[Frederick Dukedom]As the Duke learned that his little sister had been a victim of Charlotte, the information on his hand trembled.The body was hardly recognizable, according to the report, but it would be respectfully sent to the Dukedom.Verena, who had told everything to the Duke, and saying more and more of the dark activities of the Imperial Family made the Duke angry.He was enraged with the Emperor, who had promised to assist him in finding his little sister, but it turned out that he was merely acting and concealing the facts as if it was nothing."He must be laughing behind your back."Verena continued, causing him to lose control of his rage."I-I have to get rid of that monster..."He gritted his teeth in frustration, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable rage.The duke's feelings of betrayal by the person he serves drives him insane. He intends to assassinate and torture the Imperial Family as soon as po

[2nd Prince's Palace]The Empress, Kalliste sat face to face with Azazel, a delighted smile on her face.Azazel, on the other hand, was different; his gaze was vacant, and his hands were dripping with sweat.Kalliste had informed him about how she had viciously killed Olivier after he had entered her office without permission.Of course, that was just act to drew Azazel's anger."... Azazel, you should have educated your dog. It goes the same for everyone."Her eyes narrowed as she calmly sipped a cup of tea, continuing to infuriate Azazel.Azazel was beyond outraged, to the point that he couldn't even speak.They were laughing behind the Empress' back only a few days before, but now the Empress was laughing right in front of him.After hearing it from the person he despises, he was distraught."Oh my Azazel~ no need to be that surprised. Didn't I come here as you requested and speak with you face to face?"

"Did the rumors reach you?""About the Crown Prince being a paedophile?""Yes, yes! That!""Even rumors stated he raped a number of children!""It was obvious to me! Not only the aristocrats are wrong in their head, even the Crown Prince, the future of this Empire is the same kind of trash!""... we're doomed.""His second highness is fitting to the throne! While the Crown Prince is hiding inside his room, he brings many victories!""You're right!"Thanks to Azazel by spreading such rumors according to the information Olivier gave, it became a hot topic overnight.Everyone was talking about it till it reached the ears of the Empress.The Empress, who had heard everything, turned to face Crown Prince Drystan with a frown on her face."...... both his majesty and I keep your filthy secret so carefully hidden... just how?!!"Drystan, who was terrified by the Empress, responded with a shake of his head.

(Never seek for forgiveness from someone who isn't worthy.)(There are more dark secrets hidden within this Empire than you could ever think.)(Just kill anyone who is in your way.)(Bring no mercy to those who wronged you.)When they spent time together, Azazel was reminded of all the things Verena had said.He always carries all of those words close to his heart in order to make her happy.As Azazel predicted, the citizens began to distrust the Imperial Family after receiving frequent bad news from them.While Azazel was on his way, he locked Verena in his room and guarded her from the outside by the twins.Verena was, of course, taken aback. She couldn't bring herself to question Azazel because he didn't waste any more time with his new plans and left her in the dark.Verena, who was still resting in her room, gently got out of bed, despite the fact that her shoulder discomfort was weighing her down.As soon as

Even though the Empress mysteriously disappeared, causing a stir throughout the Empire, the birthday celebration will go forward without a hitch.Verena, who was still sick at the moment, was incapable of helping. Azazel purposefully fed her sleep pills so that she could relax peacefully.Theodore managed to put the potion on every food that could block the energy inside the body for a day, rendering them unable to use their elemental powers and preventing them from retaliating.Everything was completed flawlessly without the Emperor's knowledge.Azazel had a lot of free time because he wasn't permitted to go to the hall to celebrate his birthday as he was an illegitimate child."... We will kill 30 households as planned." Azazel faced his own group, which had been separated into teams. He led them, as well as placing the scroll of the palace's structure."You can take care of the west gate."He gave the instruction, and
