Upon arriving at the imperial palace, Edwick immediately headed towards the emperor’s palace. It had been only a few days since he was feverish and unable to announce the emperor, but today the unfamiliarity of the route felt strangely odd.

Perhaps it was because going to announce the emperor with such a heavy heart was a first for him.

“Hoo.”

Edwick unexpectedly exhaled a heavy breath. Until he fell ill, he had been immersed in constant anguish.

He was worried about his daughter, who was hurt because of him, but what was even more confusing was the direction he should take regarding the Crown Prince’s affairs.

The day Jade returned from the territory to find out about Caliph was unforgettable. Among them, the last question Jade asked had always been stuck in his mind.

[What do you think you should do now? Will you tell Eve the truth?] [I have to think about it.] [Is it right to tell Eve the truth?]

Jade asked me that way. Whether to tell Eve the truth.

Telling the truth to Eve was not a problem. It was a story that should be told if she wanted to know.

However, what troubled Edwick was who to meet first.

[It’s about who to meet first among the three.]

He replied to Jade that way. He didn’t explicitly reveal who those three were, but judging from Jade’s unasked question, he seemed to have a rough idea. So Edwick didn’t add anything more.

However, even after that, Edwick continued to ponder. Among the three – Evelia, Caliph, and Guardo – who should he meet first in order?

The deliberation lasted quite a long time. The answer was reached this morning.

Edwick’s choice was Guardo. He hoped that everyone involved in the complex situation would not be harmed, but it seemed inevitable that Guardo would suffer deep wounds. The decision to meet Guardo first was because of that.

The situation where Caliph was pretending to be Riu Lian did not ensure Riu Lian’s safety in any way. If he were alive, he would be kidnapped and imprisoned somewhere, and if not, he would undoubtedly have lost his life.

What couldn’t be guaranteed was not only Riu Lian’s life or death. It was also impossible to know whether Caliph was the one who dealt with him or someone from the Kingdom of Elia.

Whichever is the truth, Guardo couldn’t avoid all the wounds. However, Evelia and Caliph’s situations were a bit different.

Evelia also seemed to be quite shocked by the things she had hidden until now, but regardless of which side she chose, she had someone by her side who would protect her.

If she decided to accept Caliph, he would protect her daughter, and if not, Edwick and Jade would protect her by her side.
It will take time for the wounds to heal, but at least she had someone to share the wounds with. However, it was not Guardo.

The position of the emperor was originally a lonely one. Without easily relying on someone, he had to endure it alone with his own strength.

If not, the emperor’s position, which could easily be shaken, could potentially ruin the entire empire.

Guardo, as if born to become the emperor, had admirably carried out his role so far. In other words, it meant enduring the excruciating loneliness with resilience, without easily succumbing to it.

Edwick stared at the imperial palace visible not far away without missing a gap. Suddenly, he recalled the early days when he headed there.

At that time, the empire was not as stable as it is now. In the early days of his term, when the empire was divided, with Garnet’s faction and Caroline’s faction colliding to seize power, Edwick had said such things to Guardo.

[Your Majesty, it must be tough. Your complexion darkens more and more.] [Garnet’s faction is gaining momentum and charging with fiery eyes. If it’s not hard, it would be a lie.] [If Your Majesty wishes, I will yield. As I mentioned before, I am not doing this to seize power and gain authority. So, I do not want to insist on my intentions even to the point of ensuring Your Majesty’s pain.]

Edwick sincerely conveyed his intentions. It was obvious that when power was transferred to Garnet’s faction, the empire would inevitably turn into a world for the nobility. The inside of his mouth felt dry when thinking about the imperial citizens who would be oppressed, but letting go of his hand would not turn the world into one where the imperial citizens could not live.

The empire had to exist for power to exist. Even if it became a world for Garnet’s faction, it would not be so poorly managed that the imperial citizens could not endure.

But Guardo was different. If Edwick did not yield, Guardo seemed to wither and die under Garnet’s faction’s oppression.

Not only the darkening complexion day by day but also the declining figure indicated that. So Edwick had no choice but to say that. However, even after hearing those words, Guardo firmly shook his head.

[No. You must never yield. If you can say such things to me, all the more you must not yield to your intentions.] [Your Majesty, but…]

Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…

Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.

Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.

The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”

When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
