It wasn't about becoming an empress.

....
The female protagonist walked down the hallway in a daze, clutching her cheek that had swollen from being hit by the Emperor earlier.
천여주
[Muttering] Physical evidence... I need proof...
천여주
......
천여주
But how...?
천여주
[Crack] With what power...
Tap-]
전정국
Sister!!! What's wrong..
전정국
....!
When Jungkook rushed over out of concern because Yeoju hadn't returned, what he saw was her swollen cheek and bloodstained hand.
전정국
What's wrong with your hands and cheeks?
전정국
... Have you been struck by Your Majesty again?
천여주
[Swoosh] Uh... she slapped me out of the blue, telling me not to yell at the Empress...
전정국
... fuck..
Jungkook muttered a curse in a voice quiet enough for Yeoju not to hear, and while stroking her cheek, asked if her hand was okay.
전정국
... What's wrong with your hands again..
전정국
Did you bite again?
천여주
Haha.. Ha..! Yeah..
천여주
I wonder when I developed this kind of habit...
전정국
... Let's go get treated
천여주
No... I don't have time for that.
천여주
I need evidence to prove my father's innocence.
전정국
... I'll help too, I'll help...
전정국
Let's get the treatment done first, huh...?
천여주
N-no... If Father ends up being executed at this rate...!
전정국
I won't let that happen!!!!!
Surprise-]
전정국
...!
전정국
S-Sorry for shouting, Noona...
천여주
Tap tap-] ... No... I'm sorry...
전정국
[Muttering] .... Haa... You bitch...
전정국
It looks like a plan to make my sister miserable, but I won't let that happen.
천여주
Thank you all for coming.
박지민
I'm glad you look okay, Mama...
천여주
.. It's a relief to hear you look okay...
천여주
It’s not okay at all...
민윤기
However... what is the reason you have called us like this?
천여주
I need evidence to clear my father's name.
천여주
However, as of now, there is no way to find it...
전정국
So please help me... Please.
박지민
... If it is the Duke's business, I must go the extra mile.
박지민
Because he is like a second father to me.
민윤기
If Park Jimin does it, I'll do it too.
천여주
... Thank you everyone...
Trying hard to hold back her flowing tears, the female lead continued speaking in a trembling voice.
천여주
It must be the work of a Viscount from the Lee family.
전정국
Huh...? The Viscount is someone who will stop at nothing to secure his power, but...
전정국
Did he give his daughter abortion pills?
천여주
That's it. He's someone who will stop at nothing for the sake of his own power.
천여주
...
천여주
Even if it is your own family
—After hearing the whole story—
박지민
Ha... this is even worse than I thought.
민윤기
If we join forces, wouldn't we be able to find the evidence somehow?
민윤기
I'm just a self-made man
전정국
However, he is the father of the Empress who is favored by His Majesty the Emperor.
전정국
You won't be able to get it easily.
천여주
Jjipul-] Should I meet up with the Jajak...
전정국
[Firmly] No. Absolutely not...
전정국
I'm telling you, it's dangerous...
천여주
It's not dangerous...
천여주
If I don't meet the Viscount, I might lose my mind.
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
sniffling-]
While the Viscount was leisurely drinking tea while attending to his duties, a servant of the house rushed in and spoke urgently.
...
Servant | Viscount, Viscount...!
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
Why are you rushing here in such a hurry?
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
So noisy... tsk.
...
Servant| J-I'm sorry...
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
Right, what is it that you rushed over to tell me?
...
Servant | They say Her Majesty the Empress is on her way to the mansion..!
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
As I put aside the work I was looking at-]
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
The Empress is coming...?
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
Alright, I understand. Now, go do your business.
...
Servant | Yes, Viscount.
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
Hmm... I wonder why the Empress is coming to see me.
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
Heh... that looks like fun.
...
Coachman | Her Majesty the Empress is here!!!
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
Phew—
The Viscount stopped the work he was doing, let out an unpleasant laugh, and said
자작 (지은’s 아버지)
I guess I should go greet Her Majesty the Empress... heh.
