"Was it such a shock that you went into hiding for 10 years? It's not like I stabbed you in the back."

Deceiver just turned on the guy. He didn't even stab him in the back. He remained a son and disciple until the end. He didn't harm Raven, he just revealed his identity.

Nevertheless, Raven was shocked and went into hiding for 10 years. As Deceiver, he couldn't understand.

"... Yes, you are this kind of guy."

A twisted demigod who does not think that deception itself is a problem.

In the past, when he didn't know anything, he accepted these aspects that occasionally surfaced, thinking it was just because he was young and ignorant, but not anymore. Raven's eyes sank.

'I would feel better if he stabbed me in the back and shamelessly smacked me in the face like he said.'

What's the point of getting angry about this?

A low, self-deprecating laugh leaks out as if he is in despair. He slowly withdrew his hand and answered calmly, as if explaining something to an inexperienced child.

"There's no way I wouldn't be shocked to hear that the person I gave my heart to was my enemy. Besides—"

A mockery seeped into his cold, frozen voice.

"How can I remain calm when I knew from the beginning that you had planned and deceived me?"

"Are you shocked because I am your 'enemy'?"

"I was shocked because 'you' were my enemy."

'You', not anyone else, deceived him.

He was so shocked that the relationship between them was not a coincidence, but a planned relationship planned by the enemy. Raven, who had given Deceiver his heart enough to adopt him, collapsed in sadness instead of standing up in anger.

He thought he had run as hard as he could, but when he looked around, he realized that the situation at square one had also contributed to his failure.

"Of course not now."

He shook his hands off without any hesitation and walked away.

Deceiver, who was staring at Raven, slowly stood up. After tidying up his clothes and shaking them off a few times, he opened his mouth in a neat manner, as if asking when he had behaved as he wanted.

"You must have been exhausted from the long journey, so it would be a good idea to rest for now. We will continue the deeper conversation later. 

"I will give you the VIP room."

The emperor, who had been paying close attention to the statement that signaled the end of the conversation, quickly responded. Deceiver's brow twitched.

"It's just a VIP room."

He shook his head firmly.

"He is your father and Master. Wouldn't it be right to give up the most beautiful palace?"

"You..."

"For example, the Eastern Palace."

It's so beautiful that it's hard to find a suitable name for it, so it's just called the East Palace.

It has become a palace where the emperor, who cherishes his sister more than anything else in the world, gives it to his sister, the emperor with his beloved wife gives it to the empress, and the emperor with his favorite concubine gives it to her to prove the emperor's favor. 

At the mention of such a place, the face of the current emperor, Kian Ardal, hardened.

"Eastern Palace... What do you mean? But that place... ."
