After arguing with Charte while abandoning all reason, she regained her senses when she saw the light coming through the window. Worried about being discovered, she tried to hide her feelings, but it escalated into an argument about hair color and personality, and they ended up parting after a fight. Was it just her imagination that the more time they spent together trying to get closer, the more distant they seemed to become? She sighed unconsciously. After thinking about it all day, she…-

Suddenly, a chill came over her, and goosebumps covered her entire body. This is a dream. It must be a dream. It has to be a dream, right? Feeling that an unbearable, frightening reality awaited if she turned around, she remained motionless like an ancient tree permanently rooted to the ground, denying everything. "The empress calls so plaintively, yet Minister Pahorder, no, Ivester is truly heartless." Though she had committed no crime, his voice was so chilling that she couldn't face…

Charte looked at Ivester with an incredulous expression, as if he couldn't believe it. "Does the imperial family and I look so easy that just anyone can covet the position of empress?" "No, absolutely not." Ivester sighed without realizing it. What on earth had Mary been thinking to attempt something so serious? The emperor was absolutely not someone to be taken lightly. The empire, being large, had many nobles who constantly engaged in power struggles around the emperor. Charte, who…

Before I knew it, what started as a short walk had brought me to the lakeside. When I was about to sit directly on the grass, a maid hurriedly approached, spread a blanket on the ground, covered me with a shawl, and then retreated. Looking at the quiet lake, I pondered the words I had heard earlier. I couldn't believe it. The fact that he had been passionate about love. That statement had upset me and made my heart ache. My feelings for him had been changing from time to time since coming…

"Empress? What are you doing now? No, do you even know what you're doing?" "I've done so much physical work that my whole body aches, and the sofa is too difficult. I'll sleep at this end so as not to disturb Your Majesty. Please think of me as invisible. You don't pay attention to me anyway." "Empress, I'm a sensitive person. I'm someone who can't sleep even if a single bean is under the bed, so how could I sleep in the same bed as another person? Get down immediately." "This was originally my…

What did I just hear? She heard a voice that she absolutely shouldn't be hearing here. She must have misheard. She reassured herself that she was hearing things because she had been thinking about him today. And she took a deep breath to relieve tension. But she felt his cool scent carried on the breeze. Impossible! She suspected, but was too afraid to even turn around. At that moment, someone approached from behind and whispered in her ear. "Are you practicing for…

Charte said with an incredulous face. "Who did you let into my room?" "It was definitely the Empress." "How can the imperial guards be so unobservant......" Charte's gaze shifted back to Mary, who was prostrate and trembling. "Who are you to dare do such a thing? Raise your head." When Mary didn't move, Charte signaled to the squad leader. As the squad leader and imperial guards carefully grabbed both arms and lifted her, Mary's dismayed face was revealed. Surprisingly, Mary's…

"Empress!" As she grabbed both sides of her dark gray skirt to curtsy, I hugged her tightly out of joy. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine, Your Majesty. How have you been?" Contrary to Peggy's answer, her face showed clear signs of illness, and her body had become noticeably thinner, making it impossible to even guess what hardships she had endured. I took Peggy's hand and led her to the sofa to sit. "I apologize for the late hour. But I heard you're leaving for a distant place tomorrow, so I…

The maid who attended to the head lady-in-waiting answered with a terrified voice. "Lady Anderson, the Empress sent some tea for comfort. What should we do?" Since it wasn't yet time to reveal her claws against the empress, Mary coldly said while removing her wig. "Bring it in." She placed the wig on the dressing table and went to the table to look at the tea set brought by the maid. The maid quickly hid her confused and fearful gaze after looking at Mary's face. Then her eyes stopped on…

Beatrice, formerly the lady of Estern and now Countess Valentine after marriage, prided herself on being quite a fortunate person. The first evidence was the fact that she was born with noble status under the most powerful empire under the sun—Tyrenia, and the second reason was that the bloodline she was born into was none other than that of the great Duke Estern. Estern was one of only three ducal families in Tyrenia, a family with endlessly vast territory and wealth accumulated over many years,…-
