Chapter 140 “What?” Even as everyone trembled before the former Empress’s icy fury, the alchemist remained perfectly calm. “Have you forgotten that Nicole is the only one who knows the poison’s recipe? If you kill her, His Majesty cannot be cured. And…” After examining the poison refined from the blood Kaien had coughed up, the alchemist turned to look at him. “It seems he has ingested more poison than expected. If it is not treated as it is… he likely won’t live even half a…- 1.2 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 139 Watching him, the alchemist clapped his hands again to draw his attention. “Even if you hear voices or see hallucinations, you must ignore them. You must never focus on them.” “…What happens if I do?” “You’ll become consumed by them.” “And if I am?” The alchemist let out a sigh, as if wondering how he could not know. “You’ll lose the ability to distinguish reality from illusion and become trapped within the illusion.” “Trapped within an illusion…” As…

- Chapter 138 Fortunately, we were able to arrive safely at the Central Temple without being stopped by anyone. In fact, even before we could say that we wished to see His Holiness the Pope, we were immediately guided to his office. “It’s been a while, Your Grace, Grand Duke, Grand Duchess. Have you been well?” “Yes. Thanks to God’s protection, we have been well.” After politely mentioning God’s name, Lionel and I took the seats the Pope offered. Wow, I’m actually inside the…

- Chapter 137 “Not even rejecting them—just ignoring them? Is that really okay?” “It’s the other side who’s desperate. Even if Lili has debuted in high society, it’s rude to send invitations out of the blue when there’s no prior connection. At the very least, they should go through a mutual acquaintance and arrange a proper introduction first.” “Ahh, I see.” So the other side had broken etiquette first, meaning it was fine to ignore them… I felt relieved for a moment. ‘But…

- 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…

- 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…
