“Well, they say that saints only see saints, and pigs only see pigs…”

“Rudrick, how dare you!”

The Empress raised her hand high once again.

But this time, Rudrick didn’t remain still either.

A large hand firmly gripped the Empress’s wrist.

“You, you! Let go of this!”

The Empress, who had been struggling and shrieking, suddenly froze.

Because calm, deep blue eyes were staring directly at the Empress.

“That’s enough.”

A blade-like voice thinly cut through the Empress’s eardrums.

Under the intense pressure, not only the Empress but even Prince Benjamin couldn’t move.

Rudrick continued speaking clearly.

“I tolerated it once, but I have no intention of tolerating it twice.”

“So, so.”

She tried to act composed, but couldn’t stop her voice from trembling.

Still, unwilling to back down, the Empress glared with wide eyes.

“Are you saying my son’s words are wrong?”

Being overwhelmed by Rudrick’s presence hurt her pride.

The Empress shouted even louder.

“Always acting so aloof, yet you’re constantly lavishing attention on Princess Milena!”

“…”

“What, do you want to become Emperor? Do you think someone like you could become Emperor, surpassing my son!!”

“…”

Rudrick’s body stiffened slightly for a moment.

Emperor.

That word struck his mind forcefully.

It was true that he had never once thought about the imperial throne until now.

However, the thought that just crossed his mind for the first time was…

‘What if I had a more solid position as an heir to the throne?’

Instead of living without interest in anything like now, just going with the flow.

Whether it be magical achievements or political standing.

If either side became more solid.

…Couldn’t I stay by Milena’s side more confidently in the future?

“Why on earth are you smiling?”

Rudrick snapped back to attention.

The Empress was looking at Rudrick as if facing something bizarre.

Thud!

Rudrick threw away the Empress’s wrist as if disposing of something dirty.

And.

“Then I’ll take my leave now. Please rest well.”

He smiled slightly and left the room.

“Stop right there!”

“Hey, Rudrick!”

Behind him, he could hear the Empress and Prince shouting angrily, but it didn’t bother him at all.

Instead, the thought that filled his mind was.

‘Could I also become someone worthy of Princess Milena?’

Rudrick took a small deep breath.

What was this feeling?

For the first time in his life that had been drifting like duckweed, he had a goal.

…His heart beat pleasantly with excitement.
