THE WEATHER'S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. ON A DAY LIKE THIS, YOU JUST WANT TO LAZE AROUND AT HOME, AND TAKE A NICE, LONG NAP- -ATTENTION EVERYONE-!!! SOMETHING INCREDIBLE HAS... HAPPENED...! ...WHAT IS IT, BESS? Something incredible? WELL, I WAS LOOKING AT THE SKY... A LITTLE WHILE AGO... AND I SAW A BIRD FLYING BY. ITS WINGS WERE SO COOL THAT I STARED AT IT BLANKLY— ...BIRD TALK OUT OF NOWHERE? Oho— IS BESS ACTUALLY A MASSIVE BIRD LOVER...? BESS. DIDN'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS? WHEN YOU WANT TO BRING SOMETHING UP, FIRST, TAKE A DEEP BREATH. IN- OUT. IN- OUT. AND THEN YOU START WITH THE MAIN POINT. YES! ...SO THAT WAS ALSO BESS'S WAY OF SPEAKING. SO- SEEING THE BIRD IN THE SKY REMINDED ME OF THE CARRIER PIGEON WE SENT TO CAMELOT CASTLE, SO I CHECKED, AND IT TURNS OUT NEW INFORMATION HAD ARRIVED. ACCORDING TO THAT REPORT, THERE REALLY WAS A SECRET SPACE AT THE LOCATION YOU MENTIONED, AND- THEY ALSO DISCOVERED THE IRON ORE HIDDEN INSIDE?!! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! MY GOODNESS, SO WHAT RINA SAID WAS ACTUALLY TRUE?! TO THINK YOU SOLVED SOMETHING THAT WAS GIVING US SUCH A HEADACHE IN AN INSTANT... YOU'VE GOT SOME SERIOUS SKILLS, RINA! DEREK, TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. IT'S BLINDING JUST LOOKING AT RINA RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE SLOW. I'VE HAD MY EYES CLOSED FOR A WHILE NOW. I GUESS WE'LL NEED A LIGHT-BLOCKING MAGICAL ARTIFACT FOR THE OFFICE. HEHE, I DIDN'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO PRAISE ME THIS MUCH. JUST LISTENING TO THEM, SOMEHOW IT FEELS... ...THRILLING?! OF COURSE, THIS IS HALF JUST A LUCKY GUESS THANKS TO MY PAST LIFE'S MEMORIES, BUT... PRAISE MAKES EVEN RINA WANT TO DANCE Rina's So Cool~ Rina's The Best~ NOTHING COMPARES TO GETTING PRAISED AND ACKNOWLEDGED! This never happened in the Treasury Department...! IT'S NOT COMPLETELY OVER YET. WE NEED TO DISPATCH THE INSPECTION TEAM TO RETRIEVE ALL THE IRON ORE, AND KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON DUKE CAMELOT'S FUTURE MOVEMENTS. EVEN IF HE'S IN PRISON RIGHT NOW, WE CAN'T LET OUR GUARD DOWN. IRON ORE IS A MATERIAL FOR WEAPONS, AFTER ALL. HE DEFINITELY HAD AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE FOR SECRETLY HOARDING IT INSTEAD OF SELLING IT. I SHOULD TELL THE FIELD MEMBERS TO MONI- TOR THE ESTATE AND THE PRISON AS WELL~ ALL RIGHT, THEN I'LL CONTACT THE INSPECTION TEAM. RINA, YOU'RE THE BEST! HEHE. THIS IS HONESTLY... MAKING ME ENJOY WORKING-! ...HUU. THIS IS HONESTLY... DESTROYING MY MOTIVATION TO WORK... ...IT'S ALREADY BEEN OVER A WEEK SINCE I LAST SAW MISS DIAZ. BEFORE, A WEEK WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECTLY NORMAL AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT NOW... ...EVEN SEEING HER EVERY SINGLE DAY ISN'T ENOUGH. WE CONFIRMED OUR FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER DURING OUR LAST MEETING, SO I THOUGHT I COULD WAIT AS LONG AS SHE NEEDED IF SHE WANTED TIME. I WAS COMPLETELY MISTAKEN. IN FACT, AS TIME PASSES... MY CRAVING FOR MISS DIAZ... ONLY GROWS DEEPER AND DEEPER. LIKE DRINKING SEAWATER. AS IF I'M DROWNING IN AN INESCAPABLE THIRST... MORE AND MORE... WH-WHO'S THERE? IT IS I, YOUR MAJESTY. YOU SEEM TO BE IN A FOUL MOOD, AS ALWAYS. STILL, I COME BEARING QUITE GOOD NEWS TODAY. THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE IRON ORE THAT CAMELOT HAD HIDDEN HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED. WHERE DID YOU FIND IT? IT SEEMS HE HID IT ALL IN A SECRET SPACE WITHIN THE LORD'S CASTLE. I HAVE JUST ORDERED THE INSPECTION TEAM TO BE DISPATCHED TO RETRIEVE IT ALL. ...I SUPPOSE THAT ADDS ONE MORE CHARGE TO CAMELOT'S CRIMES. THEY SAY A LONG TAIL IS BOUND TO BE STEPPED ON, BUT IT TRULY WAS NOT EASY THIS TIME. THIS WAS ALL THANKS TO MISS RINA. ...WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? AH, MISS RINA PROVIDED THE INFORMATION ON CAMELOT'S LORD'S CASTLE-- NO, BEFORE THAT. AND JUST NOW. WHAT DID YOU... ...JUST CALL MISS DIAZ? I MESSED UP. I ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO TEASE HIM TO MY HEART'S CONTENT, BUT... Rina Said It's Okay For Me To Use Her First Name~ Jealous, aren't you? IF I MESS AROUND RIGHT NOW... I WILL BE FINISHED OFF BY A BOSS BLINDED BY JEALOUSY...! ...ALL THE MEMBERS OF BLUE HAWK CALL MISS DIAZ "LINA." I WAS SIMPLY JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON. ...I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE OTHERS, BUT YOU CANNOT. WHY NOT? YOU JUST CANNOT. THEN YOUR MAJESTY SHOULD TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CALL HER BY A NICKNAME AS WELL. ARE YOU TWO NOT CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THAT? ...BUT MISS DIAZ... SHE'S BEEN SO BUSY LATELY THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MEET AT ALL. BECAUSE A CERTAIN SOMEONE PUSHED MISS DIAZ INTO A BUSY WORKPLACE, IT'S GOTTEN EVEN HARDER TO SEE HER FACE DESPITE WORKING IN THE SAME INNER PALACE. IT'S GOOD THAT SHE IS FINDING FULFILLMENT AT WORK AND DISPLAYING HER COMPETENCE, BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE SHE LIKES WORK MORE THAN SHE LIKES ME. TO THINK MY RIVAL IS NEITHER A PERSON NOR AN OBJECT, BUT WORK... PL-PLEASE CALM DOWN, YOUR MAJESTY. RI- MISS DIAZ IS JUST IN THE PHASE OF ADAPTING TO HER NEW DUTIES. SHE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND SOME FREE TIME SOON. NO, THAT WILL NOT DO. KYLE, CAN YOU ADJUST MY SCHEDULE A BIT? IF POSSIBLE, ADJUST MISS DIAZ'S SCHEDULE AS WELL. IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE, BUT FOR WHAT REASON...? I AM THINKING OF TAKING A SHORT TRIP TO THE SUBURBS. SINCE THERE ARE IMPERIAL VILLAS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CAPITAL, WE CAN GO TO ONE OF THOSE. MISS DIAZ SEEMS TO ENJOY LOOKING AT BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. ...BESIDES, SINCE WE HAVE ONLY EVER MET IN SECLUDED PARTS OF THE INNER PALACE UNTIL NOW, THERE HASN'T BEEN THE PLACE OR SITUATION FOR THE TWO OF US TO INTIMATELY... DO SOMETHING. Ahh, Miss Diaz.. She must be in that Blue Hawk building.. ...EVEN THE CLOSEST IMPERIAL VILLA TO THE CAPITAL... ...WOULD TAKE AT LEAST THREE DAYS ROUND TRIP... DOES THIS MEAN THE TWO OF YOU ARE GOING ON A TRIP? ...?! TH-THAT... NOT EVEN A DAY'S TRIP, BUT A PLAN THAT REQUIRES STAY- ING TOGETHER FOR SEVERAL DAYS... -HAS MISS DIAZ AGREED TO THIS? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Unbeknownst to Me, I’m Secretly Dating the Emperor #39](/series/unbeknownst-to-me-i-m-secretly-dating-the-emperor-hr359apd/chapter-39-5nqzwr) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/unbeknownst-to-me-i-m-secretly-dating-the-emperor-hr359apd ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
