“The fact that the flow of time reversed means that someone had a fervent wish. And if that happened centered around Belia, it must have been because of some future event that the child had experienced, forcing her to make such a choice.”
Hestia stared out the window, her expression showing that she was lost in thought.
“The day when the flow of time suddenly stopped. Since that day, Belia’s actions changed. She pushed Prince Raul away and busily moved to achieve something.”
Her gaze became intense.
“It’s just speculation, but it seems that Prince Raul did really bad things to Belia. And…”
Then she closed her mouth for a moment, sighed, and continued with a heavy tone.
“All of Belia’s actions flowed in the direction of protecting Ronika. Perhaps because the Kingdom of Ronika had experienced something terrible. Maybe in the future that child experienced, Ronika didn’t exist.”
Otherwise, Belia wouldn’t have such a dreadful expression of disdain toward the Empire.
Choosing the Second Prince would also be her struggle to survive.
How could I pretend not to see my own child in such a situation?
“You called me to the Empire, and you even gave me a carefully made barrier for a long time. Do you think it’ll be okay?”
The chief steward asked if she was worried about her daughter intervening in the flow of the world as the representative of the Divine One.
“…The Divine One will understand the mother’s heart that grieves for her child. Moreover, allowing the act of turning back time was also an act of divine mercy.”
Hestia said with an endlessly sad expression.
“But it seems that this is as far as I can intervene. I’m worried, but from now on, I can only watch as things unfold.”
In the changing new world, she hoped that Belia wouldn’t get hurt too much. She hoped that she would suffer less.
And she fervently prayed while clasping her hands.

The palace, now empty of family, felt desolate.
Having bid farewell to the Emperor with Khalid, Belia sighed as she left the central palace with a feeling of emptiness.
“Are you feeling lonely because all your family has left?”
“…If I said I didn’t feel lonely, it would be a lie.”
Belia smiled faintly.
Khalid, who was looking at her like that, grabbed Belia’s hand. Then, he lightly embraced her and let her go.
“Hmm?”
“I hope you won’t feel lonely.”
At his words, Belia pulled the corners of her mouth into a slight smile.
“I’m not lonely.”
It was true.
I just thought it might be sad and regretful not to see the family, but I didn’t feel lonely.
“You’ll continue to be by my side. So, it’s okay.”
Belia recalled Khalid’s comfort when she sent her family away.
Clumsy as it was, his sincerity was clearly conveyed.
“Don’t worry. I can endure it well.”
Belia smiled bravely.
“Let’s go to the Empress’s palace.”
Blushing, Belia led the way, hiding her reddened cheeks.
Khalid, watching her with warm eyes, walked briskly to stand by her side.
As they walked and exchanged conversation, they soon arrived at the Empress’s palace. It was a place they hadn’t visited in a long time.
“Shall we go in?”
“…Sure.”
Unlike before when Belia visited, they had conversations with the Empress in the reception room attached to the bedroom. But today, it seemed the location had changed for the formal visit.
The two waited for the Empress in the lavishly decorated large reception room.
After a while, the maids informed them of the Empress’s arrival, and with her arrival, appetizing snacks were placed on the reception table.
“It’s been a while.”
The Empress casually opened her mouth as if greeting someone she had met yesterday.
“Why did you come all the way here to see such a pleasant sight?”
With a tongue click, the Empress, who had been looking at Khalid and Belia coldly, frowned.
Belia, with a gentle smile on her face, calmly spoke.
“Your Majesty, in our last meeting, we couldn’t have a proper conversation.”
“…This time, you must want to turn over the tea again.”
The Empress, who brought up the incident of throwing the teacup and teapot, turned her head abruptly.
Belia let out a small sigh.
Then, she addressed the maids.
“I don’t want to show an unpleasant sight in front of you, so please leave.”
“But…”
At the moment when the maids were about to express their refusal to Belia’s words, Khalid glared at them with a cold gaze.
“Are you ignoring the words of the Crown Princess?”
“If that’s not it…”
Khalid cut off her words.
“If that’s not it, you’re disrespecting me.”
“No! We… Your Highness! That’s not what I meant…”
The maid desperately tried to justify herself, but Khalid had no intention of listening.
He smiled coldly.
“Unfortunately, I’m not a very forgiving person.”
The more Khalid’s lips curled up, the more the maid shivered like a quivering leaf.
There were many rumors about the Second Prince.
The abandoned prince, the reckless prince, the arrogant prince with no manners.
There were many words, but the most fitting epithet that came to mind at this moment was…
The cruel and merciless prince.
The story that the Second Prince ruthlessly killed those who displeased him raced through the maid’s mind like a fast breeze. The maid stammered.
“Y-your Highness. It seems Your Highness has misunderstood…”
“Misunderstood? I’ll be the judge of that.”
But as if showing mercy only this time, Khalid spoke in a slow tone.
“You’re lucky. Since you can’t show a terrible sight in front of my wife’s face, go out quietly when she asks nicely.”
Expressing gratitude, the maids quickly left the reception room.
And the Empress, who had been silently watching the scene, let out a chuckle.
“…You act better than I thought.”
“Well. I’ve learned something from watching and learning.”
Khalid responded with a vague smile, similar to the Empress’s expression.

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.
