“Still haven’t found her?”
The crown prince, no, now Emperor Ferus, bellowed at Prince Vapor.
Vapor, seemingly not used to treating Ferus as an emperor rather than his brother, stood stiffly with his eyes lowered and made excuses.
“How can we enter when it’s surrounded by such steep cliffs? Even magical beasts couldn’t climb them.”
“Damn it…”
The marriage between the dragon god and the princess was annulled under the emperor’s approval.
So the dragon god sent back all the knights and servants that the previous emperor had sent.
Up to that point, everything was according to plan.
The problem was that Litania, who was supposed to return to the imperial city after the divorce, had disappeared.
According to Bain, the captain of the knights stationed at the dragon city, Litania had fled this world through the ‘Gate of Farewell’, which had only been passed down as a legend in the dragon city.
According to the dragon god, she didn’t die but really crossed over to another world.
‘How can I believe that?’
It was impossible to know whether the dragon god had killed Litania and was making excuses, or if he was hiding her somewhere and pretending she was gone.
The emperor hurriedly dispatched troops back to the dragon city, but even for well-trained elite knights, it was impossible to penetrate the dragon city surrounded by towering cliffs.
Those high and solid cliffs wouldn’t crumble even if dozens of cannons were fired at once.
“We should have called her to the imperial palace and made them divorce.”
“…In my opinion, forcing the divorce was the problem in the first place.”
“What?”
Vapor flinched a little at Ferus’s sharp gaze, but he swallowed hard and continued.
“At that time, from what I saw, they seemed to be getting along well in their own way.”
At first, Vapor believed his brother’s words too.
He thought Litania was pretending to be happy out of fear of the dragon god. When Vapor briefly met Litania at the spring ball, he couldn’t find any signs of abuse on her, but he didn’t think much of it at the time.
But according to the nobles who were invited to the banquet held in the dragon city last autumn, the two really looked like a loving couple.
“There’s no way it could be fine with that monster.”
“There hasn’t been any problem so far.”
“It’ll be different from now on. There’s no way it’s good for the imperial family to maintain ties with such a thing.”
Ferus roughly ruffled his hair and mumbled with dark eyes.
“It was never good.”
The strange dream that had been haunting him since he first became aware of the dragon god’s existence.
At first, he thought it was an illusion created by the pressure of facing the existence of a supreme dragon, but that eerie feeling didn’t disappear for a long time even after waking up.
Litania, the beloved princess; Litania, the despised princess; Litania, the lowly country girl who grew up outside the palace and was suddenly brought in one day.
The pink-eyed girl always looked up at the crown prince with eyes full of fear and resentment.
Up to that point, he just thought she was a somewhat bothersome commoner who appeared in his dreams in different forms each time.
But after she married the dragon god in his dreams, a surprisingly similar ending repeated itself.
‘As if to show that no matter in what situation or how they meet, the end is the same.’
His siblings died, the palace burned. Ferus always had to lose his life because of that arrogant dragon god.
As the dreams repeated, it brought about a strange conviction.
The conviction that if Litania and Orbis were kept together, it would eventually be the end of them too.
There was certainly no evidence for it. However, if there was even the slightest possibility that the recurring dreams could become reality, it had to be avoided at all costs.
‘Because in my dreams, those two never divorced.’
He had to walk a path he hadn’t taken before. To survive.
Vapor, listening to Ferus’s story, spoke as if he couldn’t understand.
“That’s just Your Majesty’s imagination, isn’t it? I didn’t know you were so fearful.”
It was the third prince, Vapor, who used to be called a coward. He was afraid of blood and unskilled in both swordsmanship and archery. Probably the first to meet death if he went to the battlefield.
So Vapor thought he was the weakest among his siblings.
But as it turned out, it seemed that his brother Ferus was the most mentally weak.
“You don’t understand.”
“Of course I don’t. That’s why I’m telling you.”
“Do you know why the late emperor married those two?”
“Well… Because the dragon god made it rain in response to Princess Litania’s prayer during the rain ritual. I suppose he expected to be able to use the dragon god’s power differently, like at that time.”
“If you know that much, this will be quick.”
“Pardon?”
“The dragon god’s value for use is gone.”
[This is the timeline separator]The previous emperor wanted to make the dragon god Orbis not just a symbolic guardian of the empire, but an actual being that protected the empire.
After receiving information about the dragon city through the stationed knights, he ordered the knights to persuade the dragon to move according to the emperor’s will, but the knights reported that they couldn’t even meet the dragon.
The previous emperor was discouraged upon receiving the report, but it was only for a moment. At some point, he began to receive news that the dragon had left its nest and was flying around, threatening other countries.
Although it had been impossible to even encounter him, let alone make requests, the dragon seemed to be protecting the empire on its own, driving away all the magical beasts in the vicinity and flying over the territories of other countries, threatening them.
At first, the emperor and his ministers cheered. Saying there was nothing more beneficial than the dragon god protecting the empire on its own.
However, as the dragon god’s actions continued, they gradually felt uneasy.
They couldn’t stop the dragon god.
‘The dragon god is uncontrollable!’
This very obvious proposition belatedly drove them into anxiety.
The word “uncontrollable,” which they hadn’t recognized when the dragon god was just staying in the dragon’s nest and neglecting the empire, became the biggest threat when he started coming out.
As the stack of appeals from other countries asking for measures to prevent the dragon god from flying over their territories piled up on the desk, the emperor’s worries deepened.
Ferus, who was still the crown prince at the time, was often called to the emperor’s audience chamber to listen to his lamentations.
They could divorce them.
However, the emperor was afraid of that. The embarrassment of going back on his word was a minor reason.
He was worried that after divorcing the two, the dragon god might threaten the imperial palace.
The emperor weakly uttered those words, and the crown prince felt irritation rising.
What was that monster, after all.
The first emperor who made that monster the guardian deity of the empire must have been not smart, but stupid.
Because they had used the monster as a guardian deity to keep other countries in check, now they were receiving resentment from other countries due to the uncontrollable dragon god.
Ferus, who had died many times in his dreams, was not afraid.
The emperor, who was inwardly displeased with the crown prince, finally abdicated to him and then fell ill, dying not long after.
The knights who had been sent to the dragon city were summoned back to the imperial palace in the middle of the funeral, which was being held in a chaotic atmosphere.
Not only were Ferus and the people of the imperial palace surprised, but so were the summoned knights and servants.
The knights were busy spouting nonsense about people turning into animals or pillars of fire rising from the lake.
After imprisoning those who seemed to have mental problems, they sent a messenger to the dragon’s nest, only to find it already surrounded by high cliffs.
The connection between the imperial family and the dragon god had been completely severed.
[This is the timeline separator]“We shouldn’t have relied on it from the beginning. Now we have to build the empire with our own strength.”
“But Your Majesty. Then there’s no reason to keep sending knights to the dragon city, is there?”
“…We need to confirm.”
Whether Litania was dead or alive, whether she was still by Orbis’s side or not.
He needed to know if the terrible future from his dreams would repeat itself again.
And.
‘…In my dreams, I was the one who first tried to send her to that monster.’
Because it was something he started, he wanted to end it with his own hands.
That was all.
[This is the timeline separator]Ria, typing on the keyboard, suddenly felt her shoulders stiffen and stretched.
“Ah. This is surprisingly difficult.”
Ria had started writing Orbis and Litania’s story as a novel and uploading it to a serialization site.
She thought she could just write down the one-year record like a diary, but as she started writing the story, she found many parts that didn’t connect.
– The rabbit is supposed to be the dragon’s subordinate, so why is it suddenly rebelling?
“Right. I thought that was strange too.”
Ria shrugged her shoulders while reading the comments on the novel.
“Snow was loyal enough to serve me, who had been empty for 19 years, so why did his relationship with Orbis suddenly go bad?”
The dragon’s minions can never disobey the dragon. According to her memory, that was an absolute rule.
But why did Snow criticize Orbis until his tongue was cut out, and passionately argue that he should respect Litania?
‘Actually, there were a few strange things before that too.’
There were several times when Snow, injured from somewhere, visited Hazel with a band-aid on his mouth.
At that time, she was just worried about the fact that Snow was hurt, but it’s unlikely that someone as thorough and quick-acting as Snow would be clumsy enough to get hurt.
Orbis must have injured him.
“He was bad…”
Ria shuddered as she recalled the memories of that time.
At that time, Orbis was truly scary and terrible.
But now.
‘In that place that has become ruins, what is Orbis doing?’
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
