Latil shook her head.
“It’s hard to believe that. If they were the assassins, they would have just stayed quiet. They would have been buried, why would they need to reveal their existence to me?”
Not just revealing, but desecrating tombs, writing letters saying ‘the emperor died because of you’, sending fake culprits, all of it was incredulous. Why would they, surrounded by enemies, engage in such actions?
“So they’re not related to the assassins of your Majesty?”
“I can’t be certain about that either. There are crazy people who enjoy spreading rumors about their own evil deeds. Well, they were annihilated once, so they might be trying to signal ‘We’re back!’ or something like that…”
Thinking about various directions simultaneously only made it harder to find an answer.
‘There’s a separate assassin, and they joined hands with the black magicians? No, they mentioned the name Tilla. Could Tilla have joined hands with the black magicians? Did Tilla kill the regent and mistook me for revenge… No, Tilla is dead.’
Moreover, even if they were on bad terms, Tilla would have known that it would have been beneficial for Latil if her father lived longer and she stayed a princess for a longer time.
Even though they were on bad terms, Latil did not think that Tilla was so foolish as to not know that.
‘So who could it be?’
Although the chief steward and the others offered various opinions, none seemed right. She had ordered to find the culprit, but Latil instinctively felt it. That they would not be able to catch the culprit.
Just by looking at the fact that they waited for her to come out of the capital and killed in a secluded area, she could tell that the other party’s preparation was thorough.
“For now,”
When Latil, who had been thinking for a while, opened her mouth again, the chief steward and others stopped discussing their investigation directions and looked at her.
“I think we need to summon the regent. The enemies killed the high priest because they wanted to prevent that. We need to do what they were trying to prevent.”
“You’re right.”
Although the chief steward agreed with Latil’s words, he asked worriedly.
“But the high priest said, nobody knows the location of the regent……”
“We don’t know.”
“?”
“But the regent himself will know.”
“You mean… your Majesty?”
“Have Latrasil, the Emperor, invite the regent. Make it completely public.”
The others asked in surprise.
“Then wouldn’t the one who killed the high priest target your Majesty?”
Latil snickered and leaned back on her chair.
“They stole the letter I wrote, didn’t they? The culprit already knows I’m looking for the regent.”
[This is the time separator]The next day.
At Latil’s command, notices looking for the regent were posted all over the country. Fearing people’s agitation, they did not write about black magicians, curses, or assassinations, but Latil thought that someone of the regent’s level would already know that the high priest had been assassinated.
A person who thoroughly hides their identity would not completely ignore one of the few people who knew their identity.
Therefore, Latil considered the possibility that the regent might not respond to her call, choosing to protect himself.
“What about the people rumored to be black magicians? Have you caught them?”
“We haven’t found them yet.”
In such a way, while waiting for the regent and troubled over the unexpected issue of the black magician, Latil had completely forgotten about the incident a few days ago when she went to Klein’s room and came back without a word.
But Klein was still suffering from the events of that day.
[This is the time separator]After coming to the Tarium Empire, Klein had a series of unpleasant experiences.
The unlucky bastard named Ranamun made distasteful comments towards Klein. He was struck by a splash of water from the pokerfaced Guesta, whose servant didn’t even blink when his master spilled water, but the moment his master was splashed with water, he became furious and directly came to curse at him.
The precious amulet that money couldn’t buy disappeared, and because of this, the preparation of the coronation celebration was snatched by that pokerfaced man and a scoundrel.
Then, a few days ago, the Emperor came to find him, but without a word, left while he briefly went to the bathroom.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Even in Karisen, without a word, he went back to his homeland and this time too, he went back to his room without a word.
Klein’s temperament was acknowledged by everyone to be rather bad. Nevertheless, having come to a foreign country as a consort, he was suppressing and managing his temperament as best as he could.
As these unpleasant incidents accumulated, Klein’s patience grew thin to the point of snapping at anyone who would bother him.
‘Everybody should avoid touching our prince…….’
Aware of this, Klein’s servant spent each day as if walking on a tightrope at the edge of a cliff. But one day, someone eventually shook that rope.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
