Hayden offered a strong coffee. Unconsciously eating, she felt like she knew why he kept feeding her.

The hearty sandwich and strong coffee filled her stomach, and as it filled, her mind cleared and she became sober, and after sobering up, anger began to flare.

Lucius began to eat her food more combatively as she stared at the distant horizon.

She could see it! It was not just mimicking drawing a magic circle; she could see the mana squirming with her eyes!

That she couldn’t see it for 4 years, and then to waste her youth in selfreproach made her angry. The quietly burning anger was growing.

‘…Carlos, you worse than a dog, X…’

It was a thought that sprang out of consciousness. All the puzzles that had been floating messily in her head for 4 years were fitting together.

The anger and vague suspicions about Carlos, who ignored her loyalty and didn’t reach out when she fell into the abyss, began to take shape.

“Eat slowly.”

Lucius looked back at the Emperor of Perseta, who couldn’t possibly know the plot. He read her face very well without telling her his thoughts. He smiled slightly.

“You’re getting angry, aren’t you? Faster than I thought. Usually, they deny reality for over a week.”

“I’ve already done enough reality denial 4 years ago, so I don’t have time for that anymore. Is your goal to invade Kaleta, as you’ve done with Perseta?”

“No, one of the goals is to take back what the Kaleta emperor stole. Territory, power, magic, all of it.”

The words “one of the goals” caught her attention, but at least the ambition in those gray eyes was honest.

“What about General Gennes? Have you changed your mind?”

“I did get one goal.”

“I can help you with the goal to unlock magic.”

But Lucius looked at Hayden with a face that said, what are you talking about? Isn’t that it?

“It’s not that simple. I have to cut off Carlos’ head.”

Her green eyes became ferocious, and the anger inside them swirled hotly.
“If Your Majesty wishes to sit, I shall set a seat for you.”

The woman, who had nothing but a hollow title, openly and boldly displayed her fresh resentment at that moment.

Though she had nothing, the resolve to dedicate her whole body to revenge if needed shone clearly on her face, bathed in the morning sunlight.

Most people would laugh and ask what you could possibly do, but Hayden clearly saw that will beginning to burn brightly. So he was momentarily at a loss for words.

“If you don’t like it, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Even if she couldn’t completely tear away all the suppression or curses entwined around her body, she would cut off Carlos Arthur Ingram’s neck.

Hayden, who had been looking at Lu, who was making this vow, muttered that it would certainly have to be done that way.

“It’s not that I dislike it, I’m just overwhelmed.”

Lu looked at Emperor Perseita, who was staring straight at her, and laughed incredulously. It’s just a joke.

“I’m fine. Help me with revenge since you’re overwhelmed.”

“You’re resentful for being overwhelmed again, and now you want to use me? You’re heartless and cruel.”

By now, Lu felt that Hayden was talking nonsense, so she didn’t respond and drank her coffee.

The hand holding the cup trembled for a moment. It wasn’t trembling from weakness or shock, but from anger. A fire was raging inside.

Those lost four years, her honor that had been pointed at, the eleven years she spent away from her parents, everything was so unjust and infuriating that if she didn’t kill Carlos, she wouldn’t be able to stand it and would die.

She steadied her trembling hand. The trembling subsided.

“Then, heartless and cruel Lady Gennes.”

Lu knew that even sitting in the place of the Kaleta company was an insult, but she had deliberately ignored it until now, but she could no longer do so.

She shuddered at his blatant intention to use her to the bone.

“If I become your sword, what will you do for me?”

She asked, smiling brightly with affectionate eyes. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

If it’s for revenge, why not use whatever is available? She could endure humiliation, utilize the position of Kaleta company, and even hold the hand of a man who might be more dangerous than Carlos because she couldn’t know his inner thoughts.
