“Don’t you get it? My son is your husband’s child.”
I became Empress against my will, carrying the burdens my sick sister couldn’t handle. Yet, all I received in return was betrayal and pain.
“If you want to bear my child, you should grovel like you’re ready to lick the wine spilled on my shoe, or be prepared to fall into my arms whenever, wherever.”
I decided to divorce the man I had tried so hard to love out of duty.

I had finished preparing to leave my sister and my emperor husband, but strangely, I no longer wanted to go.
“If you leave here, please be sure to tell everyone you’ve seen my face without the blindfold.”
“Eh? What do you mean all of a sudden…?”
Startled, I opened my eyes wide, but thanks to the hand covering my eyes, I couldn’t see Myrse’s face. Every time I blinked, my eyelashes brushed against Myrse’s palm.
Standing behind me with eyes still covered, Myrse said,
“Lady Isoletti, you are more beautiful than I could ever have imagined, even with my eyes closed.”
It was because of my ex-husband’s stepbrother.
