"Empress, I think it would be better for you to focus on the event. And I hate insincere compliments, a kind of flattery or adulation, so don't waste your time on such useless acts." 'Tsk, how petty. So petty!' Feeling offended, she quickly turned her gaze toward the people waiting for the event. Perhaps because wealthy commoners were also present, the welcoming atmosphere felt different from usual. Those attending an event hosted by the imperial couple for the first time showed much more…-

Both my eyes and Ivester's simultaneously turned toward the source of the sound. There stood a completely unexpected figure. It was none other than Charte! Though surprised and flustered, she quickly collected herself and greeted him. "Your Majesty, what brings you here so suddenly?" "The empress seems busy, so I'll take my leave." "Not at all. We were just briefly discussing the items we cherished after the meeting ended. Since participation is still low, the Minister Pahorder and I need…

She looked at him with a relaxed, victorious smile, silently pressuring him to approve her life extension. "You've made it impossible for me not to listen next week." He was about to leave but stopped at the door. "I acknowledge the empress's exceptional talent." "What?" She was dumbfounded, not understanding the situation. But he left like the wind. "Kyaa!" After he left, she jumped, rolled around, and screamed with excitement. She had received her first compliment from…

The attendants smiled. Another attendant entered carrying a black slip dress. "Kyaa, it's so sexy, Your Majesty the Empress! You wear this underneath and then put that on top." Today's nightwear felt quite explicit. I was already uncomfortable with all the talk about seduction lately...... And though I knew it was the attendants' duty to dress me up, it was pointless to be so elaborately prepared. We were merely in a contractual relationship. Seduction wouldn't help fulfill the…

"If it weren't for your sister's confession, your family would have been completely wiped out. Consider yourself lucky that it ends with just you. And how dare a baron's daughter speak informally to the empress. Watch your mouth." "Mary, that fox-like wicked girl—I always knew she would ruin our family someday. If it weren't for her—!" "I told you to watch your mouth." "Leila...... no, Your Majesty the Empress, I'm truly wronged. Why would I write such things on paper? It doesn't make sense.…

The empress's party that arrived at the Second Annex Palace was guided by Viscount Catano to where Charte was. As they got closer, the sharp sound of swords clashing grew louder. Though she wanted to run immediately as time was of the essence, there were too many eyes watching, so she couldn't. Why were these people walking so slowly today of all days? The empress's life was at stake, yet they maintained this elegant, aristocratic pace! "Your Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Empress and…

Upon learning about the empress's troubles, Ivester hurriedly prepared to enter the palace. Things were calm for now, but not knowing when Emperor Charte might go berserk, he had bribed the servants and maids of the Empress's Palace. Anxious and worried, Ivester kept urging his coachman to hurry. But when his carriage suddenly tilted and stopped in front of the palace, Ivester's body lurched forward. Ivester and his servant opened the door and went out. "What's happening?" A woman he had…

Charte's gaze turned to Princess Hyrelia. "What happened to Princess Yasrin that night?" Angered by Princess Hyrelia's behavior, she immediately spoke up. "Your Majesty, I also ask that you reveal the truth about tonight's incident. So that no other innocent person suffers in the attempt to uncover a past event." Princess Hyrelia glared at her, and she glared back with determination not to back down. Charte, who had been watching them both, stood up without a word, followed by Viscount…

The fact that it didn't seem entirely impossible troubled her. After all, he was someone who had already disposed of someone in front of her on their wedding day. But he didn't seem like someone who would torment a woman he loved. At least based on what she had seen of him so far. He kept his promises better than expected, listened well to what she said, and considered it. He was someone who appreciated the hardships and efforts of his chosen wife and valued the honor of the imperial…

"Your Majesty the Empress, welcome. Thank you for graciously accepting my invitation." "Not at all. I merely did what was proper. I'm more grateful to receive an invitation from a princess of an allied nation." "Your words leave me at a loss. I was certain you would decline. As you know, our kingdom has committed a grave wrong." The princess looked at her with a sorrowful expression. She's already picking at wounds before we've even sat at the table. Scratch all you want. I won't even…
