n spoke.
The emperor’s questions could never be answered with deceit or falsehood.
The wise Alexei knew this very well.

(But Ekaterina?)

 

Constantine thought back to the way Ekaterina had greeted the royal family on the day of their visit.
She was a slender girl dressed in a dark dress that showed off her almost translucent pale white skin.
Her mature good looks were not outdone by the gorgeous jewelry, and she looked no older than fifteen.

 

She was not afraid to exchange words with the empress, and her eyes lit up when she talked about tariffs and insurance, which would not interest an ordinary daughter.
Above all, Alexei’s sister is the grandchild of Prince Sergei.
If Ekaterina had indeed come up with this glass pen, she might have taken after her grandfather.

 

“You want to make a business out of glass pens, or is Duchess Yurinova going to run a workshop herself?”

 

“…She asked me to buy it for her, so I think she should be responsible for it.”

Constantine finally broke into laughter.

 

“She would like to pay the wages of the craftsmen, and she should be shouldering responsibilities for them? That sister of yours is truly noble and endearing.” (Constantine)

 

And Alexei smiled, he couldn’t help but be proud of his sister, even though he didn’t want the imperial family to appreciate her.

 

“Then tell Ekaterina.
I will buy this glass pen as a gift for the Empress, and I will have a craftsman make one as beautiful as this one.”

 

Those who were close to the imperial family knew for a fact that Emperor Constantine would personally order the purchase of any items that were offered to the Emperor or the Imperial family that was worthy of his attention.
This was so that he could give it as a gift to the Empress.
As expected of a man who had been using every trick in the book to woo his wife since he was a student, Constantine was very diligent.

 

Anyway, if it was a gift for the emperor, everyone would recognize it as a first-class item, but if it was a gift from the emperor to the empress, the reputation would be elevated to an even higher level.
