She fled into the forest, pregnant with her ex-husband’s child.
A life as the Grand Duchess, filled with countless misunderstandings and persecution—
For Larie, it had always felt like standing at the edge of a cliff.
“How old is the child?”
Two years had passed since she escaped the Grand Duke’s residence.
Her ex-husband had returned, now as the Emperor.
When he finally tracked her down and asked the question,
Larie swallowed dryly and lied.
“…He’s six months old now.”
The child, far from ordinary, looked nothing like a six-month-old.
She hoped he would believe the child wasn’t his.
Only then could Larie be truly free.
But his reply was cold.
“So, our child was born six months ago.”
Then, with a darker expression than before, he barked an order to his soldiers as if chewing out the words:
“Escort the Empress with the utmost respect.”
