My eyes widened for a moment at Carsis' honest words, and a smile appeared on my lips.
“You’re cute, Carsis.”
Then I lifted his chin with my slender fingers and hummed.
“Cheekily.”
The two lips that were almost touching overlapped.
Sharing each other's warm breath, yearningly.
Immediately afterwards, something heavy and solid came into contact with me, who was climbing on top of Carsis.
Then Carsis frowned as if trying to hold back something.
“Don’t hold back.”
Later that day, Deborah asked the maid who came to clean her room to change rooms, but her request was not granted.
Because of that, she had to hear the sound of the two having sex vividly several times after that.
But Deborah had to keep hearing that horrible sound.
Deborah bit her lip in exasperation.
“Then, if you have nothing more to say, I will go now.”
It was at this moment that Bellona, who was looking at Deborah with indifferent eyes, was about to leave.
“I heard that Duke Cretian was burned to death here.”
Deborah's words caught Bellona off guard.
“No matter how blinded by revenge you are, you still kill the Duke who has been like a father to you since you were young. You are too cruel. You are.”
Deborah was glaring at Bellona with a face that made no attempt to hide her hostility.
Bellona shrugged her shoulders as if she found Deborah's words, which seemed to be intended to provoke her, amusing.
“Knowing that, shouldn’t you be more careful about your actions, Deborah?”
“...”
“I killed my parents who raised me for over a decade, just like you said, so how could I not kill you?”
Deborah's shoulders hunched as Bellona spoke in a cool voice.
“I, I can predict the future. Now that the Emperor is alive, you can’t kill me! You need me, don’t you?!”
“You are right.”
Bellona readily agreed with Deborah's words.
Also.
Deborah smiled in triumph at the fact that Bello a couldn't kill herself.
“While the Emperor lives.”
But her body froze as she listened to Bellona's words.
I closed the door with a click and leaned against it.
I was staring into space with a tired expression, and just a moment ago, I remembered Deborah's face.
Those eyes seemed to despise me.
The anger that flashed across her clear, sky-blue eyes was vividly etched into my mind.
At this, I quietly muttered as if I was in despair.
“You can’t do that... Deborah.”
I don't know about anyone else, but Deborah, you shouldn't have looked at me like that.
“Why did I become like this...”
I dropped my gaze and looked at my right hand.
“You’re cute, Carsis.”
Then I lifted his chin with my slender fingers and hummed.
“Cheekily.”
The two lips that were almost touching overlapped.
Sharing each other's warm breath, yearningly.
Immediately afterwards, something heavy and solid came into contact with me, who was climbing on top of Carsis.
Then Carsis frowned as if trying to hold back something.
“Don’t hold back.”
I whispered, caressing Carsis's face.
“Do whatever you want, Carsis.”
With a snap, the string of reason snapped, and Carsis swallowed my lips once again.
A little rougher than before, to the point where it feels somewhat violent.
As Carsis's hand, which had been stroking my back, became more persistent, a moan escaped my lips.
In an instant, Carsis laid me down under him, trapped me between his legs, and took off the clothes he was wearing.
In the dark room, the flickering light of a candle sweeps across Carsis's body.
I also ran my fingers down his body.
My hands, as if urging something, made Carsis even stronger.
"... Miss."
The hot air radiating from him was making my body even more sensitive.
Carsis bent down and buried his face in my chest, whispering to me during the day.
“You started it, but...”
It's my heart that sees the end.
With those words, our bodies were pressed together so tightly that not even a single sheet of paper could fit between us.
The Palace of Solerian, the Emperor's office.
Isaac spoke to me, who was sitting on the center sofa.
“They say something strange has been detected in Gertz, the territory of Duke Philosykos. According to our informant who has been hidden there, there is no one living in the village.”
But I answered with an indifferent look, as if I had expected that.
“Duke Philosykos must have had a hand in it.”
No one in the empire did not know that of the five Dukes, Duke Philosykos was the most devoted to the Emperor.
So, Carsis and Isaac also continued to observe the Gertz territory after the successful rebellion, but they were curious as they saw no movement.
'But I never thought they'd be plotting something like that behind my back.'
I, who had been leaning against the backrest, raised my head.
“Offering all the villagers as sacrifices to the Emperor.”
I, who was well aware of the power of Duke Philosykos, recited in a calm voice.
Isaac nodded as if he was thinking the same thing as me.
“The Duke must have used his power to save the Emperor.”
“Ernest will also be in Gertz. And the remnants who followed him will probably be...”
I trailed off.
Gertz was a fiefdom located at the southernmost tip of the country, farthest from the capital.
The road there was also difficult, so rather than going straight there after the rebellion broke out, Ernest may have decided to stay in the fortress of Cuenca and reorganize his army.
Moreover, Duke Philosykos was a peculiar and eccentric person, so he must have thought that he would be difficult to deal with.
But with Cuenca also breached, Ernest would have had little choice.
I searched my memory and recalled the villagers who had been there.
People didn't hide their hostility towards me.
They would have become material for the Emperor's resurrection along with the people who were in the Gertz territory by now.
Because the people who were living in the Gertz territory in the first place would not have been enough.
A bitter smile spread across my lips.
“So what should we do now? Gertz is not that close to where we can just lead the army.”
“There is no need to lead the army all the way there.”
Gertz was a distance that would take more than a month to travel from the capital by horseback without stopping.
Moreover, it was not easy to lead an army to a place covered with rugged mountains, let alone a flat land.
Then, I, who had been thinking for a moment, continued speaking.
“Spread the rumor that Deborah has awakened her powers.”
“Then the Emperor will try to take Deborah away.”
The Emperor blindly believes in the prophecy of the Oroz family.
Now alive again, but in his precarious situation, he will want the prophecy of the Oroz family more than anyone else.
“That’s what I was hoping for.”
I leaned back on the sofa again.
Imagine Deborah facing the Emperor.
“Then Deborah will take care of everything.”
Because the prophecies of the Oroz family are never wrong.
A meaningful smile appeared on my lips.
The sound of clacking heels echoes quietly through the wide hallway.
Bellona, who was walking gracefully through the middle of it all, suddenly stopped when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.
“Bellona.”
When she turned her head towards where the sound came from, the person she saw was Deborah.
Deborah walked out with a calm demeanor, as if she had been waiting for Bellona to pass by.
She had lovely, flowing hair that looked sweet no matter when she saw her.
“That’s your real name? You’ve been fooling everyone by pretending to be Elizabeth, who lost her memory... You’re really amazing.”
Bellona stared blankly at Deborah, whose lips were tilted upwards.
Deborah's mood was different than before.
Until a few days ago, she had seemed like a naive and innocent young lady, but now she seemed rather vicious.
Bellona, who was very happy to see Deborah, who had changed so much, responded with a smile.
“Thank you for the compliment. It’s nice that you recognize my efforts.”
She responded to Deborah's provocation, which was full of sarcasm, without blinking an eye.
Deborah's eyebrows twitched as if she found the sight unpleasant.
But she cleared her throat as if to ask when she had ever shown her emotions.
“Are you doing this on purpose?
"What?"
“You do that with Carsis every night.”
Although it was clear what Deborah meant, Bellona tilted her head as if she did not know.
Then Deborah continued, clenching her teeth.
“You brought me to the room next to Carsis on purpose. To show me that you and Carsis are together.”
But Bellona answered with her eyes wide open as if she didn't know Deborah knew that fact.
“Oh my goodness. I guess you heard me. I’m sorry. Carsis was being too rough, and I couldn’t hold back. I’ll be more careful next time.”
Covering her flushed cheek with her hand as if shyly.
From next time...
But that answer meant that Bellona would neither change Deborah's room nor stop intercourse with Carsis.
Deborah laughed bitterly as she repeated Bellona's last words.
“Do whatever you want, Carsis.”
With a snap, the string of reason snapped, and Carsis swallowed my lips once again.
A little rougher than before, to the point where it feels somewhat violent.
As Carsis's hand, which had been stroking my back, became more persistent, a moan escaped my lips.
