It was the night before she left for Pronoia for an academic conference. Because Kyrie still slept in a room other than hers, she would sometimes walk around the main building in the middle of the night.

Kyrie, who was passing through the main building to find an empty room, suddenly heard voices.

"......It's dangerous."

"However....."

"Perhaps the lady......"

Kyrie headed to the place where the voices were coming from. The three doctors were gathered in what looked to be Dr. Seaward's office. Kyrie quietly leaned next to the crevice of the door.

"I've been told that the Emperor's magic corps is armed,"

Kyrie listened more to the familiar words that came out of Dr. Hawksong's mouth.

"Is that true?"

"It is true. It's a secret message, so I don't know the details."

"What is she thinking?"

"Isn't it obvious? She must be preparing to attack him while the legendary lord is not there."

There was silence for a while. Soon Dr. Poe whispered anxiously.

"Is our Emperor a little crazy?"

Dr. Hawksong gulped.

"I've never heard of it, but it's a very reliable hypothesis."

"Is that even possible?"

"Wouldn't it be hard? She's the one who drove out the end."

"Or did they choose to cooperate with the Lord Protector?"

"Oh my, is he not a comrade?."

"Or maybe the Emperor knows a special magic because she is the Vallabriga Owrenbridge descendant."

Kyrie's body tensed. Given the circumstances, it was clear that the Emperor had found Vallabriga's lab. It would have been a golden opportunity since Nathaniel was not in the capital.

'But the royal family couldn't have found the library, so then ..."

There is a possibility that Rubinia Cassner helped. She was not angry. That's how she survives.

It was followed by a small conversation that was close to a murmur. She could hardly hear the voice. She didn't need to hear more than that. It was time for Kyrie to straighten her waist and turn around. Someone at the end of the hallway

"What are you doing there? "

Surprised, Kyrie's face became colder. As she turned her head, Jerome stood far away with a candle.

"My lady..... "

His posture was sloppy as if he was drunk. Kyrie quietly approached Jerome and put her index finger in front of her lips. Then Jerome's eyes were too blatantly attached to Kyrie's lips.

"Hush."

"Shhh ..."

"I thought I'd ask something, but I'm not in a mood to interfere."

The more you have something to hide, the more bold you should be. Kyrie began to tiptoe with the veil flying. Jerome hesitated and followed her.

"Do you know how to ride a horse? Don't you want to know how to ride a horse? Do you want a ride?"
