“Yes.”
Cassius hesitated, then kissed Renisha’s forehead.
Luna grumbled at the affectionate sight.
“I have somewhere to go, Cassius. Have a pleasant time with your guests.”
“…Where?”
“Ah. I have to visit Hwansungel. I think so.”
Cassius stood up abruptly.
He couldn’t let Renisha go alone to such a place.
“Luna and Kian’s work is temporarily postponed….”
“Cassius. I have to go alone.”
“Why…?”
“I want to retrieve the remains of the deceased successors of Caeliot.”
Renisha let out a sigh, mixing it with a smile.
Renisha knew that Lexus was pressuring the Count of Caeliot using that as leverage.
Now that there was no Count of Caeliot to pressurize, Lexus was hoping for the bones to be handed over.
She wanted to do at least that much for those who unjustly died.
“I’ll try to go without attracting too much attention. Nothing will happen.”
“Take the knights with you.”
“Yes.”
Renisha answered obediently.
Although it was annoying to keep hearing worries, it might be better to take them with her.
Renisha glanced at Luna’s direction and got up from her seat.
After the death of the Count of Caeliot, their relationship, which had already shared more emotions, seemed to have gotten a step closer.
Renisha moved gracefully.
“…Did you like such a woman?”
Luna said, grinding her teeth.
It was embarrassing to be speechless at that moment.
“Be careful with your words, Luna.”
Cassius spoke quietly.
No one could tolerate talking recklessly about Renisha.
“Call her by her proper title, the Duchess.”
“…Alright, Duchess. Did you like such a delicate woman in the greenhouse?”
Cassius sighed.
It seemed like the conversation with Luna would not be easy.
“Let’s talk about the hybrids. So, what conclusion did you reach? Have you decided to immigrate?”
“Well, I suggested that it might be better.”
“I want the help of hybrid warriors. What does your leader think about that?”
“They might be fidgety since they have a body.”
Luna shrugged.
In fact, she couldn’t forgive herself for being afraid of that petite woman.
Renisha’s white and small face lingered in her mind.
She was a bit smaller than Luna, but where did she emanate such charisma from?
“But who is the Duchess?”
Cassius pressed his temples. Kian twirled his tongue with a disgusted expression.
After a long conversation, Cassius could hear all the stories about the hybrids.
They are considering moving to Hiloshine.
And they have plans to help Cassius with something, and the leader of the hybrids is also prepared.
“…Trained warriors are needed. I’m curious to see if they can fight alongside me.”
“What are you trying to do?”
Luna belatedly grasped the point.
Cassius gave a cold smile.
“Usurpation of the throne.”
“What?”
Luna’s mouth fell open. It was a topic she had never even considered.
“Why. Wasn’t that what you wanted?”
“Well, that…”
Luna swallowed her saliva and asked.
“Are you going to take that position?”
“No. There’s someone else who will become the emperor.”
Light seeped into Cassius’s pupils.
She couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Renisha.
And imagining something with Renisha made her even happier.
“Renisha. Renisha Rothera will become the emperor. You asked what kind of person she is, right? It seems like I just answered.”
Luna opened her mouth again.
That, too, was a story she hadn’t even considered. Renisha? Renisha.
She was a more remarkable woman than she thought.
To kill the emperor, who was her husband, and take his place.
The intimidation the woman emitted earlier was not a lie.
Luna stared at Cassius with a strange look.
She had been looking forward to meeting Cassius again.
What to say. What to do. Or… what to call him.
She had wondered when the one she thought might be dead became a hero.
She listened carefully whenever news came.
And when she found out that Cassius remembered Luna and was looking for her, she was excited.
Her heart trembled.
After knowing that Cassius also remembered Luna, the emotions from the past seemed to revive.
But by Cassius’s side, there was a completely different woman than Luna.
She was like a porcelain doll, small and pretty.
No matter how Luna dressed up and adorned herself, she could never be like Renisha.
She tried poking Renisha out of spite, but ended up being overwhelmed.
Her heart hurt for no reason.
“Annoying.”
“What?”
“There are women like that.”
Luna turned her head abruptly.
Seeing Luna opening the door and leaving on her own, Kian sighed.
“Kian.”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
“Immigrate the hybrids to Hiloshine. And Luna…”
Cassius’s expression clouded.
“Watch over Luna well. Make sure no problems arise.”
“Are you not protecting Lady Renisha?”
Cassius knew Renisha to some extent.
And he knew better than anyone that Renisha was not someone who would just be victimized.
If Luna continued to act rudely like that, Renisha would make Luna pay for it.
They needed to avoid such conflicts now that they were trying to bring the hybrids.
“Watch over Luna. Make sure she doesn’t cause trouble.”
A sense of unease crept in for some reason.
