C174-176

Mikhail was drinking alone in the dreary office.

He encouraged the emperor to oppose the marriage of Juvelian and the Crown Prince, but the emperor only spoke in a casual way. It wasn't a relationship of trust, but Mikhail was convinced when he saw the Emperor's blind faith in the Duke of Floyen.

'It's obvious that the Emperor can handle the Duke of Floyen by any means. It's just...'

Mikhail, who once recalled what the godless favorite said, twisted his mouth.

'That's a magic trick, and it's right to kill a wizard to cover his lack of mana.'

Mikhail's expression was not very good, although he had questioned the missing wizards.

'If Juvelian is a wizard, the Emperor will try to kill her.'

Mikhail clenched his fist and opened his eyes wide.

'Never, I won't allow that. And...'

Mikhail's head reminded him of Jubelian in a white dress. Although she was a very beautiful figure in his imagination, it was the Crown Prince who stood by her in a showy manner.

'You're gonna give mine to that goddamn guy?'

His heart is getting cold and his head is boiling up.

'Don't make me laugh!'

Mikhail couldn't stand the heat and tried to throw the bottle away. It was then...

"Captain, are you inside?" In the voice of his subordinate, Mikhail put the bottle on the table and opened his mouth.

"Come in." Soon the door opened and he could see the face of the subordinate. He was one of the men who he once placed to the Empress under surveillance. "What brought you here to see me?" At Mikhail's question, the subordinate opened his mouth after giving a silent salute.

"It's no different, and the Empress' behavior is strange these days."

"What?" When Mikhail, who was nervous about Juvelian's matter, asked groaningly, the subordinate opened his mouth.

"They say she's looking for poison." Mikhail frowned at the remark and stroked his chin.

"Poison..." Mikhail thought of the first person the empress would remove, and soon smiled.

'Maybe the Empress will clean up the Crown Prince.'

Unexpected earnings made Mikhail feel better again.

'So, you said that the princess might be a wizard, too, right?'

He had a general idea of how to use the princess. Mikhail lifted the corners of his mouth.

'I'll get my mana, my Juvelian, and my throne.'

Soon, Mikhail opened his mouth.

"I'll stop by the Princess' palace tomorrow." His subordinate asked Mikhail's words in wonder.

"What? What brings you to the Princess' palace?"

"I want to see if the knights of the Crown Prince's commission are doing well. One in ten thousand..." Soon Mikhail stopped the twisted arsenic. "If you abandoned your duty, you'll be punished." Paphnil, who was watching Mikhail, lifted the corners of his mouth.

[On the day my damned son founded this goddamned country, something interesting is going to happen.]

'You're going to protect me.'

Regis soon stared at his daughter with a worried look.

'Why would you say such a thing, what if you were caught by the emperor?'
