At that time, Lorencia did not understand Carlien’s statement that he had become free.
Carlien tried to persuade Ruans to prevent the war from happening. Lorencia never wondered why he tried to stop the war. At that time, war was what Ruans wanted, and she thought, no, she was under the illusion that if he won the war, his love for her would deepen.
She had no idea of the severity of the war that Carlien was explaining and the suffering of the people who would experience it.
All that mattered to her was that the person she loved wanted war. In her ignorance, not knowing that giving is not the only form of love, she extinguished many lives.
And.
Angry Ruans told her to go and see the future about whether Carlien would be helpful to him or not from now on. At that time, Lorencia learned everything about Carlien.
If he lived, Ruans’ life or his position as Emperor would be in danger. His story was unfortunate, but for the sake of the person she loved, she revealed the truth to Ruans.
It was foolish. She only cared about Ruans’ mood more than other people’s pain.
In the end, when she heard the news that Carlien had been brutally tortured to death as an attempted assassin of the Emperor, she felt sorry. If she hadn’t mentioned the war to him who had become free, perhaps Carlien would have left the Isuter Empire with his family.
“I’ll have to tell you about the dream His Highness Prince Ruans wants.”
And now that she has twisted the present out of Ruans’ grasp, she can save him.
“That’s right. You told me to find out about Lady Lorencia’s dream.”
“If it’s about a dream, then tell him this. That I became lovers with Sir Spencer for the hunting competition.”
“Is that all I need to tell him?”
Carlien tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
“If I reject Sir Teishar’s confession, he will return to the Poloid Empire, and if Sir Teishar returns to Poloid, the miracle of the hunting competition will disappear, so I had no choice but to become his lover. And tell him that I love only you, Prince Ruans, and that it’s so painful to be lovers with him, but I had no choice but to become lovers to create a miracle for you… If you tell him like this, he will be happy.”
“That miracle seems to be something His Highness Prince Ruans desperately wants.”
“That’s right, Sir Carlien. It’s what Prince Ruans wants the most right now.”
“If it’s something His Highness wants.”
What Ruans wanted the most. It was the death of Crown Prince Adrian. Because only then could Ruans take the position of Crown Prince. Carlien’s hair stood up just thinking about it.
“That’s right. What you’re thinking right now is probably correct, Sir Carlien.”
Carlien’s eyes widened at Lorencia’s words that seemed to pierce through his mind.
Carlien’s heart began to beat loudly as he looked at Lorencia, who was smiling leisurely. Just the fact that Lorencia could see the future filled his whole body with joy. He also thought that he might be able to escape his suffocating situation now.
“I also know that you are a close aide who wants to break free from Prince Ruans. Prince Ruans often told me about it.”
“Lady Lorencia. I have a question.”
“Yes.”
“What did His Highness Prince Ruans say about me to you?”
“He said you are a bird that can never fly.”
There is no freedom for a bird that cannot fly.
“I’ll only tell you, Sir Carlien. I can see the future in my dreams. That’s why His Highness Prince Ruans is obsessed with me. Of course, I also saw your future.”
“My future?”
After Carlien was executed, his family either took their own lives or were scattered.
“In your future, Sir Carlien, you do not find freedom.”
So, this time, she intends to give Carlien definite freedom.
“So, I’m thinking of finding that freedom you seek, Sir Carlien. I’ll give freedom to your family as well.”
At Lorencia’s words, goosebumps crawled all over Carlien’s body. Her words brought to mind the smiles of his family. In the past, he dreamed of freedom with his family.
“I don’t mind not being free anymore. If my family can become free, that’s enough.”
“Your current words are asking me to give up your own freedom so that your family can become free.”
“That’s correct. I don’t care what happens to me, but I ask for the freedom of my sick mother and younger sister.”
Lorencia stared intently at Carlien, who was bowing his head and pleading.
“In the future I saw, Prince Ruans plans to start a war after ascending to the position of Emperor.”
“A war? That must never happen.”
At that moment, there was a knocking sound and the door opened. Carlien flinched when he saw the person who entered.
“Sir Spencer!”
Carlien tensed at Teishar’s appearance.
“I called him, Sir Carlien.”
Teishar just nodded at Carlien’s greeting. And he immediately sat down next to Lorencia.
“This is the information on the priestess of the Ella Temple that you asked for before.”
“Thank you, Sir Teishar.”
Teishar smiled and handed the documents he brought to Lorencia. Lorencia, who received the documents, carefully read through them. Carlien was surprised to see her reading.
According to Ruans, Lorencia had not learned to read. He clearly said she couldn’t read or write.
“I learned to read not long ago.”
Lorencia smiled brightly at Carlien as she read the documents.
“Aren’t you curious about what I’m reading now, Sir Carlien?”
Lorencia handed the documents she was reading to Carlien, who was sitting across from her.
“May I read it?”
“Yes. The documents Sir Teishar brought are information about the temple that serves the goddess Ella. It’s related to the war.”
Carlien took the documents with a puzzled expression and started reading them. As he read, his face gradually turned to shock. He started flipping through the pages faster and faster.
“The high priestess on the last page is the woman who will become Prince Ruans’ consort.”
“This is unbelievable. They prepared for such a long time? Just for a war?”
“It’s not just a war. This is a huge plan. And we have to stop that huge plan.”
Carlien couldn’t continue speaking with his head bowed. Between his green hair that fell in disarray, his tightly closed lips and tense jawline could be seen. His body started to tremble.
“If this is the truth, it absolutely cannot be overlooked.”
“What I want is to prevent the war that will start when Prince Ruans becomes Emperor.”
Carlien, who crumpled the documents he had read, couldn’t believe it.
“I can’t believe the temple that serves the goddess Ella is doing such cruel things.”
“It’s unbelievable, but it’s true. Count Daniel Graykan has been using the Ella Temple for a very long time.”
Carlien felt like vomiting at the disgusting things of the Ella Temple. He couldn’t believe it even after reading the documents.
Carlien’s face turned ashen.
Based on the continuing dreams from the future, Lorencia asked Teishar to investigate the Ella Temple.
And the truth she learned was truly horrifying.
“I twisted the present future to prevent the war. And I called you here, Sir Carlien, to prepare for the war.”
Carlien forcibly suppressed his surging, intense emotions.
“What should I do?”
[This is the timeline separator]“You’ve worked hard, Lady Lorencia.”
“No, Sir Teishar.”
Carlien was in a situation where he was forcibly held by Ruans and Daniel.
Adrian welcomed the fact that Carlien, a close aide to Ruans, had a change of heart, but said he couldn’t be trusted. He warned that someone who betrayed the person they served cannot be kept close and should always be watched carefully.
“Call him by his nickname when you two are together.”
“I’m not used to it yet.”
“Then you don’t have to force yourself to call him that.”
“Ter.”
Lorencia blushed and said Teishar’s nickname, embarrassed.
When Lorencia called his nickname, Teishar’s eyes curved beautifully like crescents. Teishar, who was smiling at her reaction, sat closer to Lorencia.
“Loa.”
