"Grand Duke Joseph's sister...... Did the Frentz family have a daughter?" "How could there be a daughter we didn't know about when we've served the Frentz family all our lives?" "Then who is that woman?" For some reason, "Mia Moore" had appeared as "Mia Frentz." The few nobles who had maintained their titles, naturally unaware of the circumstances like Eva and Divlik, were all puzzled by Mia's existence. Some suggested she might be the late emperor's illegitimate child just discovered, but the…-

"That's why I told you to kill the former empress before the coronation ceremony!" In the end, not a single arrow was fired from the bow that Divlik and Eva had been holding together. The situation had been resolved before Finn arrived, having heard that His Majesty was having a dispute with a bow. —I was told it was an emergency, but did you call me just to rub salt in the wound? What Finn saw was Eva cleaning up the fluid Divlik had released into her mouth and Divlik straightening his…

"Or...... you could use the excuse that your eyes can't see to kill me and gain the freedom you've wanted." "I don't want that kind of freedom!" Eva shouted until her throat felt like it would tear. It's absurd, freedom gained by killing someone. Divlik let out a scornful laugh at Eva's desperate cry. "Why not? Wouldn't it be better for you if I were gone? If I disappeared, you'd automatically be spared from serving me in bed from now on." The more Divlik's voice revealed a bottomless…

Thirty minutes earlier, as Divlik entered the east annex, he ran directly into the doctor who had just finished meeting with Eva. He casually asked how Eva's eyes were doing, but the doctor, seemingly frightened by Divlik's hardened expression, trembled before him and rambled excuses. "I've done my best, Your Majesty. Even considering poisonous herbs that aren't fatal but only affect the eyes, there are barely five such plants. No matter how much she consumed, by now the toxins should have left her…

Kern, the capital of the Veilen Empire. In a meeting room deep within Bekan Castle sat all the notable nobles of the Veilen Empire. Despite the apparent importance of this gathering, the emperor of Veilen was nowhere to be seen. The aging emperor here had become little more than a figurehead after losing Hael and Elan in a war long ago. The nobles were so divided, each insisting on their own opinions, that it took a week just to decide whether to send a delegation to congratulate the Yarden Empire on…

People always applied impossibly perfect standards when judging others' affairs. That's why Eva had determined that staying by Divlik's side would not benefit him. She believed she should be driven away or die so that Divlik wouldn't have to hear such things. "Everywhere we go, there are so many people it gives me a headache, Finn." "I'll prepare to leave immediately. In the meantime, please return to the inn and rest, Your Majesty." For some reason, Divlik didn't seem entirely pleased by Eva's…

The next morning. Eva, who left the inn following Divlik, began climbing the steep stairs leading to the temple without any delay. Centrun was a village built in a radial pattern centered around a temple constructed on a high hill, requiring visitors to climb the hill to reach the temple regardless of which direction they approached from. "I hope you're not thinking of running away from here." "How could I? I still have unfinished homework." Divlik, following behind, spoke provocatively as usual…

Eva remained silent, though staying by Divlik's side for life would benefit neither her nor Divlik. Instead, she straightened her posture and sat with her back erect. The high priest looked at Eva again with the same gaze as before, but Eva didn't waver. Thinking that God had turned away from her because of one person's gaze was probably due to her habit of making assumptions, as Divlik had said. "I'll try." And...... even if this feeling that she would never be forgiven by God was true, Eva was…

Eva walked a few steps without protest and stood before Divlik. He raised one hand to her cheek and used his thumb to pull up one corner of her lip into a slight pout. "I'd prefer if you smiled like this when appearing before people. I'm tired of seeing you with that pitiful face, as if you're a victim who has given up everything." "If that's what you want, I'll do so." "'If that's what you want'...... You always say the right things. Ah, yes. You said you would even love me if I wanted it, didn't…

Eva laughed for a long time in his embrace, loving Leon too much to squeeze her with all his might for fear she might suffocate. Soon, Leon's strong arms that had been holding Eva lifted her body into the air and seated her on the horse. "The mountain path is rough, so you need to hold on tight." "I'm not worried because you'll hold me so I don't fall." Leon handed her the reins with a warning, but Eva just smiled brightly. Leon's eyes shook with heat as if he couldn't stand it. His transparent…
