Where Sephia, accompanied by a maid, headed, there was a wooden maze.
The Emperor’s personal attendant greeted Sephia at its entrance.
“Empress, this way, please.”
She followed the attendant into the wooden labyrinth.
The scent of roses mixed with the aroma of tea.
In the center, hidden by the maze, was a white circular table, and beyond it sat a beautiful man.
His silver hair cascading as he moved his head.
White skin and crimson eyes created a sensitive yet exquisite harmony.
The first and most beautiful man of the Therian Empire.
Deimos Baroque Drodian.

He was of the great divine beast lineage.
“Welcome.”
His ruby-like red eyes focused on Sephia.
His hair and eye color remained the same, but his appearance was colder than in childhood. However, the fact that he was Sephia’s precious childhood friend remained unchanged.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
She greeted him formally and sat in the chair the maid had pulled out for her.
The table was already set with an impressive spread of refreshments.
As the attendant poured tea, the maid also served Sephia some hot tea.
“Please.”
“Yes.”

Their conversation was much shorter than usual.
Sephia looked down.
Judging by the green color and scent, it was peppermint tea, tailored to Deimos’s taste.
The tea was so strong that just one sip numbed her mouth and cleared her head.
It wasn’t her preference, but drinking the strong tea made her realize she was indeed facing her husband.
This realization allowed Sephia to take a few more sips.
Her head cleared forcefully, giving her courage. She broached the topic she had been holding back.
“I’ve heard some news about Your Majesty. Is it true?”
From someone other than you.
Sephia swallowed her words.
Deimos elegantly set down his teacup before nodding.

“Yes.”
It was just a confirmation of what she already knew.
Still, her heart seemed to sink, despite her resolve not to be shaken.
His next words hit Sephia like a bigger wave.
“Attraction and comfort. I thought it was nonsense, but it’s true. Her embrace was warm and soft.”
Deimos’s eyes softened as if recalling the woman’s embrace.
He suffered from severe insomnia.
Even if he did sleep, he was plagued by nightmares.
The woman with Deimos’s Name had been comforting him.
Something Sephia couldn’t do.

“I’m glad to hear that.”
Her heart felt like it was sinking into the mire, the sensation dizzying.
But it was still okay. The important question was yet to come.
“…Then, have you also imprinted, Your Majesty?”
“No.”
The blunt response startled Sephia.
She nearly sighed in relief but barely held it back.
“I see.”
She tried to sound as calm as possible.
But his sensitive crimson eyes seemed to keenly observe her, trying to understand her thoughts.

“You seem concerned.”
She couldn’t deny it.
Even though.
‘We’re only a couple in name.’
The love of their youth was gone now.
Because.
They had never shared a bed.
Only Sephia and the Emperor’s personal maidservant knew this fact.
There was likely not a single fragment of past affection left.
Yet Deimos had proposed to Sephia because of a revelation in the Therian Empire’s temple.

‘The Star of Ishtar.’
A person with this special destiny to revive the empire was born in a human body.
The Star of Ishtar had always been the Emperor’s consort.
This time, it was Sephia.
A destiny meant for a therian, borne by a human.
She learned this after setting foot in the Therian Empire.
Sephia, now an Empress of a foreign land, tried hard not to recall her past.
A fragment of memory that allowed her to breathe even in pain.
Only after a long time could she recall those painful memories without being hurt.
“Since she bears Your Majesty’s Name, as the Empress, I can’t help but be concerned.”

It was the same now.
‘I mustn’t show it.’
There was no love between her and Deimos.
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?”
