Chapter 248. Go At The Same Time (1)
Translator: Aura / Editor: SaWarren
After the official welcome…
At Heinley’s suggestion to go to Navier, Duke Troby asked cautiously,
"If Your Majesty does not mind, we would like to speak for a moment alone, without Navier. It’s nothing urgent, but…"
His expression became rigid, as if he thought Heinley would refuse.
But Heinley agreed without hesitation.
"Alright."
Still, the Duke and Duchess Troby were not relieved.
What they wanted to say to Heinley was a request from ordinary parents, ‘Please take good care of our daughter.’
However, they were not sure if it would be appropriate to speak as if he were an ordinary son-in-law, since this was the Emperor of the Western Empire.
Nevertheless, they were too worried about Navier to say nothing.
They were just as worried about Koshar, but the Koshar issue was not something to ask Heinley about.
Koshar depended on himself. However, a marriage was different. No matter how well one spouse did, if the other was a disaster, the marriage would turn into a nightmare or break up.
Although they did not migrate to the Western Empire with their children because of their strong loyalty to the Eastern Empire and the Imperial Family, the couple loved Navier and Koshar dearly.
So despite his embarrassment, Duke Troby spoke up. But contrary to expectations, Heinley laughed at the Duke’s sincere request.
"Isn’t that obvious, father-in-law?"
"It seems obvious, but it often isn’t…"
"I love my wife. To be precise, it is an unrequited love."
"!"
"You don’t need to worry about it, you can rest easy."
Heinley said these last words with a very serious expression, holding back the next words that almost came out of his mouth, ‘I’ve said it many times, why do they still not believe in me?’
Perhaps because their first son-in-law was a mess and they were immediately pushed towards their second son-in-law, so the only way to dispel that mistrust was with actions.
Instead of making promises about the future, Heinley took the opportunity to ask.
"I also have something to say to both of you."
Duchess Troby asked suspiciously, a little nervously.
"What is it?"
Heinley saw Navier again reflected in her mother, then happily asked.
"What does my wife like?"
The Duke and Duchess Troby exchanged puzzled glances.
But that question was only the beginning. A lot of questions arose next.
"Please tell me about my wife’s childhood."
"What is it that my wife hates? Ah, it’s not to tease her, that’s to be avoided."
"Does my wife like birds?"
"Do you have any childhood portraits of my wife?"
"Has my wife ever told you about me?"
The Duke and Duchess Troby each answered truthfully. This was better than showing no interest at all.
"… Navier had a big dog. She was very fond of it because they had the same birthday."
When Heinley asked, "What did the dog look like?" They were quiet for a moment.
Light golden fur, large, and very handsome… what they were about to say sounded as if they were describing the emperor in front of them.
They both thought the same.
"Why did you two suddenly stop talking…?"
