Returning to the office, he headed for a simple bed instead of a desk. It was a place with only a small bed where he could take a short nap while working. Hersis lay down on it, covering his eyes with his arm.
It was a confusing day in many ways.
‘Hers.’
Suddenly, an old memory came to mind.
It was the memory of when she whispered to him during the coma from the falling accident.
‘I’m here…’
Liz’s voice whispering to him sounded muffled, like hearing a sound outside the water from underwater. It took quite a long time to remember and interpret it.
“On the day you were injured, I said I would forgive even a heavenly hero if they appeared, and indeed the one who appeared was a heavenly hero. Then, do I have to forgive that person?”
It was a conversation about Ishaar.
Even if their relationship wasn’t that great, Hersis thought it wouldn’t be to the extent of a heavenly hero. However, at that time, they viewed each other with resentment, so he just let it pass.
After that, whether it was to keep the oath she made to God or for some other reason, Liz tried to maintain a good relationship with Ishaar, and Ishaar’s gaze towards Liz became much more lenient.
Hersis found it pleasing that the two people he cherished the most were getting along well.
It was a naive thought to the point of absurdity, but he only realized it later.
“Marquis Valdemion has become a suspect in a murder case.”
The moment he heard that story, he could easily understand the family relationship.
His uncle’s ambition was clear; he knew that Ishaar, one person, was more threatening than a thousand soldiers. So, it was a natural move. Rather, he thought it was delayed compared to his expectations.
During a brief moment of contemplation on what to do.
“Definite evidence has been found.”
…said the chief officer, offering a Lily brooch. It was truly a miraculous solution.
“Is this really Marquis Valdemion’s?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. His Excellency also confirmed and acknowledged it himself.”
Acknowledged… This meant that Ishaar was unaware that it was fake. It was undoubtedly a substitution that happened without him knowing.
There was no doubt that someone had framed him. If they had known, they wouldn’t have dropped the fake on the scene.
It was a fact known only to Hersis himself. And he was convinced that the person who switched the genuine and fake must have had a motive. He hoped I could find out and clear Ishaar’s name.
“Liz. You again.”
Most of the unusual events were related to Liz. So, even this time, it was clear.
Anyway, Hersis willingly followed her intentions and prevented Ishaar’s execution immediately after the verdict was suspended.
“Good job so far. It must have been tough.”
Immediately after the verdict was suspended, he tried to give Ishaar the brooch again. He thought he should hurry and promote the Valdemion territory to a kingdom so that something like this wouldn’t happen again.
However, as Ishaar took a step back, he kneeled and bowed his head.
“I am not qualified to wear it.”
Then, he said something that could have easily persuaded him. Hersis just smiled.
“Ishaar.”
Hersis gently scolded him.
“It’s natural to try to recruit such a talented person, right? Did you think your uncle would see you only as my aide? If so, you’re really naive.”
At that moment, Hersis felt that he had the right to say such things. At least, he thought he was smarter than him.
“Anyway, since you didn’t join hands with your uncle, isn’t that good enough?”
‘What if you caught me?’
Ishaar lifted his head and spoke.
‘If you had already caught me, what would you have done?’
Hersis raised an eyebrow. Ishaar knelt and looked up at him.
‘If a suspicious vote supporting the Duke in the magistrate election is mine, would Your Majesty still keep me by your side?’
‘…….’
He thought it was due to his mood.
For some reason, Ishaar seemed to be pleading desperately for him to reject her. But it wasn’t because of his mood. Ishaar really hoped for that. He hoped for it to the extent that he would bring up a fault I hadn’t committed.
‘Nevertheless, I will keep you by my side.’
‘…….’
‘Because I do not ask for forgiveness for things that a country would have done.’
Watching Ishaar, who was confused, gradually changing into an expression of astonishment, Hersis continued speaking.
‘Yes. That vote is mine. I brought my uncle by my side.’
‘Why……’
‘There are a few reasons. You know one of them well.’
It was to appease the faction that couldn’t forget Duke Seobung and harbored dissatisfaction with the current emperor. Even if it meant giving up on some matters, it was worth pursuing.
‘The rest you will know when the time is right.’
Hersis extended his hand.
‘Now get up. Before your knee joints go bad.’
But Ishaar didn’t get up. Instead, he bowed his head even deeper than before.
‘I mentioned it a while ago, didn’t I? I said I would give anything I wanted as a condition for the Duke accepting the proposal.’
Ishaar’s voice became more intense.
‘Do you know what I wanted?’
‘…….’
‘It’s Her Majesty, the Empress.’
‘…….’
‘I loved Her Majesty, the Empress.’
At that moment, the storm clouds pushed by the wind covered the sun.
In no time, after shadows covered the ground, a few drops of water fell in front of Hersis’s feet. Hersis thought it was rain.
But it wasn’t rain.
If it was rain, it should have fallen on me too.
It was tears shed from the eyes of that guy, who seemed like he wouldn’t shed a single drop even if stabbed.
‘Why… are you crying?’
Hersis asked. His own voice sounded strangely bizarre in his ears.
‘Is it because of the unfulfilled love? Or do you regret not holding the Duke’s hand? Which one is it?’
Ishaar raised his head and said.
‘She doesn’t know.’
His grayish-blue pupils turned clear blue with tears. It was a gaze Hersis had never seen before.
‘It was my own unrequited love. So……’
‘Shut up.’

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.
