Even if it was a commoner, no one didn’t know how much the nobles had been harassed by the Marquis of Logias to kill Kaiden until he became emperor.
So even if they were accused of being guilty of this kind of thing, everyone agreed.

“Is there evidence?”

“Yeah.
There’s a lot of witnesses.”

“Are you sure my father did that?”

He tried to say that it was a false accusation so that Evelina would not be shocked.

But there were too many witnesses, and the evidence was overflowing.
It was such a desperate situation that no matter how much he tried to evade it, he couldn’t do it.

“Tell me the truth, Ian.
It’s more hopeless for me that you lie to be considerate of me.”

Then he opened his mouth with a painful look on his face.

“I think he was trying to get you out.”

“What?”

“Assassinating His Majesty… I think he was trying to make Princess Elsius Empress.”

“Does that make sense?”

“…I don’t think it makes sense either.
But all the evidence….”

Evelina thought it was strange.
What was the antagonism that Princess Elsius has shown to her?

However, it suddenly occurred to her that Princess Elsius, who hated hunting competitions, suddenly tried to shoot a gun while riding her horse.

To really make that strange behavior look good to her, she went to catch a white wolf with a gun that she couldn’t even shoot well.

Is that possible?

Evelina thought that since the Dowager Empress disappeared, maybe she had another idea for Princess Elsius.

There, her beloved Ianathas was a collateral royal.
Even if he was the one who withdrew each time because he had no interest in the throne.
If she married him, she would be able to fill the lack of legitimacy of Princess Elsius.

“That’s ridiculous.”

“…I don’t think it makes sense either.
But…”

Evelina’s desperate expression made his eyes wet as if he was about to cry.

“Then really…”

“…yes.”

She was more confused when she heard about her father from his mouth.

“Then my father’s assassin tried to kill me?”

She couldn’t understand it either.

“Oh, that.
I heard that part was actually collected as evidence.”

“Which one?”

“It’s the work of Princess Elsius.”

“Ah…”

“There’s no way Marquis Logias was targeting you.
Maybe she was trying to backfire in the alliance.
In a way that she accidentally killed the Emperor when he assassinated you.”

“Then why did he want to capture him alive?”

Evelina asked because she couldn’t understand it either.

“I don’t know about that either.
Maybe it’s because of hatred?”

Evelina had to realize the reality by looking at Ianathas, who spoke painfully.

It wasn’t a setup.
Her adoptive parents, who cared so much about her, were going to kill the emperor.

Her heart was burning when she thought the reason was really her.

“How can they do such a thing…!”

“Lina…”

Ianathas seized her arm in amazement as Evelina sobbed and grabbed her hair as if she were tearing it out.

“I’m sure he wanted to save you.
I mean…”

“Ah…”

When she heard what she feared most from Ianathas, she could no longer maintain her reason.

“Lina!”

She shook off his hand as it was.
Then she looked at Ianathas.
The deep compassion in his eyes, and the affection and sadness he felt when he saw her.

Seeing all that, she was sure he couldn’t help her.

“Lina! Where are you going?”

“Don’t follow me.”

She left him like that and went outside.
Ianathas tried to follow her, but Usher Fronen interrupted him and said.

“I’ll calm her down.
If you create any more misunderstandings, you will be in trouble.”

Then Usher followed Evelina.

Evelina had to recall that there was no one on her side in this palace.
Ianathas couldn’t help her.

If he tries to help her, the imperial monster will devour him.
If she brought a strong man, who was richly endowed with imperial blood, into this, he too would die.

Evelina was horrified at the thought.

After stumbling like that, she felt like her legs were going to come loose.

– Swa-a!*

*TN: Sound of flooding water

“Ah…”

It began to rain heartily.

She wished she could melt away in the rain.
But by the time the coldness of the raindrops struck her in the face and made her limp.
Suddenly, she didn’t feel the rain.

“Lina, you’re going to catch a cold.”

She didn’t raise her head.
Kaiden put a cape over her, hugged her, and headed to the bedroom.

Arriving in the bedroom, Kaiden tried to pull the rope to wash Evelina.

At that moment, Evelina hugged his waist.

“Lina.”

His voice was trembling.
Only then did she know.
What this crazy emperor’s strange behavior meant.
He was not here as edified as in the original.
He seemed like such a sincere act to her.

Then she thought she knew who did all this work.

The whole thing had to be his work.
He would plan to remove Princess Elsius and Dowager Empress Isabella, who have to share power and deal with her and her family in the end.

At the same time, he was going to play with her as if she was the exclusive property of victory.

She looked at him and said,

“I want to hug you, Kaiden.
Give me a hug.”

“Lina.”

She was convinced by the look on his face.

“I want to have your child.”

She said so with a despairing heart.

This beast in front of her might have mercy on her if he achieved what he wanted.
