“If things had gone wrong, all the nobles of Karisen could have been wiped out. I thought it would be better to express my gratitude personally rather than sending an envoy.”

Hyacinth, who was carrying on the conversation appropriately, finally brought the conversation around to the planned topic of ‘Sadi’.

“Miss Sadi was amazing. Even when everyone was afraid of the zombie, she alone rushed forward without hesitation to face the dead prince.”

“Was it really the dead prince?”

“Everyone in that place saw it. Even after the job was done, Miss Sadi was great. However, she is too modest and keeps hiding her merits. There are too many witnesses, so it’s not something that can be hidden.”

The imposter seemed more interested in the dead prince than ‘Sadi’, which almost diverted the conversation, but Hyacinth forcibly brought the topic back to Sadi.

And just when he was about to say that he brought Sadi.

Latil was also preparing to step forward with a deep breath, but Lean changed the topic again.

“Is Empress Aini all right? I heard that the person who turned into a zombie was a close friend of Empress Aini.”

Hyacinth paused momentarily as he was about to say that he had brought Sadi, but soon mixed his response and brought Sadi back into the topic.

“Thanks to Miss Sadi, she is safe.”

“Empress Aini is also remarkable. I’ve heard that she has been talking about the dead Prince Hewm from before. It’s clever of her to notice the strange currents first.”

But again, when Lean turned the topic to Aini, Hyacinth ignored his question and brought up the topic of Sadi directly.

“I brought Miss Sadi.”

By this point, anyone would have noticed that Hyacinth wanted to keep talking about Sadi.

Because of this? Lean also pointed out that point with a smile.

“I want to talk about the black magicrelated incident now. It’s more important.”

Thinking that it would be difficult to introduce herself naturally, Latil just trudged to the center.

“I’m Sadi.”

Introducing herself. Her appearance was a bit awkward than planned, but Lean kept trying to bury the story of Sadi, so she had no choice.

People who were focused on the conversation between Emperor Hyacinth and Prince Lean were startled when Sadi herself suddenly popped out and began to mutter.

“That woman came out even though she wasn’t called.”

“Wasn’t she being humble? She said she wouldn’t show off her merit.”

“She’s trying to appeal to herself a lot……”

Latil felt embarrassed, but she looked at Lean while holding back. Hyacinth quickly added a word from the side.

“It’s Miss Sadi.”

However, Lean unexpectedly rolled over this time. Instead of questioning whether Sadi was really Latil’s special envoy, he scolded her outright.

“That’s disrespectful. Go in. We’re not talking about you right now.”

She was planning to corner Lean after answering a few questions. She’s really doing everything her own way, isn’t she? Latil cursed in her heart.

But she didn’t go in. Although things were not going as planned, it was an opportunity she had finally caught and she couldn’t let it slip away.

Instead, Latil ‘ha ha ha’ laughed out loud and asked in a mocking tone.

“You don’t like meeting new people, Prince Lean. Are you doing that because you feel guilty?”

Then, before the shout of ‘how rude’ could be heard, she swished her cloak to the side abruptly. She intended to dramatically reveal herself as the cloak flew aside like it was carried by the wind.

‘Damn it.’

But the cloak did not fly off. It merely fluttered once and returned to its original place.

Cursing in her mind, Latil thought even her cloak wouldn’t listen to her now.

“You’re really trying to impress yourself, aren’t you?”

“To create a wind effect on your own. Aren’t you embarrassed……?”

“What kind of production is this?”

As the people whispered more, Lean furrowed her brows, casting away doubt. She thought, ‘What is this idiot doing?’ She was indeed a fake.

As the embarrassed Latil thought about retreating inside, Carlein, who had quietly come up next to her, slowly took off Latil’s cloak for her.

At the peak of her embarrassment, Latil wanted to scream ‘It’s not yet time!’, but his hand had already reached the hat, so she had no choice but to remain silent. She could only clench her lips and strain her eyes.

Since she had already removed her mask, once the cloak was removed, Latil’s face was revealed.

When her face was completely revealed, the people stopped their chatter. Their faces turned to shock. Their eyes widened, and their lips opened even wider. Their gazes flitted between Latil and the fake emperor.

The rumor ‘that the black magician entered the palace pretending to be the emperor’ was known by everyone, but among those who heard the rumor, few had actually seen Latil. They had only heard of her.

So they were even more startled when they saw two identical emperors standing in front of them.

Lean stared down at Latil with a hardened expression.

To forget her earlier embarrassment, Latil called the chief justice with a serious expression.

“Chief Justice!”
