The last person to appear was Hyacinth. As he leaned back and asked the maids with a warmthless gaze, the maids quickly bowed in politeness and immediately responded.
“You must have come late, Your Majesty, and didn’t see, but that woman attacked the Empress and brought her down.”
“See the Empress lying unconscious here.”
“Clearly she did this malicious deed thinking it would be fine as the Empress was alone.”
Latil didn’t even think that Hyacinth would believe those words. Regardless of this and that, Hyacinth was the one who had seen Latil the longest, and he knew about Latil’s considerable sword skills. He also knew that Latil wouldn’t easily harm others.
As expected, Hyacinth snorted at once.
“I saw the Empress collapse by herself. That’s strange.”
As he spit out in ridicule, the maids’ faces hardened, perhaps they hadn’t expected him to have seen everything on his way here.
“Is it a lack of shame or a lack of conscience?”
Watching the tense standoff between Hyacinth and the maids, Latil clicked her tongue inwardly. She had heard that Hyacinth didn’t get along with the Empress’s people. It seemed it was true.
[This is the time separator]When Aini opened her eyes, she remained still for a moment, without moving, looking at the familiar ceiling painting. She remembered the man standing among the blowing petals and the green meadow she saw in her dream just before.
The sensation at that time was so vivid that she couldn’t tell whether the past was a dream or the present was a dream.
“Your Majesty. You’re awake.”
At the cheerful voice coming from the side, Aini realized this was reality and turned her head. A maid quickly approached her with a worried look.
“Are you okay?”
“Why am I here……?”
“You went to see that strange woman and fell unconscious.”
“Strange woman? Ah, that woman.”
Aini frowned as she recalled the situation right before she fainted. Once again, the dream she had just had unfolded before her eyes, and her body felt like it was floating.
“The palace doctor says there’s nothing wrong with your body. But since you’ve become emotionally weak after Redler’s death, it’s recommended you rest and avoid exertion.”
After finishing the explanation, the maid holding the vase hugged it and glanced at Aini over the flowers and stems. Aini was staring at the wall with a halfdazed face.
The maid watched her quietly for a moment and then asked softly.
“Why did you faint earlier?”
They had protested harshly against that strange woman the emperor brought, but in reality, the maids knew that Aini had fainted on her own.
The reason they insisted it was because of that woman was because, after all, that woman said something, and they assumed that Aini would have fainted due to anger. Especially since Aini had been weak in mind and body after her friend’s death.
The maid thought that Aini would talk about the nonsense she heard from that strange woman.
“I don’t know.”
However, Aini mumbled with a closed voice and shook her head.
“Why I called his name. Why I grabbed him. Why I fainted.”
“Huh? Him? Did you know that woman’s name?”
“No, not that woman……”
The man. That man who was decadently beautiful. His face was terribly pale, and frightfully handsome…
Ainy covered her face with her hands. The one thing she was sure of was that a strange emotion emerged as soon as she thought of him.
She didn’t know what this emotion was, but it was certainly not bad. Thus, Ainy felt this was even stranger.
How did she know a man that she didn’t even know? What on earth was this emotion, and what was that spectacle she saw in her dream?
In her dream, she was lying on a floor strewn with shattered glass, and that man was lying next to her too.
The shards of glass were slowly reddening with the blood that oozed from them, and the two people were…
“Louise.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Could you bring that man here?”
At Ainy’s request, the maid opened her eyes wide in surprise.
“That strange woman brought by His Majesty, you mean her guest?”
The maid seemed to think ‘Why on earth would you want her guest when she herself is not even here?’ However, when Ainy did not rescind her order, the maid had no choice but to grunt in agreement and head outside.
As soon as the door closed, Ainy let out a heavy sigh and tightly clutched the blanket. She would know once she saw him again. What all these strange events were.
[This is the time separator]“Black Forest came by? That’s a relief.”
Sitting across from Carlein, Latil listened to his encounter with the Black Forest, not missing a single word of the cryptic words she had told him to say.
It was a little funny that Carlein, who didn’t usually show much expression, was saying things like ‘Ice Tasir with cream’, but since it was her request, Latil managed to maintain a straight face.
“What did that mean?”
“It was a joke that Tasir had once made to me.”
“Ice Tasir?”
“Yep. He would understand right away when he heard it. No matter how well a fake imitates me, they wouldn’t know about the words I’ve exchanged with my harem.”
“I see……”
“But you really know the empress here, don’t you? She was looking at you quite fondly.”
“No.”
“I wonder if you were lovers before…”
“Absolutely not.”
When Carlein firmly denied it, Latil nodded her head in understanding.
“Anyway, once Tasir understands what I said, our side now has… three people.”
“We’re still short in numbers, aren’t we?”
“Yeah. It would be nice if we had someone on our side from the nobility too. Ranamun or Guesta.”
“What about Prince Klein?”
You should have expectations from those who can fulfill them. Latil thought of Klein, who had been looking at her and Carlein as if they were an adulterous couple, and shook her head with a smirk.
“He’s from Karisen. He’ll be treated as a set with Hyacinth.”
“……I think Sir Sonnaught might also realize who you are, Your Majesty.”
“I’ve already sent someone for him. I’m worried because I haven’t heard back yet. It’s not that I’m worried Sonnaught won’t recognize me, but I’m worried that even if he realizes I’m the real one, he might pretend not to.”
“I thought you trusted Sir Sonnaught.”
“I do. But originally, Sir Sonnaught was closer to my brother.”
Just as they were having this conversation, someone knocked on the door.
When Carlein got up to open the door, there was one of the maids who had driven Latil away earlier.
The maid, who was standing there with a look on her face as if to say ‘Why do I have to be here?’, gave a cold directive upon meeting Carlein’s bland gaze.
“The empress commands it. Follow me immediately.”
[This is the time separator]Carlein was about to close the door right away, but Latil quickly approached and sent him off with a smile before the door closed in front of the maid’s nose.
“We’re in the middle of being careful.”
She whispered very softly and poked him in the ribs. Unable to refuse, Carlein followed the maid to the room where Ainy was waiting.
Ainy was leaning on the sofa in the reception room, and when the maid brought Carlein, she slowly got up from her seat.
The maids seemed worried about leaving an unknown man alone with Ainy, but Ainy had them all leave the room.
As the door closed, Carlein calmly greeted Ainy and asked.
“What did you call me for?”
Aini came out from between the sofa and the table, approaching Carlein who stood directly in front of her. As soon as she saw his face, she was certain. It was indeed this man. The man she had seen in her dreams.
“Your Majesty the Empress, please speak.”
Even his voice was familiar. Of course, the voice she heard in her dream was much more affectionate than this.
With trembling eyes, Aini carefully asked him.
“Could it be… do we know each other?”

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.
