" I can see that you have worked hard Duke," Bree smiled at Duke Cilantro, even though what she wanted was to knee the jerk in his nuts, she still looked at him and smiled with all her might. Why was she even working as the Queen anyway? She should go ahead and become an actress. Maybe if she gets a chance to return to her world, she will try to change her line of a profession once and for all. After all, being an actress brought a lot of money even if she has to work hard every day and she was good-looking, to begin with, if not then those men would not have been smitten with her.

" I have to say that I am very impressed by your hard work." Bree glanced around the entire hunting ground which resembled a mini palace instead of a normal hunting ground. In the middle of the hunting ground stood a tent that was as big as a palace with a bunch of hunting dogs tied in front of it. The rest of the tents were just as big and extravagantly classy looking, for a second she had to blink her eyes and make sure that she was really seeing this extremely expensive sight in front of her.

’Goodness this lot, just how much money have they all pocketed? Just looking at these tents was enough to make her feel tense, now she has to work even hard. God!’

" As long as your majesty likes it," Duke Cilantro rose and straightened his spine with the help of his aide, after all, his heavy build was clear evidence of all the money that he stomached. " I have worked hard to make this hunting event as fun as possible just as you requested me to do so."

Bree sensed the gazes of the nobles standing behind the Duke turn to her direction and at once an unsettling feeling rose in her heart. She thought that her enemy was only the Duke but now that she was looking at the nobles, she could see that she wasn’t just fighting against the Duke, she was fighting against the entire senate of nobles of this territory.

Those greedy eyes and contemptuous gaze were something that she will never mistake in all her life. Blimey, how was she going to do it? How was she going to fight these people? She was scared, oh she was so scared ... run, she have to run——

A hand curled around her waist while someone twirled a lock of her hair, the sudden warmth snapped her out of her panic and she turned to look at Yakov and Blaise who were standing next to her. Yakov was still as stoic as ever but she could feel his hand pressing at her back while Blaise was smiling like a nine-tailed fox looking at the Duke and the nobles with a not so smiling gaze.

The pressure that was weighing down on her shoulders was lifted slightly and then she turned to look at the nobles in front of her. That’s right, she was no longer Brianna of the modern world who has to walk around her superiors and colleagues on eggshells, she was Brianna Dragonire, the Empress of this world. She didn’t need to fear these people, she has to be confident and bold ...she can do this...she can pretend as long as she pretends that she can do this then she will be able to do it.

" Why? Who asked you to raise your head and look at me like that?" She didn’t raise her voice but the authority that came from within her was right there, she looked at the nobles standing behind the Duke and arched a brow. " I only asked my dear Duke to stand up straight, when did I tell you to raise your head and look at me, did I give you all my permission? If not then why are you looking at me, who do you think your queen is?"

" Forgive us, your majesty!" The nobles immediately dropped to their knees and the invisible contempt that she could sense vanished altogether. She did it, she fought back a little... how many times has she just sucked it up? Now, this was a lot better, wasn’t it?

" Ah forgive them, your majesty," Duke Cilantro rubbed his hands with a slight frown. He told these idiots that they should not do anything to make the Empress upset, they need to make her feel as overjoyed as possible, the happier she was the more the drug will work.

Goodness looks at them, making extra work for him.

He glared at his subjects before turning to look at Bree with a greasy smile and said, " Please forgive them for my sake, your majesty. They have never been to the Empire and only heard of your esteemed self, that is why they couldn’t stop themselves from basking in the light of your royal aura, please forgive their sin."

" If what they have committed is a sin, then should they not compensate me with their lives?" Bree questioned with a smile that was so threatening that even Duke Cilantro felt sluggish for a minute as he swallowed hard and said, " Excuse me, your majesty?"

" Why are you looking at me like that, Duke?" Bree threw her hand around the Duke’s shoulders, she smiled and patted him lightly. " I was just joking, don’t tell me that I can’t even joke with my wonderful subjects? After all, you are my closest subject, the old men in the senate at the capital really don’t care about me at all, only you, my Duke know what I want. I really appreciate your understanding and care, you know that right?"

"Of course, your majesty." Duke Cilantro hurriedly nodded his head and took a shaky breath as relief washed over him and he turned to look at Bree who was holding him by his neck. Maybe he was thinking about it too much but something about the Queen’s grip around his neck made him feel like she wanted to snap his neck in half. He was thinking too much right?

But he still took a step back and created some distance between himself and Bree as he cleared his throat and then looked at her with a smile. " I will bring you to your tent, your majesty. I specially hired a mage to set this tent for you, didn’t leave a single expense at all, so would you please come with me?"

Bree studied him long and hard making Duke Cilantro feel a bit stifled but then she smiled causing his tense nerves to relax. " Sure, after all the Duke has worked so hard for me, how can I not appreciate your hard work? Let’s go, I will be taking a break and then we will start on the hunt, is that all right?"

" Of course, this is not all right," Yakov pressed a temple to his forehead as he gazed at the hunting dogs that were sniffing around and turned to look at Blaise. " You have to do something, those dogs must be trained to find magical creatures, you have to stop them from doing so, are you listening to me?"

" Hmm?" Blaise raised his head and stopped his actions of patting the dogs as he looked at Yakov and smiled with a sly glint in his eyes. " Were you talking to me? I thought talking to a wild one would lower your esteem, that is why I thought that you were talking to them."

He pointed to the dogs and smiled at Yakov with mischief glinting in their eyes.

Yakov heaved a deep breath and looked at Blaise with an exasperated look on his face as he said, " Do you think this is funny? These dogs can create a lot more trouble than you think, the Duke might give the Queen the weakest one and take the rest away with him, if these dogs found the magical creatures before the Queen could put an end to the hunt then we will have a hell lot of trouble waiting for us in the capital."

" You don’t have to tell me that," Blaise raised his eyes and rubbed his forefinger and thumb before snickering. " Do you think that I was patting these things because I like them? I was taking care of them, they will not be able to hunt for any magical creature, forget about looking for magical creatures, they wouldn’t be able to hunt down even small animals."

Yakov squinted at him with a suspicious look on his face and said, " I can sense that you have done something extra, did you not? You never do anything that isn’t fun, so what did you?"

" Why do you want to know that?" Blaise hooked a side of his mouth up and looked at Yakov with a grin. " You just need to stay still and watch a good show and maybe learn a few things while you are at it."
