Neither the golden throne nor the power that controlled the empire could save the Emperor's pride, which was being crushed at this moment.
The beautiful melody of the banquet had long since fallen on his ears.
The feeling of satisfaction that had been felt so much as if the whole world was blessing and celebrating his life was shattered.
"Since the author is still so young and strong, did the Western Empress not forget and secretly hit the boat behind me?"
A fire burned inside him. The hand holding the cane trembled.
"The Western Empress."
Perdiccas II now had to go down the platform and try hard not to beat the Empress to death.
"If you are so strong, you look at my Imperial name as ridiculous. Yes, from now on, the Western Empress will be in the abyss...No, you're still my wife, but that's a bit too much. A tower would be appropriate."
Swallowing his trembling breath and anger, the Emperor scratched his chin and smiled cruelly.
He didn't even look at the man next to Western Empress.
"It's better to cool your head there with the cold wind."
"..."
"What are you doing? Don't take the Empress with you?"
"Your Majesty, no. Please look down again with pity..."
"The Western Empress. 'Cool down' your head and say, 'Come."
The Emperor sharply warned again.
"Even so, to turn your back on me in such an instant, twenty years of illness are wasted."
The Empress swallowed a silent sigh deep in her throat.
After giving her son, Juan, who had a confused face, a warning to never come forward.
"Yes, I will."
Finally, the Western Empress bowed her head briefly and accepted the Emperor's wishes.
"One thing, Your Majesty. Please remember only one thing. I swear to the goddess, if I am not honorable, I will not hesitate to punish myself by falling into hell and repeating endless reincarnation."
However, Perdiccas II waved his hands in the air, even his wife's determined determination.
"Take the Western Empress."
"Let go. I know the way to the tower."
Western Empress stood up, trimmed her unkempt hair, and smoothed out the folds of her dress. Then she raised her chin.
It didn't make her misery go away, but it did at least give the impression that she wouldn't fall apart in light of the life she had lived.
"I will serve you, Your Majesty, the Empress."
The Empress looked up.
Her gaze scanned the bloodied knight Baldina, her contemplative son Juan, and the old man who looked at her with aching eyes.
Finally, she made eye contact with the first Prince and his wife, who were staring at her clearly.
"To make a noose to hold me back with the old affections, there is no way that a barren bastard would use such a method."
Then there is only one person who created this trap.
"Princess, I didn't know this side of you."
'How did they know Alfred's existence?'
She found an old opponent and realized that this blue sissy was aimed at her accurately.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the Empress. I wanted to protect Your Majesty who 'cared' for me when I just came in..."
The 1st Princess bowed her head in disbelief.
She looked like she didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Western Empress's teeth were gnashing. It was because only she understood what she meant.
Since you aimed at me, I aimed at you as well.
"No, I won't forget your heart."
Clutching the dress tightly, Western Empress smiled benevolently.
"The day I come back, I'll be happy to reciprocate."
As if she didn't want to think about the fact that it wouldn't be easy to get back to this glorious place.
***
The Emperor coldly stared at the Western Empress as she left, and then turned around.
He scratched his chin.
"In the meantime, the management of the Inner Palace cannot be left vacant. Eastern Empress, you should do your best."
It is not enough to imprison Western Empress in the tower like a sinner, but to take away her real power?
It was a cold tone that did not even look at his son, the Third Prince, who had tacitly supported the Emperor.
"Eastern Empress, why don't you have an answer?"
Even the Eastern Empress, who was the person concerned, was confused by this change and finally answered.
"Yes, yes...! ...I will!"
The Emperor nodded and scratched his chin, and turned to the Templar Commander.
"Templar Leader."
"Yes... Your Majesty."
"You're an idiot. I have put a guy like you in to protect the imperial family."
The fact that he did not hesitate to criticize the situation even though it was an official position showed Perdiccas II's anger at the current situation.
"Why do you handle things so clumsily without properly investigating them, and worsen our relationship with Valdina? I will remove you from your position as a commander. Wait for my punishment."
"I beg you, Your Majesty."
The Templar Commander, who was contemplating the situation that was going completely differently from the plan, prostrated himself without making eye contact with the emperor.
"1st Princess, you have put your heart into it, but you will be accused of wrongdoing."
"..."
Perdiccas II was furious when he learned of his wife's betrayal, and he was even angrier because he was sorry for the Princess of Valdina.
However, since he had a public appearance, he couldn't let go of the treatment of Valdina.
Perhaps because of this, a coarse pronunciation leaked out of the Emperor's handwritten issae.
"This will not be enough to compensate for your country and your injured escort. So I will put your escort in that idiot's seat."
The Emperor's piercing gaze scanned Medea.
His pride was hurt that his daughter-in-law found out that his wife had feelings for another man.
As if she didn't know the story, Medea bowed respectfully.
"Thank you for your consideration, but Your Majesty, I cannot accept it. Compared to the privileges and gifts you have bestowed upon me, what I have done is insignificant."
Apart from the discord between her husband and father-in-law, she is like the daughter-in-law of the "temperament of Valdinian" itself, who says that the favor received must be repaid.
Then she turned to face Sissair and pleaded.
"Sir Sissair, I hope you will understand this matter."
"Your Highness, I am sorry, but I cannot do so for the sake of Valdina's honor."
However, Sissair turned on his glasses with a cold expression.
"How long have you been on the throne of Katzen, and Your Highness is already willing to look at the shame of the motherland?"
He had a very annoyed expression on his face and coldly snapped at Medea.
"Didn't Her Majesty the Empress's gentle love for her family hurt your limbs? Is Your Highness even worthy of devotion? This is a country that didn't even treat Your Highness as a human being after you entered the country?"
When the things that Medea had ignored and rejected after entering the First Prince's palace came out of Sissair's mouth, the faces of the Katzen people turned red all at once.
"If you were going to use it like a servant who would throw away one of the best knights in Agema for these people."
He looked Medea straight in the eye and added firmly.
"I will take Sir Menil. If we keep her here any longer, we won't even have bone dust left."
It was a scathing slap in the face of Perdiccas II and the Imperial knights.
Hearing the young man's accusations, the number of veins in the Emperor's temples increased.
"Lord Sissair! Are you really going to do this?"
Medea raised her voice as if she didn't know.
"I am the wife of His Highness the First Prince. Since I entered this land holding His Highness's hand, I swear to the goddess that I will live as a Katzenian, so if it is natural for me to think of Katzen first, why do you blame me for that?"
It was calm, but there was a cold anger hidden in every word.
"If you really want to do that, do as you want. I sent a letter to my brother directly. I don't know if you're going to trample on his only sister's face and try to build up his face."
"..."
Sissair and Medea confronted each other.
The brutality made the people forget for a moment that they were from the same country.
The Katzen people in the banquet hall recalled an old rumor that when the King of Valdina was absent due to war, the young minister and the Princess were close friends.
"... I will do as Your Highness the Princess requested. But I will take Sir Menil with me."
In the end, it was Sissair who took a step back first.
The young minister, who is famous for his a hard-liner, bowed his head as soon as the First Princess mentioned his brother.
The rumors about how much the Emperor of Valdina cared for his sister were not false.
Perdiccas II, who was watching the scene, also had a subtle expression on his face. He didn't know that the 1st Princess would take care of his trouble.
He even felt like Valdina's daughter, whom he had hated until a moment ago, no longer looked like a bad person.
"Minister. If you take her like that, what will my face be? Chamberlain, take my sword and give it to that escort."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A sword that was incomparable to the heavy sword that had hidden the secret letter was held out in front of Menil.
"Isn't that the heart of the west wind?"
It was cast as mithril and even received the consecration of the central temple, and the sword was said to fly twice along with the wind.
