Ratan Year 210, February.
The nobles of the West Realm, especially the ladies, were excited at the news that Cyrus Karha, the North Emperor, would soon be visiting the West Realm.
Many rumors followed Cyrus, who had ascended to the position of emperor at a younger age than any before.
Among them, what thrilled the ladies most was the rumor that he was as beautiful as the moon hanging high in the night sky.
After the fact of Cyrus’s visit became known, the women of the West Realm would gather and talk about him.
“His face is as lovely as a pearl.”
“Even Princess Charlotte of the imperial capital bows before the North Emperor.”
“Even in the dark, his silver hair shines like the moon.”
“How about his eyes? They’re like rubies. They say that the portraits secretly circulating don’t entirely capture the North Emperor’s beauty.”
“I want to see the North Emperor use ice magic. Can he truly create a beautiful ice sculpture out of nothing?”
“If it’s magic… If the North Emperor makes an ice flower just for me, I will have no regrets.”
The women chattering like this knew that such a thing they were hoping for would never happen.
North Emperor Cyrus was famous for being as beautiful as something that had descended from heaven, but what lay within him was as cruel and cold as a ruler of hell.
“They say he killed a dancer who snuck into the garden at night without permission.”
“Princess Charlotte was ignored even when she greeted him.”
“Don’t you know the rumor that he likes men? He always carries a chemist named Isaac.”
“Even the Emperor desires to take North Emperor as a soninlaw, but there’s no hope for people like us.”
The Cyrus who had caused a stir in the social circles of the West Realm was already hidden in the mansion of Duke Bronthe, a noble of the West Realm.
Cyrus was perched on a large tree inside the Duke’s estate, and next to him was Isaac, the subject of rumors.
It was still chilly, and the tree branches were bare, but none of the people roaming the Duke’s estate had discovered them.
Cyrus was sitting comfortably on a thick branch, casting a cold gaze towards a window inside.
The eyes looking at the figure inside the room were so cold and sharp that they seemed capable of killing with a glance.
Isaac, who had an excited look in his eyes, unlike Cyrus, opened his mouth.
“Is that child the one born between the East Emperor and Rachel? Her manners are a mess, but she’s pretty. If you look closely, she seems to resemble the East Emperor.”
“…….”
“Anyway, I feel sorry for her. She would have been a princess if she had stayed in the East Realm, but to be treated like that in the West Realm… Duchess Bronthe is really cruel. Is that something a mother does to her own daughter?”
As Isaac said, the little girl beyond the window was pitiful.
Hair tangled because it hadn’t been properly washed, a body starved and thin. Even the servant’s clothes she wore were too small, exposing her arms and legs.
Without even a bed, only a desk in her room, she had been locked in that room for several days, unable to come out.
Her daily routine was to glance outside through the locked window and eat the meal that came in every other day.
A situation that would naturally arouse sympathy in anyone, but the eyes of Cyrus watching her were only filled with coldness.
Isaac looked back at Cyrus, his master and longtime friend.
“She may be the daughter of your parents’ enemy and a man who might be your enemy, but she’s not guilty. What does she know? She can’t even get a proper meal.”
“We’ll see.”
For the first time, an expression appeared on Cyrus’s face.
His red lips formed a cold curve.
“It doesn’t seem like she knows nothing.”
What Cyrus felt looking at her was different from Isaac.
On the surface, she might deserve sympathy, but on closer examination, she didn’t.
With a careless gaze unbecoming of a sixteenyearold girl, undisturbed by the rude attitude of the maid bringing her meal, occasionally looking out the window, she emitted an aura that couldn’t be defined.
Just the fact that she was the daughter of the Eastern Emperor and Rachel was annoying, but her unchildlike demeanor made Cyrus’s mood even worse.
Her blue eyes, shining like sapphires, seemed to contain something Cyrus could not even guess.
“Such a…”
Then, Isaac exclaimed.
“That maid is heading to Ariana’s room again with food waste.”
+++
A room with nothing but a desk, not even a bed.
Ariana was sitting upright in a dining chair, wrapped in an old blanket.
Her light blue hair and small pale face, elegant eyebrows that drew graceful curves, big eyes, deep eyes like a lake, small and pointed nose, round and red lips, she looked like a sixteenyearold girl, but her eyes were not.
The hatred and pain etched in her eyes were hardly those of a sixteenyearold aristocratic young lady.
Ariana looked coldly at the desk placed in front of her, but what was reflected in her eyes was something else.
Days of painful struggle for love, only to be used, and then death.
