Axion jumped to his feet. I also cautiously got up and prepared myself.

 

'Finally, I'm meeting the Emperor.'

 

I greeted the Emperor as he walked towards our table.

 

"I see His Majesty the Emperor, the Sun of the Empire. I am Princess Meldenique Vaveloa."

 

After a long time my last name Vaveloa came out of my mouth.

 

'It is a violation of the national law to say without the family name while the excommunication has not yet gone through the hands of the emperor.'

 

When I raised my head again, I was surprised to see the Emperor's face.

 

'Emperor, aren't you like a bear?'

 

The emperor had a warm-hearted impression. And gray gray hair, five plump belly fat, and a kindly raised lips......

 

Both cheeks, which gained weight well, were round like a yellow teddy bear Pooh stole a honey jar and ate it.

 

Bear...... The stern gaze of The Emperor looked at me.

 

Sitting on a chair prepared for him, he opened his mouth and asked.

 

"Okay, sit down. But why are you here?"

 

Somehow, I thought I could meet the emperor quickly, but Axion didn't seem to tell him that I was with him.

 

'What do I do?'

 

While she was frozen for a moment without knowing what to explain, the only lively person, Prince Axion spoke in this situation.

 

"Your Majesty, Mel is my friend! One of my best friends at the academy! That's why I invited her!"

 

The little boy cut in cutely.

 

"······· Princess Meldenique of Vaveloa, is she growing exceptionally fast? I didn't know she was attending the academy."

 

Cold sweat flows down my back.

 

It was a similar tone to asking if I intentionally approached his son.

 

I decided to respond calmly.

 

"I'm running a small business in front of the academy. His Majesty Prince Axion is my client."

 

"It's a very, very big business. A stationery store of memories! Right, Hyung-nim?"

 

"Okay."

 

Axion turned his body sideways, waving his Hyung's collar, and looked away.

 

Cassian, who seemed to have no response, nodded quietly.

 

The Emperor nodded quietly, looking at his most trusted son with doubt.

 

"I see. It's strange that the daughter of the Duke of Vaveloa runs a small business called a stationery store of memories."

 

'You're doubting me very smoothly. It would look like I approached the princes completely intentionally.'

 

If the Emperor liked me from the beginning, it would have been more strange.

 

It was an era when the imperial power was weak compared to the rights of nobles. The emperor was not an incompetent type, but he had little power.

 

In addition, after his children died one after another, he did not show his face well even in public.

 

In the meantime, the great nobles, such as Duke Hessmann and Duke Vaveloa, were taking control of the commercial district, threatening the power of the Imperial family even more.

 

 

And the Emperor was in a candle-like situation in front of the storm, trying to protect the little remaining Royal Power.

 

'But as expected, the Emperor is the Emperor.'

 

The look of vigilance against me was obvious.

 

It was similar to the worry I had at first.

 

So I was definitely starting at the negative level of favorability.

 

A very vicious situation, opposite of where the heroine Sheria begins with her favorability max wherever she goes, even in the potentially static Imperial Palace.

 

But it doesn't matter.

 

'I'd rather have a negative level of favorability.'

 

"Yes. I brought a small gift to present to your Majesty."

 

I carefully handed the items I brought to the attendant.

 

Breaking the serious atmosphere, Axion smiled and said.

 

"Your Majesty Father, Meldenique has the hand of God! Right, right, Hyung-nim? I'm so excited!"

 

Was he possessed by the lottery game?

 

Cassian, who was constantly touching a few sheets of 'Gwang' paper in his hand, reacted one tempo late.

 

"········Yeah, it's amazing. I think it's God's hand."

 

"Great job, Hyung-nim!"

 

The Emperor stared at me with a strange gaze.

 

I had a feeling his gaze says, 'How did she win my sons' favor.'

 

'I don't know if Axion and Cassian's hospitality will work well.'

 

With a more nervous mind, I put my hand on my dress.

 

I wasn't nervous enough to wet my dress. Should I say that I have a moderately good palpitation.

 

In principle, you should open gifts immediately in private.

 

However, there was a procedure for a servant to unpack the genuine gift to the Emperor in advance and inspect it with a magic tool in case of any possible danger.

 

The same was true this time.

 

When he received the genuine gift, the servant unwrapped it and placed it on the table.

 

When the servant removed the red packaging, a small gift was revealed.

 

Inside the box were dozens of rectangular objects, long, flat, and blackish red.

 

The people's faces were engulfed in wonder.

 

'That's right. It's surprising. Because it was made in a hurry.'

 

The gift I prepared was homemade herbal caramel.

 

Of course, there are still many people who know caramel. But foods like peanut-flavored caramel have become memories of the past.

 

However, middle-aged and older people with poor health still used to look for caramel.

 

According to what I shared with Dominic last night, caramel is secretly sold regardless of the times.

 

So, everyone will be drenched in memories and looking for food of nostalgia.

 

'So I'm helping you to take care of your health and at the same time stimulating the memories in the caramel.'

 

I know it well because I read the original work.

 

What kind of food is usually served to the Emperor.

 

 

Most people used to serve the emperor with tasteless and healthy foods such as ginseng roots.

 

At that time, Sheria presented a unique canary for the emperor.

 

From then on, Emperor, although quiet, came to appreciate Sheria quite a bit. Because it was his first unique gift.

 

Judging from the original setting, it was certain that the Emperor would be more interested in a unique gift.

 

I'm sure you'll like it because it's unusual, but it's not the time to just be surprised.

 

I looked away and turned toward the Emperor.

 

"Caramel......"

 

The Emperor shook his head as he looked into the air with a face wet with recollection.

 

It looked like he was thinking of something.

 

Clearly, the Emperor must have memories related to caramel. When he was young, caramel was more popular than sweet candy.

 

Peanut flavored caramel, almond chewy caramel, milk caramel, orange caramel and more.

 

'The dice has been cast, and I have no choice but to wait.'

 

After checking the herbal caramel with a magic tool, the servant whispered to the emperor.

 

He seemed to say that there was no poison.

 

The Emperors eyes softened and he quietly opened his mouth.

 

"It's definitely a unique gift."

 

"Yes. It's not just caramel, it's caramel made from Salien roots. Although Salien roots are bitter, it's caramelized so that it feels sweet when it touches the tip of the tongue. I made it with the thought of taking care of health and taste."

 

"Oho......"

 

When the Emperor winked at the servant, the servant carefully put a caramel on the plate and served it.

 

Soon he took a bite of the soft herb caramel.

 

I whispered softly to the man sitting right next to me.

 

"This homemade caramel I made is good for eye health, improves concentration and..."

 

"......."

 

"Since Salien is used as a raw material, it has a characteristic that is good for stamina."

 

Hearing my whisper, the emperor immediately opened his eyes.

 

With a nervous heart, I summoned Dominic inside.

 

Will Dominic and the Emperor really like that? In fact, as it is not a normal gift such as shellfish or ginseng······.

 

'If you don't like it, will I be arrested?'

 

Nervous, I swallowed a dry saliva and looked at the emperor who opened his eyes wide.

 

Because the emperor opened his eyes so wide, everyone's eyes were focused towards it.

 

But the emperor, not paying attention to the gazes of others, fixed his eyes on me and asked low.

 

"Is it true...... Is it good for that?"

 

I answered with a serious nod.

 

"Yes."

 

Just answering 'yes' may not be enough.

 

I lowered my voice and started selling the medicine so that only the emperor could hear it.

 

"I've spent a lot of money to get the thousand-year-old Salien roots."

 

"Ooh......"

 

Yeah, don't be surprised. A thousand-year-old Salien root is a precious treasure that even the emperor cannot see.

 

But I did it.

 

I remembered Dominic's stern look.

 

 

 

 

['Something good for your energy?'

 

'Yeah, something like salien roots. I think I can buy it if I want to get it now.

 

'I have that......' ]

 

 

 

 

I looked at Dominic with suspicious eyes.

 

 

 

 

['You have it? Why is that?'

 

'······I got this from an old man in the past to commemorate the birth of a hero.']

 

 

 

 

Oh my god.

 

 

 

 

['It's going to be in the sword. Probably stayed in the sword for about a thousand years. For your information, I've never used it. Don't misunderstand.']

 

 

 

 

A thousand-year-old Salien root is a tremendous treasure.

 

But before that, something had to be corrected.
