      70 Cover
      by ianthe "Remember the faces of everyone standing here, Charlotte." Before she could turn around to see who it was, Fabian's voice reached Charlotte's ears first. Charlotte trembled with fear at just hearing that voice, feeling as if she might die, and Fabian continued with a voice full of burning anger. "When I sit on the emperor's throne again, I'll hang the heads of every single one of these people on the castle walls without exception." "What? You'll sit on the emperor's throne again?" Having fled…

      by ianthe The first time Fabian returned to Elan empty-handed after going to fetch Eva, he unleashed his fury on Joseph. —The rebel leader visited Eva's bedroom in the middle of the night! You were wrong! Eva wasn't avoiding him as Joseph had claimed. The thought that Eva might have been in Divlik's arms all this time made his blood boil. If he had brought a sword, he would have gone back in and cut Divlik's throat while he was distracted embracing Eva. —Leave the sword behind. —Why? —My…

      by ianthe "Your Majesty...... How are you here......" After hiding in a secluded shop alley, Fabian removed his hood once he confirmed no one was around. As always, his transparent, sparkling emerald green eyes met Charlotte's black ones. "Charlotte. Why are you here? What about Eva? Is Eva somewhere out here?" Charlotte had always guarded Eva like a shadow. Fabian asked with the energy of someone ready to run to Eva immediately if she were nearby, but Charlotte shook her head firmly. "No. I'm alone. How…

      by ianthe —Save me, please! —Lord Kate! Divlik hadn't witnessed the deaths of Marquis and Marchioness Cloud or others. He had been buried first. But there was one death Divlik had watched with his eyes open before being buried. —Please spare his life. This child has done no wrong. How could you try to kill a child who is a loyal knight of the Yarden Empire? It was the death of Kate, the butler who had been his adoptive father. —Step aside. It's an order from the future empress to eliminate any…

      by ianthe —Marquis Evan van Cloud. —Marquis Evan van Cloud? —That will be your new name in a week. That name would have been Divlik's new name if he had married Eva without any problems. "That's right. My name before marriage was Eva van Cloud." To give the name that should have been his to an unknown conqueror. "I apologize. Please forget it. I said something ridiculous." "Whose...... name is it? You answer as if you had it prepared." If he felt pleased in a situation where he should…

      by ianthe Liking while hating. Eva had clearly been thinking of Fabian and referring to Mia standing before her, but Mia brought up Divlik. Suggesting that Divlik was treating Eva the same way now. "The new emperor?" "Isn't that what the new emperor is doing? Seeming to hate you yet worrying about you. Not granting your requests yet desiring you. Didn't I tell you before? I've never heard of a conqueror treating a woman from conquered lands this way." As Mia laid out her thoughts, her eyes began to twist in…

      by ianthe After pushing aside the hem of Eva's dress and pressing his lower body tightly against hers, Divlik noticed Eva's still clouded eyes in the mirror on the wall and stepped back. "First, do something about your eyes. In the current situation, your eyes are what I dislike the most." He meant he couldn't embrace Eva because he doesn’t like her eyes. "I don't know if my eyes will heal or how long it will take." "That doesn't mean I have to listen to your request while enduring something I find…

      by ianthe "Help me! Bandits!" At Charlotte's scream, the man quickly assessed the situation and, with a fierce expression that didn't match his handsome face, stopped his horse. "Bandits? How dare there be thieves in Lord Divlik's empire. Arrest them all!" "Yes, Sir Finn!" At the command of the man called Finn, the soldiers following him dismounted and instantly captured the bandits who had been threatening Charlotte and the farmer. "Are you alright?" "Yes, Sir Knight." Looking at Finn as he…

      by ianthe "Lies." Divlik slowly raised his hand toward Eva's face but clenched his fist in midair without touching her. He returned to himself the very words he had spoken to Eva so many times. Lies. The claim that he had become curious was a lie. —But why didn't you kill her immediately when you saw her? Because it wasn't that kind of anger...... it wasn't the kind of hatred that could be satisfied by simply killing her. The reason Divlik hadn't killed Eva immediately upon seeing her was this:…

      by ianthe Mia smiled sweetly before answering. "The bleeding stopped immediately. Fortunately, while looking for herbs to help Miss Eva's eyes, I had prepared other herbs that might be needed in this castle, so I was able to use them right away." "Well done." Divlik visibly relaxed. Seeing her opportunity, Mia placed a small medicine bottle she had been holding in both hands on the office desk. "Though you didn't ask for it, I prepared this medicine that might help your throat. It won't completely heal…
