"It seems His Majesty has given him a lot of affection, considering how seriously he is investigating this matter." The crooked smile on Carlothian's face remained unyielding. "Moreover, it appears he visited the palace the day before the incident occurred." "I’ve never heard such a thing." "You will hear it soon." He said quietly to the investigator. "Before long, it will spread widely in high society." In an instant, he erased his expression and stood up. The Emperor—just thinking…-

To be honest, having a solution right in front of me and just leaving it there isn’t easy at all. I’m a woman who has to solve everything. Whoosh. As I entered the dome, I shivered with a chill that swept over my body, letting out a small "ugh." The world before my eyes was, as expected, a black world that seemed to have inverted colors, just like the last dome. But even amidst that, the trees immediately caught my eye. They were much darker, emanating a disturbing energy. Just as I was about to…

He smiled at me with his darkened eyes. As I looked into those eyes, I thought. Ah, we shouldn't just kill him. He should die slowly, in agony. Carlothian must have thought the same. ☪︎ ִ ࣪𖤐 𐦍 ☾𖤓 ☪︎ ִ ࣪𖤐 𐦍 ☾𖤓 Having dealt with both domes in the temple, we decided to return to the palace. Alright, I had taken the painkillers, changed into comfortable pants, and even brought Carlothian. Everything was ready. While I was checking various things alone, Carlothian…

NMRJKM Chapter 141 Carlothian held the sword. The one who made this happen. He had known it all along. If he had suspected the Emperor from the beginning, if he hadn't acted foolishly, she could have been saved. Such an event wouldn't have happened. Perhaps she could have gently taken his hand by now. Arriving at the Imperial Palace with his sword drawn, he looked at the soldiers who tried to stop him with empty, hollow eyes. The tip of the sword aimed at him looked dull. He felt no fear. Only the…

Time passed. Seth Dolorante had come to the mansion for his appointment with Ariadeline. However, the one who welcomed him was not Ariadeline, but a man whose shadows seemed particularly deep today: Carlothian Denaves. "Where is Lady Ariadeline?" The man, who had been busy revealing his teeth at the sight of Seth Dolorante, replied with calm, sunken eyes. "……She has matters to attend to and said to wait in the reception room." "Is that so?" "Yes." Seth Dolorante felt a strange chill as…

We rode in the carriage, fleeing from the dome in a straight line. Inside the carriage, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard; no one dared to speak. Suddenly, the dome grew larger. The scene of the dome devouring the palace like a hungry monster was still vivid in my mind. It felt like something was happening that we could not stop. No, something was happening that we could not comprehend. I took a moment to catch my breath and looked around the carriage. Everyone visible in the carriage had…

Haha, this is something. I looked around with a bewildered expression. I was left alone in this bizarre world that seemed to have inverted colors. What the hell, to be left all alone in a place like this. "Ugh." I need to find a way out. The room with the holy relics wasn’t particularly large. From the door that looked like the entrance to the room where the holy relics were kept, it seemed that the darkness had encroached even to the entrance as it swallowed me. I slowly surveyed my surroundings.…

At those words, I blinked. Ah, well. That is true. If it’s the blood of those with divine power, I should at least gather some of it; if only my blood is effective, I would have to struggle alone for many days to collect it. "……But that’s the only method we have." "No." "Huh?" "No." Carlothian looked down at me with a serious expression. Shadows fell across his face. "I don’t want you to get hurt." "Uh..." That’s true. Of course, he wouldn’t want that. Thinking about it, if it were…

I was not yet ready to look Carlothian in the eye. I didn’t hear anything from outside for a while, unsure how he had taken my words. Then his voice came through. "...I want to have breakfast together." "..." I also paused before responding to that voice. I could see Dolly fidgeting beside me, gauging the situation. I bit my lip. "No, separately..." "M-Madam..." As I tried to reject him, Dolly intervened. Her eyebrows drooped, forming a curve. I sighed at her face. Yes, it would be…

NMRJKM Chapter 133 The Emperor opened his eyes wide and scanned the surroundings. He saw nothing. Yet, he was certain he felt something. There was definitely something in the room—or rather, something around him. As evidence, he found himself unable to move, as if pressed down by a weight. "……!" He tried to make a sound, but no words came out. Then, a voice whispered in his ear. A chill ran down his spine in an instant. What he heard in his cold ear was: It was the voice of his daughter,…

There was a strange feeling, a sense that this wouldn't be the end. For now, Carlothian was moved to another room to continue his treatment. Fortunately, all the poison was neutralized by my divine power, and I only heard that fatigue would come from the blood he had vomited. "…Do you have any idea who might be behind this?" I sat beside him, looking down at him. At those words, Carlothian made a vague expression. "There are too many possibilities." "Even though the Duke of Denaves has many…

"Cough!" It hurts. It hurts. I pushed the sword deeper into my throat to end the pain. I could feel the assassin letting go of the hilt, not expecting my action. Ah, well, thank you then. I thrust the sword into my neck. "Gah…" I felt my eyes roll back. Thud. My body, losing balance, fell beneath the carriage. The pain in my neck was so intense that I couldn’t feel any other pain. Ah, my vision is fading. I closed my eyes. Slowly, I opened them again. "Oh, I’m back." Clatter,…

Seth frowned at the shirt tightening around his neck. He soon realized that the Emperor's eyes were not normal. "...Why are you so obsessed with that bloodline?" "Obsessed? Yes, I suppose it is an obsession." The Emperor tightened his grip on Seth Dolorante's collar even more. "Gah...!" "But I don’t need to tell you why." The Emperor threw him onto the sofa, slowly turning his back. Seth Dolorante coughed roughly as he leaned on the sofa. He recalled the Emperor's dark, piercing…

Clunk, clunk. The carriage shook violently once. It seemed that a stone had gotten caught in the wheel. There was no conversation between the two heading to the temple. Ariadeline didn't particularly want to talk, and Carlothian kept watching her intently. "…Do you have any idea?" "No, not really." "...I see." As he fell silent, the inside of the carriage was once again enveloped in silence. Carlothian couldn't take his eyes off Ariadeline, who was staring out the carriage window. She…

Ariadeline bit her teeth together to regain her composure. "Let go of Madam! What is this? Let go!" She could see her maid, Dolly, being caught by the Marquis's maids. Ariadeline struggled to lift her body, but it felt as if she had taken a paralysis drug; her mind grew more and more distant, and her fingertips wouldn’t move as she wished. "When you wake up, everything will be over." The chilling voice of Dolorante, scraping against her eardrums, was the last sound she heard. Seth Dolorante…

Knock, knock, knock. How many times did the droplets fall? My entire body was soaked in something. I was just hanging limp, exhaling ragged breaths in various colors. I could hear Carlothian's voice calling me in a hoarse tone. Ah, aaah. Just end it. Kill me. But then, the masked man spoke. "Sing." Clatter. "You can sing to heal yourself, right?" No. "Come on." But before I could refuse, something sharp dug into my skin again. I sang like a scream. A cursed divine power surged up,…
