Sally and Leon left, and Arthur carefully wiped Grace's tear-stained face.

"Now tell me everything. What did you find out, and why you were grieving?"

"...... Yes, I see."

Grace nodded at Arthur, who sniffed fiercely and looked at her affectionately.

Arthur smiled lightly as if he was cute, and he grabbed her and sat her down on the soft bed, and then he sat down next to her. Then she leaned her head over his shoulder.

Grace, who gently raised her arms and hugged Arthur's waist tightly, gathered courage and slowly opened her mouth as he gently brushed her hair.

"...... I mean, that's it."

Arthur listened in silence as her voice continued. And on, until Grace tells her all the truth she's found.

When Grace had finished telling him all the truth he had seen, heard, and discovered, Arthur had an indescribable look on his face.

He had to admit with difficulty that the man behind the things that had stigmatized him was the emperor whom he had believed to have been moderated and trusted all along.

Grace said cautiously, running her fingers across Arthur's hardened mouth.

"...... I am sorry. It's a big shock, isn't it?"

Arthur replied with a wry grin.

"It's nothing compared to the shock you felt. I was just a little surprised. That Leon has the ability to read magical languages, and that the Emperor is behind it all."

"...... Arthur."

"Are you okay with that?"

Arthur reached out and lovingly stroked Grace's tear-stained cheek. She replied with a smirk.

"I'm fine. It's even a shame."

"Sorry?"

"Yes, I feel like all the regrets that were left of us are gone."

Grace's eyes sparkled with a chill as she replied to Arthur.

I wanted to stop these cruel people who took the lives of innocent people for the sake of power and had no remorse. And he could no longer stand by and watch his greed hurt him and those he cared about.

Grace asked Arthur, who looked at her with a sad face.

"...... Arthur. How far can you go for me? Do you love me enough to give everything you have?"

"Whatever you say, just say it. If you want, I'll give you everything I have."

Arthur replied without hesitation, and Grace smiled sweetly. Her smile signified her extreme love for her husband in front of her, and at the same time, she vowed to take revenge on those who had brought her and the person in front of her into a stigma that bordered on death and death.

Grace said, staring at Arthur with eyes like blazing blue flames.

"If so, help me. I can't forgive those people who stigmatized you and killed me twice."

"...... Grace."

"I will repay them for the same pain and humiliation that me, you, and Leon have suffered. No, that's not enough. I have to take all the share of the people they have taken their lives and driven me into madness. Arthur, can you help me?"
