The sudden voice made both Bercheria and Lakrahan shift their gazes simultaneously.
Loren was walking toward them, dusting the dirt off his legs.
Lakrahan looked at Loren with narrowed eyes.
He had felt it from the beginning, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that Loren was strangely hovering around Bercheria.
It was also strange that he knew her identity.
“Prince Loren.”
“Duke Lakrahan.”
With an overt expression, Lakrahan asked,
“I had momentarily forgotten, but why did you say you came to the Feriat Empire?”
Turning his head toward Bercheria, Loren pulled up the corners of his lips in a slight smile.
“Ah, don’t worry about it. I’ve already met the reason for my visit.”
The atmosphere among the three grew taut.
Lakrahan scoffed as if incredulous.
“Coming here to meet Bercheria, whose whereabouts even the empire’s citizens didn’t know, isn’t that a bit forced?”
Loren shrugged his raised shoulders and let them fall.
“Does a prince of the empire need to resort to forcing issues?”
Ten years had passed since the war, but the relations among the three nations still sharing the continent weren’t good.
The lack of willingness for trade from Emperor Gerard was one reason, and the fact that the war’s damages had not yet been fully recovered was another.
Under such circumstances, for the confirmed next emperor of the empire to travel without even a guardian knight was certainly an uncommon situation.
Lakrahan had assumed there must be a strong reason, and had concluded that it involved Emperor Gerard.
But what if the goal was Bercheria?
Even as he thought it unlikely, an ominous feeling wouldn’t go away.
“And Bercheria will know that what I’m saying isn’t forced.”
Loren spoke, smiling at her.
“Because I was the one who helped you leave the tower.”
Bercheria’s eyes widened.
“What do you mean?”
“Deriansis excels at many things, but among them, they’re particularly adept at crafting durable, efficient ropes.”
She remembered the rope that had been suddenly thrown into the tower when she first exited it.
It was the second time.
Something had fallen into the tower that no one could climb or descend.
The first was the egg of Condor Muha, and the second was the rope.
“Another thing Deriansis is good at is communicating with animals.”
Loren knew facts even Lakrahan wasn’t aware of.
Why the guardian spirit had disappeared from Feriat.
Where Bercheria had been all along.
“It wasn’t an easy task. I had to cross the border, gain the emperor’s trust, and deceive your mother.”
Bercheria’s lips parted slightly.
Loren stepped closer to her.
“How about it? Do you want to have a serious conversation with me now?”
Bercheria looked down.
After a moment of contemplation, she asked in a cautious voice.
“Is Prince Loren also proposing marriage to me right now?”
Loren’s face showed surprise, but he soon laughed out loud.
“Who else proposed to you?”
“Yes, it was Duke Lakrahan.”
The light in Loren’s face quickly dimmed.
Bercheria watched him, then shifted her gaze to Lakrahan who stood behind him.
Then she spoke to both men.
“Then it would be best for the three of us to have a conversation. I’m glad we could all meet before leaving.”
Having said her piece, Bercheria calmly turned and ascended the stairs.
Both men looked at her retreating figure with mixed feelings.
[Star Icon]The royal palace of Feriat.
A man who had just woken up stretched his large body and walked to the window.
As he opened the wide window to inspect the dark outside, an eagle seemed to have been waiting and flew into his room.
The man stretched out his arm and the eagle perched there.
“You must have come to deliver urgent news.”
He placed the eagle in a cage prepared on one side of the room, then took out a tightly folded paper from his leg.
A red fingerprint and a bloodstain at the end of the paper.
The man hurriedly dressed.
This was an urgent message from Leone to Emperor Gerard.
He swiftly exited the room and walked unhesitatingly toward the sleeping emperor’s quarters.
“I have an urgent message for His Majesty the Emperor.”
Upon showing the paper, the escort knight who nodded his head carefully opened the door and went in.
It was a public fact that there was no one in this palace who was not on Leone’s side.
“You may enter.”
The man walked inside and knelt down in front of the dark bed.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. This is an urgent message from Lord Leone.”
“Bring it.”
Still half-asleep, Gerard flicked his hand, and the man placed the note in it.
As Gerard rustled the note open, his body froze on the spot.
“Does this make sense right now?”
He muttered as if incredulous.
Then he suddenly began to shout as if he had lost his mind.
“Does this even make sense!”
Half a century ago, the deity who had suddenly been taken under protection and went missing had reappeared.
The Goddess of Weather, Bercheria.
“That old man was right. I should have gone there no matter what happened! Damn it!”
The goddess is currently in Lakrahan’s territory, and it was said she would soon marry Lakrahan.
“Useless Kelita!”
Crash! Bang.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
