Alone, Lawrence, who woke up from sleep, sat on the bed absentmindedly and then got up from the bed in a disoriented posture.

“Why did I do that?”

How did he end up sleeping with Dipper, and moreover, getting caught in that scene by another new deity, Vellopia?

None of the scenes that had unfolded so far made logical sense.

“Oh my. What got into me?”

No matter how much he thought about it, something seemed definitely wrong.

Until he got angry because of Laclan, she had been in a rational state.

Then suddenly, a sound came from outside the window, and he looked at Muha.

“It’s all because of Laclan.”

It seemed that such incidents kept happening because he couldn’t obtain him.

Unable to fill the void, she impulsively engaged in relationships with other men.

The same happened with the man managing Rione’s intelligence bureau.

Trying to extract information, they eventually ended up in bed together.

It was always like that.

“Laclan.”

Lawrence was well aware that he would continue to lead such a ruined life until he fully obtained Laclan.

Suddenly, anxiety washed over him like waves.

“If that person marries Kellita, I’ll have to live under this curse again in this life.”

Her tear-streaked face looked a mess as she lifted her head again.

Lawrence put his hand behind the bed head and pulled it towards him.

Then, the space opened, revealing the concealed deities inside.

“How can you be sure that Laclan will come to me next time? The Absolute Deity always lied.”

Each time Lawrence ended his life, he heard the whisper of the Absolute Deity.

In the next life, Laclan will be your man.

Seduced by such temptations, he had lived this life so carelessly.

But he didn’t want to waste time like that again.

“I don’t want it anymore.”

Lawrence began to search the interior haphazardly.

In this secret space that even the maids couldn’t find, there were treasures enough to live through the imperial family if desired.

Deities and treasures of gold and silver.

While Jerard satisfied his own desires, Lawrence wasn’t just idly watching.

Then, a memory that Lawrence had forgotten for a while crossed his mind.

“The Twilight Ring!”

How could he have forgotten the existence so completely until now?

“I had the Twilight Ring!”

Around the time when Laclan and Vercheria were hiding from the world, Lawrence secretly stole the Twilight Ring from the Absolute Deity.

And he had kept it hidden in a place only he knew, so that he could find it in the next life or the life after that.

Now, if he could share Laclan and this ring, he had to spend his entire life with Lawrence, whether he liked it or not.

“Why didn’t I think of this before?”

She grabbed the deities outside like a mad person.

But no matter how much she searched, the Twilight Ring didn’t appear.

“No way…”
Lawrence’s pupils were shaking aimlessly.

Could it be that the Absolute Deity gave the Twilight Ring to Kellita?

Or perhaps Dipper stole the ring while she was asleep?

If not that, could it be Gerard, obsessed with gems?

“No!”

Lawrence ran out of the corridor like a madman.

In the process, he collided with Dipper, smashing his face into the latter’s back.

“Ouch!”

Dipper, who had been standing in front of him just before Lawrence woke up, was looking at a group of knights passing by in full armor.

“What’s going on?”

Lawrence, rubbing his nose, also looked and saw all the knights in the palace walking around fully armed.

The sight seemed as if they were gearing up for war.

When their eyes met, Lawrence grabbed one of the passing palace guards like a madman.

The guard, abruptly stopping his steps, recognized that the person who caught him was Lawrence and immediately bowed his head.

“Your Majesty.”

“Where is everyone going?”

He looked at the Empress, who was always a step behind in royal matters, with a disdainful gaze, then kindly explained.

“His Majesty the Emperor has declared war on the North.”

Lawrence and Dipper’s faces contorted simultaneously.

“What did you say?”

The palace guard repeated the information to Lawrence, enunciating each word.

“Duke Laclan is said to have stolen the Emperor’s property, committing treason.”

“What are you doing there? We don’t have time!”

At the shouted voice from the other side, the palace guard gave a polite bow to Lawrence and hurriedly ran the rest of the way.

Lawrence, watching the soldiers passing by in front of him, unknowingly swallowed hard.

“War with the North…”

The moment she uttered those words, she could painfully realize it.

The moment when the empire and the North went to war.

It meant that she would forever have no connection with Laclan.

“No. Absolutely not.”

“This damn…”

Lawrence and Dipper simultaneously shouted and, with pale faces, ran after the palace guards.

Vercheria, waking up from sleep, froze in surprise at the unfamiliar sight before her.

It was only after realizing that she had just shared sweet moments with Laclan here that she breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Perhaps humans haven’t entered this place for hundreds of years.’
