“…….” “Of course, it’s just a theory, and it would be difficult to make it happen in reality…” The fingers that had pressed against his chest moved upward. As they passed over his clavicle and Adam’s apple, and then gripped his chin, Yudit behaved like a tamed animal, docile and obedient. “Considering that you’re a puppet emperor, isn’t it flawless beyond expectations?” “…….” No matter how much he thought about it, this person was strange. He could come…- 396.9 K • Completed
- “That’s not it…” “Enough. I understand that you thought of me as some clueless old man stuck in the back room. I won’t show my face for a while, so the Prince should accept the outcome and reflect on it.” “…I understand.” Reginald lowered his head. The Emperor clicked his tongue and turned away. This was the first humiliation Reginald had ever experienced. The Emperor did not hide his displeasure and walked angrily out of the hall. All the nobles and reporters were watching. If…

- Yudit slept through the entire morning and only woke up in the afternoon. By the time he woke, the delegation had already left. Wadiram had also mentioned that he would accompany them only to the border. Yudit wondered if he would stay at the imperial palace in Adanauer, but that was not the case. He had rented a house separately and would stay there. He mentioned that he had to rent a warehouse anyway, given how many things Azil had given him, and invited Yudit to visit once everything was sorted…

- Yudit. A name that softened the heart just by pronouncing it. Their first meeting had been strange from the start. Though he was a prince, he mingled among the servants. Even at Reginald’s banquet, he hadn’t been invited, instead watching them from a neighboring building until he was discovered. Huyan had thought him an assassin, or at least a spy of Adanauer—but he turned out to be a prince of Adanauer. He didn’t seem to be treated like a prince, though. When Huyan learned he had held a…

- “Hey, Huyan. Why would you say that? I was going to say it myself.” “……?” “I’m sorry, Your Highness. The truth is, I already knew. I just wanted to see how far you’d go for us, so I acted a bit spoiled. But you really did everything for us.” “……I see.” “So, there’s no need to worry.” “If Your Highness had even looked slightly displeased or angry, I would’ve stopped right away. But you didn’t. I honestly wondered if you were really a prince.” Yudit…

- “…….” It had been an oddly vivid dream. Even after waking, Yudit couldn’t collect his thoughts for a while. Just then, someone approached him. As if by habit, Yudit reached between the bed and mattress, clutching his dagger close. “Your Highness, you’re awake?” The nanny approached with a damp towel in her hands. Was he still dreaming? “Nanny, wasn’t your leave until tomorrow?” “It was. But I came back early. Your Highness has been pushing himself too hard lately. I…

- “By the way… it seems like you two are quite close.” At Khalid’s words, Yudit swallowed dryly. Bashur opened his mouth to diffuse the situation. “Well, we have a student-teacher relationship. We’ve known each other for a long time, so it might seem that way.” “Is that so? I almost mistook you two for lovers when I saw you earlier.” Khalid’s words made Bashur burst into laughter. “You’re quite the jokester. I’m already married with two children. Besides, His Highness…

- “Is the dance performed when it rains something that is set in tradition?” “Of course. There is a dance that has been passed down through the family for generations. If you get it wrong, you’ll be punished quite harshly.” “Is, is that so?” Wadiram said with an expression that was hard to tell whether he was joking or serious. “It’s a joke.” Wadiram chuckled, and with a hearty laugh, he ran ahead, still a bit tipsy from the beer. “I’ll show it to Yudit…

- After Yudit crawled out of the hole, he stood up and brushed off his robe. It had dirt all over it from crawling, but since the clothes weren’t that clean to begin with, it didn’t matter. Yudit adjusted his robe, pressing it down, and blended into the crowd. As Yudit looked around the market, he made his way to the candy shop at the corner of an alley. The shop had no customers, probably because of the almost completely faded sign or the cobwebbed display case. Even the shopkeeper was missing, so…

- “…What did you say?” “As Wadiram mentioned before, the desert can hide one person easily,” Huyan said with a serious expression. Yudit realized that he was being sincere. “…Why?” “Because if you stay here, you’ll die.” “…” “You did mention that when someone ascends to the throne in Adanauer, all their siblings are killed, right?” Yudit understood that Huyan was genuinely concerned for him, which softened the wound left by his earlier words. “The prince…
