Midday Lake Party (2)
“If you feel indebted to your heart for not attending the banquet, it would be better.”
It must have been rude to miss the Crown Prince’s coronation celebration, which is not inevitable, but that is the shackle that binds a bomb-like duke who doesn’t know where to turn.
Then there is nothing more fortunate.
“My wife persuaded me that I should apologize to you two. I got in trouble for being lazy.”
“Oh, my God, that happened.”
As the Empress opened her eyes in surprise, Ezet protested to Edmond in bewilderment.
“Edmond, when did I ever scold you…”
“Whoa, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, Duchess of Jaxen. Sometimes even a loving couple has to be severely scolded.”
“So I didn’t scold you…”
The Empress was delighted to learn that the Duchess of Jaxen had visited to greet her with the Duke.
Unlike the Duke, the Duchess is a person who is well-mannered and polite. She was relieved just to know that. The Empress smiled thickly.
‘As expected, it is the Duchess who holds the reins of the Duke of Jaxen.’
It was common sense to show off marital affection in high society, but as an Emperor and Empress, it was only when it was confirmed with their eyes that the Duke of Jaxen was into his wife.
The power of the Duchess of Jaxen was essential to keep Edmond, who had no connection and no affection for his hometown or even a little affection for his country, as the Duke of Jaxen.
The Duchess of Jaxen is affectionate and knowledgeable, and the Duke, who is infatuated with such a wife, listens to her.
So, only for the Duchess of Jaxen, showing off their affection for the couple somewhat contributed to the imperial welfare and peace of the empire.
“It’s a celebration that couples get along well. Speaking of which, Duchess of Jaxen. Why don’t you join us for an outdoor party today?”
“Outdoor party?”
Didn’t we just have to attend the dinner banquet? When asked back by Ezet, the empress folded her fan, approached her, and explained.
“The court lake is off-limits to the public during the imperial banquet period. We’ll float a boat there and play.”
“Oh, my God, a boat on the lake?”
There was also a small lake in the west, where Ezet lived. But she has never been a part of a boat ride. It was a famous fishing spot, so fishermen sat around the lake during the day, so they couldn’t float their boats, and at night, lovers who enjoyed fishing filled the lake’s shore, so they didn’t have to step in.
The expectation of getting on a boat for the first time reminded me of Ezet’s cheeks.

“Edmond, it’s a lake party. I can take a boat.”
“Madam, have you never been on a boat?”
“Yes, I’ve wanted to try it once.”
He could let her sail with a memorable cruise ship in the vast sea if she wanted, but now it seemed that she would have her first experience by riding a small boat floating in the Palace lake.
“There’s no danger, is there? Her Majesty.”
“Oh, my God.”
What’s dangerous about a calm lake that even blocks people from entering?
When asked by Edmonds, who was nearly eight-fold her husband, the Empress laughed a little and covered her mouth with her fan.
“Don’t worry, Duke Jaxen. The Palace lake is very calm and beautiful. I’m sure you’ll like it, too.”
“Well, that’s fine.”
Edmond didn’t have a choice as long as Ezet had expressed her desire to go.
Ezet’s expression brightened when Edmond agreed. She looked at her clothes with a bright face.
“Well, what should I wear when I go sailing?”
“That’s enough for now, Duchess of Jaxen. I’m going to change into outdoor clothes, too.”
The dress Ezet was wearing was a white dress wrapped in sleeves and a small frill. The smooth silk blouse wrinkles the chest to create volume, and a thin ribbon was attached to the bottom to tighten the waist instead of a corset.
The skirt, which had a fluttering frill spread in zigzag under a white ribbon belt with transparent beads, looked like white petals piled up.
Wearing translucent apricot stockings and low-heeled white shoes makes you look like a snowflake fairy. The dress, which feels light as if it will fly away when the wind blows, was a masterpiece with the patented technology of Madame La Promet’s dress salon.
Although the skirt was flush, there was nothing extra inside, and the length was so short that the ankle was slightly exposed that it was comfortable to move around.
The clothes and shoes are white, but they’re going to take a boat right by the lake, so her toes won’t get wet or anything to do.
“By the way, Her Majesty, are we the only ones going to the lake party?”
“No, the Marquis’ wives, the Earl of Spencer, the Marquis of Bath, the Countess of Devon, the Countess of Gray, the Countess of Delaware, and the Countess of Harrington.”
It was a combination that would make her sick, just by the name of it.
However, it is impossible to change the subject after expressing that she wants to go. Now, she grabbed the Empress’ hand with a smile on the corner of her mouth, which had almost hardened at the moment she opened.
