Eva remained silent, though staying by Divlik's side for life would benefit neither her nor Divlik. Instead, she straightened her posture and sat with her back erect. The high priest looked at Eva again with the same gaze as before, but Eva didn't waver. Thinking that God had turned away from her because of one person's gaze was probably due to her habit of making assumptions, as Divlik had said. "I'll try." And...... even if this feeling that she would never be forgiven by God was true, Eva was…-

Eva walked a few steps without protest and stood before Divlik. He raised one hand to her cheek and used his thumb to pull up one corner of her lip into a slight pout. "I'd prefer if you smiled like this when appearing before people. I'm tired of seeing you with that pitiful face, as if you're a victim who has given up everything." "If that's what you want, I'll do so." "'If that's what you want'...... You always say the right things. Ah, yes. You said you would even love me if I wanted it, didn't…

Eva laughed for a long time in his embrace, loving Leon too much to squeeze her with all his might for fear she might suffocate. Soon, Leon's strong arms that had been holding Eva lifted her body into the air and seated her on the horse. "The mountain path is rough, so you need to hold on tight." "I'm not worried because you'll hold me so I don't fall." Leon handed her the reins with a warning, but Eva just smiled brightly. Leon's eyes shook with heat as if he couldn't stand it. His transparent…

When Divlik had asked Eva if she served God, he asked as if it were an impossible thing, which had given her that impression, but he had never actually said such a thing. Though it shouldn't have been a major mistake, Divlik's voice was particularly curt, causing Eva to close her mouth. She thought he didn't want to talk with her. "I did serve, once. More desperately than anyone." But this thought too seemed to be wrong, as Divlik turned his body fully to face Eva, who sat diagonally across from him.…

"This necklace would match this dress!" From Eva's perspective as a former empress, surviving only to become a concubine...... With such a shameful title, was there anything to thank God for during Thanksgiving? Sophie seemed strangely excited, unaware of this. She appeared somewhat cheerful for the first time in a while, perhaps due to the rare outing, after Hannah, who had been like a sister to her, was expelled and Eileen, who had been like a mother, passed away. "Lady Eva. We should also pack…

Though Eva couldn't clearly see what expression Divlik wore at the end of her faint gaze, his deeply sunken voice was unmistakably wet as if he had swallowed tears. Because he missed his homeland as much as Eva did. "The day when revenge ends will never come. I can't believe that Florin, where one could casually encounter such flowers without having to search for them so diligently, no longer exists...... This feeling isn't yours alone." Eva wanted to ask: Isn't it more painful to look at me, the one…

Faced with a question that could make the atmosphere heavy if answered, Finn looked at Divlik instead of responding. Eva also turned her gaze toward Divlik, anxious about what he might say. "I received news that someone who still mistakes my seat for his own is alive and plotting. That's why." Divlik honestly answered while tilting his wine glass with a face that suggested there was nothing problematic about it. He meant there was nothing to be concerned about. When Fabian was mentioned from Divlik's…

"I see. With such a beautiful woman, no man would easily let go of a beauty standing before him." The Hessen royal couple tried to smile as if nothing was unusual, changing the awkward atmosphere. It was a common occurrence. Conquerors often took women from conquered lands as concubines if they found them attractive. "Eva. The Hessen royal couple have brought a precious gift. Mangoes—you must have tasted them at least once?" Perhaps thanks to the royal couple's reaction, Divlik's voice was…

"Didn't you say you saw clearly? Why didn't you report Fabian's appearance then?" "That's...... that's because Emperor Fabian covered my mouth so I couldn't scream!" "Your mouth couldn't have remained covered until you were dragged out here...... And for some reason, you keep calling Fabian 'emperor.'" Mia tried to explain that she had misspoken because the situation was too urgent, but Divlik wouldn't buy it. Divlik took a knight's sword from the castle gate guard and pointed it at Mia. "If…

That man was alive? How? How did his brother know this, and why did he do such a thing? "So what?" Fabian was so dumbfounded that he didn't know what to ask, his mouth opening and closing uselessly, when Joseph asked as if it were nothing. "What do you mean 'so what'?" Sometimes when they made eye contact at this close distance, Joseph looked so identical to him it felt eerie, like looking in a mirror, but Fabian could never understand Joseph's thoughts. "So what," indeed—knowing that man…
