Kahir asked Rosalie to become his empress < Iwill try to resume as much as I can well long story short the nobles are presuring Kahir to get married and they kind of have a contest(? to decide who will be the next empress and so our clueless protagonists go there,

Kahir doesn't want to get married but everyone pressure him into this and Rosalie is giving the task in to find a suitable empress in a week and so Kahir decides a condition that every girl in the kingdom of marriage age can participate in the selection from every noble family(I don't remember if commoners can participate)

well as Rosalie is the only daughter of her family and she thinks she is exceptent from the selection but Kahir tells her in front the nobles that there are no exceptions and she has to participate and she goes back to her family to prepare and still thinks she is just participating for appearances so her family is not sure and her brother doesn't want her to marry Kahir so

he makes an appointment for her to go on a blind date with a banker thinking that if she marries that guy she can no longer be eligible for the selection and she goes to the date but its dissapointed when the guy arrives late and starts bad mouthing Kahir so she throws tea at him and then Kahir and Derek come out

Kahir finds out she is having a blind date he has a guard following her everhywhere to protect her when he is not with her and he was jelaous that Rosalie was meeting a guy for a blind date)and ask her is she thinks that he is a tyrant well its more like if she likes him or something like that well she doesn't answer him and he tells her that she is pretty and should go home to prepare and that they will meet in a week when the selection starts well he goes back to the palace and finds out that the empress dowager is meeting with Duke Magnes

and he suspect that she is making her move for the empress selection and then the empress dowager goes to him and ask him if he can appoint Duke Magnes as one of the judge or something and he agrees and tells her on the condition that he will appoint a priest from the sacred land of Verlos(the priest of my last spoiler) and she agrees thinking that she can buy him then Derek tells him that they should hurry and form an alliance with the nobles and Kahir tells him that is better to find an empress candidate who can be by his side and so

he thinks that Rosaline is the perfect candidate because she is intelligent, pretty and wise and that's she is perfect and nobody can have a problem with her so he calls her back to the palace and when they meet he tells her that she should be his empress


PS: overall the romance is hilarious and I think it this novel would have been better if it was +r15 at least because Kahir and Rosaline have so much sexual tension:: and I end up wanting more of them and its funny because they are both clueless about their feelings both are jelaous and would do anything for each other
