Remarried Empress

use of the moment.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Have a report drawn up considering this.”

McKenna moved his hands busily, marking Heinley’s classified documents in different colors and putting them in separate envelopes

As he did this, he suddenly laughed.

“It will be a hellish month for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with all the work to be done.”

“Only just the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?”

“Isn’t Marquis Ketron the reason you can finish it all at once?”

Heinley chuckled, agreeing with McKenna.

Once he ascended to the throne, Heinley quickly replaced those he did not consider necessary, and left in their original positions those he believed essential, one of which was Marquis Ketron.

Marquis Ketron had served as Foreign Affairs Minister since the former king, Wharton III.
He was also one of Christa’s closest aides.

Although he was a thorn in Heinley’s side, so far there was no suitable person to replace him.

So Heinley had no choice but to entrust this position to him.

“He is thorough at least in his own work.”

When he thought of Marquis Ketron, he naturally also thought of the Christa matter.

Heinley sighed.

“I must also take care of the matter of my sister-in-law…”

“His Highness Wharton III, asked you as a last will to take care of your sister-in-law.”

“…”

McKenna said worriedly.

“If Christa went to Compshire’s Mansion on her own, I don’t think anything would happen.
But if you forced her, people would talk about it.”

Although he had not been elected to the throne through a political strife between brothers, the position of the weaker older brother, and the healthier, more intelligent younger brother, had been the subject of rumors.

His infertility, the occasional assassination attempts, troubles with the nobility… People took for granted that Heinley was behind it all.

As much as Heinley stepped away from the political scene, suspicious glances seeped into him like blood.

Will Heinley send Christa to Compshire despite the last will of his older brother, his predecessor? Also against Christa’s wish?

Those who liked to make a scandal would find fault with this, too.

“I know, but…”

Heinley frowned as he remembered Christa approaching him with a handkerchief after his body went stiff from the potion.

She knew he was in a strange condition, but she wiped off the sweat without calling anyone.
And her flushed face along with her trembling gaze…

Heinley sighed deeply, closing his eyes.

When he attended parties in different countries with Duke Elgy more than a few young ladies looked at him like that.

Heinley knew perfectly well what that expression, and that look, meant.

He could not allow his sister-in-law to stay here after that.

However, his brother’s last will did not represent the only problem.

Navier.

Navier had already told Heinley not to intervene.

‘So what would Navier think if I kicked Christa out?’

“I’ll have to discuss this matter with my wife first.”

McKenna grumbled, frowning at Heinley’s heavy voice.

“Compshire’s Mansion is an incredible mansion, in fact it’s like a palace.
No, it really is a palace, except it has no facilities to accommodate troops.”

“It’s in the City of Art.”

“Yes,I know.
It’s a place with a festive atmosphere all year round.
I don’t know why she doesn’t want to go there.
In that mansion her voice will be heard as the owner of the place, evidently it’s better than being restricted here.”

McKenna, who didn’t know that Christa liked Heinley, seemed genuinely unable to understand.

Heinley chuckled, but felt a heavy weight on his heart.
