Chapter 30

‘…Who’s it?’

Trying on the data of successive emperors, there was all the time one… The riot of nobles aimed on the Emperor’s magic. Nevertheless, this time, the incident was a little bit extra vital. It ought to have been finished with out the information of the folks of the empire although it broke the unwritten rule.

‘How dare you kidnap and kill the Imperial Household within the imperial palace… No manner.’

“It will probably’t be.”

She puzzled in the event that they seen that the Princess lacked magical powers and was making an attempt to trigger a disturbance.

At the moment, when the case of the kidnapping of the Imperial Household got here to the floor, and it was recognized that Berthas had touched the barrier, the Princess naturally couldn’t stand as a successor with out magical powers.

Magical powers had been the rationale for the Imperial Household’s existence.

“No manner…”

The Princess’ existence was a secret. The one individuals who knew that she was not born with magical powers had been the now-deceased nanny, the imperial physician, and the chief handmaid.

‘There is no such thing as a manner that Aire might have finished it alone…’

It was apparent. By no means had such a cowardly man ever labored alone.

“Then, who’s it?”

Darkness lurked in a spot she couldn’t grasp.

“Who’s it…”

The evening deepened with curiosity. Isilis, disturbed in her coronary heart, confirmed that the Princess was sleeping and moved her. As if realizing her dizzy coronary heart, the moon was hidden by the clouds.

A shadow was forged on the finish of the Imperial Palace’s darkened hall.

It was Berthas. It was already late at evening.

Isilis smiled softly as she noticed him showing in entrance of her as she walked down the hallway alone, with out anybody escorting the Empress. Berthas, who had been staring sullenly at her, opened the door to the room on the finish of the hallway and entered. What was occurring when he opened and simply walked in?

She all of the sudden puzzled. What was he considering on this Imperial Palace?

The aspect view of her wanting on the moon hanging from her hallway window was faint. Her faint face made up her thoughts. With a decided look, Isilis opened the door, and Berthas stood proper in entrance of her.

“You’re late.”

“I’ve been considering.”

“…Then, can I feel that you just accepted me?”

“That and this are totally different. I’ve one thing to inform you.”

“What’s it?”

She didn’t reply to Berthas, who spoke as if puzzled. As an alternative, she gazed at his face for some time as she opened her mouth.

“Does it harm?”

She requested as she checked out his sword-cut face.

“It’s not that painful. This a lot received’t harm.”

“That’s a aid.”

Each had been speechless. Abruptly, the clouds disappeared and the intense moonlight was shining on the 2 of them.

“Then… Who’s focusing on our youngster?”

“We’re nonetheless investigating.”

“Nicely. Will probably be tough to seek out out rapidly.”

“I received’t allow them to go.”

“I do know.”

Berthas mentioned whereas taking a look at Isilis’ brilliant blue eyes.

He knew that she wouldn’t allow them to go. The issue wasn’t that… He had his personal downside. Berthas couldn’t include the rising anger. He couldn’t stand the anger and was wandering the hallways on this darkish evening. She even gave him a spot to remain and organized a spot for him.

The issue was then…

“I heard the princess wasn’t born with magic?”

“I heard she didn’t have pink hair?”

“Then, what’s going to occur?”

“What is going to occur?! The Princess can’t inherit the throne!”

“I heard the Empress had ordered to announce her because the successor?”

“Is it that simple?”

“However… As a result of there was no Emperor who didn’t possess magical powers in our empire.”

Whereas he was washing, he heard the handmaids’ phrases who had been arranging the bedding. Berthas had higher senses than others as he grew to become a sword grasp, so he listened to all the things even when he didn’t wish to hear it.

His coronary heart ached. The kid he couldn’t even maintain correctly was handled like that as a result of she was not born with magical powers. What sort of Imperial Household was being gossiped within the mouths of mere handmaids?

It was as if he was taking a look at his former self.

…First, there was remorse, then unhappiness, and eventually anger.

‘Within the magic empire of Larchen, if solely these born with magical powers turn into emperors, what’s going to occur to my daughter?’

He thought time and again. If his daughter’s destiny was the identical as his and he or she couldn’t succeed to the throne, what would that youngster do with the sense of deprivation and loss? No, was she going to think about that youngster’s thoughts?

He all of the sudden puzzled what Isilis was considering. Maybe, she thinks so, too.

Berthas, who couldn’t sleep, discovered Isilis strolling within the distance and hid his physique within the empty room. It was lucky to be handled as a distinguished visitor and was positioned on the identical ground because the emperor. He needed to hug Isilis, who had adopted him.

‘However, I can’t…’

He hid his sorrow and continued the dialog calmly.

“Then, what’s going to occur to the kid?”

“The Princess?”

“The kid… What is going to occur to our youngster who was not born with magical powers?”

“The Princess would be the princess. She can be my successor.”

“Is that potential? In a spot referred to as the Magic Empire, who’s not born with magical powers?”

“…I’ve to make it occur.”

Berthas frowned at her reply that got here after a brief pause.

“Isn’t it going to be tough for the kid?”

“Issues will occur.”

“Do it’s important to hand over the throne?”

“I’m making an attempt to offer her the perfect of what I’ve.”

“Is the throne the perfect?”

“Then?”

When she requested again, he couldn’t proceed. An imperial household who had renounced his throne, he didn’t understand how he would sound to Isilis. How might he inform the Empress that the throne means nothing?

“…Isilis.”

“I’m the Empress. That’s an unchanging truth.”

“I do know you’re carrying a heavy load. Nevertheless…”

“As a member of the Imperial Household, it’s a burden that I should have. Don’t inform me to place it down. It’s the identical with my youngster.”

In the long run, shut his mouth at her phrases. She didn’t inform him immediately, ‘You forsaken your royal duties,’ however it harm greater than saying that. When her expression was not effectively, a glance of hesitation caught his eye.

Berthas, who instantly made a straight expression, opened his mouth.

“Proper. In case you are a member of the Imperial Household, after all, it is best to.”

“That’s why I attempt to give the Princess the perfect.”

“If that’s your will, then you are able to do it.”

Seeing him reluctantly nodding, Isilis nodded her head. She knew as effectively. She was the Empress… It doesn’t matter what occurred, she wouldn’t quit the throne—particularly if it was the Empress of the Larchen Empire.

It was ‘that’ Larchen, not another small nation.

An empire constructed across the imperial household. A rustic that consumed the magic of the imperial household. And, Isilis… She was the one Imperial Household on this nation. The Larchen she was holding, such an excellent individual was what Berthas needed to have.

“Anyway, for safeguarding her princess…”

“That’s sufficient.”

Berthas opened his mouth once more, reducing Isilis’s phrases decisively.

“It’s pure for a kid’s father to guard the kid. There’s no cause to say thanks for that.”

“…Proper.”

“I don’t need you to overlook that she is your youngster, however she can be my youngster.”

“…I’ve not forgotten.”

“Isilis.”

He met her eyes as he whispered her identify in a low whisper. He contemplated as he regarded into her trembling blue eyes.

…You’re as anxious as I’m. My anxiousness is one thing I can deal with, however how about yours? Why do you say nothing when you find yourself so anxious? I’m one thing to you.

He all the time got here again with the identical query. As he struggled to carry himself again, Berthas positioned his hand flippantly on Isilis’ shoulder.

“It might have been good if I might share the load you place right here.”

At that second, her eyes widened much more on the phrases that burst out. Her eyes, which had trembled finely, making a wave of blue, prevented his eyes.

‘In the long run, will you not give me the reply I need this time as effectively?’

He didn’t imply to say that he needed to be referred to as her consort. A particular reply was sufficient. The affirmation that he was the one man in Isilis’ life, and that they’d generally meet like this… that was all she wanted to say.

‘I’ll wait.’

So long as he grew to become the distinguished visitor of the Larchen Empire for saving the kid, he had no intention of giving up. He meant to win Isilis’ coronary heart right here. He firmly believed it…. He was going to realize the belief he couldn’t get on the Etort port.

And by the point he left right here, he hoped she would inform him to remain.

“The Empress’ seat is lonely.”

“I do know.”

“If I begin to share the burden with somebody, that Empress is certain to weaken.”

“I don’t suppose you’ll, however… In the event you say so, that’s it.”

Her personal phrases, exhibiting a weak smile, loosened the temper. He smiled as soon as once more as he watched the sharpness disappear instantly, and Isilis warmed like a spring breeze.

‘Cute.’

It was simple to grasp when he considered it. Few folks had been as assured in expressing their feelings as she did. Hiding emotions was additionally the job of somebody in a excessive place although not the girl he knew.

Maybe, he couldn’t quit on her due to these appearances that she solely confirmed in entrance of him.

“Don’t overlook. You could have me.”

“You’re speaking nonsense.”

Isilis’s head shook backward and forward regardless of Berthas’s agency phrases.

“At all times take into consideration me. Me.”

“You?”

“Sure. Empress.”

He spoke playfully however nonetheless politely.

“This physique has already been enslaved by the scent of the Most Supreme. I encourage you to decide on me.”

“What?”

“Tonight. Could I encounter your bed room?”

He requested, kissing the again of her hand. As these eyes trembled finely, Isilis opened her mouth with out hiding her embarrassment.

“It’s a scene from a play.”

“What?”

“It’s an attention-grabbing play. The story of the Empress of the empire and the knight who liked her.”

“A play?”

“It’s a line from the play.”

Her face turned pink in embarrassment, and Berthas’ hand was thrown away.

“This!”

“Nonetheless, I’m critical. Isilis.”

Saying so, he pressed his lips to the again of his hand, clasping her outstretched hand. When his sizzling tongue licked the again of her hand, Isilis’s physique shook​.

“It’s been a very long time since I grew to become a physique that needed to be with out you. So, will you select me?”

This was the knight’s line. A scene in a play by which he desperately wooed the Empress, who didn’t love him.

“…In any other case, I’ll return to the battlefield and draw a sword for you. Maintain me.”

The final line of the knight chatting with the Empress, who didn’t settle for his personal coronary heart. How did the Empress reply right here?

“I can’t maintain you.”

Sure. She answered like that.
