“Your Majesty thinks there’s a chance Latil could be the Lord?”
“Yes. It’s regrettable that my brother ended up like this, but it can’t be helped. I am a royal who has to protect this country. I can’t kill everyone in the world to save my brother.”
“……”
“My brother would have done the same if he were in my position. He’s a smart kid.”
Listening to Rean’s voice, Sonnaught lowered his eyes. Rean looked at Sonnaught’s feet in return. There wasn’t much to see. So, he must be upset with the current situation. Rean clicked his tongue.
“I know. How highly you regard Latil. But Sonnaught.”
“Yes.”
“My father was also worried about Latil. He even ordered an investigation, you know that. No, you would know without me telling you, wouldn’t you? That father was worried about Latil.”
Rean sighed in the middle of his speech.
“Indeed. Father did that. Back then, you opposed father investigating Latil. You said Latil would be hurt if she found out.”
“……I’m worried that she might be hurt now.”
Sonnaught, who had returned from the territory, asked the Emperor during his report, ‘Who is it?’
Rean, who was there just in case, explained everything after asking the false Emperor to step aside for a moment. This was because he did not want to quarrel with Sonnaught, who was his childhood friend, over this matter.
However, after explaining everything, Sonnaught still seemed dissatisfied. Rean felt pain in his heart.
“Sonnaught. If it’s confirmed that Latil is not the Lord, I will naturally return everything to its place. If Latil is the Lord, then she is no longer Latil, and if she’s not the Lord, then Latil is my sister.”
“……”
“I’d like you to help me. If you continue to carry out your duties as an Imperial Knight, the number of people who will suspect the fake will decrease.”
Listening to Rean’s sincere words, Sonnaught silently kept looking down at his feet, then sighed deeply and lifted his head. A determined expression.
Rean watched his friend with anticipation.
“Understood. Let’s do that.”
As soon as he got the answer he wanted, Rean hugged his friend’s shoulder tightly, smiled widely, and patted his back.
“You made a good decision. Thank you.”
“It’s for the Empress, not for you.”
Despite Sonnaught’s harsh words, Rean just smiled and patted his back.
“Then who is the fake Emperor?”
“Hmm. I’ll keep that a secret.”
“Even if it’s fake, it’s someone I have to serve. It’s going to be tough if I don’t have any information.”
“That’s fine. You just do as you have been doing. They’ll follow along well.”
“……Yes.”
“You just arrived, didn’t you? You must be tired, and I’m sorry to add heavy news on top of that. Go and rest.”
As Rean patted Sonnaught’s back and laughed, Sonnaught bowed once more before exiting the room.
Rean waved goodbye with one hand while leaning back with the other. Once the door was completely closed and Sonnaught was out of sight, he walked tiredly to the sofa, closed his eyes, and leaned his head back on the backrest.
“Latil, are you eating properly…… Why can’t you just come to the temple quietly? Hmm?”
[This is the time separator]Instead of returning to the Knights’ dormitory, Sonnaught immediately left the palace and headed to a bar he often visited when he had a headache.
“The usual.”
But after ordering alcohol and snacks and taking a seat in the corner, the waiter brought him a cup of water, a plate with hard bread, and a small note.
Holding the note, Sonnaught looked at the waiter, but the waiter didn’t even look at him and quickly went elsewhere.
‘Is it Her Majesty?’
Sonnaught quickly opened the note. But it wasn’t. The person who wrote the note was Sousran, a member of the Imperial Guard. However, the content left was related to Latil.
Knight Sonnaught, the current Emperor is fake. I will tell you the details when we meet. I will wait for you every midnight near the large tree next to the west gate until you come.
Sonnaught checked the time.
[This is the time separator]That night.
After wandering around deliberately to kill time, Sonnaught left for the west gate about an hour earlier than the promised time.
Walking out of the west gate and walking for about 10 minutes, you can see a large water wheel turning with a noisy sound. There were many large trees around, but it seemed that Sonnaught hadn’t arrived yet as there was no one there.
After looking around, Sonnaught decided to go into the building used by the water wheel manager, thinking that if he kept standing here, people passing by might find it suspicious. He planned to wait for Hyacinth there.
The office, quiet with no signs of life, emitted an eerie ‘creak’ as Sonnaught opened the wooden door.
Upon entering, Sonnaught closed the door and glanced around to see if there was anything he could use as a lamp.
Then, he found something and fixed his gaze on one spot. Almost simultaneously, two lamps lit up in the vicinity.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
