Sepia, who had figured it out, asked the maid for a favor.
“Please wait a little longer and let him know.”
“I understand.”
She didn’t want an unnecessary confrontation.
As Sepia planned to send Roxan away and meet with Demios, she turned around.
Behind Lady Lemodi.
Crimson eyes were looking at her.
“It seems the maid was hesitating for a reason.”
Surprised, the lady instinctively stepped aside, and he entered.
Certainly, here’s the English translation:
Demios, who had alternately observed Sepia and Roxan, smirked.
“You said it was to cover up rumors. But it doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“…I don’t really know what you’re thinking, but we were just playing chess.”
Demios’ gaze shifted to the chessboard Roxan was holding.
The Emperor’s chuckle turned cold.
“I wonder what you were planning after chess.”
“Nothing.”
It was true.
Roxan was about to leave now.
Whether he believed it or not, he had already explained his relationship with the Duke.
Honestly, even this situation, where he had to explain what he had been doing with Roxan, felt uncomfortable.
Sepia asked him about the reason for his visit.
“Why did you come all the way to the Empress’s palace?”
Was there a problem with the water supply in winter? Since Demios had authority over the eastern construction, he was supposed to report to him first.
‘Unless it’s something else…’
It was when Sepia was struggling with government affairs.
“What’s going on… It seems like you’re asking for a special reason for a husband to look for his wife.”
Demios’ voice lowered.
While his temper was sharpening, Sepia was only getting more confused.
Husband and wife.
He seemed flustered as he suddenly came and mentioned their marital relationship.
‘Isn’t the bond of marriage gone by now?’
By taking over the government, Demios had severed even the slightest thread that connected him and Sepia.
Perhaps that thread had been called the bond of marriage in the name of the past.
Now, all that remained between them were the Emperor and the Empress.
And the responsibilities and obligations that came with their noble positions. That’s all she thought.
‘But why…’
It was him who had canceled the meeting due to illness.
Still, she had reassured herself that it was okay.
So, Demios shouldn’t come in late and shake her heart with words.
“…Roxan, I’m sorry, but would you leave now?”
“If that’s what Sepia wishes.”
When Roxan called out the Empress’s name, Demios’ eyebrows twitched.
But Sepia didn’t have the luxury to pay attention to the Emperor’s reaction.
She had to find out today.
The Emperor’s strange attitude. The reason for it.
Roxan made his farewell for the next meeting.
“Until next time.”
“Yes. Take care.”
She felt uneasy about sending Roxan away as if chasing him, but he left with a soft smile as if reassuring her.
A male passed by a male.
The door closed with a momentary coldness.
All that was left was Sepia and the Emperor. Only the two of them.
“Was today’s meeting with the Duke also necessary due to circumstances? It seemed like you were naturally anticipating the next one.”
“…Yes. It’s not related to rumors, but there are separate matters to discuss.”
Bringing up the issue of the map would only create a more uncomfortable situation.
“Between the Duke and the Empress? Even a passerby dog would laugh.”
“Well, no matter how often I meet the Duke, it’s probably less than the time Your Majesty spends with the government. Isn’t that right? Didn’t you come here from the Titi Palace, where Empress Youngae stays even now?”
He lost his smile at Sepia’s question.
Seeing him unable to answer, Sepia chuckled.
Even though he had the title of Name, he didn’t even think about hiding his meetings with the government.
‘But as a husband…’
However, even that was the Emperor and the Empress. If only the two titles remained, there was no need to observe etiquette.
Sepia asked directly.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“…What do you mean?”
“Empress Youngae mentioned my conduct as an Empress. But why are you suddenly mentioning our marital relationship? I don’t understand the reason for that.”
Certainly, here’s the English translation:
Had her heart ever truly left her?
Did it ever have the intention to leave in the first place?
If Sepia had not been the woman in his destiny, the Emperor would never have accepted his former lover as his wife.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
