“Greetings, Your Highness.”
“Please, have a seat.”
Orent gestured to Hezen to take a seat as if he were the host.
“You must have had a hard time with all the nasty rumors. That’s why I came personally to console you.”
The ‘nasty rumors’ Orent referred to were about Hezen being a eunuch.
“You really look unwell. Haven’t you slept properly?”
Orent glanced at Hezen’s bloodshot eyes, making a remark with a subtly mocking tone.
‘Damn it.’
Despite Orent’s seemingly consoling words, Hezen clenched his fists under the table, angered by the prince’s disdainful eyes.
He was sure Orent had come to gloat about yesterday’s incident.
“The emperor will soon send a royal physician after the birthday celebration is over. Don’t worry too much. If it’s not true, it’ll be proven quickly.”
“…….”
Unable to respond to the consolation, Hezen just sipped his tea, worsening his complexion.
Orent glanced at Hezen and insensitively asked.
“Are things not going well with Louibel lately?”
“…….”
“I can’t believe she’s going to such lengths to divorce you. She used to like you so much…”
Hezen scoffed internally.
What a joke. Since when did he care so much about his half-sister?
He always ignored Louibel, ashamed to call someone of unknown paternal lineage as royal kin.
“Yesterday, I saw Louibel with the prince from Luenhart.”
“…….”
But at this moment, Hezen was more preoccupied with his thoughts about Orent than his animosity towards him.
‘Right, Louibel liked me.’
He clenched the tea cup in his hand tightly.
‘All the effort I’ve put in! Louibel is my fiancée! She’s supposed to help with my awakening! My fiancée! My sacrifice for awakening!’
His awakening was within reach. If he could just gain the title and have Louibel die, he could complete his awakening and enjoy a perfect harem life!
‘Yes, Louibel will surely help with my awakening…’
As Hezen trembled with rage, he suddenly looked up.
‘…?’
The words on the still-floating system window caught his eye.
▷Clear Conditions: Lover’s death, at least 100 people in the crowd
‘Come to think of it…’
There were only two conditions to clear the quest.
The death of a lover and a crowd of at least 100 people.
It was not specified how she had to die.
She just had to die in front of a crowd of more than 100 people.
‘Other conditions don’t matter. As long as Louibel dies in front of people…’
A sudden realization struck Hezen like lightning.
‘I just have to kill Louibel, right?’
His eyes sparkled with the conclusion he had reached.
Everything had to be completed before the Emperor’s birthday celebration ended.
After the celebration, the Emperor’s physician would come to verify his fertility, making it difficult to avoid the breakup.
Who cares about a side quest? Just kill Louibel before that and achieve awakening.
‘But there’s no official event gathering more than 100 people until the main birthday celebration… How do I naturally kill Louibel in front of so many people?’
While Orent was boasting about his monster hunting adventures, Hezen began to ponder how to kill Louibel.
Two days had passed since the battle with the system cleaners.
The imperial palace was festive with guests from various regions celebrating the Emperor’s birthday.
Today was the hunting competition hosted by the Emperor at the royal hunting grounds, but I chose not to attend.
After all, I didn’t need to impress my mother like my sister Gloria or brother Orent, and I didn’t want to be in a crowded and dangerous place.
Not participating in the royal family’s event as a royal was a significant wrongdoing, but the boat ride held at the palace lakefront provided me with a good excuse.
The area, usually closed off, was open for a week in celebration of the Emperor’s birthday. Excited by the news, my sister Elizabeth organized a boat ride for young noble ladies, and I used helping Elizabeth as an excuse to skip the hunting competition.
Enjoying the boat ride and sitting among the noble ladies gathered at the outdoor tables by the lake, I was lost in thought.
The warning Anselot had given me two days ago wouldn’t leave my mind.
‘He must be trying to prevent the divorce to avoid the Bad Ending penalty. Or perhaps he plans to kill me directly before the divorce to complete his awakening.’

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: “…”
