Chapter 73 “No.” Kai shook his head as he held the seal up to the lantern. His eyes grew cold. “It’s a forgery. The genuine seal has the family crest engraved into its handle. This one was made by copying only the stamping surface.” “So it’s a counterfeit seal.” That explained everything. The crest stamped on the evidence Cedric had gathered had indeed been made using a forged seal. “Count Lantberg and Chancellor Bernhardt have both been framed.” Kai spoke in a low…- 660.8 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 72 “Perfect team composition. Though I’d like to correct one thing. Your record of covert operations is still rather modest. All you’ve done is wander around the capital pretending to be an ordinary citizen.” “……I can’t deny that.” Kai chuckled. “And even at night, make sure you cover that shining blond hair of yours. In the dark, it’s practically a lantern.” “I shall obey your orders, Commander.” “When do we move?” “Tonight. They’re already in…

- Chapter 71 Without realizing it, I glanced sideways at Kai. His pale face had gone completely blank, all expression wiped away. But it lasted only an instant. He soon regained the face of an emperor and continued reading Cedric’s report to the very end. The way he desperately suppressed even the slightest sign of agitation showed just how he had managed to survive in the Imperial Palace. “……Are the investment records reliable?” At last, Kai asked in a low, composed…

- Chapter 70 If we withdrew Lily, our information would dry up, but for now, protecting Lily took priority over gathering information. ……This wasn't a decision I'd made out of personal affection. If Lily were captured, the other side might be able to trace her back to me. We still didn't know who they were, and it would be troublesome if all our cards were exposed. “All right. Let's summon Sir Lily as quickly as possible.” Kai nodded, and I wrote a reply on the spot. On the…

- Chapter 69 “This is the official title bestowed upon the greatest contributor to our victory at the ball.” Ellie held the appointment letter in both hands, trembling, until she eventually burst into tears. “Oh, my goodness! I'm so happy! I'm going to show my husband!” Then she hugged the appointment letter tightly to her chest and ran all the way to the carriage. A little while later, Ellie's husband, who had come to pick her up, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the appointment…

- Chapter 68 While Kai was still asking, my father spotted us first. “Ooh! Your Majesty! No, son-in-law! No, Your Majesty, my son-in-law!” My father shouted, raising his glass high, and all his Northern Army comrades turned toward us at once. “Your Majesty, my brother-in-law! Perfect timing. I was just looking for someone to discuss the cake I'm making next!” My older brother also called out to us excitedly. “Your Majesty! Come over here! Would you like to hear stories about the…

- Chapter 67 The signals varied. ‘That person is someone to watch out for.’ ‘Do not approach that person.’ ‘Now’s your chance.’ Following Lady Margarethe’s signals, I was able to adjust the pace of my conversations. And lastly, the people who helped me the most were none other than the palace servants. My glass was naturally refilled whenever necessary, and just as conversations began to drag on, refreshments would arrive as if they had been waiting for the perfect moment,…

- Chapter 66 “The thing is! Listen, Your Majesty!” Ellie soon began talking excitedly. “Very good. That's enough.” Lady Margarethe eventually announced. She half-covered her mouth with her fan and smiled proudly. “Your Majesty, you've passed.” “Waaah! Your Majesty! We did it!” Ellie's eyes filled with tears as though it were her own achievement, while Kai, who had been observing from the audience seats, had already stood up and begun applauding. That man looked like…

- Chapter 65 The instructor didn't explain the reason. Just as I had never explained things to my new recruits. And sure enough, Lady Margarethe took me around the palace the next day, and the day after that as well. The kitchen, the laundry area, the garden, the stables… On the third day, the palace servants were still lined up in long rows, and on the fourth day, their responses were still military-like. However, little by little, something began to change. The shoulders of the palace…

- Chapter 64 The first day of intensive training. “The weather is lovely today, isn't it?” Ellie, who was playing the role of my conversation partner, opened with the most textbook example of small talk: a discussion about the weather. “Indeed. When the weather is this nice, do you usually go for walks, Madam?” “Oh, I love going for walks! We planted new roses in our estate's garden this year.” “What variety of roses? I've heard there's a particular type that's fashionable these…
