In the pitchblack night, the Empress’s palace.
Inside the shrouded darkness, screams never ceased.
“Please, save me, Your Majesty, the Empress!”
A maid with a broken forehead desperately reached out her hands.
But her master showed no mercy.
“What is this animal making noise for!”
“II’m sorry. Please… please…”
Whack!
“……Aaah!”
The silver candlestick swung by the chamberlain struck the maid’s forehead.
The maid never got up again. The palace women who were waiting dragged the unconscious maid away.
The luxurious room was in chaos.
Three maids had been carried out of the Empress’s bedroom just today.
Yet the chamberlain fumed and fumed as if her anger was still unquenched.
“That damned man dares to make a fool of me?!”
To think she had deigned to provide a woman for such a filthy and lowly man.
The Duke had gone as far as the promised meeting place arranged by the Empress but then turned back.
‘The Emperor was informed in advance, and I was made a fool!’
The chamberlain had been acting like a gentle and affectionate woman in front of the Emperor. It was the Emperor’s taste, after all.
‘Your Majesty, I intend to find a match for the Duke. Being alone all his life would be pitiable, wouldn’t it?’
‘…Do so. Finding suitable companions for members of the royal family is part of the Empress’s abilities.’
Arranging marriages for the royal family members was one of the Empress’s rights.
The social circles were already buzzing with rumors that the Empress was matchmaking for the Duke.
However.
‘What has happened here?’
Kashar had a lover and ruined his appointment with the Empress that evening.
The Emperor sought the chamberlain, blaming her.
‘You insisted on a match even though he already had someone. Why did you do such a thing?’
‘…Your Majesty? What do you mean?’
‘The boy came to me himself. Despite him explaining that he had someone to marry, you forced the matchmaking. Why?’
The chamberlain was lost for words at the Emperor’s incredulous attitude. She was totally unaware.
The next day, rumors spread in social circles that the Duke was constantly sending gifts to the cold palace.
At every party, the talk was only of the Empress, the Duke, and the Duke’s hidden lover.
‘Have you heard? The Duke’s lover cried because of the Empress’s actions.’
‘The lover is a maid in the cold palace? He’s begging for forgiveness, sending gifts day and night.’
‘I know more about that. Actually… the Duke had a hidden lover, and the Empress tried to match him with a woman to her taste.’
‘Ah, so that’s why things turned out this way.’
‘The Empress has always had an unusual interest in the Duke’s businesses. Besides, the woman she tried to introduce was from the Count Enders’s family.’
There was no one who didn’t know that the Enders were loyal to the Empress.
Empress Chamberlain was rumored to be a wicked woman who tried to seize the Duke’s power using the Count’s daughter.
Moreover, the independent problems caused by the Count Enders’s daughter inflicted a fatal blow on the chamberlain.
‘Goodness, even after things have reached this point, the Empress won’t give up.’
‘The Empress made Lady Jeyana meet the Duke. The Duke’s lover appeared and cried pitifully. The Duke comforted the crying lover with a kiss… Ahem.’
‘Just a kiss? There’s a rumor that they’re already married!’
The love of the century. And with a couple that has a story.
‘The Duke’s lover takes care of the unfortunate imperial princes with utmost sincerity.’
‘She can’t leave the cold palace because of the imperial princes. That’s why the Duke comes to the palace.’
The imperial princes, who had been left in the cold palace, were on people’s lips again because of the Duke’s lover.
‘How angelic! Her name is Aileen Hallen, isn’t it?’
The sole woman who embraced the children even when the Emperor turned his back on them.
While rumors about Aileen spread like wildfire, the Empress’s reputation plummeted day by day.
“Why grant him a duke’s position!”
Wyeno, unable to bear the boiling rage, trembled violently.
How much hardship had she endured to ascend to the Empress’s seat?
“She should have died with that woman back then……! How dare, how dare……!”
Former Empress Viviana.
She was a perfect lady suited to be Empress, with a gentle disposition and a heart that loved the people.
The Emperor loved such a Viviana until she went mad.
Empress Viviana rejected both the Emperor and the child she had given birth to and shut herself in the palace.
Wyeno, a concubine, saw this as an opportunity.
She visited Viviana, who was pointed at as crazy, every day, pretending to be her friend, and told the Emperor that she would be the link between them.
“Your Majesty, I think a demon has possessed the Empress.”
Wyeno whispered to the Emperor, who was in distress. The Empress, unrecognizable even to the Emperor, was no different from a devil.
After years of devotion, an opportunity arose for Wyeno.
“The forbidden spell.”
Initially, she planned to kill Kashar with this spell and then blame it on Viviana.
