Having followed his merchant father from a young age and engaged in commerce, Bake was good at trading, and more than anything, he was the son of the empire’s most massive tycoon.
The empire’s money would have passed through Creighton more than once. This wasn’t a joke for nothing.
Currently, Creighton was the wealthiest family in the empire.
“There are many others who want Creighton besides me.”
“And, that would be the problem.”
The emperor’s eyes slightly widened and then gently drew a line.
I stared at the emperor quietly.
Although he seemed composed, according to what I heard, the emperor’s situation was not very good.
Because he always had a label following him.
The successor. Premature birth. And, the bastard.
The emperor, born from the womb of a young empress brought in late by the aged emperor, was the only son of the emperor, but when he first saw the light of the world, his father was already asleep in the tomb.
So the emperor was born as the successor, and he grew up amidst people’s suspicions.
It was doubtful how the old emperor could have a child, but more than anything, he was too healthy despite being born prematurely.
But that was just a rumor, and no one could say it out loud.
If the emperor was not premature, it meant that he was conceived when the emperor fell ill, and eventually it was a matter of doubting the emperor’s bloodline.
I took a deep breath slowly and released my hand.
It was fortunate that I wore gloves.
Otherwise, the marks of my nails would have been visible on the back of my hand.
“I’m not interested in rumors circulating in the world. I’m even less interested in talking about it.”
“So?”
“If you listen to my request, Creighton won’t do anything in the future.”
“Nothing at all?”
“Yes. Nothing at all.”
“Hmm, I didn’t think of that at all.”
The emperor stroked his chin and nodded.
“I don’t think it’s a bad suggestion.”
“Do you really think so?”
“There must be a reason why Your Majesty pushes the nobles’ backs.”
Even though he smiled brightly, I didn’t think he was really smiling.
I knew how he could sit in his current position.
He wasn’t a man who moved out of pure curiosity.
The uglier the rumor, the faster it spreads, but it was too fast.
It was hard to think that there was no pressure to spread the rumor surrounding Duke Pieren and me.
“I don’t know who is helping my husband.”
“Isn’t it pretending not to know?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m not interested in rumors.”
The rumors about the emperor did not end there.
The son of the former emperor was not just one emperor.
The empress’s child was one emperor, but from the concubines, there were as many as five children.
Among them, three daughters were married to decent families, but the two sons were different.
They thought that it would be a worthwhile fight to face a halfbrother with an unclear bloodline, and eventually, a bloody wind blew.
“I thought it was not ordinary, but it’s beyond imagination.”
The emperor laughed loudly and shook his head.
The hair fluttering above his straight forehead was red.
Like the blood that the man had shed and would continue to shed to be called the emperor.
‘Looking at that reaction, he’s probably still alive.’
The emperor won, but he still lived in rumors.
The emperor missed one of his two brothers, and there was a story that the escaped one had the real will of the former emperor.
But whether the rumor was true or not was not important.
In the first place, I didn’t care who became the emperor.
I only wanted one thing.
“Okay. The Countess of Creighton. You have succeeded in catching my interest.”
“It is an honor to be favorably viewed.”
“I’ll decide whether I really look at you favorably after hearing the suggestion you make. So, what do you want from me?”
“I would like you to help me regain what is mine.”
The brand of traitor placed on my father also passed on to me.
Since marrying Bake, I had to withdraw from all matters of the family, and apart from the name of Creighton, I couldn’t have anything.
But that was a promise with the former emperor.
He was dead, and a new emperor stood before me.
There was a need to pour new wine into a new wineskin to suit him.
“Are you going to divorce then?”
“……”
“You’re not planning to take everything you want and dump the man living with another woman that you don’t like, right?”
I wondered how much the emperor really knew about me.
With my eyes closed, I pretended not to know the man who was making a fuss as if he knew everything.
“I will not divorce.”
“That’s a very disappointing answer. In fact, I was hoping for a bit too. Wishing for the start of the love of the century.”
The emperor put one hand on his chest and made a sad face, but there was no chance that he would be expecting a reunion with a pure heart.
The goal was only to put Creighton under me through marriage with his aide.
Marriage was a perfect union, and at the same time a great deal.
There was no way that I, who stood at the peak of this story known to all the nobles, didn’t know.
“Of course, I’m curious separately. I wonder what the intention is to hold on to a husband who’s going to cut off his hands and feet and lose his nutrition.”
“There’s no particular meaning.”
“There’s no meaning. If you’re not going to divorce, it would be the end if you just execute his mistress.”
The emperor’s words were correct.
For now, dealing with Margaret was the simplest and easiest thing.
However, I had a question while looking at Beike, who broke the promise with me so indifferently.
I swallowed slowly.
“Is that really the end?”
“……”
Would it really be the end to clean up Margaret?
No. It won’t be. Women can appear at any time, and the same thing will happen again.
And there might come a time when Meriel, who is gradually growing up, realizes it.
I chewed on the face of my young daughter and took a slow breath.
I lost my husband, but I had to protect the father my child loved.
And to do so, I had to take everything that Beike had.
Because I had already learned through a long experience.
To make the opponent choose what I want, I just need to take everything away and give only one choice.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
