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…-

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…

"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…

"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:…

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…

As soon as Divlik finished speaking, Eva asked, "Why did you do it?" "Do what?" "Didn't you say it was your hometown? Why did you reduce it to ruins? I heard after the war ended that you showed mercy to nobles who governed their people well, and that you passed through without touching a blade of grass if the people there said they would follow you." "That's right." "Then why did you do it? Those who ruled Florin must have been good people. None of the people living there would have refused…

Bubble, bubble, hearing the sound of boiling water and smelling the familiar scent of herbs she had encountered before, Eva slowly opened her eyes. It was late afternoon, with the sun casting long shadows as it descended. "Miss Eva, are you feeling better?" Tap, tap, tap, Mia, who had been grinding herbs in a small bowl at the bedroom table, noticed that Eva had regained consciousness and rose to approach her. "How are you feeling, Miss Eva? You've been unconscious for an entire day. Please wait a…

In spring, the path leading into Florin was lined with peach trees laden with pink fruits hanging in clusters. While walking along the path, gazing at the not-yet-ripened fruits, Leon would invariably appear and wrap his arms around Eva's waist. —Leon. After sharing their bodies for the first time, the couple continued to embrace each other away from people's eyes: in summer among the flowers that bloomed densely on the hills, in autumn on the scattered fallen leaves, and in winter under bare…

They say when people face something utterly absurd, they laugh. "Ha, haha......" As Acelia laughed hollowly while staring into space, her maids approached with concern. "Your Highness, are you alright?" "Is something wrong?" "This is ridiculous!" Acelia jumped up and began pacing rapidly around the room. "This makes no sense. I must have seen something wrong. How stressed have I been lately? Seeing hallucinations. ......Hallucinations? Right? It must be a hallucination. Heh, hehehe. It…-

The princess was clearly being backed into a corner. Yet instead, she used the crisis as a stepping stone to leap even higher. Diego recalled the satisfied expression on the emperor's face when the princess brought back the favorable negotiation terms for the Empire. His teeth ground together. "......The princess is hiding something." "Pardon?" Though his subordinate questioned him, Diego sank into thought with a hardened expression. 'Did she join hands with Princess Lenoa?…
