Damian's expression freezes coldly as he listens to the report while seated on the throne.

Guest has already returned.

Though she asked to be called Maribel instead of her own name because she couldn't bear the memories of the kidnapping, the fact that she was the Empress remained unchanged.

And now, another woman has appeared claiming to be the Empress?

It hasn't been long since his beloved Empress miraculously returned, and already an impostor has surfaced.

How bold.

A low, chilling voice echoes through the audience chamber.

To dare impersonate the Empress.

What's even more ridiculous is that this isn't the first time.

Even after the Empress returned, there was no end to those trying to impersonate her or gain access to her.

They were all seekers of imperial power or fame, and their ends were invariably unpleasant.

I wonder what kind of excuse has been prepared this time.

Bring her in.

I will verify this myself.
