The next day, the nobles entered the palace with somewhat dark expressions. "It's been a while since His Majesty called us to the palace." "That's why we're more worried." Count Savoy sighed. He only called high-ranking nobles including himself from the frontier. Though a council would have been sufficient, the Emperor didn't do that. This was essentially a warning. "It seems we've disturbed His Majesty's mood with recent events." "Even Sir Belrocan included a warning in his letter…-

Selvia held her breath quietly in Ratius's embrace. 'The burden goes to the child?' It was unwanted. Selvia placed her hand on her stomach. Such a thing must not happen. She squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed her breath. "Selvia." Ratius took Selvia's hand. She turned her head at the warm touch. Even without adding any words, she seemed to know what he wanted to say. "I'm fine." "Selvia, when you're not fine, you can say you're not fine." "......I'm not fine." How much had…

Amon arrived at the palace late at night. Since he had sent an urgent letter, the butler was waiting for him. "Welcome, High Priest. His Majesty is waiting." "Sorry for the late hour." "Not at all. His Majesty said he would wait right after seeing your letter." Amon followed the servant to the audience chamber. "I come before Your Majesty." "To get straight to the point, we plan to move up our trip to Delpheron." "Ahem ahem." Belrocan cleared his throat. He probably wanted to say…

Selvia stared at the ring. No matter how she thought about it, there was no other answer except going to Delpheron. "What could they have been thinking?" There was no subject. Selvia thought of her mother who had left her last words. Did she know about the ring too? Maybe she didn't know. Her father had only used the whole family anyway. Since her mother had the ring, he probably controlled her at will too. He passed the ring to Beatus because he no longer needed it. "......I should have…

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." "Why did you take so long." He strode over and wrapped his arms around Selvia's waist. Then before she could say anything, he buried himself in her embrace. Looking down at him nestled in her arms, his large frame incongruously bent down, Selvia let out a faint sigh. "Did something happen in the meantime?" "Yes." Though he nodded, he didn't let go of Selvia. As his hands pulled her closer more tightly, she opened her eyes drowsily. She had…

Leliana was anxious. What would happen if they discovered her thoughts? Then she would lose both the child and be driven out of here. She had nowhere else to go. Her father was dead. The fact that they recovered the child from the kingdom meant Beatus wasn't safe either. 'What do I care if that bastard is alive or dead.' Didn't he lie about wanting to live alone while knowing it was his child? When she was driven out, she made a vow. That she would somehow regain her power and destroy…

Amon immediately began sealing the child's power. "There won't be any side effects, right?" "We're not eliminating the power. Just sealing it temporarily, so don't worry." Selvia nodded. Amon placed his hand on the child's forehead and closed his eyes. Watching him seal the power, she suddenly had a question. "Perhaps Your Majesty cannot perform the sealing?" "If I do it, the power might become more unstable." "Because of the size of the power?" "Even Amon's power awakened to it, if…

Selvia arrived at the infirmary following an attendant. There were quite a few injured knights lying down, more than she had expected. She examined the knights as she went inside. 'Their condition is fine? As if someone had treated them......' Wondering about this, she went deeper inside and saw a familiar face. "We greet Your Majesty the Empress. When you're still unwell......" "I should be the one asking. When did you arrive? I thought I heard you hadn't arrived yet." "I hurried here…

Leliana seemed flustered for a moment. Then she shook her head and said, "......No. It's my child. So it's right to return it to its mother. That's all." Leliana hastily evaded the question. Seeing this, Selvia's suspicions grew stronger. It was clear she was hiding something. "You said it yourself. That you'd do anything if I found your child." "......Is there something you want from me who has nothing?" Leliana let out a hollow laugh. "You said you'd do anything if I found your…

Ratius brushed Selvia's hair behind her ear and lifted her by the waist. He sat her on his lap and lightly touched her lips with his hand. "We haven't even had time to properly reunite since meeting again. So I hope you'll forgive me if we're a bit late going to see that woman." His hand gently caressed up Selvia's leg. He tilted his head and approached. Their lips grew parched as the atmosphere between them grew languid. He blinked slowly, staring at her lips as if seeking…
