“Even if you boast about that fancy power, it’s already mine.”

Vicious malice and sticky obsession shouted exuberantly.

Carlos was very proud. Playing pranks and boasting about how much better he was, the remnants of the Beller dynasty’s pride, the bugs he had trampled on, were very satisfying to teach a lesson.

He might have been delusional, but Hayden did not take Loo from him. Could a bug dare to do that! He was just enchanted by the puppet woman he manipulated.

Carlos felt elated at this moment of teaching it cleverly.

If Loo could move even a little, she would have ordered to attack that bug. It wasn’t in a state to do that, but it was enough.

Ophelia felt nauseated and unbearable frustration with his distorted and abnormal way of thinking.

‘He will live like this forever.’

Against an opponent who kept losing, she put strength into her trembling legs and stood up.

“Your Majesty!”

Then she urged Hayden and rejoined his magic.

“What do you want to do with that half-baked body? Oh, not half, but one-third.”

The voice of Carlos coming from the mouth of the distorted woman, who couldn’t breathe and had twisted, was rougher than usual. Hayden didn’t respond to worthless words.

A person cannot always be happy. If another misfortune comes to Rustica Gennes, she had no choice but to choose a slightly less unhappy way.

“That, kuh, kruk, yes, uh…!”

Whatever Loo was trying to say, Hayden ruthlessly shoved his fingers into her mouth. He didn’t even blink when she, or rather Carlos, bit his hand.

It didn’t matter because he had shoved it in for biting instead of licking.

Green eyes and gray eyes met. Whether it was Loo or Carlos was suspicious, a little light entered the doubtful green eyes. Hayden spoke with a thoroughly suppressed voice.

“Don’t go too far.”

Did she understand? The green eyes closed. Loo collapsed into Hayden’s arms.

Ophelia looked sadly at the disappearing emerald light on her fingertips, which had been clenched in the air.

Loo wasn’t just taking it. She struggled and resisted with all her might, but her strength was lacking.

Silence returned to the Emperor’s bedroom.

“Your Majesty.”

Ophelia called the Emperor with a trembling voice. Hayden, who deliberately made Loo lose consciousness, had no expression.

Loo promised to not waste time again, to keep staying awake. Even so, in the end, he personally pushed Loo’s consciousness into that deep place.

No matter how much he thought about it, his precious fiancée and benefactor, who had claimed that it should be like this even for a short time, was undoubtedly Loo.

“Ophelia, you should stay by Loo’s side for a while.”
The word ‘당분간’ referred to half a day today. At least Loo will open her eyes before midnight. That’s what she will do.

“Yes, of course, Your Majesty.”

“Try not to leave her alone.”

Hayden, without any greeting, couldn’t take his eyes off his sleeping lover for a long time and said.

At the last moment, Carlos avoided his hand, and thanks to that, he avoided falling asleep like Loo. Hayden’s veins trembled as he held Loo, who was asleep just like Loo.

He just wanted Loo to be Loo. He wanted her to be Rustica Gennes, a knight and a Southern Sage who wanted to behead Carlos, not a tool used in war.

He wanted it that way. But in the end, he couldn’t do that.

“If you spent as much time inside that barrier as the history of this country, you should have prevented such things from happening.”

What he finally spat out was self-reproach. He should have been better. He should have been stronger. Only then could he save Loo, who had saved him from the slums.

“Why are you saying that, Your Majesty?”

Ophelia, who was born much later than her but endured the Emperor’s shoulders for a longer time, comforted him.

“Your Majesty is not alone. Your Highness didn’t leave you alone either. Didn’t you notice?”

Hayden finally turned to Ophelia. The Emperor, who had a brief conversation with the wisest philosopher, nodded and let go of Loo.

“Your Highness is the bravest philosopher.”

Ophelia said quietly.

“So, you sent her away.”

Listening so well to Loo’s words, Hayden, who even faithfully obeyed the signal she had briefly stopped, bowed his head.

He poured all his heart into kissing the brave knight who slept like dead. After that, he turned around and disappeared.

Alone, Ophelia looked worriedly at Loo and then suddenly looked down at herself. Some of the curses on her seemed to have crumbled.

The core of the Perseita Civil War was speed. Every war had to end quickly, but of course, that wasn’t what the Eastern nobles wanted. Attack quickly, join quickly.

While Negrete and Sveña briefly diverted the eyes of the Emperor, the Calletha Emperor joined.

Perseita’s Emperor found it difficult to deal only with the Calletha Emperor, so the rest had to be handled by Negrete and Sveña.

In fact, the two nobles hoped that the emperors would fight each other and that they would suffer severe damage.
