‘The problem is, even if I reject the position of the Empress, the Empress and the Manoco family might not leave me alone.’

This was the worst-case scenario.

If Helsion, who had never seen my face, wanted to make me the Empress, it meant that my enchanted magical engineering weapon was ambitious.

Therefore, even if I refused the position of the Empress, I had to be prepared for the possibility that they might not easily give up as long as I was alive.

‘Sigh, why did I get involved in such a troublesome matter…’

The cleanest solution would be for me to marry another man, but finding a marriage partner overnight was highly unlikely.

Suddenly, I found myself thinking about Ascan’s face.
The short but intense kiss that followed played back in my mind, causing me to shake my head. In an instant, my face turned red.

‘Crazy.’

Deciding to marry over such an incident was absurd, especially considering it was the current Ascan, not the past one. If it were the Ascan from the past, it might have been a different story, but the current Ascan would undoubtedly find it repulsive.

As I looked at the invitation, my face turned red, and I shook my head alone. Jelin, who had been watching me from the side, asked with a puzzled expression, “Miss, why are you suddenly like this?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just the invitation…”

I paused for a moment, lost in thought.

‘Queen attending the party, so be careful. It would be even better if you didn’t go at all.’

I recalled Ascan’s words from earlier. Just as he suggested, not attending the party at all was also an option.

Of course, the Empress and the Manoco family wouldn’t just step back easily, but for now, buying time was the most significant advantage.

At that moment, as if Jelin had something in mind, she opened her mouth.

“By the way, they say you can see a sword called Calpelliver at this party. I heard it as a rumor, but I’m curious about what it looks like.”

Calpelliver?

There was a novel-related story that flashed into my mind.

Calpelliver was a magical sword representing the Kalua Empire. It was a powerful weapon with the energy of fire imbued in it, and though it was unclear who created it or when it came into existence, it had been passed down for a long time.

Ascan, who had no interest in anything, had something he desired for the realization of the world’s destruction, and that was Calpelliver.

In the original novel, when Ascan, who had conquered the Arwen Empire, was asked by the Emperor what he wanted as a reward, he replied like this:

『What I want is only one thing. If you grant me Calpelliver, the sword containing the glory of the Kalua Empire, there will be nothing in this world that can stop me.』

The Emperor in the novel chuckled and granted Ascan Calpelliver. It was a natural decision considering the lands he would conquer in the future.

So, the weapon that was virtually Ascan’s alter ego was none other than Calpelliver.

However, unlike the original, Ascan had not yet made a move to invade the Arwen Empire, so Calpelliver was not currently in Ascan’s possession.

‘Although the original content has changed a lot, if Ascan is still in a corrupted state like in the novel, wouldn’t he still desire Calpelliver?’

Calpelliver had been hidden within the solid security of the Kalua Empire until now. However, the fact that it would be revealed at this party inevitably aroused curiosity.

Lost in my thoughts, I didn’t say anything, and Jelin spoke up again as if she had something on her mind.

“Miss?”

“Ah, about the invitation… Accept it.”

There was an option not to attend the party, but at this point, I was more curious about Ascan’s state of mind.

‘Finding out what Ascan is thinking right now is the most urgent.’ Whether Ascan was in a corrupted state or not was crucial.
The Empress Serena’s schemes could be avoided, but if Ascan had thoughts of destroying the world as in the original, preparations needed to be made promptly.

Calspelliver would undoubtedly be helpful in understanding his thoughts.

‘Anyway, avoiding the party is just a temporary measure.’

Skipping this party wouldn’t change anything. The possibility of the Empress and the Manoco family willingly stepping back was extremely low.

If there was going to be a clash at some point, it might be better to take the first blow this time.

However, to avoid falling into the specialty of the Manoco family, hypnotism, thorough preparations were necessary.

“Got it. Miss. Should I also inform Count Artreus that you will be attending the party? The butler mentioned earlier that he wanted to know if you would attend.”

Jelin’s words brought to mind the face of the bishop I had last seen.

Was she trying to push me to have good relations with Ascan by secretly informing him of my actions?

I nodded soon after. I didn’t know what the bishop was thinking, but lately, just seeing Ascan’s shadow made me want to run away.

“Sure, go ahead. But since I don’t want to run into Ascan for a while, please cooperate.”

“Huh? Why all of a sudden?”

Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away

This is also on my reread list!

This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.

Definitely worth a read, y’all!

The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.

But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.

Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.

I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.

The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.

As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.

Su Heng assists a divine lord in his cultivation, aiming to make him experience all the sufferings of love, so that he can attain the Great Dao.

Only after being chased down from the heavens by the divine lord, confined and completely possessed by him, does she realize how successful she has been.
