anxious expression on her face.

Her father couldn’t even make a decision, and he felt sorry that there was nothing he could do.

Eventually, Senelia’s mother nodded her head.

She bit her lip hard.

These are the ones sent by the emperor.

Her neck could have flown away if she said something stupid.

Senelia carefully opened her mouth, “Can you wait a moment? It’s an inappropriate outfit to wear to the imperial palace……”

I had no plans to go out today, so I was just wearing a light indoor dress.
But I want to look a little less shabby when I meet the emperor.

“It would be good for His Majesty not to wait too long.”

The knight commander gave a stern warning.

Those words sounded like Senelia should not waste the emperor’s time too long or dare to run away.

I had no intention of doing that in the first place.
Senelia nodded her head diligently.

She said, “I’ll get ready and come out soon.”

After that, Senelia left the mansion in just 10 minutes.

No matter how many maids helped her, it was too short time for a noble girl to dress up.

She was so impatient.

It was fortunate that she did not sprain her foot as she left the mansion.

From the beginning, the road to the imperial family was smooth and unobstructed, as if it was expected that Senelia would not be able to rebel.

Her heart was beating fast.
She wanted to hold onto anyone and ask why is the emperor looking for her.

However, the knights did not give her a glance at all, as if she were not there.

She felt that she had become extremely insignificant.

“After you have said your greetings, you must not open your mouth first until His Majesty permits you.”

Senelia is the daughter of the rural viscount who is too modest to be associated with the imperial family.

She wondered if she would ever go to the imperial palace for the rest of her life.

So Senelia simply nodded her obedient head at the words of the handmaiden.

 

***

 

The door to the audience room opened and then closed again.

As Senelia calmed her trembling voice, she bent her knees and bowed towards the throne.

“Senelia Daphnen, Viscount Daphnen’s daughter, greets the sun of the empire.”

The emperor did not respond to her greeting.

Even though he only had his gaze on Senelia, she felt suffocated by the heaviness of silence.

Just before her posture trembled from her knees bent, the Emperor finally opened his mouth.

“My dear, why didn’t you love Benelucia?”

A random question came out of the emperor’s mouth.

Benelucia Afron.
He is the emperor’s younger brother.

“……yes?”

Without realizing it, Senelia, who asked back in confusion, hurriedly bit her lower lip.

Cliff de Helios.

The man in front of her was a man who ascended to the throne by slaughtering all his blood and leaving only one.

She dared to open her mouth without permission in front of such an emperor.
She couldn’t help but be afraid.

However, the emperor’s words were so absurd.

Senelia is a noblewoman of a small estate.
What does she have to do with Benelucia Afron, the emperor’s younger brother and the empire’s only grand duke?

“You must have been destined to fall in love with Benelucia……”

The emperor’s eyes narrowed.

Cliff’s face was very beautiful, but Senelia thought the way he looked through her was really like a snake.

The horror ran down her spine at this moment.

As a person who slaughtered numerous people and took the throne, his body was huge.

The emperor rose from his seat and approached Senelia.

The steps overflowed with pressure.

Her breath was choked.

The emperor, who had already come close to Senelia, bowed his head.

He asked, looking at Senelia with snake-like eyes, “Are you a thorn of Chloracean?”

It is said that in the beginning there were three gods, Chloe, Race, and Ann, who made the fate of living things.

With their respective spinning wheels, they wove the thread that determines human destiny.

However, sometimes there were beings who twisted the fate set by the three sisters.

Like a thorn unexpectedly popped out of the spinning wheel, it pierces and twists the direction in which the gods spin their threads.

In the Empire, such people were called ‘Thorns of Chloracean’ because it is said they made their own destiny.

And Senelia shouldn’t be able to know the word ‘a thorn of Chloracean’.

Because…… This is because it is a word only the imperial family knows.

‘The Thorn of Chloracean.’

As soon as she heard those words, an unfamiliar landscape flashed through Senelia’s mind.

The tall gray buildings and four-wheeled vehicles move without magical power.

And while crossing those square buildings, a brunette woman was hit by a fast-moving truck at night……

It was her.

The book that had fallen from her hand rolled over the blood-soaked street.

On the cover of the book was written《The Thorn of Chloracean》.

“God, you really are a thorn of Chloracean.”

An eerie smile appeared on the emperor’s lips.

I have to live.
