"You heard right. Now that Carlisle cannot escape life as a prince, I must become an empress in order to properly cover my child."
Ellie looked at him with fire in her eyes.
"I am constrained by the status of the daughter of a duke, and my powers have a limit. To oppose the Sios family, I must become an empress."
In her eyes there was a firm determination to uproot the house of the Marquis.
"So, to oppose the Sios family..."
He himself suggested that Ellie return to the throne.
Not just to the throne, but to return to him.
But now it seemed that their plans diverged at one point.
Raymond's half-hearted whisper alerted Ellie.
"I only want to become an empress to end the house of Sios and protect Carlisle. There are no other intentions here. So I hope His Majesty will give me a promise."
"Which?"
"When Marquis Sios falls and Carlisle's position is strengthened, please send me to a place farthest from the capital."
When it's done, let me get away from you.
That's what she told him.
She plunged the dagger into his chest without batting an eye.
Do you have any other intentions?
After all, Raymond didn't care if Carlisle was a child from another.
But Ellie stubbornly drew a divide between them.
Despite the fact that Carlisle turned out to be his son, Ellie told Raymond that she did not want to have him in her future.
Shall we unite just to fight a common enemy?
"What if I don't let you in later?"
"Will you abdicate the throne again?"
"Won't you think about Carlisle?"
If she cares so much for the child, the best place for her is on the throne.
The empress's power was of great help to Carlisle.
Although he knew it was mean to ask such a question, he wanted to keep Ellie even this way.
Ellie looked at him menacingly, and moved her dry lips.
"Don't you dare use Carlisle in front of me. This is beneath the dignity of the emperor."
He had nothing to fend off such cold words.
She was right.
"You are the emperor, so decide. If you say a word against it, I'll leave."
Everything turned out exactly the opposite. Now Ellie had the initiative in this relationship, and Raymond got only the reaction.
Because he could not miss her again.
"I will declare you empress."
"Thank you, sire."
That's the whole dialogue with her.
After the conversation, he returned to his office in order to take care of the problems of Duke Drua and immediately issued a decree concerning the empress and the new prince.
Soon the people of the empire will find out about Carlisle, and Ellie will return to the palace.
"Phew..."
