After some time, the Emperor married Fron again.
Froon had no support in social circles, was outspoken and uncultured.
As a former mercenary who started from scratch, she often uttered words that nobles might find offensive.
Naturally, there were many objections, but the Emperor ignored them all.
“The only person who can oppose my marriage is Kiaros.
But Kiaros gave permission.”
These words also strengthened Chiaros's position as caliph.
After he survived the dark period, no one doubted his outstanding talent.
He told Emperor Chiaros a secret.
“Kiaros, I will support your first love as well.
Whoever that girl is, there will be no opposition from the imperial family.”
Although this was not known to the outside world, this was how Kiaros was able to escape the obligation of marriage.
The Emperor even came forward and silenced the mutterings about his engagement.
“My son was abnormally obsessed with a girl whose hair he never saw...but I still respect him.”
It was too late to correct the Emperor's misunderstanding.
Kiaros decided to become an abnormally obsessed man for the sake of his family's peace.
Time has passed like this.
“You still haven't found that girl?
But until you find that girl whose face you don't know and with whom you have only exchanged a few words, you won't have any other women?”
“Yes.
Well, that's true.”
“What… my son doesn’t tend to think rationally when it comes to things like this.
But even if I stubbornly persist until I’m old and gray, there’s nothing I can do.
Everything can’t be perfect.
I will always respect and love you, my son.”
Kiaros wasn't planning to go this far, but somehow it happened.
However, he believed that the problem would be solved once he found that girl.
Time continued to pass.
A child was born between Fron and the Emperor.
Chiaros gained a much younger brother.
Time passed again.
The mighty Emperor began to suffer from an inexplicable illness, which made him suffer.
Even if 15 years have passed..
“I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
I still… have no idea.”
Chiaros could not find the girl.
“Wouldn’t she have gone to the Magic Tower if she had such talent at this age.”
"But we never know.
Keep looking."
He had to ask the girl who should now be a grown woman.
-Do you still dream of marrying a rich man?
If you want, I will marry you.
Of course it wasn't love or anything like that, but it was a promise he made in exchange for saving his life.
Because of this, he wasn't interested in any woman yet.
'Because I thought I didn't know when I would marry her'
He hasn't thanked her properly yet.
Was this the reason?
[I wanted to thank her personally… Anyway, I'll have to do that next time.]
He wanted to thank his second savior properly.
Namia Rawabi from the Pass Management Department.
What he learned from the girl, and what he could not do for the girl.
[If it's something I don't know exactly, I should at least get an expert's opinion.]
The people around Kiaros said that he was useless, but he ignored them all and directly asked for an opinion from the Magic Tower Master.
After all, the girl once said that he needed to know what exactly he was grateful for.
“If it weren't for the first dark period, I probably wouldn't have known how to thank my subordinates properly.”
He was just going to give praise as the White Knight Commander suggested.
In this sense, as the Emperor said, he had learned a lot thanks to the Dark Period.
‘Is there anything I can gain from this second dark period?’ But the situation is not very good.
It is time to bury the past and focus on the present.
Kiaros didn't know why, but Namiya returned to the Imperial Palace.
She is crying too.
At the same time, the past and present began to connect in Kiaros's mind.
‘The South… If Namiya is the daughter of Baron Rawabi’s younger brother, as the crows deduced, doesn’t that mean Namiya Rawabi was in the South when she was young?’
Kiaros's eyes lit up.
In an instant, a plausible hypothesis passed through his mind.
'Anyway, it was the scroll that saved me both times… If Namibia is that girl, it stands to reason that she doesn't have any record in the south.'
Kiaros frowned slightly as his thoughts continued.
‘The reason she didn’t go to Count Kalto’s mansion at that time was because she had to come to the capital for some reason.’
Although he didn't know why she didn't go to the magic tower.
‘I need to call and check in person.’
There was still a lot he didn't know about her.
But there was no need to guess.
All he had to do was call and ask.
However, as a child, the girl would not have known his identity.
Because he was also hiding his identity at that time.
She may have lived her life without knowing that she had saved the Crown Prince.
'If that girl was growing up... then she had a strange upbringing.'
When Kiaros remembered Namiya's blank expression.
“Your Highness!”
Urgent steps were heard, and without knocking, the door suddenly opened.
“Your Highness, please forgive my insolence!
I have urgent news to report!”
The White Knights Commander hurriedly got down on his knees and shouted.
“Her Majesty the Empress has now been arrested as a criminal.”
“Criminal?”
"Yes!"
Even when he was breathless, he had an expression that told him what was coming.
Well, Chiaros was well aware that everyone was suspicious of the Empress.
“…Mrs.
Fron.”
Mother of Little Prince Jaiden, who was only eight years old, and the Emperor's current wife.
If Kiaros disappeared, Jayden would be able to reach the next throne easily.
"She secretly left the Imperial Palace without a record, and was in possession of a deadly poison.
It was discovered that her contact was very dirty and secretive.
It seemed that she had been searching for specific poisons for a long time."
The leader of the White Knights bowed his head to Kiaros and shouted.
“I think we need to look into the matter urgently and proceed with the Imperial Trial!”
✧✧✧✧✧✧
“I would like to change my salary account.”
“Yes, please sign here.”
I went to the administrative support department and changed my salary account.
Changing accounts was very easy.
“Today, this month’s salary will go here, right?”
"Yes."
I sighed briefly, feeling terrible.
I felt like a lot had changed, but I also felt like nothing had changed.
I felt like the people in support were looking at me, but I didn't have the energy to care.
'Dad...'
As the wages piled up in my account, my guilt towards my father also increased.
I was determined to find my father, but the future looked disappointing.
‘If you are involved in a criminal group... it is really hopeless.’
When I was living in the South with my parents, the South was turned upside down by a criminal organization.
Even His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince came to inspect and clean up the remains of the monsters.
'It has been revealed that some crazy criminal groups conducted forbidden experiments with monsters.'
Then the Emperor beheaded everyone who participated in that criminal group.
Saying that such illegal organizations must be completely eradicated.
To this day, there has been no mercy in punishing illegal organizations.
'It will be difficult for Dad to get leniency as well.
Considering the amount of money he owes, it probably won't be easy.'
First of all, the Dragon People had no blood or tears for those who violated the nation's principles.
Therefore, even if I pleaded with Qiaros, saying, “I saved your life, so please save my father,” there was a high probability that he would not even blink his eyes or care.
‘No matter how much I know the original story, what can I do?
It's about the dragon's forgiveness, and as an ordinary human, there's not even a chance.'
The contrast between the original story and my situation was too great.
Even the main character of the original work, His Highness the eight-year-old Jaeden, faces a lot of trouble at first due to the Dragon Scion's unique arrogance and principled nature...
'However, when you commit a major crime, the only people who can save your life are the Imperial Family… Oh, wait.'
'Wait a minute.'
An idea passed through my head like lightning.
'The imperial family...'
Currently, there was only one member of the imperial family who wasn't a dragon.
'Her Majesty the Empress.'
