"How long has it been since the Empress collapsed for such a petition to be submitted!!"

"But I can't keep the position of empress vacant."

"The Empress is not dead yet!!"

The conference room was noisier than ever. It was because of the petition requesting that the government, which had been waiting for a long time, appoint Jeonghan as the Empress's deputy.

Yeo-ju was already angry at the attitude of the ministers who treated Seung-cheol like a dead person and turned a blind eye to him.

"Let's pretend we didn't see this petition. Everyone, go back."

The power of Count Eshurt's family was so influential. Surely they were all Eshurt's people, so they must have been waiting for it and pushed Jeonghan away.

"Your Majesty, this is,"

"Can't you hear me telling you to go back!!!!"

But there was one petition that bothered me. Hansol's. He, who was more ambitious than anyone else for the empress position, had pushed Jeonghan into it? No matter how I looked at it, there was definitely something there.

Thump thump-

I didn't like it at all. Even the ministers who treated the living as if they were dead, Jeong-han who thought it was an opportunity to dig in, and Han-sol who suddenly pushed Jeong-han away, all of them offended the female protagonist.

Thud- ) Haa-

The female protagonist, sitting in her office chair, finally let out a deep sigh. Chan, who had been silent as a mouse, perhaps noticing the female protagonist's discomfort, quietly offered her a gingerbread cookie with raspberries, her favorite.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much about this."

"Thank you, Chan.. I want to do that too, but it's hard."

The heroine bit into a ginger cookie.

The slightly spicy but sweet cookies and the sour raspberries between them made the heroine's taste buds happy. And then, as if by magic, good news came to her.

"Your Majesty - I hear that Your Majesty the Empress has regained consciousness!!"

There is news that Seungcheol has regained consciousness.

Bam-)

"Empress!!"

As the door to Seungcheol's quarters bursts open and the female protagonist enters, the doctor who was taking Seungcheol's pulse stands up and steps aside.

Then,

I met eyes with Seungcheol, who was leaning against the headboard of the bed.

Yeo-ju approached and sat down next to Seung-cheol, as if she couldn't believe that he was clearly looking at her. Seung-cheol's eyes followed Yeo-ju's.

"What is the Empress's condition?"

"Everything is fine, but..."

The doctor trailed off. The female lead couldn't take her eyes off Seungcheol, so Seungcheol looked away, feeling awkward.

진여주

"Your Majesty, how worried I am,"

Thump-!!

As the female lead whined about how worried she was and tried to put her hand on Seungcheol's cheek, Seungcheol suddenly slapped her hand away, causing her hand to freeze and fall down.

"Why...why are you doing this..."

"...Empress?"

It felt like I'd been hit hard in the head. Seeing Seungcheol treat her with wariness, as if he were meeting her for the first time, Yeoju looked at the doctor. The doctor delivered a shocking sentence in a subdued voice.

"I don't remember anything."

"Thank you, Duke, you gave me strength."

"You woke up but lost your memory."

Hansol went to find Jeonghan upon hearing that the empress had regained consciousness but lost her memory. Jeonghan, who was pouring tea for tea time, continued to talk with Hansol while drinking chrysanthemum tea.

"I guess you're sad that I didn't die."

"I can't say no."

"Sometimes living is more painful than dying."

"The Empress who has lost her memory will have a more painful life ahead of her."

To those who didn't know, Jeonghan's expression as he spoke, as if he were having a happy conversation, would have seemed innocent and innocent, as if he were having a pleasant conversation. However, his expression as he spoke of his suffering was so calm that it was chilling.

Hansol took a leisurely sip of tea without a single wave of hesitation, as if nothing had happened. He was close to his goal anyway, so he had no intention of going any further.

"Well, that wouldn't be so bad."

"Yes, that is also the Empress's fault."

It's your fault for taking what was ours, Empress. May you suffer terribly.
