Zerkan's expression as he entered the drawing room was subtle.

"You already said hello."

To that, Sir Lorelian answered with a ferocious smile.

"Yes, my lord. I was waiting for His Majesty, and he said that his friends had come, so I came to say hello. This is the woman I was talking about in the letter who will be my wife."

"Hello, my name is Anna. It is an honor to meet such precious people."

Sir Lorelian proudly introduced the noble woman standing next to him.

As Zerkan bowed her head slightly, a woman named Anna carefully bowed down with a very shy face.

Even if she pretended to be, she was a pure, innocent, shy girl with a lot of shame.

By the way... Why is your back so cold?

'For a moment.'

Raphine looked at her and wrinkled her brow.

This is because the content she saw in the original 'Pak!' ran through her mind.

'Yes, the Empress's youngest sister brought her!'

As Zerkan gestured to the attendant, the attendant guided the guests to another place.

Raphine moved while holding her Violet's hand.

Raphine was walking while looking at Sir Laurelian and Anna's back in front of her, and she let go of Violet's hand.

Then he approached Zerkan next to him and grabbed his hand.

"Oppa Zerkan."

"Yes, Raphine. How are you?"

Zerkan greeted Raphine without shaking her hand.

Raphine nodded her head, glanced around her, and whispered softly to her.

"You have to marry me."

She hadn't said this for five days, so her heart was unsettled. Whenever she had time, he had to imprint on Zerkan's head.

Zerkan just smiled without answering.

And Violet looked down at those two people and looked down at her empty hands.

"...."

"Violet, do you know how I feel?"

Adrian whispered softly to Violet.

Flames began to burn in Violet's eyes.

"... It's a way to abolish the marriage system."

As Violet muttered a little, Adrian's expression became reassuring as if he had another reinforcements.

And, without knowing anything, Raphine laughed to herself as she looked at the two people who seemed to get along well.

* * *

After a while.

The place where the attendants were guided was the official drawing room of the Crown Prince.

It was a much bigger and more splendid place than the place where I was waiting for Zerkan.

But instead of looking inside this time, Raphine stared intently at the woman sitting next to Lord Lorelian.

As the servant poured the herbal tea, Zerkan asked Sir Lorelian.

"Then why did you come here without meeting your mother first?"

"The Empress did come to the meeting, so she came to see the Crown Prince first."

"Okay."

"Your Majesty has met the man who will become my wife before your Majesty, so you can be happy!"

Lord Lorelian laughed cheerfully. At that, Violet and Adrian smiled awkwardly, but Zerkan remained expressionless.

In fact, Zerkan was fairly cold-hearted to everyone.

Except for her mother, Adrian and Violet were the only ones who kept her heart open.

'Yeah, I lost all three of them, but it's crazy....'

Raphine looked at Zerkan's face with a hint of cold, and she thought so.

'by the way....'

Raphine turned her gaze back to look at her Anna drinking herbal tea next to Sir Laurelian.

She said, 'The woman who will marry the Empress's youngest brother.... She's obviously that woman.'

A woman named Anna waved her hand with a cute smile as she and Raphine met her eyes.

"...!"

Raphine pretended to be blindfolded and hid her face with Violet's back.

Then Anna laughed and she whispered something to Sir Laurelian.

"okay? Ahaha."

Sir Lorelian laughed haphazardly.

'That hog....'

Raphine narrowed her eyes and lamented inside her.

'This was the beginning, maybe.'

She remembered it clearly because she had a pretty big butterfly effect in the original story.

Because of this incident, the Crown Prince was definitely on the verge of leaving for the Academy. So, two years from now.

It will happen that the Empress's authority will be greatly damaged.

According to the queen's scheme, the empress's family was the first step on the road to ruin.

"What kind of woman is that woman?"

Ruby, who was quietly reading Raphine's thoughts, asked.

Raphine brought the teddy bear bag she had been carrying on her back in front of her and hugged her.

And hiding his face behind the teddy bear, he glanced at Sir Laurelian and the woman next to him.

'It's that man. The Empress's youngest brother....'

"Yeah, it's smooth and smooth looking. You look like a knight, don't you?"

'That's right. The men in the Empress's family were knights from generation to generation.'

"It seems like you've been to the capital after a long time, haven't you?"

'I see. Even in the original story, he was a knight who volunteered himself to the border area because he had a free-spirited personality. He brought the woman back to the capital.'

"That girl? But why? You look so pure and kind."

Raphine nodded his head as if in agreement. But she wasn't that kind of a girl.

'There is another man's child in that woman's womb.'

"what?"

Ruby was surprised to see if it was really surprising. Raphine also thought it was a surprise.

He wouldn't be able to imagine it just by looking at the exterior.

But it was true.

The woman was carrying another man's child, and she had planned to marry another man before her pregnancy was discovered.

She was even an extremely violent person, despite her modest appearance.

Before she met Sir Laurelian, she worked at an orphanage in another area, where she assaulted and abused children numerous times.

'When I found out she was pregnant and was looking for a good match, it must have been Sir Laurelian that caught my eye.'

"Just by looking at your eyes, you must have recognized that it was a hogu."

'... Yes.'

Raphine couldn't deny Ruby's words.

To be honest, Sir Lorelian looks really gentle. He had a good impression of being scammed wherever he went.

'Anyway, he's the youngest brother of the Empress, didn't he look like a very coveted prey? Besides, if she marries Sir Laurelian, she will be able to get away from her dreadful countryside.'

"Right. But it seems that the marriage has already been talked about?"

'I will. Sir Lorelian must have already fallen in love....'

"Yeah, look at your eyes.... That's the guy."

Lorelian's eyes were dripping with honey as he looked at the woman sitting next to him.

'Tttttttt....'

Raphine clicked into her.

In the original story, the two get married safely and have a child, but no one doubted the woman's infidelity.

Because her child was born just like that woman.

But after a few years. When her child's biological father returned, things changed.

"Her real father appears?"

'Yeah, that's not enough, so that woman falls for her first love, who has returned. From that moment on, he began to steal all of Lorelian's fortune, and he succeeded in the end.'

"You've been caught properly."

'But you know what's even more shocking? The real father of the child in that boat is from the 's side.'

"Is that even planned?"

'It wasn't planned from the beginning, it was just a coincidence. Later, the man finds out about this and makes a deal with the Queen. The Queen was right because it was a good way to press Lorelian.'

"It's utter garbage. Where is that man now?"

'I'm from the top family, so I'll be on a different continent.... He's the worst!'

Two years later because of this event, which will be the beginning of the butterfly effect.

The Empress will be in great trouble.

Two years later, the people on the Empress's side drive Sir Laurelian into an unscrupulous man who took her husband's wife.

In fact, they always wanted to damage the Empress's family.

'But the Empress's family was a very honest knightly family, so there was nothing to downgrade.'

In such a situation, such a prey appeared.

The people on the Queen's side begin to bite the Empress like fish in water.

The child's father asks the shrine to examine her paternity, reveals that her child is his own, and formally accuses Sir Laurelian.

Besides, even that woman is on the man's side and is framing Lord Lorelian. She drives it like that if Sir Laurelian doesn't marry her, she threatens to kill her.

It wasn't just that. That woman even frames the Empress, and she blames the Empress and others on her side for all the bad things she's done to her.

Thanks to this, the Empress's family is greatly tarnished.

Sir Laurelian was stripped of his knighthood, and there was no way to recover his property, which had been stolen by that woman beforehand.

That was the beginning.

Starting with that, the people on the Queen's side increasingly put pressure on the empress's family.

When they are financially exhausted, the empress's brothers and sisters borrow money from various places.... As a result, other problems arise.

「... The Empress deserves an incurable disease.」

'Right.... So I have to help. To keep Zerkan from going crazy.'

「Then, baby, why don't you reveal in advance that there is another child in that woman's womb?」

'That's right.'

Raphine stared intently at the woman.

One of the many causes that would lead to the destruction of the Laurelian family, the Empress's mother, was right before her eyes.

So, while Raphine remembers the original story and has a conversation with Ruby.

Adrian, Violet, Zerkan, and Sir Lorelian and a lady named Anna were having a friendly conversation.

Sir Laurelian glanced at Raphine at her and said,

"It would be great if Your Majesty also had such a cute little sister. I'll make her a cousin soon, so wait a minute, hahaha."

「It's stupid....」

Haha, Ruby criticized her, looking at her smiling favorite Sir Laurelian.

And Raphine stared at Anna, who was shy at those words.

"What do you do when you say such a shameful thing...."

"Wouldn't it be nice if Anna also had a daughter as cute as Ms. Raphine? Let's make a cute little sister for the Crown Prince."

"I'm fine.... She will be happy to have a cute daughter."

Raphine narrowed her eyes. A woman named Anna had a very high level of acting skills.

'How can I tell?'

Raphine was worried.

It was then. Ruby whispered her words to Raphine over and over again.

"...!"

Raphine's expression, which she had been quietly listening to, was serious, then bright, then serious again, then brightened again.

And in a while.

Raphine decided to do something and said in a loud voice.

"Nuna!"

Anna's eyes widened at Raphine's call.

"Oh...."

She smiled brightly and gently.

She seemed to be happy with the friendly name that came out of Raphine's mouth.

However, it was difficult to keep a smile at Raphine's next words.

"By the way. Does Nuna have a baby in her belly?"
