Thud. Plop.
Joshua’s eyes, which had been powerlessly watching his mother’s execution, suddenly widened. He was soon overwhelmed with shock and screamed.
“……Aaaaah!”
The knights who had just dragged Patricia to the guillotine now walked towards Joshua.
“Don’t come closer! Don’t come this way! I said go away!”
He retreated on his knees, but there was nowhere to go.
As he was calculating the distance to the ground from the edge of the platform, the knights finally approached him.
The same method as his mother just now wouldn’t work.
Having seen the precedent, Joshua thought he had to persuade the knights in a different way.
“Help me. If you do, I will surely reward you…!”
“Enough with the nonsense.”
However, the knights grabbed both his arms and snickered among themselves as if they had heard an amusing story.
In the end, Joshua was also dragged to the guillotine, just like his mother Patricia a moment ago.
Tears streamed endlessly from Joshua’s eyes.
Perhaps all the tears he had shed in his lifetime combined would not be as much as this.
“Hick……”
Joshua trembled as he raised his head to look up. The sunlight reflected on the sharp metal blinded his retinas.
When he squinted from the brightness, the executioner standing next to the guillotine cut the rope connected to the metal blade.
And then…
“The Crown Prince is dead! The lying Crown Prince who deceived everyone by claiming to be heaven-sent is dead!”
Waaaaah!
Once again, a great cheer erupted in the square.
Accordingly, a deep fear spread across the face of Marquis Antares, who was waiting for his turn next.
[This is the timeline separator]From the Grand Temple to the square, and from the square to the Imperial Palace. It wasn’t a very long distance.
But due to the crowds that poured out onto the streets to see the new Emperor’s coronation and the execution of the deposed Empress and Crown Prince, it took considerable time to move.
When Jieselgrante arrived at the Imperial Palace, the sun had already set.
‘I’m already tired…’
Her gaze, which had been directed at the sky through the window, briefly turned to the sofa.
The sensation of softly embracing her back while firmly supporting it would surely take her to paradise.
Perhaps that’s why?
It was as if the sofa was beckoning her to come, saying it would embrace her comfortably.
‘It must be soft…? Yes, it will be incredibly soft…’
While thinking such thoughts in her head, her two legs difficultly passed by the sofa and moved towards the dressing room.
There was no time to rest if she wanted to attend the upcoming banquet.
First, she had to change her dress, then switch to shoes and accessories that would match the dress, and also touch up her makeup.
Inside the dressing room, the daughter of Count Greykin and the daughter of Marquis Howard were already waiting for Jieselgrante.
“Welcome!”
The daughter of Count Greykin, who had greeted her brightly, soon read Jieselgrante’s tired appearance and offered her the sofa seat in the center of the dressing room.
“You must be tired. Why don’t you rest a little?”
“Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine.”
Jieselgrante smiled faintly and stood in front of the full-length mirror.
The daughter of Count Greykin, who had been looking at Jieselgrante with pitying eyes, soon helped her change.
As she neatly arranged Jieselgrante’s dress worn during the coronation, the daughter of Marquis Howard asked.
“So, how was it, the coronation?”
“Hmm……”
Unable to ignore the sparkling eyes of the daughter of Marquis Howard filled with anticipation, Jieselgrante recounted the events of the coronation in quite some detail.
When she finished speaking, the daughter of Marquis Howard pouted her lips.
“It’s really a shame. To miss a coronation that might happen only once in a lifetime……”
It was the first major event since Jieselgrante started staying at the Imperial Palace as Cabelased’s fiancée.
As such, both the daughter of Marquis Howard and the daughter of Count Greykin were visibly quite excited.
‘It would have been even better if the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer was here too.’
After deciding to stay at the Imperial Palace, Jieselgrante first decided to bring in ladies-in-waiting.
So, in the presence of the daughter of Marquis Howard and the daughter of Count Greykin, she asked them to become her ladies-in-waiting.
At that time, the two happily accepted her proposal.
Afterwards, Jieselgrante also asked the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer to become her lady-in-waiting.
The daughter of Baron Oppenheimer, who had been staring blankly at her face with surprised eyes, quickly wrote on parchment.
“Duke Amaterasu’s daughter will soon become the Empress. That means you’re asking me to become the Empress’s lady-in-waiting……”
In the end, the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer shook her head, saying she couldn’t do it.
Saying that if a person who couldn’t speak because her tongue was cut off became the Empress’s lady-in-waiting, she would be ridiculed.
Thanks to Cabelased’s excellent intelligence, they found a possibility to treat the cut tongue.
But that doesn’t mean the cut tongue would grow back quickly like a lizard’s tail.
So it’s just that a possibility was discovered, meaning the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer’s injury might never heal forever.
But Jieselgrante’s thoughts were a little different.
Not being able to speak wasn’t much of a problem in becoming a lady-in-waiting.
Moreover, hadn’t the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer’s abilities been sufficiently proven before?
Jieselgrante fully conveyed such intentions, and only then did the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer open her heart a little.
“If Duke Amaterasu’s daughter says so… I’ll think about it a bit more. If you can give me a little more time, that is.”
So the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer expressed her intentions through writing, and Jieselgrante gladly nodded.
She said to come to her whenever she changed her mind.
“It’s done.”
While she was regretting the absence of the daughter of Baron Oppenheimer, the preparations for the banquet were also finished.
Only after putting on the necklace, earrings, and ring prepared by Cabelased as a set did Jieselgrante carefully examine her appearance in the mirror.
The dress, harmonizing black and red, exuded contrasting atmospheres of calmness and allure.
“You’re really so beautiful.”
“That’s right!”
The daughter of Count Greykin and the daughter of Marquis Howard poured out praises, and Jieselgrante lowered her gaze slightly, blushing.
“His Majesty the Emperor will fall in love again when he sees this appearance.”
“Not just His Majesty the Emperor. Anyone with eyes, no matter who…”
The two once again praised her beauty. So much that Jieselgrante could hardly raise her head.
The daughter of Count Greykin, who had been competing in compliments for quite a while, clapped her hands as if she remembered something.
“Oh, right! Would you like to see this? When I brought the banquet dress from the tailor shop, I brought this too.”
Jieselgrante carefully examined the parchment handed to her.
The parchment had drawings of wedding attire and reception dresses, with colors, fabrics, cuffs, and the ends of the dress skirts meticulously and elaborately drawn.
“How is it?”
To the daughter of Count Greykin’s question, Jieselgrante nodded slightly.
“It’s much better than what we saw last time.”
“Right? This part here……”
While Jieselgrante was putting her heads together with her ladies-in-waiting to review and discuss additional details about the wedding dress, it happened.
Knock knock.
There was a sound of someone knocking on the door. Then, Cabelased’s familiar voice rang out.
“May I come in?”
When Jieselgrante nodded, the daughter of Count Greykin, who was standing nearby, hurriedly opened the door.
Cabelased, who discovered Jieselgrante in the room, stood frozen beyond the door, looking this way. She also quietly gazed at him.
He was wearing formal attire that suited his broad shoulders and toned body without any excess fat so well.
The two remained frozen for a while, unable to take their eyes off each other immediately.
Then their eyes met. Cabelased gazed at her with deep eyes and murmured.
“It suits you very well. Beautiful. So much that I forgot to breathe for a moment……”
Cabelased walked inside without turning his eyes to any other place at all, looking straight only at Jieselgrante.
She also stared intently at his figure walking towards her.
“……”
Without even noticing the daughter of Count Greykin and the daughter of Marquis Howard carefully slipping out of the dressing room after exchanging glances with each other.
[This is the timeline separator]“His Majesty the Emperor enters!”
The attendant announced.
Soon, the murmuring inside the banquet hall significantly decreased.
In the suddenly quiet and solemn atmosphere, Emperor Cabelased, the protagonist of today’s coronation, appeared.
Beside him was his fiancée Jieselgrante. Once again, the murmuring inside the banquet hall increased.
“It seems the phrase ‘a perfect match’ was meant for these two.”
“Indeed. They truly are a well-matched couple.”
Various voices were heard, but Cabelased casually glanced over them before opening his mouth.
“Thank you for responding to the invitation.”
Following that, Cabelased’s short and concise, but by no means light in weight, congratulatory speech continued.
The nobles who nodded their heads saying it was befitting of Duke Kardia had eyes full of expectations as they looked at him.
Of course, that was natural.
The Duchy of Kardia was wealthier and more developed than any other region in the empire.
Now that such a person had come to rule the entire Paesis Empire, how could they not have expectations?
Cabelased took Jieselgrante’s hand and moved to the center of the banquet hall.
The nobles stepped aside to make way for him to pass easily.
As Jieselgrante and Cabelased took their places in the center of the banquet hall, the orchestra conductor raised his baton high.
The two bowed to each other in greeting.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
