‘Have you been abandoned?’
At that moment, Bianca had the illusion that she heard another Duke’s voice.
“Madam, you are now the mistress of the northern territory, so your home is the north surrounded by ice walls.”
At the end of his words, the Duke extended his hand as if asking for an escort.
His golden eyes, visible between his softly curving eyes, shone unbelievably sweetly.
As if looking at something lovely, the Duke’s expression made Bianca momentarily breathless.
My goodness.
If that’s a face made to deceive people, it’s tremendous.
She knows exactly what their relationship is, yet her heart is moved.
No, because she’s happy to follow him in a moment, even though there is no other choice left but to marry him.
“May I escort you?”
Bianca extended her hand to the Duke, who had fixed his eyes on her.
“…Please take me.”
“Of course. I was just waiting for that word, madam.”
With the strong grip of his hand, Bianca tightly closed her eyes.
It should have been terrible, but his hand was unbelievably warm.
There was no dignity anywhere in the emperor, who looked anxiously lurking.
The Emperor, Ecliff, clutched his head and groaned.
How had this happened? He couldn’t understand.
The only clear thing was that Sylas Barlock and Ecliff de Termina could not coexist.
Hadn’t he been constantly compared, even though he was the highest under this sky, simply because he was born in the same era as him?
“How dare you!”
The gaze that looked at him as something lacking.
The insolent remarks that casually insulted him, calling him a lucky one who had the excellent Barlock as his retainer.
Moment by moment, Ecliff felt an unbearable sense of humiliation, thinking that this Emperor of Termina was not himself but exactly like Sylas Barlock.
Ecliff leaned forward in his chair as he had been pacing.
As he closed his eyes, that very day when all this madness began appeared vividly, as if it were real.
‘The harvest will soon begin, won’t it?’
It was by chance that the view outside the window caught his eye as he was wrapping up the regular meeting.
The stinging but waned heat of the sun, and the sky that had unexpectedly grown high.
The short summer of Termina was passing by.
In the northern hemisphere, the Termina Empire’s farming and harvesting end by midSeptember.
That meant a fullfledged winter from October.
From October until the next March, Termina faces a long, long winter.
Less than the northern borderlands abutting the ice wall, but it’s a fierce cold.
No matter how much you experience it, you never get used to it.
The halfyear you must live in dread already feels terrible.
Ecliff, shivering at the thought of the impending cold, suddenly thought of a little amusement to brighten the long and boring winter days.
It was a banquet.
The youngest princess had come of age this spring, so it was time to find her a match.
It would be a joyous occasion for those who must endure the dark and cold winter.
The reason was more than enough.
‘Let’s hold a grand banquet in November. After all, the princess has come of age, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find her a good match on this occasion.’
At the refreshing emperor’s suggestion to endure the long winter with excitement and memories, everyone’s eyes sparkled.
‘Then, let’s pick a good day and I shall……’
In the middle of continuing happily, Silerus Barlock suddenly raised an objection.
‘Please reconsider, Your Majesty the Emperor.’
As always, his speech was precise, his expression supremely respectful.
‘November is already after the start of severe cold. It is also the time when the monsters beyond the ice wall spread their wings. If you hold a banquet at that time, you will attract ridicule.’
With cool eyes and confident tone.
Because of the Duke Barlock who always argued with a ‘reasonable’ reason, he had to endure the ridicule of being an ‘idiotic’ emperor.
Is that loyalty?
The anger he had pent up all his life exploded right then.
‘Insolent! Do you think I don’t know what the empire’s winter is like? How dare you, Duke, oppose my opinion!’
“Sigh…….”
What’s the use of looking back?
Ecliff furiously rubbed his face with his hand.
Silerus was no longer in this world.
All that was left was Gillian Barlock, who had driven Silerus into a corner, and now he was here in this royal palace.
“Chamberlain!”
Another Barlock.
As soon as he thought of Gillian, the anxious Ecliff yelled towards the outside.
“Chamberlain! How is the princess?”
The lowering of the drawbridge to the royal palace to welcome Barlock’s party was a matter of an hour ago.
Even if he had taken the time to escort him to the audience chamber and serve tea, by now he should have met the princess and have time to spare.
If he had met the princess, there should have been some news, so why was it so quiet?
Surely, this useless one isn’t running late because of makeup or something, right?
His irritation built up with each nagging question.
“Chamberlain!”
Today, the chamberlain was also late.
Just as Ecliff, unable to wait, was about to open the door to his office.
Bang!
With a deafening noise, a vibration shook beneath his feet as if the earth itself had moved.
“Wh…What?”
In his astonishment, Ecliff’s wideopen eyes saw a gray cloud rising from Bianca’s Rosebena Palace, where the audience chamber was.
As the dense cloud spread, chills ran down his spine and his teeth involuntarily chattered.
“Ch, ch, chamberlain!”
With all his might, he called the chamberlain again, but this time there was no one coming to Ecliff.
Only then did Ecliff realize.
Originally, not only was the knight who had been guarding the office entrance nowhere to be seen, but there was also no sign of life in the palace where he was.
“Is there… no one?”
Asking an entirely empty corridor was a very chilling thing to do, but Ecliff couldn’t close his mouth.
Otherwise, he felt like he would finally turn his head from the pressure he had been feeling from behind since earlier.
Instinct was whispering.
‘Never look back.’
“Is there no one?”
It was when Ecliff opened his mouth again.
“Gillian Barlock is here, Your Majesty.”
An unfamiliar yet all too familiar voice rang out from behind.
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?”
