“No, has this brother gone crazy? Why did he pull mom’s hair?” In the moment when Latil was flabbergasted and agape, the false emperor’s hair was swept to the side.

‘Wig?’

Mother’s hair had been a wig. People gasped simultaneously.

Then, the moment the wig was removed, the face identical to Latil’s transformed into the face of the empress, and a louder gasp erupted.

At first, silence followed the gasp, but now the whispering grew louder.

The nearsighted nobles stretched their necks like a school of goldfish desperately opening their mouths for food on the surface of the water, to verify whether Shait was really Shait.

Hyacinth didn’t daringly stare, but it was quite a surprise.

‘Since I deliberately didn’t mention that the false emperor was mother.’

Latil held her throbbing forehead. She was angry at her brother. What on earth was this about? Her eyes naturally turned to Léan.

Latil looked bitterly at her brother. She had intended not to reveal that mother was involved in this. Although mother was also an accomplice, it was her brother who involved mother.

Even if she could not go back to being as close to her mother as before, she intended to cover and pass over mother’s involvement. She thought her brother would be the same.

Although they were no longer close siblings, she believed their feelings for their mother were the same. Because mother was mother. But then for her brother to go this far…

“Wow, would you look at what my brother is saying?”

When Latil muttered with her arms folded, the gaze of the people gathered on Latil. Everyone closed their mouths and fell silent, curious about what Latil would say.

This place was like the deep sea. It was filled with numerous lives, but it was dark, quiet, and gloomy.

“Why are you blaming mom after you’ve led everything?”

Latil openly sneered. A few people thoughtlessly whispered ‘She’s talking like an emperor!’, nearly breaking the mood, but Latil didn’t relax her glare.

Léan, looking at the wig he had stripped off their mother, likely a magic transforming item, muttered towards Latil.

“Latil. You’re angry at me. …That’s natural.”

“Wouldn’t you be angry if you were in my shoes? I… have been chased around as a fake emperor, an XX. I asked for help in another country.”

And even impersonated a statue. Even had her skirt ripped off at a party. Latil fanned herself as she sighed. But let’s not mention that.

“And now I’ve gathered the ministers to openly fight with my brother. Wouldn’t I be angry? Huh?”

“Latil. You can’t get angry at mother, so you want to blame me?”

“What I want to blame is your conscience, brother.”

Léan sighed. Then he looked sadly at the wig he was holding and laughed.

“I’ve told you the truth.”

“When did you?”

“But you ran away because you couldn’t tarnish mother’s reputation.”

“When did I?”

“And now you’re trying to blame everything on me. Did you go the long way around instead of the easy way back to protect mother and abandon me?”

“What nonsense.”

The more they talked, the more ridiculous it became. Latil raised an eyebrow and laughed sarcastically. The fake hair in Léan’s hand hung like a jellyfish pulled from the sea.

“From the start, you were the one who involved mom. It was you who brought her into this from the temple where she was living.”

Instead of responding to Latil’s words, Léan looked around at the assembled ministers and opened his mouth.

“You must all be surprised. But my sister knew all about this, that the culprit was mother. If Latil didn’t know about this, she would have been the most surprised when I revealed that mother was the real culprit. But you all saw it. My sister didn’t get surprised. She got angry with me.”

“!”

What? Latil widened her eyes and glared at her brother. He had been quiet all along, but then he suddenly took off the wig publicly. So, this was his plan from the beginning.

When Emperor Hyacinth found out that I had defeated the zombies in another country, he realized that sooner or later, they would be pushed back, so they deliberately did this.

‘In the meantime, calculate quickly!’

Latil clenched her fist tightly. They said she was smart, but her cunning was the best.

“Mother is the culprit? Yes, I knew. But I didn’t step back to cover it up for my brother and protect my mother, but because my brother was trying to catch me and lock me up, I had to step back.”

“Even if I get involved in such a thing to protect my brother from my mother, I’m not innocent either. But Latil. I didn’t know you would cover up everything for me.”

Leann murmured in a very disappointed voice.

Latil nearly shouted “Nonsense!” She had already chewed up her dignity as an emperor while fighting with her brother in front of her vassals. It was not good to lose her temper and yell.

Even now, Leann was responding as calmly and calmly as possible. With a pitiful and sad expression.

Then.

“Both of you, stop fighting.”

Shayte, who had been silently watching the situation without any change in her expression after her original form was revealed, finally opened her mouth.
