Fleur walked in with a reserved look on her face.


    "I didn''t expect Fleur to be here."


    She should have stayed behind in Maust, tired after giving birth. It was a long way to the capital.


    "Yes, Serafina has arranged it. ......"


    Fleur is a stout girl, but even then she seemed to have outfoxed me and looked a little puzzled. She looked a little perplexed, because it was against the law for her not to contact her husband.


    "I''m sorry I didn''t tell you about this," she said.


    "I''m not angry with you, don''t worry about it. I''m not mad at you, don''t worry about it. It''s probably just a trick by Serafina.


    "It''s not a bad thing, so it''s not a conspiracy. It was just an idea.


    Serafina was smiling happily.


    Actually, it''s a relief to have a wife who can play with me like this.


    The higher you rise in rank, the more people think of you as a threat and keep their distance from you.


    It is not uncommon for regents to be frightened of us as if we were their executioner. It is more irritating for us to be treated in such a manner.


    First of all, I gently took Fleur in my arms after what must have been a long journey and stroked her bright pink hair.


    "How is the child?　How are you doing?"


    Yes, it was a girl. She is now in the care of a nanny. She is a little fussy and Maust''s nanny is having a hard time with her.


    "Well, I see that Meisel doesn''t have any children yet, but it''s too early to say, but maybe she can take over the Uge family in the future. Of course, I will take good care of her as the regent''s daughter as well."


    "It''s too soon to tell. The situation is still unpredictable. The former king''s movements are also a concern.


    Fleur looked relieved, too.


    "To tell you the truth, I wanted to come to King''s Landing too. Because history is turning where you are. I want to see history in motion.


    "Indeed, Fleur is a stout woman. If she had been a man, she would have been a great warlord."


    He has the blood of the House of Uige in his veins. A proud lineage that has defended its lands from generation to generation.


    Then you may train him to be a warrior now. There is no law that says only men can be warriors.


    "We don''t want him to die in battle. Please don''t do that.


    There was laughter all around.


    Well, now we know the purpose of Serafina''s devious plan.


    "So this is how you wanted to create a place for all the wives to meet, Seraphina."


    "I see what you mean. Because you''ve been so busy with politics that you haven''t had time to think about your wife.


    Giggling, Serafina laughs. Behind her came the ladies with sweets.


    "Since we''re here, I thought it would be a good idea to have a salon in the palace. The princess would like to greet the other wives properly. But since both Raviara and Kerala are military officers, they don''t have much time.


    Kerala frowned a little shyly when her name was called. Kerala has not yet strictly defined herself as a wife. It is a little strange for a military officer to be called a wife. Some might consider her more of a mistress than a wife.


    Currently, Kerala is officially treated as a military officer of the head of the Hirala family. If she were to be considered a full wife, she would be in conflict with a military officer.


    Raviara is similar to Kerala, but since she is a nanny, she is a military officer and a member of my family, so I have left some things vague.


    Also, Serafina intentionally used the term "back palace," which is really an impolite expression since only the king can have such a palace. No one would snitch on his wife''s joke.


    Rumi looked at her again.


    "Yes, I would like to make friends with you all. Fleur, Serafina has told me about your great insight!


    Quickly, Rumi took Fleur''s hand.


    The two stood side by side, Rumi looking more like a younger sister than Fleur.


    "Yes, I''m sure we''ll be in good hands. I''m embarrassed to be so different from you, princess.


    Let''s not talk about that. We all have the same role to play in supporting the regent''s family.


    Rumi smiled an innocent smile.


    Beside her, Kerala and Raviara were dividing the pastries that had been brought to the table.


    Seeing them all lined up like this,


    I was once again impressed by how smart all my wives are.


    I do not think that asking them to support the regent''s family is just a matter of words. It is not unusual in history for wives to conduct diplomacy with each other. At the very least, it is nice to have an open line of negotiation.


    "You seem quite impressed. My idea is not so bad, is it?"


    Serafina looks at me as if to say, "What do you think?


    "Yes, I think so. It''s true that I''ve been so preoccupied with political affairs that it''s nice to spend a little time like this now and then.


    "Let''s cancel work today. Let''s all eat sweets and talk.


    "The kids are still young, but I hope we can invite them here one day."


    "Yes. To tell you the truth, I''d like my children to follow in your footsteps, but that''s just the way it goes. I''m sure we''ll have more children anyway.


    Serafina looked me up and down as if to check me.


    "Well, it''s just the way things are. You can see that at ......."


    Then Serafina stood tall and whispered in my ear.


    "You haven''t had your wedding night with the princess yet, have you?"


    Don''t say that here.


    "Not yet. That can wait."


    "But don''t make it too complicated by having a mistress."


    "That''s all right ----, I''ll moderate."


    After what happened with the mistletoe, I couldn''t come on too strong. .......
