Knock knock knock. "Your Majesty, I heard Marquis Borche has regained consciousness. May I enter?" It was Grand Duke Hippocan's voice. Selvia adjusted her posture and sat upright to receive him. "Marquis. I'm so relieved. How worried we were......" He immediately checked Selvia's condition. Though still pale, her complexion had improved since she collapsed. "Has the lake been connected to the irrigation system?" "Yes, work is underway immediately. Thanks to you, the farmers' faces are…-

"This is the place." The condition of the lake they arrived at was worse than expected. From the bare trees around to its color alone, it looked impossible to revive. "Can you revive it?" Hippocan asked without hope in his voice. Selvia bent down and put her hand in the lake. 'The inside is still okay though......' It would strain her body, but there was no other way. After confirming that the shadow had returned to her side, she pulled the dark energy from the…

Ratius, who had changed into neat clothes, plopped down not across from Selvia but right beside her. Startled, she shifted slightly to the side. Swiftly pulling her back to close the distance, Ratius pointed at the documents. "It's easier to look at documents together like this than sitting face to face." "I don't think we need to sit this close." "Ah, my throat hurts right now so I can't speak loudly." His whispered voice in her ear made her body jolt. Her skin prickled at his moist…

"......Is this really okay?" Hadn't he been sensitive about meeting Amon? Selvia made eye contact with Amon, not understanding. But he too just blinked, indicating he didn't know. Selvia responded with a disgruntled face. "If the temple comes along, it will help since people won't be as wary of me as a stranger." "If you're happy with it, then I am too." Ratius tucked Selvia's hair behind her ear and smiled softly. Then he said kindly, "I have something to discuss with the High Priest,…

With that as the start, the black power around her shadow gradually grew in volume. Charlotte's body trembled from an unknown force. Selvia no longer needed to hide her power. Rather, showing it openly was the most efficient way of persuasion. Since Ratius had seen the prophecy and chosen her, now she needed to show that she was the chosen one herself. "N-not the power of light." "This looks like...... darkness as black as pitch." The frightened nobles stepped back hesitantly. At the…

Time passed quickly and the day of the banquet arrived. Though she had been busy since morning, she didn't feel tired due to nervousness. Selvia finished her preparations and looked in the mirror. She wore a tiara decorated with rare jewels she had never worn before. Not only that, but she looked unprecedentedly elegant and radiant in a silver dress that contrasted with her black hair. Today was her first appearance before them as Selvia of the Karina Empire. Trying not to be nervous, Selvia…

After moving directly to the palace through the portal, Ratius sat Selvia on the bed. He examined her condition and then sat down heavily beside her. "I'm really fine." "That doesn't seem right when your condition suddenly looks much worse." "I'll recover quickly if I just rest a bit." It definitely seems like overprotection. Selvia stared at Ratius directly as she spoke. "Your Majesty, are you anxious about me? Or is it that you don't trust me?" "......How could that be. Why…

The next morning, Selvia quickly finished preparing to go to the temple. Because she informed Ratius in advance, she could use a portal that led directly to the temple. Upon arriving at the temple, Selvia tilted her head back again to look up at its magnificent appearance. "No matter how many times I come, I can't get used to this building." The holy power seemed even more intense than before. Selvia carefully steadied her breathing and cautiously entered. Just as she was wondering how to…

Selvia lay awake in bed, recalling last night. 'That was dangerous.' It was still vivid as if it happened today. She struggled to regain her composure. She requested breakfast in her room. "Something is definitely different." Selvia felt that the meals had changed somehow. While previously the meals focused on meat, recently she noticed more dishes incorporating meat, fish, and vegetables. But since she wasn't particularly picky about food, she ate well whatever was served. "Today's…

The extensive two-week etiquette lessons finally ended. Though intensive, there was nothing more to learn. The teachers who taught Selvia praised her without exception. "Your Majesty, what do you think? In my view, she seems ready." "We'll have to check." Belrocan and Ratius discussed while looking at the evaluation reports from Selvia's teachers. "Then how about having a formal dinner together after so long?" "That would be good." Belrocan immediately called a maid to deliver the…
