"......" That enchantment completely captivated Count Glastia's soul. He stared stupidly at the woman. That familiar figure, appearing like a vision in the dark, narrow carriage. Perhaps sensing his gaze, the woman gently narrowed her eyes. Then, her small hand moved. Could even a gesture be so captivating? The hand that left an elegant afterimage in the air brushed back her hair near her ear. As the beautifully disheveled golden hair was tucked behind her ear, her delicate jawline and round…-

Sehera's Lumière had returned home. Sehera's Lumière, Lumière de la Fleur, was the daughter of Emperor Patrick VI and Cassian I's elder sister. Lumière, who had early on married Edward XI, king of the neighboring country Tristan, had never experienced Astaire III's tyranny. Thus, the Sehera embedded in Lumière's heart was an unreturnable beautiful paradise. Lumière always dreamed of her homeland. Without thinking of any ugliness, only the beauty of her childhood lived and breathed in her…

The notorious tyrant Astaire truly loved Valentine, his royal concubine. Day and night, he held her and whispered words of love. "My beloved Tina. I can't believe how radiant you are right now." Whenever Valentine heard these affectionate words, she would respond with her most beautiful smile. Her smiles made Astaire hold her even more preciously. "The moments when I can proudly call you mine are my happiest." At his possessive whispers, Valentine would habitually embrace Astaire. Though…

The Emperor, Astaire III, was assassinated. "Farewell, Astaire." As Valentine's whisper faded, Astaire's trembling hand brushed against the glass. The powerless glass flew through the air. Crash! The sound of glass fragments shattering and scattering was sharp. "Val… entine......" Astaire muttered, squeezing out his last strength. His desperately outstretched hand rummaged through the glass shards. His bloodied fingertips, scratched by glass pieces, became entangled in the hem of…

"Welcome, deposed empress. I was about to visit your bedroom, but you've come here instead." Divlik opened the door immediately to greet Eva, as if his mind had never been in turmoil. Eva entered the bedroom with her eyes covered, wearing a thin nightgown. "I'm pleased to see your determination, deposed empress. I was worried you might come all wrapped up again this time." Whatever her resolve had been, Eva's body silhouette was clearly visible through the nightgown that became transparent in the…-

After sending Leon to Hael with his promise to become a knight, Eva calculated the days until Leon's return every morning when she opened her eyes. "Charlotte, how many days are left until Leon returns?" "2 years and 257 days, Miss." "Still that long?" Eva was nearly neurotic from being unable to touch Leon's hair, which should have been within reach. "Miss Eva. I told you this yesterday. When greeting someone, place your left hand over your chest with your right hand on top. Switching hands…

"Lord Divlik!" Just from the sound, it was clear that anyone hit by that horse would have been killed instantly. Mia, standing in the square, turned her head wondering who was riding so urgently. Upon spotting Divlik with Finn and several soldiers, she called out his name loudly, but Divlik passed by Mia without stopping. He couldn't have missed seeing me...... Mia bit her lip tightly as she stared in the direction where the horse had disappeared. Divlik certainly seemed difficult to approach.…

On the last day of the promised period, when the late afternoon came and the sun began to set, Eva called the maids who had been by her side since she entered the castle into her bedroom. Though she had reduced her sleep to embroider, she still lacked about a day's time to complete the work, but she judged she couldn't use that as an excuse to delay any longer. "Eva......" When Eva silently distributed handfuls of jewels from several jewelry boxes, Eileen couldn't hold back her tears as she received…

Divlik couldn't understand how Joseph knew that he was struggling, unable to take Eva to bed. Where had the information leaked? Thinking about it, there seemed to be no source for the leak. Rumors that Eva had become Divlik's woman would have already spread far and wide, and the soldiers firmly believed it. At most, those who knew the exact circumstances were, besides Finn, the servants attending Eva, but they had no opportunity to go outside and meet outsiders. "I understand completely." While…

Eva remained standing in place for a long time, even after the castle gate closed, until the sound of hoofbeats faded and could no longer be heard. Just as in Divlik's joke, as if the one she had seen off were her own lord, a distant, melancholic air could be read beyond Eva's covered eyes. "Eva, please come inside now. The dawn breeze is cold." The reason Eva stood there for so long despite Hannah's urging was because she was reminded of Leon leaving in the morning dew just like this. * *…
