“Pitiful.”
Lenisha muttered.
The loathsome sight of Lexsus, pretending to be a loving couple, smiling while holding her hand was disgusting.
The fact that she was being dragged around like a doll, unable to shake off his hand, was repulsive as well.
“Empress, greet him. A messenger from the desert land, Ireve, has arrived. In honor of the Empress’s birthday, they have presented beautiful silk.”
“Your Majesty the Empress, it’s an honor to meet you. If you were to wear a garment made of the silk we’ve offered, you would stand out even more.”
“Ah, so if she doesn’t wear a garment made of the silk you’ve offered, she’ll stand out less?”
Lexsus asked, twisting his lips.
It was a languid and leisurely remark.
From the Emperor’s pinky finger, where he was tipping a wine glass, a signet ring gleamed green.

“Hhow could that be the case!”
Despite the Emperor’s absurd quibble, the messenger tried hard to smile and deny it.
The messenger bowed deeply, head lowered.
“Your Majesty the Empress! If I have in any way offended you, I apologize. I assure you, that was not my intention at all…!”
Lenisha laughed dryly.
“It’s fine.”
“If the Empress says it’s fine, then just let it go. Bring the silk here, here.”
The servants moved quickly at the Emperor’s gesture.
It wasn’t long before the silk offered by Ireve’s messenger was in the Emperor’s hand.
The Emperor rolled it out on the floor.

The crowd watched, swallowing their saliva, as the expensive silk rolled across the floor.
They couldn’t even guess what the Emperor might do next.
After killing the Duke and Duchess of Rotera and forcing the Empress to deny them, he was now parading around the banquet hall holding the Empress’s hand, as if they were a loving couple.
It’s the Empress’s birthday, but he acts as if he’s the protagonist.
Canaria, who is so precious to him, wasn’t even allowed to attend this occasion.
“What on earth is the Emperor thinking?”
“Hush! He’ll hear you. Be quiet.”
Without a care, the Emperor wrapped Lenisha in the unrolled silk.
Lenisha stared at the Emperor as he made sport of her, her face impassive.
Her insides were boiling, but hiding it was humiliating. She gritted her teeth so hard that blood welled up.

The Emperor laughed heartily at the ridiculous sight of the Empress.
“Now, look at this! How does it look? Does it suit her? Does the Empress look more beautiful?”
“Yes, yes! Indeed!!”
Led by Ireve’s messenger, the crowd bent their knees to affirm.
The Emperor laughed vulgarly.
He handed the silk that had fallen to the floor to Lenisha, saying,
“So it is. It’s her birthday, she should be in her most beautiful form.”
In the end, this is how he wanted her to go around.
Lenisha bowed her head and chuckled.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

This was nothing more than a circus for the Emperor.
She had realized it when he had offered to host Lenisha’s birthday celebration.
This was merely for the Emperor’s amusement.
The Emperor took Lenisha’s arm and began to drag her around.
They looked at the things that people had given, one by one, and hung them on Lenisha.
Shawls, tiaras, earrings and necklaces, rings.
Lenisha laughed at herself, looking more ridiculous than a clown.
“Your Majesty the Emperor! Casius requests an audience!”
“Casius?”
The Emperor stroked his chin.

“I almost forgot about him.”
Only the Emperor could treat the war hero Casius like this.
Casius had risked his life to save the Empire.
And he had returned victorious from the war.
In that war, the two lords of Rotera had lost their lives.
In that place, Casius had become a hero.
A tragically conflicting fate.
“Let him in!”
She didn’t understand the Emperor’s intention to drag the hero who saved the Empire into this circus act without treating him properly.
Lenisha stared at the Emperor with a subdued gaze.

She intended to make a decision as soon as she secured her family’s new recruits.
Either kill and escape, or die.
Under the same sky, it seemed impossible to live with Lexus.
It seemed impossible to live this life without killing that disgusting guy.
Lenisha bit her lips tightly.
This rage that tore at her heart had no way to release, and it was rather eating at Lenisha.
At that moment, the door of the banquet hall opened.
Surely outside should be darker than the banquet hall… but it felt brighter outside.
It might be because Lenisha, trapped in a cage, couldn’t do anything as she wished.
Lenisha blinked her eyes.

“A torch…?”
That was Lenisha’s first impression of Casius.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Casius gritted his teeth and stormed into the banquet hall.
He had won the war, risking his life.
He had madly rushed forward, thinking he would receive a title and land if he became a hero.
But this treatment was all he got.
Even when he petitioned the Emperor, there was no reply.
That was why he eventually crashed into the Empress’s birthday banquet.
“How well they eat and play in the empire I have protected!”

Casius strode into the banquet hall.
People’s eyes were drawn to him.
