Lelia looked blankly at Emperor Perseus and bowed her head.

"..."

In the original novel, she was a tool made for an episode for something.

The first was to show how fussy Juliana's brothers were, and the second was this.

The person who caused great hurt and sorrow to Emperor Perseus.

In short, she was a wasteful character. An unfortunate supporting role for Perseus.

In the original, Emperor Perseus learns the truth long after Lelia dies.

When he comes to know about her, he greatly suffers and falls into despair... Juliana, the adopted daughter, comforts him and becomes a hope for him to live again.

[Honestly, I don't want to think of him as my real father, but....]

She had been looking away on purpose so far, but seeing him in front of her made her feel strange. It wasn't like her brothers who were just kids.

"Your eyes resemble that man."

The man whom Princess Iris loved, the knight's eyes were light-green, similar to Lelia's.

And Elizabeth, Perseus' late wife and Lelia's biological mother, also had beautiful eyes resembling Peridot.

"..."

Lelia looked up again at Perseus. He twisted his cheek in agony and soon turned his head.

"Take her back."

Perseus spoke to the servant behind Lelia.

"All right, Your Majesty."

The servant immediately approached Lelia and pulled her from the back. It was rude to treat the royal family without any politeness.

But no one pointed it out.

The emperor turned his back on the chair as if he were turning away, and other servants and knights just looked at Lelia with a cold stare.

She was speechless.

[What if you regret it later?]

Lelia sneered at Perseus inwardly as she returned to the tower.

In the original, Emperor Perseus belatedly finds out that Lelia is his own daughter and regrets hurting her.

But it was too late to regret. Because Lelia had already died in the story.

Honestly, she thinks it would be better if she could tell the Emperor the truth even now, but...

[There's no way.]

If she says such a thing without proof, she will be treated like a crazy person.

It will never be revealed until the missing nanny shows up.

But there was still a long way to go before the nanny showed up. She didn't mean to wait here in a daze until then.

Before that, she will be used for national marriages.

It will be of no use if she were to be found to be his own daughter after getting married to a strange punk.

[The only way is to escape.]

Lelia returned to the tower determined. She had lost all her energy and lay on the bed.

"I'm tired..."

After she ran into Cedric, Damien, and Emperor Perseus, she had no energy left.

Lelia lay motionless and looked at the ceiling, recalling memories of the story.
