'It's dark.' She couldn't see or hear anything. There was no sensation at her fingertips either. It felt like she had become a speck of dust floating in the air, simply moving with the flow. 'I hate the darkness.' Her mind couldn't form deep thoughts, as if she had returned to a primordial state. She felt exactly like a small child. Iella was engulfed in fear. 'I'm scared.' It felt like she would be swallowed by the darkness. She was terrified of that. Every day since that day...... 'That…-

"It seems you truly have no more interest in him." Helios, interpreting Iella's silence differently, picked up his teacup again. Iella watched him savor his tea with elegant movements, making no sound, then bluntly retorted. "Whatever the case, it doesn't concern Your Majesty in anyway, does it?" His downcast gaze returned to her. He stared intently as if telling her to continue. "You completed the deal with the island as a condition, so even if I no longer seek him out, nothing…

Guided by the head servant, the tea party venue was a greenhouse located in a corner of the main palace. Iella's eyes had already widened at the sight of the enormous greenhouse before entering, and once inside, she had to bite her lip tightly to stop her mouth from falling open. The interior maintained a pleasant temperature despite the sunlight pouring through the transparent glass, making it seem like paradise. 'Is it because it's the imperial palace? There's not a single place that isn't…

"Lady Ailexia, the chief chamberlain from the main palace has come to deliver His Majesty's message." At the maid's words that landed like a hammer blow, Iella and Vanessa looked at each other simultaneously. 'What should we do?', 'I don't know either.' A conversation tinged with confusion passed between their exchanged glances. Then Vanessa turned her head first, intending to ask Nix if he knew anything about this. "Damn it." But the place she looked at was empty. The snack plate was also…

After what happened with Chase, Iella never once left her bedroom. Every time she went outside, she inevitably faced unwanted confrontations, so she endured the stuffiness. Fortunately, Chase hadn't summoned her during this time. "Would you like me to bring you something to drink?" "I'm fine." Iella, who had been staring blankly out the window, answered with a small smile at Vanessa's voice beside her. That night, Vanessa, who had returned late to the secondary palace, had gasped in shock after…

Chase easily understood the implication of those words. It meant he should make an effort. To make Ailexia follow him out on her own feet. "She won't leave on her own because of her agreement with the late imperial consort." "Ah, that's right. If she had made that agreement with you instead, Uncle, everyone would have been more comfortable, wouldn't they?" "......" "Well, what that woman wanted was her daughter's safety, so there wasn't much choice." Chase's hand gripping the teacup…

"......Phew." After trying again and again, a single tear streamed down her cheek. Hearing her sob, he stiffened abruptly. His red eyes trembled slightly, clearly affected. Iella, who had been worried that she might be encouraging him, keenly observed his reaction and pushed her emotions further. But no more tears came. As if that single tear was the limit for someone who wasn't an actress. Iella touched her forehead while looking at her eyes that were only moist and glistening. 'I've…

It was useless for Iella to try to resist by keeping her lips tightly closed. He forcibly parted her lips by inserting his thumb like before. He pushed into her helplessly opened mouth. As if his only purpose was to invade and leave his mark, he pushed roughly. He persistently chased her retreating tongue, entwining it like a snake, sucking deeply, and swallowing as if to take away all her breath. 'Can't breathe.' Iella felt like her breathing was being blocked for the first time. Like a body that…

"To recover your memory, it's important to visit that place frequently first. Until now, you haven't even passed by it." Iella, who had been subtly pulling her body back due to the close distance, stopped and blinked. 'Is that all?' She had expected him to demand more, but surprisingly, it was nothing special. However, she soon cast a suspicious glance. Although 5 million gold might be pocket change to him, it was a very large sum by normal standards. It seemed like a waste to stake such a valuable…

It had been a constant question even while going to the auction house. Where did Ailexia get so much money? Not knowing that she had already heard the answer before questioning. 'The Grand Duke has been acting as Ailexia's financier, no. Her sponsor.' Thinking about it, there were many parts that proved this fact everywhere. Especially the secondary palace. Since the imperial palace's owner was the Emperor, it was natural that the secondary palace also belonged to the Emperor. That meant the owner…
