SILOTHIACN

CHAPTER 7

There was no justification for finding a marriage partner as well.

If the Second Empress had died, the First Empress would have reached out to use her officially.

Even if she was in a situation where she was sick and living in her own palace, she said something because her biological mother was alive.

If anything goes wrong with Titania, the emperor will be furious that her marriage to the Castrine family will go wrong.

Powerful people are only looking for each other on the outside so that they don't make a mistake.

But if I were the 'original' Titania, I wouldn't have asked my fiance for an escort because I didn't have anywhere to go.

The original Titania Solkite Hamastion wanted to be seen as a proud imperial princess more than anyone else in front of her fiance, Rayman.

Therefore, even though she neither listened nor spoke much, she was angry at the attitude from the Duke of Castrine and always thought of him looking down at her, who had the emperor’s affection.

In fact, the emperor, who had no interest in the Titania, would only look at her face once for every excuse of meeting her fiance, to put more pressure on the duke.

There was no way to tell her fiance that she was in a situation where she had no proper escort or a maid to trust.

The most surprising thing was the last remark.

"With people who can kill and save people."

Apparently, it was a sign to send someone who could handle drugs, poison, and swords. This was in a sense…an expression of willingness to make a deal and trust the Duke of Castrine.

Whatever the princess instructs the people sent by the Duke of Castrine, the contents will go to the duke.

Furthermore, even if they conspire and are overturned by the imperial princess, the imperial princess will be punished.

If the Imperial Princess says to hurt the person who helps the Duke of Castrine, they may disobey the Imperial Princess' order or harm the Imperial Princess on the contrary.

I'll take all those risks.

The eyes of me looking down at the teacup broken by my own hands were faint.

(Third person pov)

It was a strange thing. To Rayman, the imperial princess was more shabby than anytime he had ever seen her. Her hair, which had always been well-maintained, lost its light and drooped weakly, and the white jade-like skin also lost its vitality and was pale.

Nevertheless, the shining eyes under the thin and long eyelashes were especially clear. Like a wounded beast laughing with a lump of poison.

"…Maybe what I’ve seen so far was acting."

"What? Isn't that even crazier?"

Cassian literally jumped up and down.

"Wouldn't it be better to say that a complete stranger is suddenly acting with the face of the princess?"

"No matter how feeble she is... The royal family was blessed with light. There was such an immunity."

The imperial family was the only heir to the power of light in this era.

Even in nature, it is a power to "govern" all forces, so if you can properly realize and draw out your strength, it means that even Duke Castrine can kneel down.

The possibility of realization was close to zero, but anyway, the weak power of light is still power.

The royal family was not subjected to private sorcery or witchcraft. It's no good if you take a poison that's a little bit dangerous enough to overcome it, or if you get your throat cut off.
