Late at night, a secret passage in the imperial palace opened without anyone knowing. Following behind Rils, a man and woman with their faces hidden under large hoods passed through a complex maze to arrive at a prepared chamber. "You may remove your hoods now." The man and woman who removed their hoods at these words were the former Duke and Duchess of Theon, Elia's parents. Rils, who could move freely while avoiding others' eyes, had once again provided great help to Rockfort. "Your…-

The morning at the empress's quarters was busy. Already, the weather had grown warmer, and it was the season when windows were opened and ladies-in-waiting began fanning. "We're almost finished." Elia's platinum blonde hair shimmered brilliantly as she sat in a beautifully crafted chair, and her dress, the same color as her blue eyes, accentuated her elegant figure with its many layers. "Your Majesty the Empress, I'll bring the mirror." When Hannah brought the mirror and held it in front of…

In the late morning after lunch time, when Elia's arrival was announced, the head lady-in-waiting, grand chamberlain, and the two ladies were already lined up to greet her at the entrance of the pavilion where Leticia was staying. "Her Majesty the Empress arrives!" When the grand chamberlain spoke in a loud, dignified voice, everyone else bowed deeply to show respect for the empress. Was it just her imagination? No, it was actually quite obvious. While everyone was bowing low and looking at the…

"Actually, I have something to tell you." Rockfort's voice was unusually low and solemn. "I always want to tell you only happy things...... but there are still many unresolved matters." "It's alright. I'm prepared for that much." Elia looked at Rockfort with a steady gaze. She had already learned from experience that life couldn't contain only good things. She also knew well that without tying up the past, they couldn't move forward. "I'd rather tie everything up definitively. Whatever…

The assembly seemed to be proceeding without any special incidents today, but it began to stir slightly when Duke Belest stepped forward, stroking his white beard. "Now that all the royal wedding procedures have been completed and sufficient time has passed, performing the remaining ceremonies would set an example for the empire." "What remaining ceremonies?" Rockfort's purple eyes glared at Duke Belest as he asked indifferently. "Since the former emperor and empress dowager are in the imperial…

Leticia's complexion was pale after receiving the empress dowager's letter and not getting a wink of sleep all night. "Moth...... er......! Flower!" Kaya had grown much more talkative and regained the vitality of her age compared to when she first returned to the imperial palace. "Yes, Kaya. Come here." Leticia's purple eyes filled with sadness as she tightly embraced the innocent child who still knew nothing. "Ugh...... Kaya, can't...... breathe." Kaya struggled in her arms, perhaps…

Even after several days, no letter arrived. For a day or two, she thought the carrier pigeons needed time, but as a week was nearly up, her nerves were on edge whenever a servant entered. "My lady, the repairs to the quarters are almost complete. Some furniture was old, so the Internal Affairs Department has agreed to provide new pieces." Seeing the head chamberlain's empty hands without a letter again today, Elia nodded. She felt deflated, thinking the few words she had courageously written seemed…

Victor carefully buttoned the gold buttons on Rockfort's shirt. Marienne stood beside him, displaying several boxes containing cufflinks. "The second box." "Yes." Rockfort's gaze shifted to the row of cufflinks. Usually quick to decide, today he was unusually particular, starting from the shirt selection. "Remove the first row." "Yes." "That one, that one, and...... that one too." His long fingers pointed at each decoration in the box. Then his finger hovered in the air above the box…

Once the fire was lit, Rockfort tore off his ceremonial robe and shirt roughly and impatiently, not even noticing that the buttons were being ripped off. Seeing Rockfort half-naked in an instant, Elia unconsciously bit her lip tightly. "I told you that would have the opposite effect." Her head felt foggy, making his voice seem distant. Only his hot tongue boldly exploring her mouth and the heat between them felt vivid. But today they wouldn't stop here. As if both their instincts knew this…

— Today, her husband had taken the child on horseback to the royal palace in the morning, allowing her to meet Charlotte and enjoy a leisurely tea time after a long while. The child had so much energy that even playing with him briefly could drain all her strength, yet he had been playing with him until now? Moreover, this time after dinner and before bedtime was when he usually concentrated on business planning in his study. "The young master is having such a good time that his laughter…-
