"My goodness, what am I seeing right now?" Like skin being peeled off, Lady Otix's hair color changed. Then something that had been caked on her face started dripping down. Lady Lutenpri exclaimed in shock and quickly backed away. "What in the world is going on?!" Lady Lutenpri, startled, rubbed her eyes as she watched Lady Otix getting up. "Ba-Baroness Shuren?" As Lady Otix's face crumbled away, Baroness Shuren's face was revealed. Her brown hair had somehow changed to a dark red, and…-

People laughed happily. Their expressions were bright because they were feeling truly peaceful for the first time in a long while. "It's been a while since we've had such a comfortable banquet." "Did you think so too, my lady? I keep finding myself smiling as well." People chatted while casually drinking wine. A peace treaty—it was something they hadn't expected. "The overall atmosphere seems to have changed a lot since Her Majesty the Empress came to the Empire." Selvia continued…

"Your Majesty, this is enough already." "Since I received some hate recently." Selvia held Ratius's face and kissed him lightly. At the sweet kiss that broke off with a soft sound, he smiled with satisfaction. "Not enough." "Please control yourself." Selvia laughed and pushed him away. Otherwise, she would surely suffer all night. Seeing his eyes, she backed away. "It's already too late." His hand grabbed her arm. The distance between them closed again. "At times like this, Your…

He tightly held her hand as he closed the distance. Selvia looked up at Ratius. His blue eyes were rippling. "Haven't Your Majesty always left room for me?" "That's room in the heart." Ratius's eyebrows twitched. Selvia placed her hands on his chest and gently pushed him away. "This is the first time. That our opinions differ." He allowed the distance as Selvia pushed him away. Then he smiled softly and nodded. "That's right. Sometimes we need moments like this when we don't…

"What do you mean? That is your child." "Stop lying! You're trying to deceive me until the end, aren't you? How can this be my child when I can't feel anything?" Leliana's eyes became bloodshot. She was enraged as if she might lose her breath at any moment. "Leliana, that is your child. Because the only child being protected in the palace was yours." "This is my child?" Leliana's silver eyes turned to the child in her arms. She blinked with an unbelieving face. She fumbled over the…

The next day, the nobles entered the palace with somewhat dark expressions. "It's been a while since His Majesty called us to the palace." "That's why we're more worried." Count Savoy sighed. He only called high-ranking nobles including himself from the frontier. Though a council would have been sufficient, the Emperor didn't do that. This was essentially a warning. "It seems we've disturbed His Majesty's mood with recent events." "Even Sir Belrocan included a warning in his letter…

Selvia held her breath quietly in Ratius's embrace. 'The burden goes to the child?' It was unwanted. Selvia placed her hand on her stomach. Such a thing must not happen. She squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed her breath. "Selvia." Ratius took Selvia's hand. She turned her head at the warm touch. Even without adding any words, she seemed to know what he wanted to say. "I'm fine." "Selvia, when you're not fine, you can say you're not fine." "......I'm not fine." How much had…

Amon arrived at the palace late at night. Since he had sent an urgent letter, the butler was waiting for him. "Welcome, High Priest. His Majesty is waiting." "Sorry for the late hour." "Not at all. His Majesty said he would wait right after seeing your letter." Amon followed the servant to the audience chamber. "I come before Your Majesty." "To get straight to the point, we plan to move up our trip to Delpheron." "Ahem ahem." Belrocan cleared his throat. He probably wanted to say…

Selvia stared at the ring. No matter how she thought about it, there was no other answer except going to Delpheron. "What could they have been thinking?" There was no subject. Selvia thought of her mother who had left her last words. Did she know about the ring too? Maybe she didn't know. Her father had only used the whole family anyway. Since her mother had the ring, he probably controlled her at will too. He passed the ring to Beatus because he no longer needed it. "......I should have…

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." "Why did you take so long." He strode over and wrapped his arms around Selvia's waist. Then before she could say anything, he buried himself in her embrace. Looking down at him nestled in her arms, his large frame incongruously bent down, Selvia let out a faint sigh. "Did something happen in the meantime?" "Yes." Though he nodded, he didn't let go of Selvia. As his hands pulled her closer more tightly, she opened her eyes drowsily. She had…
