"You said you would give me anything I want. Then divorce me."
It was the only way for Lasilia to live.

It seemed like a long time had passed until the third shadow knight's answer was heard.
"I couldn't find it."
"Right."
She had to bite her lip to prevent her sigh of relief from escaping.
"I ask one more question. Was it His Majesty's order?"
"You didn't order it, but you gave permission."
She felt like she knew what happened. Decan came forward to check the magic, and Leskal would not have opposed it. In any case, it was no different from giving his orders. The Emperor also wanted to know why the Empress used a witch doctor.
"Then I can't punish you for getting wet. I will pretend it never happened."
"Yes?"
Decan winced. Lasilia just turned her body around.
"Let's go back."
"Oh, yes. Yes, Your Majesty the Empress." Yvette, who was still dazed, ran after Lasilia.

Yvette couldn't stop worrying until she arrived at the empress' palace.

"Ha, how did this all happen?"
Serben put his sword back in its sheath and shook his head.
"I still can't believe it. Deccan Horsed made a mistake with his spell. Did you eat something wrong? No, it was a mistake, right? Did you have anything stored up with Her Majesty the Empress?"
Serben rubbed his chin, feeling strange even as he spoke.
"No. You have hardly ever met Her Majesty the Empress. What is there to accumulate? No, really. Why are you acting like Ryan?"
