SLDS 10
“Your Highness!” It was around the time the midday sun was lazily soaking the crown of his head that Claude Vandel burst into the crown prince’s palace. Claude, who flung the door open despite the servants’ attempts to stop him, became severely indignant upon seeing Alexis lying idly by the window, basking in the sun. He walked over, his feet stomping. Thump, thump. Even then, Alexis kept his arms crossed and his long legs crossed on the sofa. His platinum blond hair, which had fallen…-

When I opened my eyes again, I thought I had come to a funeral parlor. It was because all the servants were surrounding me, sniffling. A sigh escaped me on its own. As Cecil shook his head as if annoyed, his dark brown hair, buried in the pillowcase, swayed back and forth. “Did I die or something? Why are you all crying and making a fuss.” “Sob, Mr. Cecil.” Leo’s wailing was the most pathetic of them all. Perhaps because he had witnessed Cecil faint right before his eyes, he…-

Scritch, scratch. The nib of the pen moving across the parchment made a ticklish sound. Cecil rested his chin on his hand at the desk and carefully wrote something down. He had a rather serious expression on his face. Leo was waiting at a distance so as not to disturb his master. Appearance was not the only thing Cecil had inherited from the empress. Like his mother, he was also exceptionally intelligent. He quickly absorbed what he learned and made it his own. It went without saying that he was…-

I was on my way back from the central archives. I had heard the news that Yuria would be entering the palace today. I had no intention of seeking her out to say hello, but the moment I spotted her standing alone, the words left my mouth on their own. “What are you doing here? You couldn’t have come alone, could you?” There was no sign of a servant, let alone Alexis, anywhere nearby. As Cecil looked around, Yuria’s eyes trembled greatly. “Uh… well, I.” It was only natural. She…-

“Did you prepare today’s banquet?” “Pardon?” “It was quite excellent. The decorations were top-notch, and it was surprising that the banquet food and drinks were all traditional. I imagine it was in consideration of the knights who had been away from the empire for a long time.” Cecil’s eyes widened. Just as he said, a considerable amount of effort had been put into this banquet, whether it was noticeable or not. Cecil had focused on authenticity rather than splendor, thoroughly…-

Contrary to expectations, the banquet was held lavishly, and while Empress Elizabeth showed her displeasure, her complaints completely vanished when the emperor praised it greatly. The separate tea party held at the Peridot Palace was also furnished with a certain degree of splendor. Although only the trash had been invited separately, the nobles did not know this fact. They were all busy raising their noses in the air, thinking they were receiving special treatment. Not only that, but they were…-

Around noon, Cecil visited the Empress's palace and came face to face with someone who looked exactly like him. Despite the sudden request for lunch, the round table was laden with a feast of appetizing dishes. “Have some, Cecil. The chef said he took special care because he heard you were coming, but I’m not sure if it will suit your palate.” The entrée, consisting of warm pottage and grilled mushrooms, was more than enough to whet the appetite. The veal, drizzled with butter and orange…-

Cecil practically tumbled out of bed. His knees and hip bones hit the sharp wooden corners in his carelessness, but he was in such a half-crazed state that he did not even have time to feel the pain. He ran straight to the window and threw it open. Dazzling sunlight poured onto his forehead, which was drenched in cold sweat. The peaceful scenery of the Imperial Palace filled his eyes. Everything was, unbelievably, the same. “No… way.” Muttering to himself, he felt his chest. The clothes he…-

A shadow of suspicion settled thickly in Claude’s brown eyes. How many people had fallen for that beautiful face and glib tongue? Even though he had fallen to the very bottom, Cecil Adrian’s shamelessness was the same as ever. “How can I trust you? Who knows what you’ll do.” “Surely you don’t think I could harm you, the Knight Commander? With a mere dagger?” “…” “I have never used a sword in my life. If I’m going to die, I’d like to do it cleanly. I detest things…-

A heavy shadow of death hung over the underground prison. Not a single ray of sunlight reached it, and it was so cold that one's very bones and flesh felt frozen. This was less because of the low temperature and more because the terror and fear of those trapped inside had consumed the space. The deeper one went, the more severe the conditions became. Rotten mold covered everything, and rats and insects swarmed everywhere. The air was so thick with the old, fishy smell of blood and the excrement…-
