After sending Leon to Hael with his promise to become a knight, Eva calculated the days until Leon's return every morning when she opened her eyes. "Charlotte, how many days are left until Leon returns?" "2 years and 257 days, Miss." "Still that long?" Eva was nearly neurotic from being unable to touch Leon's hair, which should have been within reach. "Miss Eva. I told you this yesterday. When greeting someone, place your left hand over your chest with your right hand on top. Switching hands…-

"Lord Divlik!" Just from the sound, it was clear that anyone hit by that horse would have been killed instantly. Mia, standing in the square, turned her head wondering who was riding so urgently. Upon spotting Divlik with Finn and several soldiers, she called out his name loudly, but Divlik passed by Mia without stopping. He couldn't have missed seeing me...... Mia bit her lip tightly as she stared in the direction where the horse had disappeared. Divlik certainly seemed difficult to approach.…

On the last day of the promised period, when the late afternoon came and the sun began to set, Eva called the maids who had been by her side since she entered the castle into her bedroom. Though she had reduced her sleep to embroider, she still lacked about a day's time to complete the work, but she judged she couldn't use that as an excuse to delay any longer. "Eva......" When Eva silently distributed handfuls of jewels from several jewelry boxes, Eileen couldn't hold back her tears as she received…

Divlik couldn't understand how Joseph knew that he was struggling, unable to take Eva to bed. Where had the information leaked? Thinking about it, there seemed to be no source for the leak. Rumors that Eva had become Divlik's woman would have already spread far and wide, and the soldiers firmly believed it. At most, those who knew the exact circumstances were, besides Finn, the servants attending Eva, but they had no opportunity to go outside and meet outsiders. "I understand completely." While…

Eva remained standing in place for a long time, even after the castle gate closed, until the sound of hoofbeats faded and could no longer be heard. Just as in Divlik's joke, as if the one she had seen off were her own lord, a distant, melancholic air could be read beyond Eva's covered eyes. "Eva, please come inside now. The dawn breeze is cold." The reason Eva stood there for so long despite Hannah's urging was because she was reminded of Leon leaving in the morning dew just like this. * *…

"Farewell...... where is he going?" "What does it matter to you where he's going...... Ahem, he's going to Elan. We're still preparing the horses for the journey, so that should give you enough time to change clothes. Should I wake a maid?" "No. Since you said I don't need to dress up, I'll prepare myself and come down soon." "Do as you wish. Well then." After Finn left the room, Eva checked the dress she had already selected to wear today, and with no intention of dressing differently, she sat…

Crash. The next afternoon. Through the crack of the tightly closed emperor's office door, the sound of a glass bottle shattering loudly leaked out. "Eek!" Along with Hannah's short scream. The source of the sound must have been there, as an unidentifiable small glass bottle lay shattered into pieces in front of Eva's feet. Divlik, with eyes that could not bear his anger, asked Eva, who was covering her eyes. "Why? You hate seeing someone die but you also hate giving yourself to me, so are…

"Mock you?" While blonde hair might not be rare, purple eyes were not easily found on this continent. Joseph had undoubtedly deliberately found and sent such a woman. It was to devalue Eva, whom Divlik kept by his side. To suggest that what Divlik had in his hands wasn't that special. "Finn." "Yes, Lord Divlik." "Prepare to depart in advance. I need to meet Grand Duke Joseph." "You're going to meet him in person?" "Since he sent a gift, I should properly return the favor." Judging by…

"Hannah......" As soon as Hannah left the office with Eva, she burst into tears over the humiliation Eva had suffered. "The rumors that the Blue Wolf army especially torments women were all true!" She didn't seem to realize that if those rumors were true, Eva wouldn't have been able to endure until now, nor would Hannah herself be safe. Eva didn't bother to correct Hannah's misunderstanding. She didn't want to give her, who was already terrified that she might die, another fear. "I'll prepare…

Eva entered the emperor's office with her bare feet still wet with soapy water, not having properly put on her shoes. Hannah, who held Eva's hand covering her eyes and carried Eva's shoes in her other hand, followed behind. "You've arrived, former empress." "I heard you were looking for me." "While exploring the castle basement, I found something that surprised me more than the undocumented gold or jewels." "The prison...... you mean?" Even though Divlik didn't specify, Eva immediately…
