Since there’s not much time left, I want to leave the mansion and finish freely. It’s a plan to keep it a secret from others, so please cooperate as well.
The time I spent with you was truly happy.]
“Who the hell is the guy that the son who returned to the capital went through all this trouble for, Lady Leah.”
The Emperor looked down at the ceremonial hall with a self-deprecating smile.
It was amusing that he still remembered the contents of the letter Leah had secretly sent him a long time ago.
In the farewell letter, mentioning a man was probably meant to convey the message to quietly stay in the capital without following her or harboring any thoughts.
It was an inevitability without a choice. The Emperor chose to stay in the capital, raising a storm of blood. He ascended to the throne, stepping over the brothers who had tried to kill him.
Even though she had scattered so much blood in the palace and obtained illness as a punishment, why does she vividly remember those few nights as mere pastime for her?
‘At least those I killed did not leave together.’
It was when he smiled bitterly, looking at the star-studded sky.
With a rustling sound, someone’s presence was felt.
The Emperor turned around carefully to identify who was disrupting his contemplation.
“Marquis Lexion, what brings you here?”
“……. ”
Valter spared his words for a moment and looked at him. Despite his illness, the Emperor did not lose his dignity, and Valter couldn’t figure out what face to use to look at him.
‘This man is my father.’
If memories returned, he could know what kind of existence he was to his mother, but it wasn’t the time now. Even if he told him, “You are my father,” he could only get a nonchalant response.
What calmed him down from his complicated thoughts was Edith’s voice resonating in his mind.
“Valter, to calm your magic outburst, the help of His Majesty is essential. Then let’s find your memories and carefully consider the family issues.”
Edith pointed out the priorities with a calm attitude, as if solving his magic issue was the most urgent matter in the world.
If she wished, there was nothing he couldn’t bring up, even the difficult stories.
“I meet the retired Emperor.”
When Valter bowed his head and spoke, the Emperor’s eyes flickered.
Retired? Father?
Even after clearly understanding the meaning, the confusion did not subside.
“Retired, Marquis. As far as I know, your father is separate. The man Lady Leah left with.”
Valter, in a state of incomplete memory, could still confidently answer the Emperor’s question.
It was because Edith had told him the story of when she first met Leah and him several times.
“Mother left with me in her pregnant body. There was no adult male accompanying us.”
Having left alone, she struggled when giving birth and when moving around with a newborn baby. It was a conversation between Lady Lowell and his mother that Edith overheard.
The Emperor silently contemplated Valter’s words and suddenly realized something.
[I’ve decided to leave the capital with the man I’ll love for the rest of my life.]‘Was it a statement about a son rather than a lover?’
Leah, who secretly sent a letter to him about leaving, even from her father and family, was always a mystery to him.
But now, looking at Marquis Lexion, who referred to him as the retired Emperor, it seemed like the answer had finally come.
“I’m not speculating.”
“……. ”
“If Your Majesty wishes, I can prove it with blood right away.”
Valter spoke so and offered a blue necklace to the Emperor. It was a gift that Edith had received from Leah before.
“My son’s name is personally given, ‘Valter Jacques Lexion.’ Since there was no marriage, I added my surname Lexion as the father’s surname. I wanted to attach the father’s surname to the child, but I’m not sure if he would allow it.”
Thanks to Franz, who had preloaded the magic, the Emperor could hear a familiar voice as soon as he accepted it.
