It didn’t make sense. How could Lorencia be of the bloodline of the Duke of Glosston?
“You’re saying you’re from the Duke of Glosston’s family? You expect me to believe that?”
“I’d appreciate it if you’d speak to me with proper respect from now on, Lady Illina.”
Illina trembled with anxiety about the unacceptable truth, in shock and confusion at having to accept an unbelievable reality.
If by any chance Lorencia really became the duchess of Glosston, even if she became the head of the Pol Heredian family, she wouldn’t be able to treat her carelessly.
‘I was planning to trample on the monster who had become a commoner.’
Illina bit her thumbnail. Her anxious feelings could not be hidden at all.
How had she treated Lorencia all this time?
From a young age, she had learned from Brant and Anne that it was okay to bully Lorencia.
Lorencia was an emotional trash can. She was recognized as a being worse than livestock that could be treated any way.
And now this Lorencia, who was worse than trash, was becoming a duchess, a higher position than herself, a count’s daughter?
She was supposed to accept this now?
“Don’t lie.”
Illina’s lips trembled.
“No matter how much I tell you the truth, you take it as a lie.”
Lorencia slowly approached Illina.
“I’ve prepared a gift for you who can’t accept the truth.”
“A gift?”
“Yes. But that gift doesn’t necessarily have good intentions.”
“Why are you doing this to me? Should I apologize? Will that do?”
“I didn’t expect you to mention the word apology, Illina.”
Illina shuddered at the death of animals Lorencia mentioned.
From a young age, she had killed them simply because it was fun to see the pleading for life in those clear eyes of the howling animals.
But after experiencing the deaths of Anne and Brant, she realized that death was not something fun.
“I won’t apologize for bullying you. Because that was my job.”
“I’m glad. That you didn’t apologize to me.”
Lorencia said as she approached Illina.
“I hope you never apologize to me in the future.”
“Lorencia. It’s natural for a bastard to live a life worse than livestock. You just experienced what’s natural, so why would I apologize for that? Do you even know what an apology means?”
“Yes. Keep that attitude. I will never apologize for anything I do to you from now on. So let’s not feel sorry for each other. Illina.”
As Lorencia left with Leanid, Balan, who was outside, immediately entered the reception room and checked on Illina.
And he found the family seal and Brant’s will on the table.
“Are you alright, Lady Illina?”
Illina’s gaze moved from Balan to the family seal and then to Brant’s will.
The handwriting on the will matched Brant’s.
The will was full of apologies and declarations of love for her.
It also said he hoped she would forget about Ruans, meet a good man, and lead the Pol Heredian family well.
Of course, she intended to follow her father’s will. But her mind was filled with Lorencia’s words.
She didn’t understand why she had to hear such insulting words when she had only treated Lorencia as less than livestock as Brant and Anne had instructed.
Surely she wouldn’t do something like breaking up with Marquis Teishar and becoming Ruans’s concubine as revenge against her?
If she really became Ruans’s concubine, she could just do her best to incite people to bully her, but if by any chance she had a child…
What if that child ends up sitting on the imperial throne of Isuter in the future?
“I absolutely can’t let that happen.”
[This is the timeline separator]Pelena was busy welcoming Sara, the high priestess of the Ella Goddess Temple, who had secretly visited the Isuter Empire today.
Sara’s silky soft platinum blonde hair and pomegranate seed-like red eyes sparkled like rubies.
“How do you like it? Do you like the glass greenhouse, High Priestess?”
“I like it very much, Lady Pelena.”
Pelena guided Sara to the comfortable chairs and table inside the greenhouse.
“I just want you to know that I went through a lot of trouble to show you this glass greenhouse.”
“Thank you. It’s so beautiful, Lady Pelena.”
The various types of trees and flowers in the glass greenhouse delighted Sara’s eyes.
“Lady Pelena. No, I should call you Empress Dowager now, shouldn’t I?”
“No, please continue to call me by my name.”
Pelena spoke kindly, looking at the beautiful Sara in awe.
“Lady Pelena. You’ve been through a lot.”
“It’s nothing compared to you, Lady Sara.”
“But Lady Pelena.”
“Yes, High Priestess.”
“When do you plan to catch the purple-eyed monster who fled to the Polroid Empire?”
“Don’t worry. I plan to catch her soon and offer her on the altar.”
“But can you really catch the purple-eyed monster who has run away and hidden so well?”
“That’s why we needed you, High Priestess Sara.”
Sara tilted her head at Pelena’s words.
“Empress Dowager, His Majesty the Emperor has entered the glass greenhouse.”
A maid approached Pelena and said.
“Bring him here immediately.”
“Yes.”
Ruans was annoyed at Pelena’s sudden summons, but he had no choice but to visit the glass greenhouse when told an important guest had arrived.
“It’s a place that gives me a headache whenever I come.”
The smell of trees and flowers in the glass greenhouse made Ruans suffocate. As he approached the center of the greenhouse, he saw Pelena. And he saw the woman sitting opposite her.
She was a woman with moonlight-like platinum blonde hair and red eyes.
She was a pretty woman, but he was immediately put in a bad mood upon seeing her. Her red eyes reminded him of Teishar.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. You’ve arrived.”
“Yes.”
“Greet him, Your Majesty Ruans.”
Ruans looked down at the doll-like woman who was sitting with her back straight and just smiling, while even Pelena, the empress dowager, stood up to greet him.
“This is High Priestess Sara of the Ella Goddess Temple.”
Only then did Ruans understand Pelena’s cautious behavior towards the woman.
He didn’t like it. The way she looked at him with her chin raised haughtily and her arrogant red eyes shining.
“I am Ruans von Isuter, Emperor of the Isuter Empire.”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Sara, the high priestess of the temple serving the Goddess Ella.”
Ruans slowly examined Sara. She was beautiful, but her appearance fell short compared to Lorencia.
If Lorencia was a fragrant red rose, Sara was a peony without fragrance.
A flower that’s pretty but has no scent, uncomfortable to look at, and lacks charm.
A flower that doesn’t attract interest. A flower that doesn’t matter when it withers.
Ruans was not pleased with the thought of such a woman becoming his empress.
No matter how he thought about it, his empress should be the beautiful Lorencia.
“Your Majesty Ruans. Please take a seat.”
Pelena was greatly embarrassed by Ruans’s indifferent attitude. Sara’s appearance was beautiful enough to captivate any man.
She had expected Ruans, who likes beautiful women, to be pleased upon seeing Sara, but instead he showed an uninterested attitude.
“I have a lot of pending work, so I cannot sit down.”
“If you’re busy, it can’t be helped.”
Pelena forced a smile. Ruans also showed a forced smile before leaving his seat.
Pelena found this behavior of Ruans very unfamiliar. And she looked at Sara’s reaction.
“Lady Sara. It seems Emperor Ruans is very busy. I would appreciate your understanding.”
“If he says he’s busy, it can’t be helped.”
Sara smiled brightly.
“Then, continuing our conversation from earlier, what action should I take to catch the purple-eyed monster?”
“We plan to declare war on the Polroid Empire.”
“War?”
“Yes. We plan to declare a very holy religious war on the Polroid Empire to capture the witch Lorencia who is impersonating the child of Goddess Ella.”
“That’s a good idea. Many imperial believers who follow me will lend their strength to the Isuter Empire.”
Pelena smiled pleasantly.
“I will declare a religious war according to Lady Pelena’s opinion.”
“Then I will prepare for war, trusting only in you, High Priestess.”
“It feels like… finally,” she said.
“For the white snake, Lady Sara.”
Pelena said, bowing her head with her hands clasped to her chest. The maids present also knelt following Pelena.
“For Lady Sara.”
As Pelena spoke, the maids behind her also repeated.
[This is the timeline separator]“Ter, I’ve confirmed a future where the high priestess of the Ella Goddess Temple visits the Polroid Empire.”
Lorencia confirmed Sara’s existence through the amethyst bead.
“What kind of future was it?”
“The Ella Goddess Temple intends to brand me as a witch, just like they did to my mother. And after saying blasphemous things to Her Majesty the Queen who takes my side, a fight eventually breaks out, and it leads to war.”
The Ella Goddess Temple declared a religious war on the Polroid Empire.
“I don’t want a war to happen.”
“If Lorencia doesn’t want it, war won’t happen. What are you worried about?”
“Sara.”
“You mean the white snake?”
“She had been hiding her identity, cooped up in the Ella Goddess Temple and not coming out.”
In the previous future, Sara, the high priestess of the Ella Goddess Temple, did not reveal her identity. But the current High Priestess Sara, who has been twisted, has revealed herself.
“She said she’d ask Marquis Spencer to escort her when she visits the Polroid Imperial Palace.”
“What?”
Teishar’s expression instantly became dumbfounded at the absurd story.
“Her Majesty the Queen will call for you soon. And she’ll ask you to escort the High Priestess.”
“That’s troublesome.”
“Yes, it’s really troublesome.”
The Sara I saw in my dream had platinum blonde hair and red eyes.
She was beautiful like a well-made glass doll. She even leaned her head on Teishar’s shoulder.
When I saw that, it felt like my heart froze. It was certain that Sara’s actions made me unstable.
I felt angry, and a strange fear too.
“I can’t watch Ter escort any woman other than me.”
Lorencia frowned. Teishar smiled at that sight.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
