There was no other choice for Karim. He took René’s hand, and René handed him the object that was on his hand. Only then could Karim escape from the grip of the writer named Lubin.
After Karim accepted the proposal, René continued to explain.
“I know you’re targeting the Emperor. But unlike Monique Monmorancy, you don’t need a fake Lowell, right? You have a daughter.”
“…How much do you actually know?”
“Not much, so don’t worry. At least I know your goal is to make your daughter the Emperor’s companion.”
And René knew that Karim had become the leader of the noble faction and that Karim had joined hands with Monique.
“What I’ve given you is a drug that incites people’s impulses. It’s commonly used in the arena. Anyone who takes it, whether they’re afraid of violence or frightened, can become a fighter.”
So, René added that it was obvious what effect it would have if someone who usually needed to control their impulses took it. There was no need to explain who that someone was.
The current Emperor, Peter von Deraen Belf.
“If you take it, you should have no trouble finding the right time and method. After that, you can use it as you like. Oh, perhaps it can create a suitable opportunity for your daughter to approach the Emperor.”
“…Is this really all you want from me?”
Karim asked somewhat bewildered. He had thought that he was being threatened to do something very unfair or dangerous, but it seemed that this might actually be helpful to him.
René extended the corners of his mouth as if to say, “Why do you think I’m being too generous? Misunderstandings are amusing. You’re just a chess piece to me. Or a cat brought into the house to drive out mice.”
No matter how much a cat ate and had a full stomach, the owner wouldn’t know.
On the contrary, it was good that the cat was given food to eat.
“So feel free to do as you please.”
Until all the mice are caught.
With those words, René left the room. Karim quickly followed, opened the door, but there was no one there. He was suspicious of how someone could hide so quickly.
It had happened so quickly, and Karim even wondered if he had dreamed it.
But the vial in his hand proved that he hadn’t dreamed it.
Therefore, Karim faithfully followed René’s advice. No, he followed it with some hesitation.
‘If the Empress’s method works well, I can divert attention to the fake Lowell for a while.’
Of course, Karim had no intention of creating a fake Lowell like Monique did.
But when the fake Lowell was almost accepted as real, he planned to reveal it as fake and use it to raise his status. All truths and lies could be a weapon at the same time.
The one thing that set Karim apart from Monique was that he didn’t need a fake Lowell.
Regardless of how today went, it didn’t matter to him.
And the result was as René had said. Karim thought of the Monique being dragged away and let out a bitter laugh.
‘René Martinek, I’ll let you off this time for treating me like a cat.’
He headed straight for the carriage with the Grotaire family emblem. There, a woman with soft pink hair like cherry blossoms was waiting for Karim to arrive. She was Karim’s daughter, Claire Grotaire.
“Father! Are you okay? I was worried because I couldn’t see you…”
“Claire.”
Words of worry poured from Claire’s mouth, but Karim abruptly cut off his daughter’s words.
Ambition was burning in his eyes.
“My daughter. Do you remember saying you wanted to be the Empress?”
“Yes, yes? Why are you suddenly asking that…?”
Due to the sudden question, Claire’s face flushed with confusion.
“Answer me. Do you remember?”
“Well, of course I remember, but… Why now? Anyway, Your Majesty already has a bride.”
“Just a fake bride.”
Karim thought of Annette Martinek, who was nothing but a fake, and let out a short laugh.
She was truly nothing. What threat could she pose, like a reed by the riverbank?
Even if they were the same color, the wheat had to be harvested in the wheat field, not by the riverbank.
And Karim believed that his daughter could be the wheat field of the Emperor. He firmly held Claire’s shoulders and spoke.
“We have our chance, Claire. Now is the time when the Emperor’s judgment is clouded. Go to the Emperor right now.”
“Yes? But Your Majesty… doesn’t seem to be in good condition.”
“So that’s why you should go now! If you stay by his side, the Emperor will definitely notice you differently. You said you have feelings for the Emperor, right? Now is your chance.”
Karim said that and handed Claire a handkerchief.
While firmly holding Claire’s hand, he said, “Your life and my life can change. Do you understand?”
“…Yes.”
Karim’s face, tinged with ambition, looked just like a madman’s, but Claire couldn’t bring herself to speak.
“It seems like the Empress… is on this side.”
Claire moved her steps inside the palace’s hall and tilted her head.
For Claire Grotaire, finding the Emperor was not a difficult task.
She was the daughter of the noble Grotaire family, one of the few magic users in the Empire.

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.
