Remarried Empress - Chapter 437. The Man I Hate (2)

Translator: Aura / Editor: Tiny Zebra

Back in the room for distinguished guests, Sovieshu closed his eyes and slammed his head against the wall as soon as he closed the door.

He wanted to drink but feared that alcohol would cause the reappearance of the hallucinations in which he saw Navier.

Sovieshu held a hand against his chest and leaned over, biting his lip hard.

He slid slowly down the wall, his jaw clenched to stifle the cries of pain. He collapsed to the floor and shed tears silently.

He wanted to turn back time.

‘Two years, no, just one year. I wish I could go back a year.’

It was unfair. He had not come to the Western Empire of his own free will, he had not come to investigate the phenomenon of mana decline under the pretense of apologizing to Navier, so he considered all the words she had spoken unfair.

This made him regret what he had done to Navier even more. He could imagine how unfair it must have felt for Navier to have her brother falsely accused and banished. How unfair it must have felt to be accused by Sovieshu of spreading strange rumors about Rashta. How unfair it must have felt when he sent gifts to Rashta on Navier’s behalf and the nobles gossiped about it.

“Navier…”

When he opened his eyes he thought he saw Navier on the bed.

She was sitting in a comfortable position, looking at him with eyes that said, ‘What are you doing?’

When he reached towards her, she smiled and disappeared.
