Even I can’t fix this.

‘I didn’t even have any intention of fixing it.’

Aside from that, I was able to see once again that even I am not omnipotent.

I had quite a few conversations with ‘God’ in my dreams.

She seemed gentle, but was quite lively and talkative.

As a result, I heard facts that I would not normally know.

chamberlain.

Esteban lost his mother right before his eyes.

And the emperor said that it was the other concubines who killed his mother.

‘Abama! ‘Please punish my mother and those who harmed her.’

‘why me?’

The emperor did not hide his annoyance.

‘yes…?’

‘If you want to do it, do it yourself.’

Esteban was furious and sharpened his knife.

And the blade was pointed at the concubines according to the emperor’s will.

That way, the emperor was able to get rid of his troublesome wives.

To him, a wife is a good mother, someone who needs to get rid of him before he takes over her body because he may feel uncomfortable later.

To tell you the conclusion.

It was the emperor who killed Esteban’s mother, Empress Estelle.

A person who can kill the empress without being discovered by anyone in the imperial palace.

Wouldn’t it be possible to understand if you turn your head just a little?

I had guessed this before I heard it from her in my dream.

That was when Nazar was in charge of investigating the imperial family.

[Lady, I discovered something a little strange.]

‘Something strange?’

[Do you know her as Empress Estelle?]

‘Are you Esteban’s biological mother?’

I was curious because it was not in the original work and there was no special information.

[Yes, of Marquis Perthes.]

According to Nazar’s explanation: Empress Estelle was the only daughter and successor of the Marquis Perthe.

Although she was planning to inherit the family line, she fell in love with Crown Prince Hyman for one night and became empress immediately after becoming pregnant.

How great it would have been if it ended like a scene from a novel.

She was intelligent and participated in all responsibilities and events as empress. For her, it was very natural for people and power to come together.

And soon after, the emperor took away all of her rights.

[He probably felt threatened by his power.]

According to Nazar, Hyman is a criminal even in a good way. She was a genius who spared no effort.

When I first heard that story, I thought, as expected, love changes.

I just thought so.

It was a story about a dead person anyway.

But after learning the whole truth, I saw something new.

Immediately after marriage, she was the first to notice a change in the man she loved.

But it wasn’t a change, it was a change in the person itself.

Estelle nevertheless tried to talk to the emperor several times, and the emperor, who found her annoying, eventually got rid of her.

Esteban is a bad guy.

Whatever the reason, he is the one who killed my brothers and my stepmother.

Still, to put it bluntly, he wasn’t a bad person to me.

‘Even though it’s annoying.’

Rather, some of the forces that had planned my assassination when I was young disappeared before I could even do anything. At first, I thought it was just a tail cut, but that wasn’t the case.

All of that had been eliminated by Esteban in advance.

‘I don’t particularly feel grateful, though.’

Rather, I thought I had cut off the tail, so I even investigated more thoroughly.

“It’s the devil’s execution!!!”

Esteban slowly raised his head at the loud shout.

“The devilㅡ.”

Even though my body was taken away, my memories were still there. And he knew the state of his body better than anyone else.

‘Even breathing is hard work.’

Even though I couldn’t hear well, I could hear it mumbling. Just one person.

Only the voice of the girl in front of me could be heard clearly.

“How do you feel?”

“Heh, not bad.”

He said brightly. As much as I sensed the end, I didn’t want to show a shabby appearance to the woman I loved.

Marian saw right through his intentions.

“Ha, I’ve already seen all the bad things I’ve seen, but now I need to get into form.”

“ㅡThat’s right too. Then, one last time, can you hold my hand just once?”

He laughed helplessly and drooped his eyebrows. That face looked quite similar to Cecilia.

Marian blinked her eyes.

‘Ugh. ‘It’s bad, it’s bad,’

“Well, about that much.”

Before she could finish speaking. Her body tilted. Cecilia and Ceria wrapped their arms around her and pulled her back.

“Hmm. Over there?”

“I see.”

Esteban’s tears shone. As if informing us of his fading end. Despite that fleeting appearance, they only looked at Marian.

His body begins to break apart.

“In the end, I was the one who was greedy for something I couldn’t reach.”

He spoke self-deprecatingly and stretched out his hand to her, but could not reach her.

“If I hadn’t been greedy, would things have been different?”

Esteban’s eyes scanned the faces of those around her. Cecilia, Ceria, Yuri. They were all people who had a very deep connection with him.

But their expressions now are, after all, butterflies captivated by the flower called princess.

*

‘I thought I’d hold your hand tidy since it’s the last time.’

Because I didn’t want to let go of the hands of my friends who were holding my hands tightly next to me.

“Well, aren’t you friends?”

“Friend… Now that I think about it, he doesn’t exist. It’s a good sound…”

With those words, his body completely disappeared.

*

“Now! The devil is gone. And the master of this empire.”

At Marian’s words, not only the nobles but also the people murmured.

The crown prince was a devil. Then the emperor too.

While they were in shock.

A huge divine beast appeared next to her in a flash of white light. The pure white tiger was so majestic and beautiful that the word ‘guardian’ came to mind the moment I saw it.

“Shinsu?!”

“Shinsu?!”

Its huge body that overwhelms even monsters, its sparkling pink eyes, and the way it purrs when Marian lightly tickles its neck clearly show who its owner is.

“Princess…!”

“The princess is the master of Shinsu!”

“As expected, a saint.”

“Goddess…!”

Marian, who looked at them closely, opened her mouth.

“So, I would like to try becoming the master of this empire.”

His tone was light, as if he was going on an outing.

“……!”

Some nobles trembled at the shocking declaration.

“Wow, that’s ridiculous… That’s ridiculous!”

“Keck!”

“Gagging!”

They fell limp, unable to finish their sentence. The members of the organization, including Nazar, were busy moving around and working for one reason at a time.

She climbed on top of Mea and raised her voice.

“I have no intention of saying something I cannot keep. However, I am confident that I will do much better than the previous emperor.”

Everyone listened to her speech. The Duke and Maria even shed tears of joy.

“At least I promise you this. In my empire, those who work hard will be rewarded. A country where no child goes hungry, a strong country where no child has to tremble at the hands of invaders! If the people help us, we can achieve it!”

Cheers erupted as if they had been waiting for her shout.

“Wow!”

“Long live His Majesty the Emperor!”

“Hail!”

The knights put down their swords and knelt down towards Marian.

It was the same for Cecilia, Seria, Aden, and the nobles who followed them.

Marian smiled as she slowly looked around at the people cheering for her.

At that time, Cecilia caught her gaze and smiled.

When Marian held out her hand, Cecilia, smiling happily, came up and kissed the back of her hand.

The sunlight that came through just in time sparkled. As if foreshadowing their bright future.

*

A dungeon where there is not a single ray of light.

“Khehehehehe… Please, please kill me…!”

Sasha was sobbing again today.

“You are released, come out!”

The guard’s voice reaches her keen hearing.

“Reason for release?”

“Yes, this is an order from His Excellency the Duke to release the prisoners in commemoration of our lady becoming emperor.”

“Stop sinning now and live a good life!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Prison food is so delicious that I don’t know if I miss it again!”

The guard just passed by Shasha’s cell.

“Why, why us!”

Complaints were heard from some prisoners.

“What an obvious thing to say, only those with low crimes are released. Murder? terror? A strict order has been issued to rule you even more strictly!”

Emperor?

The emperor?

Sasha realized again.

I ended up touching someone I shouldn’t have touched.

Why did I do that?

please.

sorry.

‘Now I want to die.’

She couldn’t even die at will.

When you die, there is an afterlife. Marian, who knew this, did not let Sasha die obediently.

Of course, there was little chance of a happy afterlife waiting for Sasha, who had lost more than half of her soul.

Sasha asked for forgiveness several times. But no one listened. At the very bottom, where not even a little light could shine, all that was there was pitch black darkness.

*

“What should I do?! My daughter is an emperor, so wouldn’t I be so shabby?”

Laria decorated herself several times and prepared to welcome Marian.

“Don’t worry. The young lady will be happy just for you to come.”

Emilia smiled.

“Hmm. But Emilia, isn’t it a bit strange that you keep calling Marianne “ma’am”?”

As the name suggests, she is Marian’s great-aunt.

“ㅡHmm. Is that so?”

Emilia narrowed her eyebrows. But if you think about it that way, isn’t the same thing true for Laria?

“Well, because I have a lot of time.”

“Hmm, I see, we have a lot of time now!”

Laria laughed brightly.

smart.

Aden, smiling happily at the cute appearance of his wife, knocked.

Laria puffed out her cheeks at the sight of her husband knocking on the wide open door.

“Aden! You should knock before opening the door!”

“Sorry.”

Laria chuckled at the apology that came back right away. Arden held her hand and skillfully escorted her.

“Aden, why does it look more familiar than before?”

Have you ever cheated? Aden smiled at those eyes.

“After all this, he is a father with two daughters.”

Laria narrowed her eyes at the boastful appearance.

“Hmm.”

Before she could ask.

“Mom!”

From afar, Marian was waving her hand in this direction.

The daughter, wearing pure white growth, was really pretty, cool, and lovely.

“I have to become a cooler and better mother for Marianne!”

Laria clenched her fists.

“You’re still pretty and beautiful.”

“What’s cool?”

“ㅡHmm.”

Aden, who could not lie to his wife, quietly averted his eyes. Because I couldn’t say that Laria was cool even with empty words.

“Aden!”

Laria, who was twisting her silver hair like cotton candy with her fingers, raised her eyes.

“Are mom and dad fighting?”

Great mom, great mom!

A good mother never fights, Laria said to herself several times and smiled. While pinching Aden’s side.

“No! Mom doesn’t do that! Welcome, my daughter!”

“Hehe, yes.”

*

After receiving a generous hug from my mother, I started walking.

‘good night.’

I thought I was satisfied with my life. There were so many precious people by my side that I never felt lonely.

but.

“Hehe, my daughter, do you really like being emperor?”

Mom stroked my cheek affectionately. My heart tickles. I feel full of happiness. It felt like my mouth was filled with sweet cotton candy.

“ㅡNo?”

A warm family, parents who get along well. When I looked around, Cecilia, Ceria, and everyone else were smiling proudly.

A natural smile appears on my face.

After meeting my mom, I felt like the last empty piece was filled.
