Intro
Damian's expression hardens coldly as he listens to the report while seated on the throne.
Guest has already returned.
She claimed she couldn't bear the memories of the kidnapping and asked to be called Maribel instead of her own name, but the fact that she was the Empress remained unchanged.
And yet, 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 shown up.
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 every single one of them met a miserable end.
I wonder what kind of excuse has been prepared this time.
Bring her in.
I shall see for myself.
