110.

As soon as the Emperor’s finger touched the center of her forehead, countless scenes flashed by.

The image quality was so poor, like grainy photographs, that it was hard to make out at first glance…!

‘This is showing me scenes from the original story as memories, not text!’

Major turning points from the original story also flashed by.

Iris was still close friends with Princess Meliora of Tenebrin.

The Princess was expelled because of her wrong guardian.

Later, Iris was chosen as a saint and even became the Crown Princess…

‘Detailed content from the original that I missed is entering my mind.’

Eventually, the ‘War of Princes’ broke out.

And the world was destroyed.

‘Huh?’

Lillian blinked her eyes wide.

Then she was back in the Emperor’s room.

The Emperor was staring intently at Lillian.

“How was it.”

“The world was destroyed.”

“It was.”

I suppose when you’re an emperor, the end of the world is just a calm matter.

“Even if it’s destruction… it’s from a past life. Nothing to fear yet.”

“Not just the Empire, but then Tenebrin and other countries too-?”

“Everything came to an end.”

“…!”

“All… living beings died. The very world we lived in completely disappeared.”

“But Your Majesty, could the War of Princes really destroy the world?”

“The world’s destruction wasn’t because of that.”

The Emperor looked at Lillian carefully.

“In the memories I showed you… didn’t you see strange darkness in between?”

“Hmm. Between the scenes, I think I saw black holes pierced through.”

Lillian thought it was some kind of scene transition indicator.

“That is… traces of space-time distortion.”

Lillian must have interpreted it too modernly.

“The world is destroyed because of that distortion. It could even invade this way.”

“…!”

“I am blocking it… within the limits of my capabilities.”

She didn’t ask how it was possible.

This was a world of Ability Users. Many things were possible if you set your mind to it.

However.

“Your Majesty. How are you certain that His Highness Evren turned back time…?”

She hadn’t seen such a scene in the memories.

It seemed many parts were lost during the world’s destruction process.

‘Most importantly, the Villain is an Ability User of annihilation, isn’t he?’

The Emperor closed his eyes.

“Sigh… I don’t know how he did it either.”

“Pardon?”

“Even when I asked, he seemed completely clueless.”

You asked your son if he had regressed?

How surprising that such a topic could come up between an ordinary father and son.

“Lillian.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Stop my son… from turning back time.”

“But how could I-.”

No, how does an Ability User of annihilation turn back time in the first place?

But before the Emperor could say anything more.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Lillian stared at the empty space, then asked the attendant waiting in the distance.

This attendant had probably known this secret for a long time.

“Can he really not return?”

“…His Majesty seemed to think it would be truly difficult now…”

“…”

Well, looking at his physical condition…

There was that distinctive atmosphere felt when not many days of life remained.

Lillian slowly headed outside the Imperial Palace.

Her heart was restless from learning about this so suddenly.

This wasn’t just a book possession, was it.

The Villain turned back time… The Emperor seemed certain of it.

Moreover, the Emperor’s ephemeral appearance also weighed on her mind.

It was particularly concerning because he resembled the Villain, and learning he was handling something enormous alone made it even more so.

‘Thanks to this, I did gain new information though…’

In the ‘original story’ she read in her past life, she only remembered the very major plot points.

Jeanne, who had followed Lillian out, spoke up.

“Miss. Then I shall escort you back to the Main Palace’s Grand Conference Hall.”

“Yes. We didn’t take too long, did we?”

“You were only gone a few minutes…! But His Highness will probably scold us for every minute you weren’t there. Haha!”

“Why on earth would he scold you all?”

He was the one who assigned them as her guards?

But while heading to the Main Palace through the outdoor open passage.

Lillian stopped short.

“…!”

A sweet scent like diluted honey had just brushed past her nose.

‘They don’t deliberately plant flowers around here, do they?’

They deliberately don’t plant strongly fragrant plants on paths leading to work spaces.

So that insects won’t swarm the nobles and advisors who frequent this area.

‘Wait, this scent is-.’

It was a trap!

* * *

Empress Robellia was watching the Imperial Palace with a rigidly hardened expression.

After all that chaos at the Temple, the Empress’s insides were in turmoil.

‘I cannot accept such a mess of a girl like Iris as my daughter-in-law.’

She knew well that the marriage alliance was unavoidable.

Even so, the Empress was so furious that she hadn’t contacted the Tillard Family at all.

‘Pavil must always have the very best.’

For Kail, who had only inherited the Pavil Family’s abilities, he needed a partner who would perfectly complement him.

Namely, Lillian.

But when she was at that bastard Evren’s castle, no schemes could be employed.

There was only one opportunity.

Right when she came to the Imperial Palace. And at the moment she was separated from that bastard Evren!

‘Lillian is entering this meeting?’

‘Yes, Your Majesty.’

Therefore, the Empress waited throughout to see how the meeting led by Kail would proceed.

When she heard that Lillian had suddenly been summoned to the Imperial Palace, her eyes flashed.

‘Finally, the opportunity has come…!’

Sorcery cannot be used inside the Imperial Palace.

Then all she had to do was set a trap in the Open Passage between the Imperial Palace and the Main Palace.

The Empress nodded to the retainer who had come from the Pavil Family.

“The hallucinogenic poison has been properly installed, hasn’t it?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. No matter how much of an ‘Infinite Wing’ she is, she’ll show a reaction immediately with just a small intake.”

The ‘hallucinogenic poison,’ one of the Pavil Family’s many secret techniques.

Since it was created not long ago, only the Pavil Family knew how to counter it or detect it.

Especially this was a special poison that worked differently depending on the type of ability.

“We’ve made Baltazar’s men turn their swords on each other, and adjusted the hallucination so the Saint will be able to trust the Pavil Family’s people.”

“Good. Have you obtained their engagement documents?”

“Yes. Please look at this.”

Robellia snatched the documents from her maid.

It was the engagement document between Evren and Lillian.

And on the next page was an annulment document.

Even if only Lillian’s signature went into this signature field, their engagement would be temporarily suspended.

‘During that period, she’ll have to leave that castle no matter what.’

The Empress smiled with a bitter taste.

“…You really are remarkable, Lillian. To make me go this far.”

It must have been Lillian who prepared Iris’s blood at the Temple.

‘She saw through our greed and set a trap.’

She had looked down on that child for so long and realized her value too late. That’s why she lost.

She now admits that mistake.

But if someone like Iris is to become her son’s wife.

‘Saint. You’ll have to become a card for my son.’

It would be even better if she could shatter the heart of that monster who loves you.

* * *

Indeed, it seems that when there’s no mother-in-law, the sister-in-law must maintain the conservation of that madness.

…No wait, she’s just a prospective mother-in-law? Ugh.

‘I thought she wouldn’t give up on me, but!’

Spreading ‘hallucinogenic poison’ in the middle of the Imperial Palace?

Lillian, who knew about its potency, shuddered.

Once it spread through the air, there was no way to detect it, making it a poison that left even seasoned knights helpless.

However.

‘I survived thanks to the memory His Imperial Majesty showed me earlier.’

Because hallucinogenic poison gives off a faint honey scent!

Fortunately, the Shadows held their breath immediately thanks to Lillian’s quick hand signals.

Since Ability Users have sturdy bodies, they should be able to withstand the poison spread through the air to some extent even while running without breathing.

Lillian bit her lips while being carried away on Sir Jeanne’s back.

First, she needed to secure a safe distance, then eliminate the poison!

‘Once this is over, I won’t let this slide.’

Before doing anything else, she needed to turn this crazy in-law family upside down.
