Eugene reminisced about the past, his expression turning into a frown.

Back then when Eullian came to Vena Church, he had a drastic change but he didn't notice it much because, in his mind, Eullian is still the same, an unsightly person. Only when Eullian set his sights on Chantall did he descend into madness, issuing a vehement warning for Eullian to stay in his designated place.

Although Eullian had fallen in love with Chantall, the constraints of Eullian's saintly status rendered marriage an impossibility.

Amidst this frenzy, Eullian merely grinned at him, remarking, "You've finally acknowledged my existence." This remark fueled his ire, resulting in a forceful slap to his younger brother.

Such an event transpired within the Marquis Household, and due to Eullian's revered status, repercussions were inevitable. The Marquis and Marchioness were incensed, subsequently subjecting him to punishment. He found himself confined within a dim chamber, his limbs bound, compelling him to contemplate his actions.

Before departure, Eullian paid him a visit.

Restricted in movement, he could only acquiesce to Eullian's embrace and heed his younger brother's words.

"Brother, that woman – how could you harbor affection for someone of her ilk?"

"Eullian!"

Eugene discerned the depths of Eullian's affections. Hence, after an extensive period of strategizing, amid the turmoil engulfing the empire and the Marquis family's demise following the passing of the Marquis and Marchioness, Eugene orchestrated revenge. He killed Clarence, absconding to evade pursuit from the El Domanio clan.

His intuition proved accurate, for following Clarence's demise, Eullian succumbed to madness and took his [Eullian] own life.

Observing Eugene lost in contemplation, Kaizer clasped his hand.

"Casimin, the empire is no longer peaceful. The absence of the duke and the marquis will hold the status of the two households. However, post the cede ceremony, nobody will muster the courage to take action."

Casimin was well aware, hence he remained patient.

"At this moment, scrutinize all the nobles affiliated with the crown prince's faction, as well as those who frequent the palace. If the situation spirals out of control, the empire will seal its borders and ready itself for an impending civil conflict."

Eugene crooned softly.

"The imminent civil conflict might pave the way for a subsequent war as neighboring realms exploit the vulnerability of the empire. If possible, we should exert every effort to evade such a scenario. The uprising led by the second prince offers us a golden opportunity to confront those concealed in shadow."

Kaizer assented with a nod.

"The second prince meticulously orchestrated the rebellion to safeguard the populace from harm. His strategy involves infiltrating the palace, apprehending the empress and the crown prince, all the while enticing the adversaries."

Casimin regarded the two with astonishment evident in his gaze and spoke in a voice tinged with incredulity.

"You two..." He halted briefly, then shook his head. "Forget it."

Why did he experience a sense of dread when confronted by these two individuals in the midst of political and war-related conversations? It was as if such encounters were a regular happening, which was indeed the case, yet their tranquility suggested a deep-seated anticipation and mastery of handling the situations.
