I Became the Black Swan Mother of the White Swan Princess

Then, the drama queen, Haniel, who stretched out in the grass again, caught her eye. Poor thing~ Seeing Mr. Darren cool her face with his wings and Selene putting wet grass on her forehead, Catherine, too, couldnt help but hold on to her heart.

Uh, anyway, I fully understand your Majestys feelings.

You know about it?

Somewhat intrigued, Rashid settled his chin on one hand. His unique yet lazy countenance made her feel like he wanted to eat her alive with his intense stares.

What do you know about my heart?

Why would he ask her that? She really wanted to hit her head somewhere, but their gazes didnt seem to want to let each other go. If the story had already begun, it was better to close her eyes and end it quickly.

Youre also a man after all, Your Majesty.

I suppose so.

Well, Ive actually been a littlepretty, right?

.

Wow, he didnt always answer when this happens. Catherine was the type of woman to blurt out whatever once she lost her mind. Anyway, that must have drove the Emperor insane. She closed her eyes, and added brazenly. So, uh What should I say? Youre alone with me in this quiet place, so I understand that you might be attracted to my beauty more and more because you are in your prime and unlike the capital, there are not many aristocratic ladies

Catherine heard the Emperor chuckle.

Are you laughing at me right now?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

When she opened her eyes, Rashid avoided her gaze in an instant. It was the first time she saw it happen, seeing him avert his eyes and bursting in guffaws, so she didnt know what to do. Meanwhile, her face had gradually turned red, so it looked like her cheeks were burning. Wow! She really couldnt sleep because of a guy like this! If she could go back to yesterday, she wouldnt be able to get a good nights sleep and never wake up again. If so, she wouldnt have to suffer like this.

Excuse me?

No, Catherine! Youre really- He didnt even think of raising his head to look at her. Suddenly, his big shoulders shook as well. It was quite surprising that this tyrant could laugh happily, not sarcastically or savagely, but he had never wanted to laugh at her especially for this reason.

Im not good for you, Your Majesty.

Why?

Rashid finally removed the hand blindfolding his eyes, but he couldnt completely erase her laughter. Angry at the unfamiliar appearance, she snorted timidly.

You dont really know people, Your Majesty. I might just end up using you unintentionally

Wait! Wait!

Rashids laughter became more intense than the first. Now, he put his hand on the back of his neck as if he couldnt handle what he had heard of so far.

What are you d-doing to me?

Really! Really!

The Emperor was so mean! What kind of reaction was she expecting from a man like him? Now, shes discouraged and had nothing to say. In particular, the difference became clear when she saw Mr. Darren, who looked after Haniel with utmost sincerity over there.

Even if I tell you not to laugh at me, you seem to be chuckling, so keep doing it. It should be over before nightfall. Im sorry but it appears like I have to go first. Since you have laughed a lot because of me, Ill count that as paying my debt off. Then I-

Where?

Ah! His hand quickly grabbed her wrist and his hold was neither painful or loose. Then, he took her hand and squinted.

I just thought it was funny but dont you think youre even ruder? Shouldnt the famous Duchess listen to the Emperors words until the end?

This conversation is over.

No. I havent even started yet but lets begin with your reputation. Whatever it is, its better than mine. I dont care about other peoples opinions because Im the Emperor. Ah and-

This time, he stared straight into her eyes.

I did laugh but I didnt say you werent pretty, Catherine.

N-No! Brother shouldnt do it!

Haniel, who even talks in her sleep, couldnt stop her sobs even while lying in the cradle.

Im going to bite you before you get your black teeth in my eyes! Perhaps because she was wearing a white ribbon around her head, her spirit was as strong as any other queen.

The princess is so stubborn too.

.

If there was a queen with conviction, of course, there would be a sneaky concubine. Selene, who had patted Haniels chest with one wing, was busy pulling the ribbon around her neck with her other wing.

Why dont you do it? There seems to be a clear trend. Whoops?

So, Selene. id you take the traitors route?

What do you mean a traitor? Lets just say that Im good at reading the trends of the times!

*QUACK*

Selene proudly turned her neck, showing off her turquoise ribbon. Catherine noticed she came back a little late yesterday, but it appeared like she got something from Rashid.

If you look closely, His Majesty has a good eye. Doesnt the color match my hair color too well?

Yes. Youre really lucky!

In a house with three women, one had decided to lay down while the other had completely switched routes. As a result, she felt like crying because there was only one left.

This is why men should come into the house well. A man has successfully cut the family in half.

Madam, if anyone sees it, theyll think Im the only one who received the gift.
