Charte bit his lip anxiously and clenched his fist. "Then, just as you suddenly came, does that mean you could suddenly disappear one day?" "I don't know exactly, but probably, it seems so." Determined not to let go, Charte held her tightly. Then he kept muttering, whether to her or to himself, it wasn't clear. "No. Absolutely not. I can't send you away like that." "But I can't not go. Every night I hear Leila's voice begging to be saved. I can't ignore those screams." "I cannot send you…-

Late at night, a suspicious-looking man deeply covered in a black robe was moving cautiously in the moonlight, protected by knights, toward the Seventh Annex Palace. When one knight gave a signal, the door opened, and the group quickly entered. Once safely inside, the man took off the hood he had been wearing and exhaled the breath he had been holding. "The princess is waiting." The man in the black robe and four knights immediately bent one knee in formal greeting upon seeing…

Neiyard had an embarrassed face and was even sweating. Elisha was the only one unaware of the cold atmosphere flowing in the room. She wanted to say something more, but each time, Duke Neiyard beside her firmly held her hand to stop her from speaking. "I should rest now." "Yes. Thank you for granting us an audience. I sincerely hope for your swift recovery." Elisha, with a very disappointed face but eyes full of expectation, said. "Your Majesty, may I come again next…

She sat at her desk and began reviewing documents again. Her only thought was to finish quickly and go see Charte. "Your Majesty the Empress!" "I drank it all. I just sat down. Is it because of the tea? I'm not cold at all now." While Judith was examining her with suspicious eyes, a voice of salvation was heard. "Your Majesty the Empress, Minister Pahorder requests an audience." After dismissing everyone else, she sat face to face with Ivester alone. What had seemed like salvation a…

On a quiet night, we were able to spend time alone together at last. Being able to lie next to him during this time was so precious and happy. Though we were only holding hands since he hadn't fully recovered yet, the mere fact that he had awakened was enough to make me feel satisfied and grateful. After Charte regained consciousness, we received reports on the investigation progress until evening and concluded a meeting with my father, Duke Pahorder, Viscount Catano, and Imperial Guard Commander…

Several more days passed, but Charte did not wake up. She stayed by his side the entire time. Her heart was burned black, leaving only an empty shell, making normal life impossible. She had been told there was much to do in Charte's place, but she couldn't do anything. All day long, she only prayed desperately to someone unknown, begging for him to wake up, promising that she’ll never do bad things and that she’ll live a good life forever. It was while she was wiping Charte's face with a…

Charte, who was looking at documents handed to him by Catano in the lounge, turned his attention to the commotion outside. When Catano hurriedly went outside, Yasrin was arguing with the imperial guards who were blocking her. "Princess Yasrin, His Majesty is currently working. Please do not cause a disturbance." "Move aside, Catano. This is a matter between him and me." "I cannot allow that." Catano spoke with a firm face, looking at Yasrin. At that moment, Yasrin's hand flew accurately…

"Judith, I'll start getting ready." In the toilette, she spent five hours on makeup, hair styling, putting on the dress, and wearing accessories. "We're finished. If we leave now, we can arrive on time." She headed to the main palace where the party was being held with her ladies-in-waiting. As she climbed the stairs to the grand banquet hall and walked down the corridor, she was reminded of the wedding party. How much had she cursed Charte for always arriving later than her! Thinking…

When she asked with a smile, Charte's face became surprised as if something had occurred to him. "Your stories!" "That's right. Princess Yasrin is showing the typical behavior pattern of a villainess." After being lost in thought for a moment, a sigh filled with anguish escaped from Charte's lips. "If the scandal fails, she might target my life, but I don't think she would go that far. Princess Yasrin is human after all." A flash of anxiety crossed Charte's eyes, but he seemed to shake it…

Busy footsteps echoed in the corridor. Brady shouted as he crossed the threshold of the office. "Where is His Grace?" "He just went inside, what's the matter?" When Brady urgently sought Lorendis, the apprentice aide working in the office made way. According to protocol, one should knock twice and identify oneself first, but Brady spoke as he opened the door. "Your Grace, it's Brady. I'm coming in." Lorendis tilted his head at the sight of Brady who had urgently opened the door and entered.…-
