“Strip off? What exactly?” Latil was puzzled, looking at the imposter, and subtly backed away.

The clothes or the mask? Either option was not good. But it was neither of them.

“I need to verify something. That’s why. Those shoes, take them off and show me for a moment.”

Shoes? Not the mask, but the shoes? Are you sure? This was an unexpected area, and so, Latil looked at the imposter with curiosity. However, the imposter was certainly pointing at the shoes.

Well, just shoes. Latil took off one shoe and put it aside.

“The other one too.”

After removing the other shoe and placing it down, standing barefoot, the imposter winked at Léan.

Upon receiving the signal, Léan approached and took the shoes. When Léan approached to take the shoes, Latil almost hit the back of her brother’s head in the moment, but she held back.

“Here.”

When Léan, who had taken the shoes, handed them to the imposter, the imposter examined the shoes with unusual interest.

Seeing that, Latil craned her neck. She already suspected that the imposter and Léan were on the same side. But isn’t it strange that Léan obediently listens to the imposter?

‘Of course, it would be even stranger if he didn’t listen to the imposter, who is now the emperor….’

Meanwhile. Léan also stood next to the imposter and carefully examined the shoes together.

It was indeed a bizarre sight. The shoes that were bought for only 3000 Bart on the street, albeit a counterfeit, were now being scrutinized by the emperor and the prince.

‘Doesn’t it smell?’

Finally, after having inhaled enough foot odor, the imposter put the shoes down and called for Latil.

“Alright, Vanessa. Take the shoes.”

When you came to get them, you did it yourself. Why. Don’t you give it back directly? Latil grumbled only internally and obediently went to get the shoes and quickly put them on.

Then, she clasped her hands together and looked up politely, the imposter commanded with dignity.

“Your shoes were worn out. Even though you are a maid, when you work in my room, I’d like you to wear good ones.”

“I will buy shoes as soon as I receive my salary, Your Majesty.”

“I’ll tell you separately, so tell the chamberlain to give you a pair.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty.”

What consideration. It’s funny. Latil sneered as she left the bedroom. The imposter did not care because Latil’s shoes were worn out.

These were shoes she bought a few days ago. Although they were cheap shoes, they couldn’t wear out after just a few days. Are cheap shoes particularly faster to wear out than expensive shoes?

Everything the emperor said was an excuse. The emperor did not want to check the shoes Latil was wearing. It was to take off Latil’s shoes.

In other words, the emperor….

‘That imposter’s transformation item might be shoes. Because his transformation item is shoes, he definitely tried to take off my shoes.’

Then, if I take off the imposter’s shoes, won’t I be able to reveal to everyone that the imposter is an imposter?

Before going down the stairs. Latil stopped suddenly and turned her head. At the end of the hallway. As the door opened, Léan came out.

The brother who she loved so much, still loves, and therefore cannot forgive. Latil quickly turned around and hurriedly went down the stairs.

When the cold handrail hit her palm, she got goosebumps and her mind calmed down just in time.

‘I have to take off that imposter’s shoes. But how? The imposter has power and can just give orders, but now I can’t order the imposter?’

At that time. Sosuran, who couldn’t even get off his horse and had his thighs bruised from riding, finally managed to find Sernut.

But Sosuran couldn’t call him and just stopped his horse at a distance, anxiously gripping and releasing his reins.

‘What should I do.’

He was a step late. He could see Sernut in the distance. But other people could see him too.

Those who have the royal flag. In this situation, Emperor Latrasil wouldn’t send any other subordinate with her flag, so they must be the subordinates sent by the imposter emperor or Prince Léan. In other words, they were the enemy.

But Sernut, who had no way of knowing that they were the enemy, was calmly having a conversation with them.

‘Your Majesty. What should I do?’

Sosuran bit his lower lip anxiously behind a tree trunk. After pondering for a while, he finally grabbed the reins again.

“Apologies. Let’s hang in there a bit longer.”

There were only two types of people who could remove the Emperor’s shoes without it feeling out of place: those who assisted during bath times, and… the harem.

The maidservants were the ones who assisted during baths, but realistically, Latil couldn’t ask them for such a favor. How could a newbie maid ask the maidservants? Would you like to see the Emperor’s feet? They would never listen.

No, besides that, the impostor wouldn’t be taking baths from the maidservants. If they took off the shoes, the impostor would be exposed.

“Sir Hyacinth. May I ask you a question?”

“If it’s about work.”
