Meanwhile, there was someone else who couldn't sleep. Princess Jains stared at the window with anxious eyes. "Really, marriage......" Marriage, with a man she didn't even love. Princess Jains clenched her fists with eyes that looked ready to cry. Coming this far was absolutely not of her will. The King of Jains was a greedy person. 'The King of Federico will attack Lorenzo. How could an empire possibly lose to a kingdom? Besides, the empire has Princess Marian too. With a mage, what is there…-

Led by a force she didn't understand, Rosette turned and walked down the corridor. Banished to the room farthest from Marian's bedroom, Rosette became trapped there. The nuisance was gone. Abel stared at Marian in his arms. "Did something scary happen?" "......The world is naturally scary, Abel. That's why things like this happen to you and me. Medicine that damages the womb… who would even think of such a thing." "So you're angry?" Abel asked gently. "......Benjamin must not become…

It was as if they could hear ice freezing. Abel glared at the head butler. "To Marian?" "Yes." It was a confirmation kill. Damage Marian's womb? The head butler revealed the truth without any hesitation. So they're bothered by the bloodline Marian might give birth to. "Is Marian taking that medicine?" Abel's gaze turned to Rosette. Rosette felt goosebumps rising all over her body. Rosette shook her head. It meant she had never put such medicine in anything. "N-Not yet. I heard…

She saw Liebe searching desperately for Marian, fearlessly returning. She saw Liebe holding the dead Marian and wailing. 'No, Your Highness! How can this be! Take me with you too. I want to go too!' She saw Liebe crying loudly like a child. She saw Liebe who truly mourned Marian's death and missed her. Because of her, Marian was not alone. Marian's eyes widened as she felt tears coming. All the hallucinations cleared and only the young Liebe remained. 'I won't leave you alone again,…

Rosette clutched her head. Words she had never told anyone spilled out smoothly. 'Stop talking!' Rosette had just confessed to murder. Yet Rosette's mouth wouldn't stop. "The, the only one who protects me is Her Highness! After the old maid serving Her Highness died, the head servant sent me here. Those filthy servant bastards. They're no different from the street thugs. Me, who had no power...... me......" Rosette drew in a sharp breath. "It was me. I said I would come. The black-haired…

"......Has the princess learned the art of the bedchamber?" The Emperor muttered grumpily. "Your Majesty!" The secretaries called out to the Emperor with shocked expressions. Such things were learned by women on the streets. It wasn't something a noble princess should learn. The Emperor raised his eyebrows. "What exactly has that girl learned from the streets! She should be useful at times like this! If nothing else works, tell her to take off her clothes!" The secretaries kept their mouths…

Today was better than yesterday, hidden behind such crude wrapping. Marian had become a woman before he knew it. She had grown at least two spans taller than when he last saw her, and her cheeks had hollowed out making her face slender. Moreover, her now luxuriant hair gave off a sweet fragrance. Her skin, pale as if it hadn't seen sunlight, reflected the moonlight giving off a seductive glow like a mermaid's. Abel bit his tongue tip slightly. Her exposed slender neckline remained the same.

2. The lukewarm gathering continued until evening. The Empress and Emperor had joined hands to capture the heart of Princess Jains, who would become a new member of the imperial family. Marian maintained her place beside Cesare despite feeling tired. It was good that the imperial family members and Cesare were gathered here. Since Abel said he would come tonight, there would be a magical explosion soon. By being with them, Marian could secure her own alibi. After all, only Marian and Abel could…

Princess Jains smiled faintly. Benjamin and the Empress also chatted pretending to be cheerful. Then finally, like the main character, Cesare appeared. Cesare greeted with a smiling face. His gaze brushed past Marian last. Seeing her skinny body picking at food made him lose his appetite. Cesare sat next to Marian with an uncomfortable face. But at that moment, 'What is this scent?' Cesare turned to look at Marian. It was definitely familiar...... 'Ellie!' Yes, that scent. Cesare frowned…

Just as Marian had burned down a village, Abel had experienced something similar. When Abel awakened his magic at age three, fire broke out in the northern castle. House Drake quietly settled the matter and delivered compensation to the bereaved families. But the memory of that day would never be forgotten. No one could understand that devastation. Except Marian. Abel opened and clenched his hand. 'You came looking for me.' Having regained what was lost, he would take it. ** Before…
