Chapter 98 “Y-Your Majesty, spare me!” Aglia pressed her trembling hands together, begging Etias.Every gaze in the hall was fixed on her. Once dressed in gowns more splendid and lavish than even before the Rebel Emperor’s death, adorned with precious jewels—the greedy woman now threw away all dignity to plead for her life. “I was afraid.

Aglia’s eyes trembled. “How could it be so clean?” “It looks completely new.” As the nobles murmured, Aglia’s brows shot up sharply.She quickly thought of a way to argue back. “H-ha! Even if he didn’t draw the…

- Chapter 95 “Do you think Lady Katrin Elemore’s support for Your Majesty’s revolution could possibly erase her crimes?

Though she had recently been disgraced—her private army recalled amid corruption charges involving Fadelmon—her arrogance had not diminished in the least. The crowd stirred, agreeing with her words. “The Duke…

- 6. That Summer Rainier Kailas. That was the name of Harriet and Cedric’s first daughter. Born in the summer of the year after their marriage, Rainier looked exactly like Cedric, as if declaring from birth that she was the eldest daughter and heir of the House of Kailas. “I’ve never seen a newborn with so much hair. I was really surprised when I first saw her.” Harriet murmured softly as she gently played with the soft hair of the baby sleeping in her arms after feeding. Now…

- 5. Roxana’s Marriage (2) “While I was away in Candia, I heard something serious happened. Are you alright?” As soon as they met, he checked Roxana carefully for injuries. “It wasn’t a big deal. More importantly, I heard you’d be staying there longer, but you came back earlier than expected.” “Not a big deal? You almost died!” He didn’t even seem to hear what she said after that.

- Chapter 94 “Rise, all of you. I know you are without fault.” The line of soldiers heading for Quaidon would never have been able to enter the village through the raging flames that had surrounded it. On top of that, a flood had broken out inside, drenching everything—the undersides of the wagons were caked in thick mud. “We beg your pardon, Your Majesty.” At Etias’ command, the commander rose, and the other soldiers followed. His army was perfectly disciplined. I had only ever funded…
