Chapter 256

What the Kingdom Has and Imperial Japan Doesn’t [Part 1]

“Emma-chaaan~”

After the audience with the King was over, the family withdrew from the room. Emma had just stepped outside when Jadwiga leapt out of nowhere and circled her arms around her waist.

“Gah! Jadwi...ga-sama???”

Jadwiga rubbed her face against Emma’s body and then looked up, seeming as if she was on the verge of tears.

“Jadwi, Jadwi likes Emma-chan very, very much!”

Jadwiga tightened her embrace, trying to convey her anxiety through the strength of her arms.

“Jadwiga-sama, I like Jadwiga-sama very much too!”

Emma didn’t understand why she was being hugged, but because Jadwiga looked very cute, she just hugged her back.

“Hey! Nee-sama!”

“...What is it, su** zanmai.”

When Emma turned to look at William, he was waiting for his turn with arms wide open. The expression on his face expressed nothing but his impure intentions. [T/N: Sushi zanmai is a famous sushi chain. Smiling with outstretched arms is its boss’ signature pose.]

“I knew it. We should’ve left William in Imperial Japan by himself...” Maybe he could be born anew under Fukushima-sama’s love. Emma muttered under her breath.

“Eek... please stop thinking of such a horrible thing!” William stepped back, rejecting the idea whole-heartedly.

“Imperial Japan is a fascinating country, but... the Kingdom where Rose-sama belongs is the best after all.”

George also extolled Rose’s beauty while smiling sweetly.

The family only had Rose as a possible choice for their bias from a year ago.

“...Jeez, how can I stay angry when you keep praising me like that!”

*hmph* ...Rose blushed in a sulking manner.

“A blushing Rose-sama... So cute!”

“Oh, Emma-chan, you-!”

In the family’s eyes, Rose’s every move was the greatest solace, especially after they had just desperately dodged the talk about rewards with the king.

“Rose-sama, I’m sure you would like to catch up with each other... Would you like me to prepare a room?”

Rose’s maid, Meg, surveyed their surroundings with furrowed brows and suggested. It was a little improper to make noise in the Royal Castle’s hallway.

“A tea party with Emma-chan~!”

Jadwiga bubbled with joy.

“You’re right. I wonder if you have plans after this? I want to invite you to my palace!”

Rose invited the Stuart family to the Royal Concubine’s palace.
