Thanks to that, she could lure the Second Prince and enchant magic into glass slippers to fit only her feet.

If she chased out Shanna now, as she suggested, it would be difficult for her to move like she had lost her limbs. Floria clicked her tongue.

“Okay, let’s do this. Let’s make a contract that you won’t betray me again. When I ascend to the position of queen and you find the source of the Lynn, then the contract will disappear.”

After joining hands again, Floria devised a plan to simultaneously frame the vile Renéola, who had left for the Shizu Command, and deal with the crisis that had come to her. She planned to falsely accuse Renéola with a despicable crime and then kill her.
Then, as the blame poured on Renéola, Floria’s reputation would rise, and the First Prince, who had lost his wife, would lose his qualification to inherit the throne.

“If I become the queen, I will compensate for the damages suffered and help the Heights prosper even more.”

In response to Floria’s provocation, the Countess of Shizu quickly came over. However, she didn’t care about the account book that was never handed over. After all, she planned to kill her as soon as the matter was settled.

The plan was simple. Renéola had mentioned at some point that she had feelings for Matthias Linton, the librarian, and conveniently, he was accompanying her on this inspection. They planned to make it look like the two of them had run away in love.

“Do not feel too unjust, sister. You will die with the person you once liked, even if it’s just for a moment.”

Watching the procession of the First Prince leaving for the inspection, Floria chuckled.

Everything went according to her plan. After separating the First Prince from Renéola, she caused a landslide and lured Renéola and Matthias, killing them. With Shanna’s magic, she manipulated the memories of the maid and the knight who were beside Renéola, making it seem like the two had escaped together.

Anticipating that the enraged First Prince would imprison the Earl’s couple, Floria had already cast a silence spell.

Everything went according to plan, but Floria was annoyed that the reactions were not as she desired.

Ideally, the people of the kingdom should be cursing Renéola, expressing anger towards the confused First Prince, and the nobles should be unanimously supporting Eric considering the uncertain state of the king.

“I’d rather just kill the king right now.”

As Floria spoke while biting her nails, Shanna nodded.

“As I mentioned before, royals are under the protection of the First Queen, so I cannot kill him with my own hands. Moreover, the royal palace is filled with protective charms set up by wizards. Considering the limitations in using mana due to manipulating the memories of the maid and the knight and exhausting my power, it’s difficult.”

‘Useless.’

It was frustrating that using a little magic depleted her mana. If there were other fairies, she would have wanted to replace them immediately.

“Then are you saying we should just sit back until the king dies on his own?”

“He seemed to have a short lifespan left. It seemed impossible for the First Prince to remarry before that, so please wait a little longer.”

“He seemed on the verge of passing away any moment, yet he stubbornly clings to life.”

As Shanna said, if they waited, Eric would ascend to the throne. However, Floria felt strangely restless. Perhaps it was because she hadn’t personally confirmed Renéola’s corpse with her own eyes.
According to the assassins, Renéola fell below the steep cliff to the point where even her corpse couldn’t be recovered. The assassins asserted that there was no chance of anyone surviving there. However, there was still a possibility.

Floria, who was biting her nails while contemplating, turned her head to Shanna.

“Bring the Violet Count and Countess.”

In such a situation, there are still those who haven’t given up on the First Prince. Floria planned to pressure the nobles to support Eric using the people of the kingdom.

For that, they needed the Violet Count.

At some point, I regained consciousness and blinked my eyes. The ceiling with geometric patterns was terribly unfamiliar.

‘Why am I lying here?’

I was definitely on my way to find Cahilun upon hearing the news of the danger to his life due to the landslide.

Then, I remembered being attacked by bandits while riding in a carriage and jumping off the cliff with Matthias, as if it were a scene from a movie.

“Gasp!”

I quickly sat up and looked around. Could this be…?

Raising both hands, I looked back and forth, and after checking my body, I came to a conclusion.

“It’s heaven.”

There’s no way I could have fallen from such a high cliff and be unharmed. Well, damn.

“To die so meaninglessly.”

If I had known it would end like this, I wouldn’t have lived so diligently! It was absurd and ridiculous, and a bitter laugh escaped.

‘What happened to Cahilun?’

Even after death, the face that came to my mind first made me bury my head in my hands.

At that moment, someone slowly opened and entered through the door.

“Oh? Are you awake?”
