“Please protect the Emperor from LaHart, Your Majesty.”
The Empress gazed quietly at Delpast.
“From LaHart?”
“Cramnel LaHart has coiled himself around His Majesty.”
“I’ve heard even from afar that snake LaHart is harming you. But to me, it’s just a distant story now.”
“LaHart has fabricated a fake daughter of the late Prince Michael Delpast. When the sun rises today, Luchella will pierce the heart of that fake. At the same time, another hole will be made in His Majesty’s heart. LaHart intends to lay his snake eggs in that hole. Your Majesty, please help.”
Sion bowed his head.
A long silence followed.
He could feel the Empress just gazing at him quietly.
“If he’s deceived, it’s his own destiny. The path of misery he chose.”
“…”
“I no longer have the power to stop it. If the woman LaHart brought is fake, the holy sword will reveal it. It’s not for you to decide.”
“I know, Your Majesty. She is a fake.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Because I have seen the real princess.”
“?! What do you mean?”
The Empress’s voice trembled for the first time.
A memory she never shared with anyone, a secret her parents strictly told her to keep. Revealing it could invite greater suspicion from the Emperor.
Sion Delpast finally revealed that secret.
“When I was eight, I went with my father to see Prince Michael Delpast. You knew, Your Majesty, that my father was protecting the Prince, who had fled from the Emperor’s pursuit.”
“I knew. The Emperor knew too, that’s why…”
The Empress closed her eyes.
The tragedy she couldn’t prevent.
The Emperor’s stubbornness to not accept Agnes, the saint of the fallen nation, into the royal family and his attempts to kill his son’s love – a stubbornness and obsession she could not stop as an Empress and a mother.
That helplessness is still unforgettable.
[It’s because he’s not your biological son that you say we should accept him!] The man who once whispered love to me, the Emperor I believed in, turned his bloodshot eyes towards me in rage.The memory of that heart-wrenching wound resurfaced.
Delpast spoke.
“I saw the young princess there too. It’s a vague memory, but the princess had the same sky-blue eyes as the Crown Princess and the same silver hair as the Crown Prince.”
The Empress’s eyes trembled like dew in the wind.
“I know because I saw it. That’s why I know the one LaHart presented is fake. She doesn’t have green hair or golden eyes.”
“I regretfully never saw her. Trapped in a cage-like palace under His Majesty’s surveillance, I couldn’t even ask for my granddaughter’s name or appearance. There was no way to contact her. Are you telling me the truth?”
“Yes.”
The Empress lost her words for a moment, then gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
“The Empire’s sun is losing its light.”
“Duke.”
The Empress’s voice grew heavy.
But Sion did not stop.
“Today, if it’s revealed before everyone that the princess candidate His Majesty believed in is again a fake, and he breaks down again, LaHart’s wishes will come closer. I want to prevent that.”
“LaHart’s wishes? What are they?”
“I can’t say for sure, but I think he wants to weaken His Majesty and control his mind.”
I know exactly.
His goal is to possess this Empire.
But I can’t tell the Empress that now.
“Why do you want to help His Majesty? Wasn’t it he who drove your father to death in war?”
The Empress’s words touched Sion’s painful wound.
But it’s a conversation that must be had, here and now.
Sion began.
“Your Majesty believes my father assassinated the Crown Prince. Of course, without evidence to prove otherwise, and not finding the real assassin, this happened. Your Majesty, do you also think Delpast did it?”
“I don’t think so. But I haven’t found evidence to the contrary. Only Delpast knew where the Crown Prince was hidden.”
“It was LaHart who reported to His Majesty the whereabouts of the Crown Prince.”
“!”
“LaHart knew where the Crown Prince was. And then my father died, and the living LaHart brought the fake princess before His Majesty.”
“How are you sure LaHart is behind it?”
“I poisoned myself in the Southern Duke’s castle, cornering LaHart to save my lieutenant, Arkady, who was also threatened with assassination. My men saved him. And I took away LaHart’s ‘most precious thing.'”
“His most precious thing?”
“A woman who knows all of Southern’s sins. She was an aide to Duchess Medea.”
“A traitor?”
“Yes. To her, I was a savior.”
“…”
“I learned from her that LaHart was behind the fake princess. I have solid evidence, though not enough yet. But I can’t use it yet. To firmly press down their lies, we need to deceive them bigger.”
The Empress’s heart began to pound heavily.
Sion Delpast, known as honest and upright, unfit for politics.
That was what the Empress heard about Delpast.
But now, this young man before her is different from the Delpast she knew.
“So, what do you want from me?”
“I seek Your Majesty’s power.”
Suddenly appearing, asking to borrow my power. It’s too hasty.
How can he be sure I have power? Even I am not sure of my own strength.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
