme, for the glory of the imperial family and for her brother.

“So I ask you. Promise me you’ll listen to me first, because I’m not bad person. If, by chance, you find it against the will of the Empire, then you may refuse.”

The emperor had nothing to lose.

Even if he promise to do so in advance, he can refuse it if it’s too much or bad.

Minchester nodded.

“Okay. I’ll honor it in the name of Romanoff, but if your wish you’re asking is against the will of the Empire I won’t do it as soon as possible.”

“Thank you very much!”

Elise had her knees boiled on the ground, and put her hand on the floor to express her gratitude.

“Thank God. If you can solve the epidemic, the imperial family and the Britia Empire will be of great help to you my Lady. Raise your head.”

Saying so, the emperor frowned slightly.

‘What the hell is she asking me to do?’

She said yes, but she felt persecuted for no reason.

She signed the contract because she thought it was advantageous, but it was advantageous, but it turned out to be a feeling of fraud.

When Elise solved the epidemic and came in at the mercy of the Crown Prince, what she wanted is done, but she felt bad.

“Take a break anyway and go to the Crown Prince. This plague is under the command of the Crown Prince. I’ll tell Young Lady to cooperate as much as possible.”

“Thank you.”

Elise expressed her courtesy and stepped down.

Seeing her from behind, the emperor snorted.

What on earth are you asking?

‘It’s not too much, it is not that bad as it is.’

But at that moment, the Emperor could not even dreamt of being hurt.

Elise’s favor.

What does she mean about her favor will benefit the empire, the imperial family, and to everyone else?
