Selvia stood up and left the prophecy room. After carefully closing the door, she felt a presence as she turned around. "Did you find what you were looking for?" At the clear and pure voice echoing through the air, Selvia's head instinctively lifted. A man with brown hair and green eyes stared at her intently. The holy power rippling around his body spoke of who he was. "High Priest?" "It seems you know me." "I had a feeling it was you. Am I right?" "Yes, you are." "Somehow…-

"The Karina Empire is truly magnificent." It was immediately apparent that the temple wasn't built just for show. The building's exterior was designed in an enclosing form, as if it's trying to separate from the outside, presenting a noble appearance. The traces of deep contemplation about its utilization were clearly visible in the architecture. Rose-patterned windows formed the main axis, and Ionic columns supported the entablature. Moreover, it looked even more beautiful as it was supported…

"Your Highness the Queen! No, Lady Selvia!" Belrocan quickly came out to greet her. Selvia showed the documents in her hand and smiled brightly. "Sorry I'm later than expected. Please call me Selvia from now on, since I just got expelled from my family." Though he was internally surprised at the mention of expulsion, seeing Selvia's bright face, he nodded and said. "Not at all. You're not that late. More importantly, did everything get resolved well......" "Thanks to you, it's all resolved…

Selvia had the knights wait briefly. Before leaving completely, there was an issue she needed to resolve at the Flandre duchy. Once she went to another country, she would never return to the Kingdom of Delpheron. There was no reason to, nor was it necessary. Selvia stared at the divorce papers in her hand. "That was easier than expected." The divorce was quick. But before remarrying Ratius, she needed to be expelled from her family. Selvia blankly stared up at the mansion she hadn't seen…

She stared at Ratius intently as she spoke. "I was going to demand a divorce, but I might end up being deposed as queen." Ratius's eyes darkened at Selvia's dry, hoarse voice. "A letter came saying Leliana is unwell...... She was perfectly healthy, so you can guess what that means?" "Ah, so that's why you said you'd be summoned as a criminal." Selvia nodded. "Even so, I can't bear to see you hurt. I have no intention of simply letting you go." "You really are stubborn." "The same…

Selvia slumped down after returning to her room. Though Ratius tended to keep conversations light, he had clear boundaries. "Maybe I can live." Though she tried not to have expectations, she found herself harboring hope again without realizing it. She quietly watched the shadow rippling beneath her feet. She kept comparing the attitudes between the kingdom and this place. Selvia placed the communication orb she had been holding onto the table. Selvia tilted her head back to look at the…

"By the way, seeing it's already this dark...... the night will be even more pitch black." The sky and surroundings were increasingly hiding in darkness. 'Has the Karina Empire already fallen into darkness too?' Even though the prophecy hadn't been fully realized yet, countries other than the Kingdom of Delpheron were falling into darkness. The date prophesied in the oracle was clearly approaching. It was understandable why Harwin was somewhat rushing. He had properly interpreted the…

Soon, the empire's castle came into view. "Well then, it's time for them to wake up." Selvia loosened her grip on Harwin's hand. Come to think of it, there was no need to keep holding hands until here, but she wondered why they had continued to do so. Her face burned hot and her mouth felt parched. Whether he’s aware of Selvia's feelings or not, Harwin seemed to let go of her hand but lightly held just her fingertips while smiling. "How disappointing. If not for them, I would have kept…

"I wonder how long it will take to arrive." To get from the kingdom to the empire, one had to travel along mountain paths for at least fifteen days. Following the river would be more comfortable but would take longer and risk monster attacks. Selvia, who had been falling in and out of sleep in the carriage, suddenly noticed that the carriage had stopped. Wondering what was happening, she poked her head out to find a familiar person standing there. "I came to escort you, as the journey ahead…

"It would be nice if Beatus granted me a divorce, but that's unlikely. So I want the Karina Empire to step in." Selvia hesitated for a moment. "Actually, I'm not sure if the Emperor of Karina Empire would accept this." Duke Harwin gently stroked his chin and curled up his lips. <Just tell me what you need.> "You'll need to threaten the Kingdom of Delpheron. Since I hate war, demand me as a trophy." A moment of silence fell. Duke Harwin blinked with quite a surprised expression.…
