Rough fingertips pressed against her lips, a fleeting appreciation spilled out, and Olivia’s eyelashes fluttered faster than the wings of a butterfly in a storm.
But that was only for a moment.
Olivia, who casually wiped her lips, answered with utmost nonchalance.
“It should be sweet. It was made to be sweet. Now that you’ve eaten something sweet, go on and tell me.”
Olivia paused momentarily, picked up another dessert, and asked as she chewed.
“What were you thinking? If what I heard before I died wasn’t a lie.”
“I’m becoming stronger.”
Cryer intercepted her words.
Olivia, who had been watching him with her mouth agape, hesitated before asking again.
“Getting… stronger? You?”
Cryer chuckled, even without hearing the implied ‘more?’ in her words.
“I can’t know for sure what I’ve experienced from my four deaths but…”
Before his words could finish, Olivia blurted out.
“The castle! You brought down the castle! The imperial palace’s walls were shattered with a single swing of your sword!”
At Olivia’s genuinely shocked exclamation, Cryer bowed his head.
“It’s still too difficult to destroy a wall in one go. Maybe if it’s the wall between rooms.”
“What? That’s all you can do?”
Of course, whether it was the castle wall or the wall between rooms, the fact that they were shattered with one swing of a sword – a feat only a few knights in the empire could perform – seemed to matter little to them.
After a long while, upon seeing Cryer nodding his head in agreement, Olivia opened her mouth again.
“How are you getting stronger?”
She hadn’t seen him train like the other knights, or even swing a sword.
“Well, to be precise,”
Cryer revealed his teeth and laughed wickedly.
“It feels as if the things I originally had were sealed and are being released one by one.”
Olivia was left speechless once again.
The things he originally had? A power that singlehandedly started and ended a war by sweeping away the imperial palace knights?
“You… what on earth were you doing in the past?”
“If I knew that, I might also find a clue to break this damned slave contract.”
Just as Olivia was about to open her mouth,
Knock, knock.
The calm voice of Sebastian, the emperor’s closest aide, rang out behind the second midnight knock.
“Her Highness, the emperor is looking for you.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]A few hours after the corpse of a knight who was enjoying a fire in the secluded inner part of the princess’s palace was dragged out.
When the sky full of dark clouds from the night was deceitfully turning towards noon with the sun shining brightly.
A group of young ladies were huddled around a table with meticulously carved dishes filled with round desserts.
“The one who newly came in……”
“Recommended by a knight from the north……”
The topic of the ladies’ pouring conversation kept changing, and sometimes they burst into laughter while talking about different things.
How long had it passed since these trivial stories began to fly out and get mixed with other stories?
One young lady from a count’s house lowered her voice and whispered.
“That knight.”
Without specifying who among the countless knights, no one in the place questioned who the knight was.
In the current empire, when people said ‘that’ knight, there was only one knight they could think of.
The unnamed knight from the Nordendom who captivated the princess at first sight and entered the imperial palace.
The young lady who had started speaking took a long pause, but the other ladies did not rush her. They just pricked up their ears and held their breath.
“He was around Her Highness’s bedroom at midnight.”
“Oh my.”
“Oh dear, I knew it.”
As soon as the young lady, who had lowered her voice significantly, finished speaking, exclamations burst out from around her.
Of course, it’s true that Cryer was around Olivia’s bedroom. It’s just that nothing happened like people tend to imagine when they gossip.
However, since the full truth about that night was not revealed, people’s imaginations started to become more and more rosecolored.
“Ah, it’s so cool.”
The young lady with pink hair sitting near the center of the table had twinkling eyes and spoke with a dreamy expression.
“Falling in love at first sight. And with an unnamed knight and the princess, no less. A love that crosses status and borders!”
It’s like a dramatic love story that would appear in a play.
Indeed, the relationship between Olivia and Cryer was far from love, and if the two were to be weighed, the weight would lean towards Cryer.
To those who knew nothing of their circumstances, they seemed like lovers overcoming an immense social divide.
“Certainly, the status difference is too great. He’s not a prince of the Northern Nation, just a common knight…”
Before a lady could finish her words, a lady with pink hair, Anbuh, who still seemed to be dreaming, shouted with her hands clenched.
“So, it might be true love!”

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.
