*** Swoosh...!!! Boooommmmm!!!!!!! After a long journey above the fantasy medieval city, Kazuki and Livy finally landed on the dusty ground. Stare... With sharp and oppressive gazes, they surveyed their surroundings, using Kazuki's deliberate aura to intimidate the nobles, guards, and knights present. Kazuki still harbored deep resentment towards those who had imprisoned Livy and spread false news about her identity. The heartache still lingered, witnessing his beloved being cruelly tortured and tested in the dark prison. "Are they the ones who planned to torment and imprison Livy?" Kazuki murmured in his heart as he gazed towards the nobles seated in their special places. With just a glimpse, even a fool would know that they were individuals of the highest positions, judging by the opulence and proximity of their seats to the coronation throne. Grip! Gripping his spear tightly, he glared at them with anger, burning with fiery rage. However, Kazuki also realized that this was

After a moment of contemplation, Rowan finally answered in a trembling voice, "I must confess, it was indeed me who planned the capture. However, the decision to attack and imprison her in the Underground Prison of the Military Castle was not mine. I simply ordered them to capture her and confine her to the room." Kazuki coldly snorted upon hearing the explanation. "Do you think I would believe your nonsense?" Rowan replied, still trembling, "I speak the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask the nobles over there." He pointed towards the nobles who were previously seated with him. Kazuki glanced at them. Doubt and confusion were visible in their eyes. It seemed that they were unaware of the true plan. Nevertheless, Kazuki knew that he had to seek the truth in this situation. With a sharp gaze, Kazuki continued, "If what you say is true, then I will believe you. But if this is just deception, you will be held accountable for your actions." Rowan swallowed nervously, feeling t

*** Kazuki gazed at the audience with an upright face, smiling proudly and confidently. His expression reflected the belief that what he was about to announce would change everything. He wanted to create direct engagement with his listeners, so he began his announcement by asking them, "Good afternoon, my friends! Firstly, I apologize for surprising all of you with my sudden arrival, but I have some things to announce to all of you. Are you interested in knowing?" Kazuki's voice resounded clearly throughout the square, creating a tense silence. The listeners looked puzzled and eager to find out what the mysterious man was about to announce. They observed every movement and word spoken by Kazuki, trying to understand the purpose and meaning behind his arrival. Recognizing the confusion on the faces of the listeners, Kazuki was confident they were focused on his words. Continuing with confidence, he stated, "I am announcing that Princess Olivia is still alive! The news of her death wa

*** After a long journey, they finally arrived at the magnificent gates of the Imperial Palace. In the radiant sunlight, Kazuki saw a group of people awaiting their arrival. There was Helena, Livy's mother, who appeared hopeful and worried, as reflected in her eyes. Beside her stood Sir Michael, a loyal knight always ready to protect the Imperial family, standing tall with a resolute stance. They were not alone; there were also several knights and palace members present, demonstrating their respect for Kazuki and Livy's presence. At that moment, Kazuki whispered into Livy's ear, who was leaning against his chest. "Hey Livy, that's your mother. Quickly greet her first. She's the one who worries about you the most out of everyone here and still believes in you more than anyone that you are the real Livy," Kazuki whispered into Livy's ear as she leaned against his chest. He reminded Livy of her mother's unparalleled concern and the trust she had in Livy being the genuine one. Kazuki

Silence~ The moments of tension felt heavy in the air as the question hung, allowing Kazuki time to contemplate his answer. Kazuki's heart fluttered as he pondered his feelings for Livy. He had long held a growing love within his heart, and now the opportune moment had arrived to reveal it. '...This is the moment of reckoning...' Kazuki chose to remain silent momentarily, allowing his sincerity to permeate the words he would utter. Finally, with a resolute voice, he responded, "Yes, Emperor Elric. I love Livy with all my soul and being. Every second we have spent together has strengthened the bond of our love. I am willing to shoulder the full responsibility of safeguarding and honoring our relationship." He took a deep breath... Upon hearing Kazuki's answer, Elric exhaled deeply, as if liberating himself from a burden he had carried. Relief appeared on his face, yet he continued to emanate the wisdom and caution inherent in a leader. Then, with seriousness, Elric conveyed his de
