Midday Lake Party (5)
‘Edmond would be jealous….’
Was it a problem that she said she wanted to ride a boat? Ezet looked at Edmond and Marchioness Spencer, sitting in a white chair in the distance. Edmond waved to see if he knew Ezet had turned around even though his face was so far away that he couldn’t see it. Ezet also waved along.
“The Duchess of Jaxen really loves her husband.”
“No, but I’m sorry. He came all the way here for me, and I was the only one on the boat who left Edmond alone…”
“That’s the proof that you love your husband.”
The Empress tilted her head with a smile in her eyes. The fan had already been neatly placed on their knees from the moment they started talking to Daniel. Countess Harrington sighed lightly and shrugged.
“Her husband said that. The Duchess of Jaxen gave her husband, cursed by a dragon and turned into a monster, to a person who was endless enough to turn it back into humanity. What have I done?”
“Oh, my God.”
“That’s why I gave it back to him. Don’t say that until after you buy the $4.9 billion diamond.”
“Good job, Countess Harrington.”
“The Emperor does not say that to Her Majesty, does he?”
“Because he is a man who doesn’t say that he’s married.”
“I envy you, I really…… I think I’m the only one who got married wrong here.”
“Ahaha…”
Ezet could not laugh. This is because the story of the Empress and Countess Harrington was not true.
Edmond has never been cursed, and it was also a new lie that Ezet lifted the curse with love.
She acquiesced because believing that was the way to explain the three-year absence, but lying was also guilty.
Daniel’s glance at her from the side was felt. Somehow, Ezet, who felt nervous, decided to change the subject quickly.
“Well, there! Your Majesty. What’s that white dome in the middle?”
“Oh, that’s right. I didn’t explain that.”
When the Empress beckoned, Daniel changed the direction of rowing and attached the boat to the side with the white dome. From a distance, she thought there was something like a monument in the marble dome, but when she looked closely, it was a mirror made of rock.
Because of the phrase written below, it was perceived as a “mirror” that looked as hard as granite mixed with black and grey.
‘The Mirror of Truth.’
“Mirror of truth?”
“Yes, one of the imperial treasures.”
“Oh, my God, that rock is a treasure?”
“Yes, the first emperor brought from the Dragon’s tomb when this empire was founded.”
There’s a magical tool here, too. Ezet looked in the dark, bouncy rock mirror, which looked like it wouldn’t even make a single statue.

“In ancient times, this mirror was used to judge.”
“Oh, the trial in the mirror?”
“Yes, when you ask a question to a mirror, it tells you whether it’s true or false.”
The Empress explained that when the judge asked the sinner if he was truly guilty or not, the mirror covered him. However, if various lies were mixed up, the truth could not be adequately determined, and later the judge made a misjudgment, so he stepped down from the court and left it in the lake.
“Usually, we leave the Palace lake open; the lovers row all the way here to see their compatibility.”
“Oh, if the compatibility is not good, they’ll fight each other.”
“Whoa, the power to mask the truth is now much weakened by excessive use. It’s just to make you feel better.”
“I see.”
It’s a magic mirror that masks the truth. It was a very mysterious thing. Ezet looked still at the black rock. It is a clear day to shine in the sky with warm sunlight and transparent lakes, but nothing was reflected in the rock mirror.
“Right. Shall we test it?”
“What?”
“Marquis Spencer, please put the boat on the side.”
At the request of Countess Harrington, Daniel quietly glued the boat to the side of the dome. It was as far as reaching the lower part of the rock mirror when reaching out on a boat.
“Magic Mirror, answer me.”
When Countess Harrington talked to it, a light came to the surface of the rock mirror that was bouncing off. It seemed that the idea of magical tools was not false.
“What is the compatibility between Count Wing Harrington and Countess Jasmine Harrington?”
Is she looking for compatibility with her husband? Ezet looked still in the mirror. Glittering light gathered on the mirror and floated the number ’60’.
“60%.”
“You can’t be compatible with your husband.”
“Huhu, but it’s not normal enough that we’ve been doing well so far without any major accidents.”
“Oh, what about the Empress?”
“You want to see my compatibility?”
The empress smiled thickly and asked, and Countess Harrington turned her eyes, whimpering. The Empress was at the age of 50, and Countess Harrington was only thirty or so. Neither status nor years of experience were compared, so Countess Harrington turned an arrow to Ezet.
“Isn’t the Duchess of Jaxen curious about her and her husband’s suitability?”
“What? No, I’m….”
“Come to think of it, I’m curious, too. I know that the mirror of truth has never floated 100 in harmony.”
It is obvious to distinguish simple truths from lies, but the more intertwined interests there are, the less reliable the mirror of reality is. This is because there are facts that can be true or false depending on interests.
For example, when a man and a woman who hated each other said they fell in love, the mirror of truth ‘hated each other’ and ‘never loved each other’ were perceived as contradictions, resulting in a twist. That’s why the mirror of truth stepped down from the judge.
