"......home." As far as he knew, the only place Ailexia called home was the secondary palace. That was clear. Once, when she tormented him with words about being abandoned in the kingdom, he had angrily retorted asking if she thought she was any different, that she would be driven out too. At that time, Ailexia had snapped at him. Her eyes, already steeped in madness, had flipped even more in that moment. Allen, who had only expected a retort that such a thing wouldn't happen, had been…-

"Is this the need you spoke of before?" "Hnng, haaah......" "Tell me. So I can decide whether to fulfill your need or not." Although it was a much milder action compared to what he had endured, Allen didn't particularly care about that point. Allen, who had always been the subordinate in his relationship with Ailexia, gradually began to savor the fullness that came from the first reversal of their relationship. By now, the guilt of touching a patient had faded. Now in his eyes, she was just…

When was it? Allen had once asked Ailexia. When would she need him? It was probably while he was being punished for not wearing the earring. If he dredged up the memory, the first thing that came to mind was the burning sensation where the hole had been pierced. The chilling smile she had worn after bringing her own earring and forcibly inserting it into the hole, just like before, was still vivid in his memory. So were the words she had uttered as she drew blood from him again when the slightly…

"Haah." Returning to her bedroom, Iella immediately collapsed onto the bed. She was completely drained and had no energy left. Vanessa, who followed her, asked if she was alright, but she didn't even have the strength to respond. "Why is the emperor acting like this......" Iella mumbled with her face buried in the blanket. As he had said, when she went downstairs, the reception room was bustling with people from the dressmaker's and the jeweler's, along with the items they had…

Iella was speechless and closed her mouth. She didn't know how to react or what to say in response to his suddenly reversed attitude, like flipping a palm. 'Is he mocking me?' But he didn't seem like someone who would play such pranks. Especially not with Ailexia. As Iella examined him with a scrutinizing gaze in her confusion, Helios suddenly burst into a small laugh. Incomprehensible mutterings flowed between. "Why didn't I realize it? Even when it was right in front of…

'Again?!' "Ah." She was so startled that she almost let out a scream-like exclamation but ended up biting her tongue. Iella glared at the door with a pained expression as a tangy taste spread in her mouth. There was one more person who had begun to change differently than expected. That was the emperor, Helios. He was the opposite of the others whose contact or meeting frequency had decreased. From the day after her outing with Chase until now, he had been sending the chief chamberlain to the…

It was a few days after Iella's coming-of-age celebration. Worried about her when she didn't show up at their meeting place the day after her birthday, he had sent a letter but received no reply. He eventually couldn't wait any longer and visited the mansion directly. The one who greeted him then was Viscount Shua. The viscount recited quietly with his usual expression and tone. Those words couldn't have sounded more chilling. Even though it was within the range of expectations since he had…

Meanwhile, right after Iella left the imperial family's viewing area. Helios held a crystal glass in his hand, listening as her footsteps, which had gradually quickened after she lifted the curtain and left, soon turned into a run. The faint trace of her presence quickly faded and became inaudible. Only then did his attention turn to the person who remained. "Could it be that you're worried about Duke Calver?" "......" "It's all visible in your face, Uncle." Helios, who had slowly closed…

The place Iella headed straight to was the tent where the knights who had participated in today's preliminaries would be gathered. Normally, she should have been stopped before even approaching since she wasn't related to the event, but perhaps due to Ailexia's reputation, no one stopped her. They just whispered among themselves. 'Has he already left?' Iella ignored it all. In fact, she had no time to care. As if she had forgotten that originally, she had no intention of coming to the arena,…

"......!" Iella took a short breath. Despite the distance, and the fact that he wouldn't know she was here, somehow it felt like their eyes had met. 'It must be..., my imagination.' Even so, she looked at him again. But he had already lowered his head. Iella watched Aster facing his opponent and clasped her hands together. From the moment she thought their eyes had met, her suspicion was turning into certainty. 'It really is because of me.' To take her away. Aster had entered the…
