Instead of answering, she smoothly lifted her lips into a wide smile. Though they parted in the happiest way possible, that evening they couldn't cook together. This was because the worst possible event occurred—their marriage contract disappeared from his room. After the contract was stolen last time, Charte had become cautious and placed it in a secret safe behind a painting, but someone had stolen it during the night. The room was clean with no trace of anyone having entered, but Charte…-

After resolving the situation in the grand conference room, Charte hurried to the empress's palace, using the excuse that he was worried about the collapsed empress, even postponing his work. As soon as they met again, they embraced each other with hearts that felt like they might burst. They stayed like that for a long time without saying anything, feeling each other's warmth and sharing each other's breath. "I missed you. I longed for you." "I missed you so much too. When you weren't there, I…

Backed into a corner, they even posed questions about the empire's history, science, mathematics, and other curriculum subjects, but these posed no problem for Leila, who had been exceptionally brilliant. "Answering in this setting makes me feel like I've been stripped naked. It's shameful. By what authority do you commit such rudeness to me? And did you not see the records showing I graduated top of my class from the academy? The verification seems to be over, so I will now stand up and leave." The…

Even as he sat drinking the tea Leila served, Whyman's gaze never left her. "Yes. Drinking tea you brewed late at night was the happiest thing." Leila smiled brightly. "Leila, let's continue the conversation we couldn't finish earlier. Why did all this happen?" "It was something I did because I couldn't bear my life. Looking at how I've returned like this, fate seems terribly persistent." "You mean it was your intention?" "Yes, I'll be honest with you. It was all my intention. I hated the…

Seeing Duke Whyman who came with a dazed face, she felt like a criminal who had sold out her country. She had suddenly had an accident, lost consciousness, and woke up as Leila, but now she felt like a traitor. "Fath—, no, I almost made another mistake. I'm sorry, Prime Minister Whyman." "Is it true that you're not Leila, not my daughter?" Not knowing what expression to show Prime Minister Whyman, she lowered her gaze and just nodded. "Then where is our Leila?" "She seems to be in my…

It was a deep, dark night with not a single star visible in the sky. A plain, unadorned carriage entered the Whyman ducal residence. Ivester and Gardio, who had pulled his hood deeply over his head from his black robe, got out one after another and went inside. Prime Minister Whyman was waiting for them in his study. Ivester and Gardio greeted him politely and sat across from him. Before coming here, Ivester had gone to consult with Yun-ah. He had considered ways to avoid telling the…

"I told you before that I have to go back." Her heart felt like it was being torn apart by Charte's gaze, which had changed as if he had been abandoned by the world and everything in his life had collapsed. How could a person make such a pained expression? It was painful just to look at Charte. "You're really going back? Is that your wish? Are you serious?" Seeing Charte in such distress made her feel like her heart was being shredded to pieces, and unable to bear it, she looked away. At…

Even Ivester, who had been born in a duke's family, received education, and worked as a palace official since becoming an adult, always having calmness ingrained in his body, looked at me with an ashen face. "What did you just say? Who knows what?" "Yasrin knows about my identity, and she even knows about Gardio's existence." Perhaps shocked, Ivester roughly rubbed his face dry, continuously wiping it down. "Where is Gardio now?" "He's not coming out of the magic tower, saying he has a lot…

Crash! The sound of breaking glass was so loud that Judith, feeling it was absolutely necessary, opened the door and entered without permission. "Your Majesty the Empress, Princess Yasrin." Seeing Judith enter, I performed once more with all my heart. With tears welling up in my eyes, I looked at Judith, then released all strength from my body and collapsed right there. A pale-faced Judith came toward me as I collapsed and shouted for the maids. "Bring the royal physician…

"What do you mean?" "I said I wanted us to get along, but are you refusing? If so, please leave." "Ah, no. I'll drink it. But please give me a different tea. This one doesn't suit my taste." "This tea is also used as medicine. I'm serving you tea that's good for your health." Yasrin was visibly trying to contain her irritation, but I elegantly pretended not to notice as I spoke. "Since a precious guest has visited, I want to serve the most valuable tea, so I'll be the one to choose." Just…
