Chapter 183
When Livia waved her hand once, many of the knights fell to the ground, unable to control their bodies.
It was an incredibly powerful force.
Azela, Zagnac, Chises and her brothers and sisters all looked at Livia with their mouths wide open. The suppressed air was heavy, perhaps due to the power she used. Even after Livia withdrew her strength, none of the knights got up.
Chises, who was suddenly alone, looked confused and didn’t know what to do.
“I am no longer your family.”
As Livia coolly ripped the dress she was wearing, her slender calves were exposed. She immediately took off her shoes and put on the comfortable shoes of the stunned knight. While they were a little big and loose, they were better than painful shoes.
“The Emperor or whatever.”
Running a hand through her neat hair, she then threw all of the cumbersome accessories on the floor.
“I don’t care anymore.”
“Li, Livia…”
“Whether you kill each other or not is none of my business.”
When she took her steps and walked in front of Azela, Azela opened her eyes wide in surprise at Livia’s uncommon look. She opened her mouth again as she came to her side and looked at her brothers and sisters as if warning them.
“I’m going on my way now, and I won’t be a princess anymore. Don’t bother me from now on.”
“Wh, what?”
“If you want to live, sisters and brothers, hold a sword. If Brother Chises wants to live, it would be better for you to fight them directly because the position of the emperor is still vacant.”
With her words, everyone’s eyes turned to her fallen sword. The lust for power between them was blooming. What was more, they couldn’t believe she didn’t want to be the princess. Just because she said she wouldn’t didn’t mean she couldn’t do it.
It was truly an unconventional statement.
As Livia looked at Azela and smiled, Azela and Zagnac, who had bewildered faces at first, soon smiled as well.
If that was the path she chose.
Azela extended her hand towards Livia.
“Let’s go, Livia.”
Livia, having shed her princess shell, smiled as if she had been reborn. She smiled brightly and held Azela’s hand.
Livia took responsibility for her own choices, and she went her own way that day.
To help her on her first journey, Azela and Zagnac offered to support her with money and other things, but she refused, saying she would survive on her own. No matter how many times they told her how difficult it was, Livia did not break her stubbornness until the end.
Being stubborn.
It was her first time doing anything for her. In the end, both Azela and Zagnac had no choice but to look at Livia, who left, and she left like that.
In addition, Daran, who had been by her side since she was born, accompanied her on that journey. She was glad things turned out this way. She had been feeling sorry for Livia, who was always held captive in her palace.
There was no one who could stop Livia from leaving—members of the imperial family, Azela, and Zagnac as well.
Time passed.
That day, after Livia, Azela, and Zagnac left, the imperial palace was truly in chaos.
“The Emperor’s position is mine!”
Starting with Chises’ shout, everyone held their swords in their hands. It was unknown what happened after that. All they knew was the dirty, petty and struggle to survive, and it was the Third Prince who survived.
Chises was killed in a revolt he initiated.
He died a miserable death at the hands of his own brothers and sisters. It was a meaningless death. No one cried for him, no one mourned his death.
“It is the new emperor!”
Everyone paid attention to the new emperor, and the first thing the Third Prince did after ascending to the throne was to conclude the poisoning of the previous Emperor.
With the advent of the new emperor, everyone turned their backs on Chises.
Many witnesses came forward, and a lot of evidence emerged. There was no difficulty in discovering that the mastermind behind the poisoning incident was Crown Prince Chises.
However, no one knew about the woman who was said to have poisoned the previous Emperor herself. No one ever saw her, only the testimony was that the emperor and the crown prince always met her in secret.
The new emperor had much to do. That was why he couldn’t invest a long time into this case. Moreover, all he had to do was secure legitimacy by revealing that the culprit of this incident was Crown Prince Chises.
In the end, the Emperor announced that the culprit of the previous Emperor’s poisoning was Crown Prince Chises.
Many people cheered at the sight of the wise Emperor.
Even if someone died, the lives of the remaining people continued to go on like that, even if it was a meaningless death or a miserable death.
“Even if I die, it will be like that.”
Azela, who had been to the memorial service for the previous Emperor and Crown Prince Chises, muttered softly as she took off her black hat and gloves. While she didn’t have any good feelings towards them, she was not bad enough to insult the deceased.
“No way.”
Understanding her feelings, Zagnac slowly approached her and took her in his arms.
He now smelled quite human. Rather than the smell of the early morning air, he smelled like his favorite coffee, and rather than the smell of the book he often reads, he smelled like the perfume he used in the morning. She liked it.
It was just nice to feel like Zagnac was gradually being filled from the things that were scattered and couldn’t be grasped.
“I will be sad when you die. I will spend my whole life waiting for you.”
“Really?”
“You don’t really think I’ll be happy, do you?”
“I don’t know.”
Zagnac briefly kissed Azela’s lips. The scent of the lemon tea she drank a moment ago to calm herself down was in the air.
Livia left, the Emperor who tried to kill Zagnac died, and the Crown Prince who followed her died. That was true, but nothing actually changed. Since they didn’t have much of an impact on the story of the two people to begin with, their disappearance didn’t change much.
“This reminds me of the first time.”
“When you were dying?”
“What were you going to do if I didn’t agree to your contract?”
Zagnac looked troubled at Azela’s question and then shrugged his shoulders.
“I never thought about it like that.”
“You’re confident.”
“I am the devil.”
“Not now.”
“…Yes, I was the devil. It’s because I knew that humans could not refuse the desire I gave them.”
Zagnac smiled and kissed Azela’s cheek. The lips that were kissing her cheek passed her lips, passed her jawline, and naturally came down to her collarbone.
“Though what if I refused then?”
As Azela smiled, naturally wrapping her hands around his neck, Zagnac shrugged his shoulders and pushed her fiercely as she gave a captivating smile as her back touched the soft bed.
“If you refuse… I’ll probably keep pestering me to sign a contract?”
“You’re not giving up?”
“I won’t.”
With his lips, he untied the strings that bound her clothes.
As her loose clothes were undone, Azela’s silhouette was revealed. Zagnac smiled, moving her lips along her collarbone.
“There is no way I would give up something this delicious. There is no way I would give it up to someone else.”
“Well. I should taste good.”
Azela raised her body, grabbed his cheeks, and kissed him. Zagnac smiled at the loveliness of it.
“I won’t give up on you, Azela.”
“So do I.”
