The people of the North occasionally lamented that Lakrahan showed no interest in women.
It was inevitable, for they needed a leader to rule them in succession.
So far, it was just a concern as Lakrahan was young, but the elders of the North insisted that he must be married, even if forced.
People watching were completely taken aback when Lakrahan, who had acted this way, suddenly approached a stranger woman and kissed her.
It seemed impossible that it was Lakrahan, who usually treated women as stones.
“Wow, shit. Something’s wrong.”
Wyatt tapped his head nervously.
Because he knew what Lakrahan’s action meant now.
The kiss with that woman was a declaration to become an enemy with the emperor.
Soon, the rumor will spread throughout the entire Feriat Empire, beyond the North.
Princess Kelita is staying in the North to propose to Lakrahan, of all times, now!
Lakrahan’s act of kissing another woman at this time would certainly bring about a tremendous aftermath from the moment it reached Emperor Gerard’s ears.
Also, it was like publicly declaring a woman whose name he didn’t even know as his own.
Lakrahan couldn’t have possibly not known what it meant to kiss in front of everyone in a still conservative imperial society.
Wyatt looked up at the room where Kelita was staying.
The shadow that had been hiding behind the curtain in the lit window vanished with a whoosh as it met his eyes.
“Damn it.”
The hail vanished in an instant next to the cursing Wyatt and turned into a thin drizzle.
“It stopped. Thank God.”
“We almost had a big problem.”
Getting wet clothes or hair was nothing compared to the hail.
People’s breaths of relief burst forth.
People were unable to think that the change in the weather was because of Bercheria due to Lakrahan suddenly kissing a strange woman.
They didn’t even have a chance to think about it.
Only one person.
Except for Kelita.
“It’s Bercheria!”
Running out of the castle, Kelita pointed at Lakrahan and Bercheria and yelled.
“Look at her hair, look at her eyes! Just now, that woman came out and it rained! I knew something was strange from the beginning. It can’t be. It just can’t be!”
People were accustomed to the princess’s demeanor, who was now screaming with her hair disheveled.
For the past few years, whenever she visited the North, people had praised Kelita for her elegance and grace as the princess of the empire.
But now she seemed like a completely different person.
A madwoman captured by delusion, ranting and raving, nothing more, nothing less.
“Why are you all like this?”
When Kelita snapped, the noisy square became as quiet as a dead mouse.
“That woman who starved people to death and caused wars is the goddess of weather!”
But sometimes, rude words can hit home more effectively.
Like now.
Kelita’s voice was enough to wake people who were distracted by the rain and hail.
“Don’t you believe the princess’s words? Don’t you know who I am? I’m Princess Kelita!”
Kelita screamed, pointing at Bercheria.
“Catch the goddess of weather immediately! Tell her to repay all the sins she has committed!”
[Star Icon]It was a fierce desire she felt for the first time in her life.
Even when she was locked in a narrow tower, taking the medicine her mother gave her, when loneliness worse than death came, when she had to endure the emptiness that felt like her soul was draining and her power was taken away.
Bercheria had never lost her sanity.
She tried not to forget who she was and why she had to endure this pain, knowing that she couldn’t die.
But this was not just a matter of enduring pain.
Thirst.
It felt like all the exhaustion in every corner of the body had to be poured out to feel relief.
All I wanted was to be at ease before these useless forces, roaming within me, exploded and ruined me.
This is what it must feel like when power runs wild.
But Bercheria, already consumed by thirst, could not resist at all.
She didn’t even notice people getting hurt.
The thin string connecting reason and instinct snapped at that moment.
Bercheria was certain that from now on, her life would flow in the completely opposite direction of what she had anticipated.
An end, in some sense.
After her power went berserk, she might have just remained a madwoman who had once contained the power of a god.
Perhaps that would be easier.
A stranger’s warmth seeped into her waist as she relaxed and closed her eyes.
“……!”
Her consciousness, which had fallen into a distant place, returned to reality as if awakening from sleep.
“Bercheria.”
The moment her name was called from his lips, Bercheria’s eyes, which had been hazy, cleared.
Her vision was filled with the earnest eyes of a man, raised by the power of Lakrahan.
“Don’t give up.”
Lakrahan whispered, pushing his lips between Bercheria’s opened mouth.
A strange warmth intermingled, and Bercheria’s hot, scalding breath crossed over to him.
“Haah.”
If the body had heated up this much, even a sane person’s brain would have been ruined.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
