Chapter 136 “I'm—I'm fully awake now. Put me down already.” I smacked Lionel’s shoulder a few times, and although he looked a bit reluctant, he obediently set me down. It was already too late to salvage anything, but I hid behind his back to straighten my clothes, then cleared my throat with a feigned composure and lightly placed my hand on his elbow. “It’s been a while, everyone.” “Yes, it has been a while, Your Grace, Your Highness.” It had only been about seven months, but…- 1.2 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 135 Chapter 11 You Will Be Happy by My Side Forever “Hey, did you see that?” “See what?” “Velvet Rumor, I mean Velvet Rumor.” “Velvet Rumor? Isn’t that just some third-rate gossip rag?” Velvet was a fabric mostly used by wealthy nobles for their clothing. So naming a publication after it essentially meant it dealt primarily with rumors about the nobility. Since even the title screamed cheap gossip, people who first came across it might find it…

- Chapter 134 “…What did you say?” “Didn’t you say you wanted to have up to four children?” For a moment, all the strength drained out of me. “…I did.” “Have you perhaps changed your mind?” “Changed my mind? …Yes! I have!” I glared at Lionel. More precisely, at his body. ‘I went through all that trouble giving birth, and you’d just take the child and leave me behind?’ So he thinks he can handle at least one on his own, huh. One on the left arm, one on the…

- Chapter 133 I was sitting on the bed, swinging my legs back and forth, humming a tune. A lullaby my mother used to sing to me when I was a child. Bright sunlight poured in through the small window high on the wall. Even though there was no one else in this large room, I found myself humming the lullaby over and over again for some reason. “Ah… it’s done!” I placed the knitting needles and the leftover yarn back into the basket and held up the finished sock proudly. The tiny sock, smaller…

- Chapter 132 I clenched my fists once again as I stared into his eyes, seeing my own reflection fully mirrored there. “All right! I’ll make sure no one, not even Rio, dares take the seat next to me.” Isn’t it true that destiny is something you carve out with your own hands? Let’s do this! “But Lili… wouldn’t it be better for you to stay here?” “Huh? Why? Because you’re worried that both the lord and lady of the estate will be away?” “There are trustworthy people here, so…

- Chapter 131 Yes, Commander. “If the rumors have spread, His Holiness the Pope must already be aware of the current situation. Have the two witnesses handed over to the Central Temple immediately.” After ending the communication, Lionel put the video orb into his pocket and began organizing his thoughts. A moment later, the huge wolf’s ears twitched pleasantly as if sensing something. At the same time, the bluebird returned, and Cecilia’s eyes sparkled open. “Wow, this is amazing! The…

- Chapter 130 “Th-That… Is that true? The real owner of the oracle… is the Grand Duchess?” “It’s all my fault. I had no choice but to… to save Nicole…” “Do you even hear yourself?! No matter the stakes, there are lies one can tell and lies one cannot! How dare you steal the destiny arranged by God!” “Please… Your Holiness, help us. If you don’t intervene, Nicole will surely die…” “She will die! Divine punishment will fall, and she’ll die!” Even in the oldest…

- Chapter 129 In this empire, determining whether a child is the emperor’s illegitimate offspring is simple. One only needs to see whether a prophecy appears at the child’s birth. Of course, there is a slight chance for a prophecy to appear in a child who is not of royal blood. However, the Marchioness of Lacal had been the former emperor’s consort, and even after his marriage, the former emperor had continued to write her letters. So, the Empress Dowager suspected that even though Dalia was…

- Chapter 128 “Wait, may I take a look?” Before the former Empress even gave permission, the alchemist, with a face full of curiosity, began examining the herbs and notes in the basket. But the former Empress had no time to pay attention to the alchemist. Fury surged to the tips of her hair, and she slapped Nicole across the cheek. Smack! “You wretch! I trusted you, and yet how could you betray me like this, striking me in the back of the head!” “…Ha, hahaha!” “Wha—are…

- Chapter 127 “Still, shouldn’t it be possible to leave behind an heir? There’s a prophecy, after all.” “But that prophecy belongs to Her Majesty the Empress, not His Majesty the Emperor, does it not?” “Uh… that means…” “It means that the future sage-king could very well be the child of the new Emperor who is to ascend the throne.” Come to think of it, there was indeed a royal who could take the throne instead of Kaien in the current empire. “No, but Your Highness the Duke…
