Chapter 44 – The Young Lady’s Spendthrift (1)

Translator: Lioness

Alice and Lawrence couldn’t even join Benedict and Plein as they had already fled away from the inn, and there was nothing left when they arrived there. After confirming that Plein asked them to meet at the capital of Nakran Empire, he whispered to Alice.

“It looks like the two of us should go to the Empire like this.”

“We ended up like this.”

When they first departed from the capital of the Erha Empire, the group of nearly twenty people scattered, and became two.

“Is everyone going to be okay?”

“They won’t die so easily.”

Lawrence held out his hand to her, lightly responding to Alice’s concern.

“Let’s go.”

“Wait a minute!”

At Lawrence’s request to leave, Alice opened her map. After being attacked twice and separated from others, she couldn’t continue on the road like this.

“I’ll show you what money does.”

“What?”

He blankly stared at her as she self-talked, then held out the map without answering his curious question.

“Here.”

The place her white finger pointed to was the Magic Tower next to this village. A Magic Tower was deliberately built away from each other’s capital to keep its distance from power, which happened to be near them.

“Why the magic tower?”

“We’ll go here and buy a teleport scroll. Falling right in front of the capital of the Nakran Empire.”

“How expensive would that be… ”

Lawrence shut his mouth after realizing that she is wealthy as heck.

“That scroll can only be bought by Dukes and above. Even if you have money, you can’t buy it without status.”

“So, I couldn’t buy it?”

“Of course.”

The Magic Tower’s teleport scroll was the most expensive item, but it was also reported to the imperial palace of each empire as soon as it was sold. An item for which the person who bought it must explain why and for what purpose.

Since it was a difficult object to track, it was a law created by those in power for their own use, and it was the only law that was followed until now.

“But now that I have you, we buy that, right?”

“Lawrence.”

“Pardon?”

“We ran away because of love, thus call me Lawrence.”

Allowing the name meant a very special relationship. Her eyes shook by what she heard, dazedly gazing up at him. When there were eyes watching, it was natural for Lawrence to call her name and show affection.

Because that’s how you can claim that you love each other.

But now that no one was watching, she couldn’t understand his intention to call his name. Alice, who dislikes complicated things, asked him openly.

“Did you fall for me?”

“….”

It was Alice who was rather taken aback when the question she asked in anticipation of Lawrence’s giggling laughter returned to silence. She looked at him, unable to contain her words.

“That is not the case, right? Tell it’s not!”

As Lawrence moved his lips to try to say something, the rather embarrassed Alice hurriedly said,

“No. You wouldn’t fall for me.”

‘He doesn’t have a crush on me, would he?’

Alice couldn’t move from the spot.

“I can’t say I fell for you. I don’t have a crush on you.”

“W, well, if that’s the case, I’m glad.”

“I don’t think I fell for you; rather, I think I love you.”

“Love?”

“Just looking at you makes my heart ache.”

“Y, you, go see the doctor.”

“Then, when you smile, my heart beats hysterically, when I see you crying, I want to embrace and take your sadness away. When I see you trembling with anxiety, I only want to pat you. You look very pretty no matter what you do. If this isn’t love, what is this?”

Alice was unable to answer Lawrence’s words. It was the first time he had ever openly told her how he felt.

“Th, that…”

“I won’t force you to accept it. You…”

She seemed to have something more to say, but Lawrence shut her up.

“So ,call me by name.”

“I, th, that, so…”

She liked Lawrence but she has many things to do. Her head felt spinning.

‘I can’t even tell you about my situation.’

There was no way she could tell anyone that she was hearing strange voices, that they were the gods of the Erha Empire, and that she had to run away. Not even to Lawrence, who said he loved her.

It seemed that the pursuit of the voice would not continue if she went to the Nakran Empire, but she would have to get there. Alice decided to postpone her answer.

“Do I have to answer now?”

“No, I just wanted you to know.”

It was Lawrence who confessed his love, but somehow his face looked dark, so Alice didn’t ask more. She had good feelings for him, but she didn’t know if this was love or not.

“I want you to call me by name, though.”

Alice, who had turned red from Lawrence’s words to the tips of her ears, barely nodded her motionless head up and down her. She didn’t know that Lawrence’s smile lit up as he looked down at her.

Unlike the Erha Empire, the Imperial Palace of the Nakran Empire was a beautiful building filled with glass windows everywhere. Unlike Erha’s imperial palace, which was built with stone walls in order to pay attention to defense, Nakran was a country that had never been invaded by a foreign power, so there were glass walls everywhere in the imperial palace.

The glass walls, which were now treated with magic and could not be broken even when hit by huge rocks, were a type of building that could only be seen in Nakran’s Imperial Palace. A Nakran nobleman, jealous of its beauty, built a building following the imperial palace, but after the house was burned down by knights dispatched from the imperial family, no one could imitate the imperial palace.

“What? Did Lawrence Littenverk buy a teleport scroll?”

A woman sitting in an ornate chair beyond the glass wall exclaimed in surprise.

“That is the case, Your Majesty.”

The handmaiden shook in front of the woman, the Empress of the Nakran; Harnen Nakran. She knew Litternverk didn’t have that much money to purchase such an expensive thing.

‘Where the hell did you get that money from? I heard that the Duke of Littenverk’s funds were scattered all over the place due to his infighting…’

“So, he is now coming with….”

“What about that d*mn b***h was not with him, she’d be dead already!”

Hearing the maid whisper, Harnen shouted. She still couldn’t forget. Killing the original empress just to have this position.

“What’s the point of showing up when my child is barely settling in?”

“The crown prince is still young, and he need more time, Your Majesty.”

“I know, I know, but to outrun all those assassins and buy a scroll, where the hell did he get that from?!”

She asked the assassination guild to kill Alice, but she was still anxious because the news had not been heard. The fact that Lawrence bought the scroll was like saying that since she was alive, he would bring her quickly.

Harnen bit her nails. The prince’s foundation was slowly weakening. In this situation, if the princess appeared and married an aristocrat with her power to empower her brother, the crown prince, Harnen’s son would be dead.

“You think I gave birth to this child to kill him, and after acquiring this position?”

Dedicated to her old emperor’s concubine, she had no options left. The crown prince was five years old when she entered as his concubine, and the Empress was pregnant with the Princess.

By the time the princess was born, she had lost the Emperor’s favor, and she went so far as to poison Empress. It was unknown where the princess was born, but since she was her newborn child, it was assumed that she died naturally, but it turned out, she planned all of these.

“I had children too late.”

The emperor was too old, and her son was born too late. The prince had already grown up and was struggling to take his place as a grown man.

Her son is now 14 years old. Daniel, the country’s crown prince, was already 26. It had been two years since the dying emperor had been kept alive. Time was running out.

‘We have to kill the Crown prince quickly. Or break his wings.’

She had to kill Lawrence Littenvrek, who is called Daniel’s Wings. If that happens, no matter how much the princess comes and gets married, it will be difficult to give power to Daniel.

If the princess was killed before reaching the empire of Nakran, she wouldn’t know, but if she appeared after ripping up her teleport scroll and causing her harm, the first person she would suspect was Harnen.

“My son must ascend the throne.”

Without any blemish, he had to ascend the throne in perfect condition. For that reason, Harnen entered the imperial palace and dedicated her life; to leave her lineage in this imperial family.

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

“So, I must kill Lawrence Littenverk.”

Harnen’s low voice echoed throughout the room. The head maid of the empress’ palace trembled as she listened to her words, but she didn’t even blink.

“Call the Duke of Plenas. Tell them that I have something to discuss.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Harnen, who did not even look at her handmaid as she bent down and left, bit her fingernails.
