How to Turn a Kind Savior into an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 86

The ten months Carson and she had promised each other had already passed. Though she longed to go to him without hesitation, her growing impatience made Ines feel smaller.

She was one who, like the midday sun, rightfully belonged at the highest place—but the more so, the further she drifted from her, who always remained at the very lowest depths.

Within the Imperial Palace of the Caynes Empire, killing the Emperor’s knights—who had not struck first—would amount to outright treason.

In particular, a diamond the size of a fist—received in exchange for capturing commoner children and orphans and selling them as slaves abroad—enraged even noble-born knights who had no prior connection to the matter.
