When Divlik had asked Eva if she served God, he asked as if it were an impossible thing, which had given her that impression, but he had never actually said such a thing. Though it shouldn't have been a major mistake, Divlik's voice was particularly curt, causing Eva to close her mouth. She thought he didn't want to talk with her. "I did serve, once. More desperately than anyone." But this thought too seemed to be wrong, as Divlik turned his body fully to face Eva, who sat diagonally across from him.…-

"This necklace would match this dress!" From Eva's perspective as a former empress, surviving only to become a concubine...... With such a shameful title, was there anything to thank God for during Thanksgiving? Sophie seemed strangely excited, unaware of this. She appeared somewhat cheerful for the first time in a while, perhaps due to the rare outing, after Hannah, who had been like a sister to her, was expelled and Eileen, who had been like a mother, passed away. "Lady Eva. We should also pack…

Though Eva couldn't clearly see what expression Divlik wore at the end of her faint gaze, his deeply sunken voice was unmistakably wet as if he had swallowed tears. Because he missed his homeland as much as Eva did. "The day when revenge ends will never come. I can't believe that Florin, where one could casually encounter such flowers without having to search for them so diligently, no longer exists...... This feeling isn't yours alone." Eva wanted to ask: Isn't it more painful to look at me, the one…

Faced with a question that could make the atmosphere heavy if answered, Finn looked at Divlik instead of responding. Eva also turned her gaze toward Divlik, anxious about what he might say. "I received news that someone who still mistakes my seat for his own is alive and plotting. That's why." Divlik honestly answered while tilting his wine glass with a face that suggested there was nothing problematic about it. He meant there was nothing to be concerned about. When Fabian was mentioned from Divlik's…

"I see. With such a beautiful woman, no man would easily let go of a beauty standing before him." The Hessen royal couple tried to smile as if nothing was unusual, changing the awkward atmosphere. It was a common occurrence. Conquerors often took women from conquered lands as concubines if they found them attractive. "Eva. The Hessen royal couple have brought a precious gift. Mangoes—you must have tasted them at least once?" Perhaps thanks to the royal couple's reaction, Divlik's voice was…

"Didn't you say you saw clearly? Why didn't you report Fabian's appearance then?" "That's...... that's because Emperor Fabian covered my mouth so I couldn't scream!" "Your mouth couldn't have remained covered until you were dragged out here...... And for some reason, you keep calling Fabian 'emperor.'" Mia tried to explain that she had misspoken because the situation was too urgent, but Divlik wouldn't buy it. Divlik took a knight's sword from the castle gate guard and pointed it at Mia. "If…

That man was alive? How? How did his brother know this, and why did he do such a thing? "So what?" Fabian was so dumbfounded that he didn't know what to ask, his mouth opening and closing uselessly, when Joseph asked as if it were nothing. "What do you mean 'so what'?" Sometimes when they made eye contact at this close distance, Joseph looked so identical to him it felt eerie, like looking in a mirror, but Fabian could never understand Joseph's thoughts. "So what," indeed—knowing that man…

—It's good to see you, Lord Fabian, but you must leave now. If you step away from here, I'll pretend I didn't see you. Surprisingly, it was Mia, who had initially welcomed Fabian, who blocked him when he tried to take Eva away. "That must have been what happened. I would have liked to let her go, but I had to show the new emperor that Lady Eva was alive and well. Otherwise, he said he would kill me." Eva wondered what was going on, but apparently such words had been exchanged while she was…

"Why did you give something suspicious to Eva?" The question was why, if she found it suspicious, she didn't speak up and stop the cake right there—why did she give it to Eva knowing it might be dangerous? "I wasn't...... certain. I thought the strawberry might have gone bad, and just......" It doesn't matter, even if there was poison there and Eva died. That seemed to be Mia's thinking behind her actions, but apparently not Divlik's. As Mia rambled excuses, Divlik approached her in just a few…

"Empress......! Is Lady Eva alright? Is she alive?" In the late night when everyone was deep asleep, Divlik visited the underground prison alone. Eileen, who had been dozing off while leaning against the wall, drowsily opened her eyes, then spotted Divlik and rushed to the bars, shouting. "Please tell me she's alright! Please...... Please......" Does she not realize that while Eva might survive, she herself is certain to die? Eileen's eyes reddened with worry about Eva's condition. It seemed her…
