‘Besides, I can say that no one is politically opposed.’
There were those who rebelled against Cecil’s wishes. There were certainly those who gave advice with loyalty.
But they were only the ones who could tell Cecil what it meant, and there was no one in this empire who could really break Cecil’s will.
If there’s only one…… Maybe Rowena?
But Rowena’s confrontation with him would be unpleasant. She’s a comrade who can coordinate with him, and eventually she’ll take his side.
The quick-witted nobles were already sending gifts, knowing which side to stand on. The evidence was that gifts were piling up in the room for Rowena at the Crown Prince’s Palace.
Cecil was pleased with the fact.
‘The child will be smart no matter what.’
Cecil thought pleasantly, waiting for Rowena.

The chain rattled every time she moved. It wasn’t wrapped tight enough to harm her flesh, but it couldn’t be taken off at all. Even a bath once a month was only for a maid to come in and wash her.
‘The woman’s son must be full of happiness down there!’
Another half-brother snapped off. Even his nephew, who was beautiful but couldn’t keep up with him, couldn’t even send news.
Her half-brother stopped walking. Her beautiful nephew, whose head couldn’t keep up with him, also couldn’t send any news.
There was only one thing this meant.
I thought it was right to whisper in the hope of being hit and broken, but I was disappointed because I couldn’t see it.
It was true that I whispered in hopes that it would collide and break, but I thought it was sad that I couldn’t see it.
‘Well. What can I do with that monster with your power?’
She was recognizable as a sorceress, though in human form and sitting on a throne.
All of her bloodlines were endowed with the same strength. Funny enough, even after receiving the blood of a humble dancer, she was the strongest child.
No woman should be able to stand before him, and no woman should stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
He may have found a woman he likes and had a wedding, but he will eventually be crushed by her energy and get sick, or run away with an affair.
‘It should have been me.’
It had to be herself to be favored by him and to give birth to a child bearing his blood. Not that woman. If she had known it would end up like this, she wouldn’t have learned black magic.
The second empress looked in the direction of the emperor, distorting her eyes, which could no longer shed tears. Her tower had a window, but it was not in the direction of the emperor’s place.
The window over there was blocked by a wooden board by the prince. It was because he thought it was disgusting for her to even look at him, who made the emperor sick.
‘It wasn’t him, it was you who had to be sick!’
The queen wanted to scream so much, but it was already over. Her man lay down and became a man who could never get up again.
The current crown prince was born on the star of domination. Even her curse missed him and fell on the emperor.
Knowing it was late, the queen couldn’t give in. for she could only hand over the throne to her son, no one else.
That’s why she cursed the lives of precious people except the emperor.
The queen distorted her face as she recalled her father who tried to save her until the end. The father might resent her if he knew she had ruined her remaining son.
However, the queen hated her brother and nephew.
She hated everything that was free, unlike herself, who could escape only after the emperor died in chains.
‘Ah! If only I could untie this chain…….’
It would be worth having this empire at the expense of everything else. If only she could turn the emperor into a puppet.
It was really impossible to restore the emperor to normality, but it was possible to wake him up for a moment to speak.
If it had been before, the second empress gritted her teeth with an unimaginable thought.
‘It’s all because of you that I came up with this idea. Because you betrayed and deceived me first…….’
If she had noticed the emperor’s intentions early on, she would have killed her first rather than antagonizing the first empress. Indeed, falling in love with him was also unexpected.
When she remembered the boy with black hair and blue eyes, who stared at her without fear, the queen felt the will to kill again.
Cecil was a hateful enemy to her.
The evidence that he existed in the world was tantamount to proof of the emperor’s favor for that woman, so she wanted to kill him.
‘When will such an opportunity come?’
She thought of it as she looked up at the blue sky.
