Chapter 9

“Who’s becoming husband and wife?”

Disgusting.

At this moment, Dana realized that even the slightest trace of warmth she had for him was disappearing.

‘To think I loved such a thing.’

Even a monk who drank skull water wouldn’t have felt this nauseated.

“I’m the one who wants to ask. Where does this arrogance come from, thinking I’d maintain our engagement even in this situation?”

“It comes from my power.”

Lyos smiled playfully.

It was that boyish smile she had loved so much.

“Danae, even if you want it, breaking the engagement is impossible. Because I’ll refuse.”

“Is that so?”

“There’s no history anywhere of unilaterally breaking off a marriage proposal with the Imperial Family. If you’ve become a person of this world, shouldn’t you at least study some history?”

“There’s always a first time for everything. Haven’t you considered that I might be the right person to be that first?”

“….”

However he interpreted it, Lyos stared at her quietly.

Then he stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray.

“Tomorrow, I plan to escort Alice.”

He declared matter-of-factly.

“I’m thinking of having an engagement ceremony with Alice. So I’d appreciate it if you didn’t attend tomorrow’s banquet, Danae Windsor.”

“No, I will attend. So hold the engagement ceremony another day. Tomorrow’s banquet is mine.”

“You still haven’t come to your senses. You still don’t understand that my orders supersede your authority.”

“That’s right. I really don’t understand.”

“What?”

“I said I don’t understand. This adaptation to this world that Your Highness so desires—I think this is as far as I go.”

Dana smiled brightly.

“I can’t adapt, Lyos Grants.”

Yes, I can’t.

Rather than meekly submit to Lyos’s unreasonable demands, I’d rather die.

“Rather, this incident has made it clear. That I can never become a person of this world.”

For a moment, Lyos’s black eyes turned coldly dark.

“Is that so?”

But it was only brief. Lyos leisurely swept back his black hair again.

“Then wait for 97 years from now. The Dimensional Gate will open then, and you’ll be able to leave this world.”

“….”

“Don’t forget that until then, you’re my subject.”

“….”

“I’ll say it once more. Don’t attend tomorrow’s banquet. Even if you do, only you will end up miserable, Danae.”

“….”

“You don’t even have anyone to escort you. Isn’t that right?”

She couldn’t refute his words.

Who would escort ‘Danae Windsor’?

No one would have such courage.

It was understandable. Until now, Lyos had buried every man who approached her.

‘After acting like such a madman.’

The Crown Prince’s fierce jealousy was famous.

Fearing they might incur his wrath, the Noble Young Masters hadn’t even looked at Danae for a long time.

So there wouldn’t be any man bold enough to take on escorting her.

Lyos was saying this because he knew that fact too.

After creating such a situation, now what?

You don’t even have anyone to escort you?

“Do as you please, Your Highness. I’ll do as I please too.”

Dana spoke coldly and turned around. She didn’t want to exchange even one more word with him. Just as she was about to leave.

She stopped without realizing it.

On the side table. A flower glowing softly in the moonlight was placed there.

That was….

“Ah, that.”

Reading her gaze, Lyos spoke indifferently.

“It’s the flower I was going to give you.”

“….”

“Since Alice went through something difficult today, I gave it to her first. Please understand.”

Dana stared intently at the flower glowing with moonlight, then opened the door and walked out.

That was a Moonlight Flower.

It was a very precious flower that only grew on the Southern Continent.

“Isn’t there anything you want, Dana?”

A few days ago, when Lyos asked that.

“Hm? There isn’t.”

“Don’t say that, tell me anything. I can give you whatever you want.”

“Then please give me a Moonlight Flower as a gift.”

But it went to Alice.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Something like flowers, I’m not really interested anyway.

Besides, since Moonlight Flowers are exclusively imported by the Windsor Family, I can get them anytime if I set my mind to it.

But….

‘You gave Alice a flower because she was having a hard time?’

You destroyed my world.

But you only care that Alice is having a hard time?

You ruined my medal ceremony saying you’d punish me?

‘Bad bastard. Trash-like bastard.’

Anger boils up.

What’s most infuriating is that at this rate, things will ultimately go according to Lyos’s wishes.

Lyos is the Crown Prince of this Empire. If he wants, tomorrow’s medal ceremony will be canceled without a trace.

‘No. Absolutely not. I absolutely won’t let it be taken away.’

To become a deputy head, I need to hold a grand medal ceremony in front of many people.

So I was determined to hold the medal ceremony no matter what happened.

‘What should I do?’

Fortunately, a method came to mind quickly.

“Miss.”

As she came out the door, the Secretary who had been waiting approached.

“I need to see His Majesty.”

“…Pardon?”

The Secretary looked at her. His eyes seemed to ask, “Are you crazy?”

“Miss, do you really think His Majesty will stop tomorrow’s engagement ceremony?”

Had the fighting sounds from inside the room been audible? The secretary added firmly.

“His Majesty won’t even agree to meet with you.”

“I know. It’s fine, so go back first.”

After sending the secretary back first, Dana went to find the Emperor alone.

And the situation the secretary had predicted unfolded.

“I’m sorry, but Lady.”

The guard firmly blocked her way.

“His Majesty the Emperor has refused an audience.”

As expected.

She wasn’t surprised since she had predicted it. Rather, she would have been surprised if he had agreed to meet her.

‘His Majesty the Emperor dislikes meeting people.’

Emperor Justio extremely avoided meeting with people.

He only showed himself when absolutely necessary for state affairs.

He was famous for rejecting all private audiences like this one.

“Could you request once more? Tell him that Danae Windsor asks for an audience.”

“Understood.”

However, after a moment, the guard approached with a frozen expression.

“There was a message from His Majesty.”

“What is it?”

“To get lost immediately…”

“…”

“He told me to relay that…”

The guard looked embarrassed.

Dana found it amusing.

‘Blood can’t be deceived, can it.’

Making someone relay harsh words was exactly like Lyos.

“Fine, then…”

Dana wrote a note and handed it to the guard.

“Could you deliver this to His Majesty the Emperor?”

[Your Majesty the Emperor.

It seems the Moonlight Flowers will bloom abundantly in the Imperial Palace Garden soon.]

After a moment.

“His, His Majesty.”

The guard approached with a bewildered expression.

“Says to come inside.”

‘As expected.’

She knew it would work.

“Lady Dana. His Majesty was extremely furious after checking the note…”

The guard whispered as if warning her to be careful. Dana smiled silently.

‘Of course he was furious.’

That sentence just now.

It was a kind of threat.

Creak. The moment she opened the door and entered.

“—!”

Immediately, a cold temperature wrapped around her neck. Dana quickly held her breath.

A man shining brilliantly all over stood before her.

With her neck gripped in his hand.

“Danae Windsor.”

The Emperor whispered.

“Do you wish to die?”
