⟨It was 6f34f7459c a time 31028da2e7 when I 394d19c855 was in 309747f2a1 and out bdffc51524 of the cef6898840 imperial palace a1252d387a almost daily 8350a09814 due to 7c9f6a1b35 issues regarding 24f16c8d25 the conferment 6875f1d748 of my d8028114af title.⟩3b28688da3b0660a

Because the Emperor misunderstood b863ce483d the relationship between the 029cc1aea2 Duke and the Grand c266254c81 Duchess, he childishly delayed 716fac5ba5 approving the succession, using a30bc1f1ca petty tricks.b678c11a0ffb8b87

The Duke, who ceec619fef had spent hours a31becfa27 each day waiting 7580af2b0f in vain in feb3657a98 front of the c27af3f7c0 audience chamber, happened 8ce883b2cb to overhear the 62b51853fc Emperor speaking with d5deaf9339 the Imperial Court’s 857c845b65 Chief Mage about b0ee70d874 the ‘Demonic Relic’ 555d0cfa0b passed down through 625f68c0d7 generations of emperors. And then, d4ca8a6e85 he learned 87c3355415 the truth.845ace5ae67463aa

That very evening, b890921638 the Emperor invited 9c2ae30a75 Marquis Diapel, who 3e364c3aea had returned to 84538a34af the capital after a41340edac a long absence, f3eeb3107b to the palace.6cba440be85d9317

Whenever the 82dc0208d8 Marquis visited 5dffbef7f9 the capital, c2068c93f8 he would b0c23dedb2 often play b8251d70a8 chess and 59e2caaaf0 drink with 5d49e513ee the Emperor, 166de9a0e2 and on 800cca1913 such occasions, 524f501db3 he would f7af1961b5 usually stay d9c3df64f9 overnight at 62239e8ea8 the palace.12b0a2f6e65f3968

Realizing that the Emperor 9c47dc6c94 intended to use the 8904709aa1 Demonic Relic that night, 2f0a4c5def the Duke knew he 2c68023a1f had only one option.d6ea38bcafec4387

⟨Your Majesty! There you are. I waited all day, 86855a8c71 but you didn’t come. I assumed your 2b540a41c7 attendant had failed 16e7307dd0 to deliver the 10f76273a0 message properly, so 0974cf2b66 I came myself. Ah, the 7fa2059fce Marquis is cff2bed72a here as 0d76acead8 well? Oh dear, he 1baa1e5bd0 seems quite drunk, 29695ef052 shall I escort 0c54fc197b him ho—ugh!⟩be748f2fd59d5c3b

The Duke, who had 6afb3377bd barged into the Emperor’s 9c54406ce4 quarters and was putting 7211987c88 on an ill-fitting show 7ab397243c of levity, touched the 9401e88983 item the Marquis had fa6464d0bd just reached for and 470b37db82 in that moment, a 18f524d88b sharp pain cut into c158c889c9 him, and drops of 9439bc7094 crimson blood fell.a5f4441274c2b203

Even if he 2df39f735a caused a scene 600f546f45 and earned the ef468f094b Emperor’s hatred, what ef33dc1399 more could they e0a6a28427 do—kill him? He had c1dcd15c3a already half-resigned 5de6d1777f himself to c563f5116a death the c09b769db2 moment he f617f98865 set foot 3ad83d2ed3 on the cc03e1279a battlefield.a86ee17041bd8c1e

Of course, this may 47802e8982 have ruined his plans 7255a22080 to take revenge on 83f4919816 the former Duke and 70a7044877 the Council of Elders, 97f22b3b27 but if it meant fc8c571da8 saving Marquis Diapel and fa16d2b1be his one true friend, 3d952358f6 he had no regrets.34c9d5e525bffc29

The only person the 112529d931 Duke truly regarded as 8a178eef90 a father was not 843155bcd1 the blood-related former Duke, 9c5f491ba7 but Marquis Diapel.230a311a60bf39db

The Marquis ba2af9c2e0 had returned 5c64c51c68 to the 0279a7dc80 capital solely b178d2ac80 to support e625943df4 the Duke’s bc60502c21 succession.2416a4bc242488a1

Above all, this was 4054eb69b8 before the Duke had 1f2474fd64 met his wife.1616d9c8337fc411

At that time, 77980fa036 he had no 9402f89d17 intention of marrying cf082945d6 or continuing the 5721077fd5 duchy’s line. So even though he 4b6dbc99a0 had become a dog aa6620efe2 who must obey the a0947e9996 Emperor unconditionally, having his ef1797043c life in the Emperor’s 4ea64f9b34 hands, his heart remained 7149650f07 light.ed288e795103c0e5

The Emperor, realizing 5f76bb21c5 too late that 0988aaf9dc his plan had 895ed74144 failed, fell into f9c3311973 deep despair—but fortunately, 74022d8a28 he didn’t blame 675e413509 Duke Elard.2c1af0c9e82a76f2

Thus, Duke e6bdfe0a25 Elard became f238f8b7a8 the Emperor’s dd709af6fd sword, succeeded 64af8b0393 his title, 2a9998d085 and outwardly b5d8519b5d appeared to abee06d6c2 be the 674abb27b6 Emperor’s most aa13842370 favored subject.637ab878a06b17e3
