That’s right, he had to go to the concubinage.

Meanwhile, Burke thought Cade was the problem. How far did he stay away from women? It would be the first time in history that an emperor had kept his virginity.

“That is also true. This. This. And take all of that. And when Lacust arrives, make sure to come to me at any time.”

“..Why am I taking these?”

“Why are you taking it? To help you spend a long night together.”

“Then Lady Lyla’s..”

“Shh. Do you really want to know about the Emperor’s night situation?”

Burke held back the word “crazy” to himself. It was the Emperor’s night. It was an area he didn’t want to know at all. Burke licked his lips.

He didn’t even know why he was doing this.

What the hell was so amazing about Lady Abella?

Burke sighed and grabbed what Cade had pointed to. A bunch of papers were placed in his arms.

“Burke? And, of course, the Emperor’s night affairs must be well controlled, right?”

“..Yes, that was also my job. With this document, I will take on the role of an evil aide tormenting His Majesty the Emperor.”

“Perfect.”

He didn’t know why Cade’s compliments weren’t so pleasing.

New lights were lit to illuminate the Imperial Palace. A red light was lit in the palace where Lyla was staying, and a bright orange light was lit in the office where the sleepless emperor’s aides were gathered. The night of the Imperial Palace secretly rolling in the dark had just begun.

Everyone was looking into each other’s eyes.

Their minds were occupied the entire night with figuring out which line to stand in while observing Cade’s movements.

At dawn the next day, the still silence could not be broken until the emperor’s guest arrived.

*

“I don’t need you to come like this.”

“That’s not going to happen. There is no reason to not do a play like this.”

Cade grinned.

Lyla’s eyes swarmed with venomous poison as she glared at Cade. Her situation became the same. In front of the emperor, the noble girl was nothing.

Lyla was humiliated and forced to kneel on the floor. It was the seat appointed by the emperor himself.

‘You sit there and figure out what you should and shouldn’t do.’

What to do and what not to do.

It was obvious that this had to do with Abella Amerigo.

‘Do you think I’m going to give up on this?’

Abella, who caused this to happen, must be put to death. Lyla shrewdly shook her head and looked up at the Emperor.

“..Are you paving the way now?”

“Hmm.”

“I wondered if you might be cleaning up your surroundings while waiting for the day when Lady Abella will become the owner of this imperial castle.”

That was the conclusion that Lyla reached after being imprisoned in this palace. The emperor was using Lyla to organize the noble forces, and trying to clean up this imperial castle for Abella.

Lyla looked into Cade’s eyes, smiling like a fox.

“I don’t think we’re going to meet face to face with a smile.”

Cade pulled off Lyla’s smile.

A chilling rage fell upon Lyla.

“Besides, whatever I try to do with the Lady, is that something you should be concerned about? You’re just a tool to me.. You’re also trying to get something out of me, aren’t you?”

“What do you say I get?”

Lyla snapped back.

He thought it was amazing that she was trying to use it so confidently.

“You will know the subject. Wouldn’t it give you the strength to think about what to do and what not to do, and give yourself a chance to survive?”

Cade wondered why he had to have such a pointless conversation with her.

Actually, it was just the two of them right now. It would have been more convenient to kill Lyla by accusing her of some trivial matter. Cade clicked his tongue.

“..Don’t bother me, Lady. Since Lady fell into my hands, there are many things I can do with you. In this room, I could fall down from eating the food that the Lady gave me.”

Lyla’s face turned pale.

This was why Cade was dangerous. This man had a vicious side that didn’t choose any means. And Cade showed it off against Lyla. His mad eyes would never turn to Abella!

And Lyla was convinced that her guess was correct; Cade’s goal was to make Abella the Empress.

Damn it.

She would really be used to mop the floor and then be get rid of.

A chill ran down the back of her neck.
