“Congratulations. It finally happened like this.”

Melphius, who claimed to have been dragged out of bed again, exaggeratedly congratulated Ru.

“Did you expect this?”

“Yes. If I couldn’t anticipate this, I should give up my position as a sage. It was too obvious.”

The knight who saved the boy, who was small, kind, and thirsty for affection, from certain death. So the boy who risked his life for the knight. The story was too predictable.

“Predictable?”

“Yes. Predictable. Since there was only Genesis for His Majesty. It was inevitable to fall for her easily and irresistibly.”

Ru thought that the same applied to her. The man who approached her like sunshine, the only affectionate and sweet person in her lonely life in the nameless territory, was simply too endearing.

It was impossible not to fall deeply into the affection poured generously onto a lonely person.

“That’s right.”

Ru smiled bitterly, lowered her head, and glanced at Hayden, who was chatting with the talkative finance minister again, before turning her attention to the slightly distant Melphius.

“I’d like to do more for Ophelia, but I’m not sure how she’s doing these days.”

The Emperor was probably busy, and there weren’t many people who could easily approach his precious fiancée. In the end, Melphius volunteered for the role with Ru. Hayden gradually moved away behind him.

“I admit that it was very little, but it was a significant shock to Ophelia. She needs to recover a bit and strengthen her physical strength for the next engagement.”

“Yes. I think I should do the same.”

Ru, after confirming once again the pitiful sight of the finance minister and the Emperor’s conversation, which was interrupted by the chief of staff, and also involving the internal minister, lowered her voice.

“There’s so much to do.”

With her hand, still slightly attached to Melphius and walking slightly closer, something indigo escaped and went into Melphius’s hand. What on earth is this? The Dragon Lord, who had lived for a very long time, looked at her with a slightly puzzled expression, then quietly clenched his fist to hide the light he received.

“It’s always a great help when Mr. Melphius helps. There are still many things I don’t know.”

Ru smiled bitterly. At that moment, Melphius had a premonition that there would be very serious contents in the light Ru handed over.

“I hope to meet Lady Ophelia together soon.”

After saying that, she turned around again and walked toward Hayden, completely turning her back on Melphius. He began to read the light handed over by Ru, responding to the chief of staff approaching him with a nod, all the while responding dryly to the finance minister who was coming to him again.

Melphius, sir. I request your help because you are the only one who can help me. A curse is affecting me. Especially my head.
“Hayden, I attacked His Majesty the Emperor. I didn’t intend to, but I tried to kill him. It happened twice, and fortunately, His Majesty was not injured. However, His Majesty is trying to handle everything alone.

I’m afraid I don’t know when or how I might attack His Majesty again. The most frightening thing is that I lost my memory after attacking His Majesty.

I was unconscious for over a day, and I have no memory of collapsing. I don’t know what will happen next. Please help me.

Though the contents conveyed were urgently condensed, the worries and concerns overflowing from within were exceptionally significant.

Melphius responded vaguely to the finance minister’s words and turned to the Emperor and Ru. During the moment when the foreign minister urgently approached the Emperor and whispered something, Ru glanced in this direction. In her jade-green eyes, there was a mixture of anxiety and determination.

‘I knew it would be like this.’

Rustica Genesis is a strong person who solidifies her will before fear. Melphius nodded his head slightly, so faintly that no one would notice.

The incident took unexpected turns. A few days ago, Duke Alanca died in an accident, and now, out of the blue, Countess Caletta, who was summoned by Emperor Caletta at the last reception, died after being driven away.

Eliza Barkova, after hastily sending an urgent scorpion to Caletta and roughly concluding the matter, welcomed the visitor who came.

“Ah, it’s really chaotic! It’s noisy everywhere these days. A lot of people are dying. Isn’t that right?”

With a fuss, taking off her hat and entering, Lady Godio, looked at Eliza with a slightly bewildered expression. Eliza quietly spoke.

“I didn’t expect you to come so quickly.”

“You have to handle everything properly on time.”

“I thought you’d call me suddenly, and I might not make it in time. Come in.”

Eliza opened the door. Following Lady Godio, the five Noir agents, with their faces covered up to the cabinet noir, entered the Caletta Count’s office.

“I don’t have time. Emperor Caletta will surely investigate this matter. He might even appear directly with magic.”

“That’s all taken care of. So, is everything packed?”
