With that as the start, the black power around her shadow gradually grew in volume. Charlotte's body trembled from an unknown force. Selvia no longer needed to hide her power. Rather, showing it openly was the most efficient way of persuasion. Since Ratius had seen the prophecy and chosen her, now she needed to show that she was the chosen one herself. "N-not the power of light." "This looks like...... darkness as black as pitch." The frightened nobles stepped back hesitantly. At the…-

Time passed quickly and the day of the banquet arrived. Though she had been busy since morning, she didn't feel tired due to nervousness. Selvia finished her preparations and looked in the mirror. She wore a tiara decorated with rare jewels she had never worn before. Not only that, but she looked unprecedentedly elegant and radiant in a silver dress that contrasted with her black hair. Today was her first appearance before them as Selvia of the Karina Empire. Trying not to be nervous, Selvia…

After moving directly to the palace through the portal, Ratius sat Selvia on the bed. He examined her condition and then sat down heavily beside her. "I'm really fine." "That doesn't seem right when your condition suddenly looks much worse." "I'll recover quickly if I just rest a bit." It definitely seems like overprotection. Selvia stared at Ratius directly as she spoke. "Your Majesty, are you anxious about me? Or is it that you don't trust me?" "......How could that be. Why…

The next morning, Selvia quickly finished preparing to go to the temple. Because she informed Ratius in advance, she could use a portal that led directly to the temple. Upon arriving at the temple, Selvia tilted her head back again to look up at its magnificent appearance. "No matter how many times I come, I can't get used to this building." The holy power seemed even more intense than before. Selvia carefully steadied her breathing and cautiously entered. Just as she was wondering how to…

Selvia lay awake in bed, recalling last night. 'That was dangerous.' It was still vivid as if it happened today. She struggled to regain her composure. She requested breakfast in her room. "Something is definitely different." Selvia felt that the meals had changed somehow. While previously the meals focused on meat, recently she noticed more dishes incorporating meat, fish, and vegetables. But since she wasn't particularly picky about food, she ate well whatever was served. "Today's…

The extensive two-week etiquette lessons finally ended. Though intensive, there was nothing more to learn. The teachers who taught Selvia praised her without exception. "Your Majesty, what do you think? In my view, she seems ready." "We'll have to check." Belrocan and Ratius discussed while looking at the evaluation reports from Selvia's teachers. "Then how about having a formal dinner together after so long?" "That would be good." Belrocan immediately called a maid to deliver the…

Ratius approached Amon and took Selvia into his arms as if snatching her away. "Are you alright?" He took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and checked her body. "I'm fine. This is a natural rejection reaction." Selvia blinked with an unbothered expression. She hadn't expected him to observe at such timing. She immediately stepped in front of the High Priest after getting out of Ratius's arms. Ratius's blue eyes flashed as if he might kill the man before him at any moment. "If you…

Selvia's heart raced again. Her gaze couldn't leave his smile. Ratius extended his hand and asked her. "Now that training is over, would you like to have some tea with me?" "Should we? I have something to discuss too." Selvia took Ratius's hand. She also had things to ask. As her lessons were ending, they needed to start discussing her social debut. She felt warmth again in their joined hands. The two left the training ground and headed to the garden. Though she thought they would…

The next day, Ratius moved busily. He needed to find ways to build Selvia's resistance. He flipped through several books while pressing his throbbing head in his office. "There's definitely no information." Belrocan immediately responded to his muttered words. "Wouldn't the High Priest know?" Working at his desk a short distance away, Belrocan seemed to know what Ratius was looking at. "How do you know what you're talking about?" "The title is written on the cover. 'Side Effects of…

Upon returning to the palace, Ratius immediately went to find Selvia. First, he needed to check how much holy water she had left. His steps grew faster as he approached the room where Selvia was staying. Finally standing before Selvia's room, he faced the maid Elena. "I behold the Empire's Sun. Lady Selvia is inside. Shall I announce you?" "No, wait a moment." Ratius raised his hand and tidied his appearance. "How do I look to you? You may raise your head and look at me." At his…
