"Ugh..! Ugh, ugh!!"
진여주
" Empress!!!! "
The female lead's screams echoed throughout the party hall, startled by Seungcheol's sudden loss of consciousness and difficulty breathing after just a sip of wine. Everyone's attention turned to Seungcheol, and chaos soon erupted.
백작가 자재
"What? The empress has collapsed?"
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"Something big has happened."
Chan-i, who came inside the party venue feeling noisy, found the two people and quickly ran over to check on Seung-cheol.

"..it's poison, I think you drank poison."
진여주
"What? Poison!!"
Poison? He drank poison!! Could it be in wine?! The rumor that Seungcheol had drunk poison spread at Yeoju's shouts, and everyone threw their glasses and panicked. Seeing this, Yeoju had Chan carry Seungcheol back to his quarters and sorted out the situation.
진여주
"The party is over for today. Everyone, please go home."
Whispering-
The party venue was still noisy after the female protagonist left. They must be talking about the incident. Jeonghan leisurely admired it while passing around a glass of champagne. Isn't it fun?
윤정한
"The climax has passed."
So now the lamb has been caught by the hunter. What happens to the lamb is up to the hunter.
최승철
"Haahaha... haahaha..."
의관
"Bring me more antipyretics and antidotes, quick!"
시녀
" yes! "
The doctor examined Seungcheol and thought that this was no ordinary poison. Usually, after taking the antidote, a person would feel better and fall asleep, but Seungcheol's fever started to rise as soon as he took it.
의관
"Bring me a cold towel."
시녀
"Here you go, sir."
Squeak- Kwaang-!!
진여주
"Empress!! What is your condition?"
의관
"It doesn't seem to be an ordinary poison. You took the antidote, but your fever actually went up."
진여주
"Swaying-) Ah."
이 찬
" your majesty!! "
The female protagonist was quite shocked by the words that it was not an ordinary poison, and when she staggered, the surprised Chan came over and helped her up.
Seungcheol, with a fever, a red face, and breathing heavily, looked so weak that he seemed like he would stop breathing at any moment. The female protagonist silently held Seungcheol's hand. Please, please just live, Empress.

"Ugh...haahaha...ugh...haa.. "
Bam-
윤정한
"How was your party?"
최한솔
"I'd be satisfied if I didn't survive."
윤정한
"Ss ...
It would be a miracle if he survived.
The sight of Jeonghan, who seemed to be enjoying the situation with an innocent smile, and Hansol, who asked about the Empress's life and death with a look of disinterest, was so frightening that it would have given anyone goosebumps if they had seen it.
The poison that Seungcheol drank with the wine was a poison that Jeonghan had specially obtained from Saga, and that would make it impossible for him to live like a human even if he were to survive. So Jeonghan must have been confident that he would die.
윤정한
"It's the perfect night to lose someone you love."
최한솔
"..I will soon send you the documents to make you empress."
Hansol left the room and Jeonghan looked at the beautifully rising blue moon. It was really too much. Our emperor must be going through hell right now, giving us such a beautiful moon on a day like this.
Thump thump-
최한솔
"It's too much of a night for him to die."
Hansol hated Seungcheol from the beginning. He hated calling that half-assed guy who had been meddling with his father's side "hyung." More than anything, he hated him for fear that he would become an obstacle to his lifelong dream of becoming the son-in-law.
however,
진여주
"Look, in the future, you will ascend to the throne with me and become my empress. Now, no one should look down on Seungcheol S.Coups, who has become my man. Do you understand!!"
Seungcheol took everything from me. Of course, as everyone around me expected, it was where I should have been. It was where I was supposed to sit, and it was the woman I was supposed to love. But Seungcheol took it all from me.
Not only that,

"Aren't you embarrassed to lose to a concubine's child? LOL"
하테 에스쿱스 공작
"It's pathetic to have your seat taken away by someone half as good."
He had to endure and bear all the humiliation and insults that should have gone to Seungcheol.
But what was more unbearable than that was,
최승철
"My husband told the duke to keep his mouth shut. What's the problem?"
최한솔
" ............ "
I couldn't stand those eyes that looked down on me as if I were inferior, those eyes that were full of shamelessness, that acted so brazenly as if nothing had happened even after taking what was mine.
최한솔
"Die, blaming your fate for being born half-born."
Half-Empress.
