Therefore, Dmitri never wanted to bow his head or speak in a begging tone to the Empress.
Why should he?
Even if there were orders from the Emperor, a knight’s pride was not easily broken.
‘But if I don’t step back from here, it will be difficult for the Emperor.’
The pitiful Emperor has been scratching his head with a mistake that is not a big deal at all.
Dmitri, who turned 40 this year and has been living with his wife for more than 10 years, seemed to see it that way.
An Empress who still doesn’t know how to cover a man’s fault when she’s young.
An Emperor who, for some time now, has been flatly bowing down to the sinner who pleases him.
Both are endlessly frustrating.
In a fight between whales, only shrimp suffer. The Empress, not only in trivial matters but even in important ones, tried to outsmart the Emperor.
“Sigh… Do I have to bow down… Do I really have to?”
Like having a bandage wrapped around my neck, it doesn’t bend.
Dmitri gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
The heads of the others were already touching the ground, and if only they could kill their pride, everyone could have peace.
That… It wasn’t easy… It was a problem.
“Kneel.”
That was the moment.
The Emperor, who had been silently quiet, uttered a firm word.
It was a call with a warning tone. Not from the Empress.
Dmitri unjustly felt wronged.
Even though he knew that there was no way unless he did as the Empress wanted, it would have been better if the Emperor had sided with him now.
“I plead… I plead, Your Majesty.”
In the end, Dmitri had no choice but to temporarily put away his high pride.
After wondering how to make him bow down more if he wanted to, fortunately, after a brief silence.
The Empress opened her mouth gently.
“I request it, Shailo.”
“Yes, I will gladly go.”
Finally, this damned nerve-wracking confrontation was over.
Dmitri wiped his face with an expression that showed exhaustion.
Then, as he met eyes with the Empress, the crimson pupils were like those of a hungry predator, and for a moment, a chill ran down his spine.
‘What is this?’
Why do I feel such a keen sense of anxiety?
At most, she’s just a fragile woman.
Moreover, she used to be a frail… ailing person.
But, but still.
Dmitri swallowed dry saliva.
‘Is that the appearance of someone who was once frail?’
No matter how you look at it, wasn’t she on the verge of death?
Surely, just a few years ago, I heard that the Empress might die tomorrow or the day after.
But now, look at the Empress.
She said she could only rely on medicine because she couldn’t use divine power or magic, so when did she become so healthy?
‘Suspicious. I should keep a close eye on her this time.’
And if, really if the Empress is judged to be harming this country… If I get evidence!
‘I will be able to repay today’s humiliation.’
I won’t forget being forced to bow down like this.
Dmitri clicked his tongue.
A fight where everyone is looking at each other, ready to devour each other.
The winner is not yet decided.
The next day, a rumor spread throughout the camp that Duke Silver Rose, under the Empress’s orders, brought provisions with a mysterious power.
With food secured, as initially discussed, Team Z was the first to enter the swamp to start the initial demon subjugation.
And the leader of Team Z was none other than Enrique.
Team A was led by Shailo, and Team B was led by Merem, a rational arrangement.
And I… Of course, I moved together with Merem.
‘The air feels damp.’
Even in the camp set up at the swamp boundary, the air felt somewhat heavy, but inside, it was an entirely different dimension.
The humidity was so high that it felt like I had become a mermaid.
Following the flag planted by Enrique’s Team Z, it had been nearly four hours since we set out.
Fortunately, without a single casualty, the two teams were able to meet.
“Has the Empress arrived?”
Team Z had secured a relatively large area and was waiting for us.
However, after looking around, I could only see soldiers, and there was no sign of Enrique and the elite knights.
“Where is the Emperor?”
As I asked, a knight rushed over, about to report when, from the other side, Enrique appeared.
As soon as Enrique spotted me, he made a relieved expression and approached briskly.
“Are you unharmed?”

Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
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.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
