Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 68

"If you imprison me here, nothing will change."

The cool, solid voice suddenly took the Emperor back to that day ten years ago. To the time when the Princess, who was always full of bright smiles next to the Grand Duke, looked at him with an expressionless expression like a portrait in front of him.

"Well. I think differently from the Princess."

"This is Grand Duchess Vikander."

The Princess's eyes were still bright as she interrupted the Emperor, who had been leisurely shrugging his shoulders. The Emperor blinked for a moment. Although it is only a painting, it has a cool elegance that overwhelms the viewer, just like the Princess the Emperor desired...

Even so, the Grand Duke was now dead, and all his great strength was useless in front of the Emperor's power. This was the imperial palace, and he was the eternal monarch of this Empire. The Emperor, who was alternately thinking about the past and present, smiled generously. So at that time, the Emperor was said to have subtly offered his fortune as if showing generosity.

"If you want to deny your domicile like that, I can give you my other identity, Princess."

The Emperor was willing to give the Princess everything if she would only say so. His heart pounded with anticipation. If only people said that the Princess's slanted lips were good...

"If you want to remind us of Lowell's former glory, let me tell you one thing, too."

The cool voice rang out as clearly as the melody of a beautiful song.

"Lowell has many interesting legends. The most mysterious of them all is the story of a person who spoke with sincerity in a noble voice. Aren't you curious? If you sing with all your heart, what happens?"

Knock. Knock.

The emperor's face contorted as he was awakened from his memory by a knock on the door from beyond his bedroom. No matter how much the Grand Duchess seemed to reject him, it was a memory of the woman he wanted so much.

The Emperor, who was furious and said he would not leave anyone alone, soon sighed. If he think about it, there were few people who would knock on the Emperor's bedroom at this time of night.

The Emperor roughly draped his drapery over the portrait. He looked regretfully at the place where the Princess was hiding and then approached the door. And when he opened the door. It's the Empress.

"What are you doing this night?"

Annoyance was evident in the Emperor's soft voice. But the Empress looked into the bedroom with her sorrowful face and said,

"Your Majesty, I couldn't wait for the long night, and as a mother who hadn't seen my daughter for several days, I rushed to her in despair. I heard that the Princess had arrived."

"You're a step late, Empress. Reina has already returned to her palace a long time ago."

The Emperor spoke bluntly. At this point, he was confident that the Empress would return. But the Empress smiled like the little girl and she entered the Emperor's bed chamber. The Emperor raised his eyebrows sharply at the sight of her intruding on his space without permission.

"Because it's dark at night. I'm sure you won't send me back here, right?"

The Emperor's brow relaxed at the captivating voice. Seeing that his mood had calmed down, the Empress covered her mouth and smiled softly...

"It is said that a wizard who can cast preservation spells entered Your Majesty's bedroom."

In the middle of the night, the Empress, recalling the servant's words, slowly opened her eyes. After confirming that the sound of heavy breathing could be heard regularly from next to her, the Empress raised her upper body. It must be over there.
