DMEC | Chapter 9
After unexpectedly encountering Emperor Joel for the first time in nine years and eleven months since their marriage, Lute was bedridden for two days. The fever was so severe that he couldn’t even get out of bed, let alone chew or swallow anything. Mentally shaken, he refused to eat, prompting Anna to make a bold decision. She gathered the potatoes they had harvested with Melik and left the palace. The potatoes Lute had lovingly grown had flourished, so she promised to sell them at the market outside…-

DMEC | Chapter 8
Unaware of it himself, the Emperor did not wish to reveal that he was Joel Ragnus. Even without a heart, there was a faint, unfamiliar pounding sensation within him. Not having a heart did not mean he had lost all human emotions. The ones he had learned in the past remained, allowing him to exist among people without issue. However, guilt barely registered, and emotions he had never personally experienced remained beyond his understanding. As befitted an Emperor, he made decisions based on reason…-

DMEC | Chapter 7
Tears slipped from the wrinkled corners of Melik’s eyes. He remembered too. Joel, who had once adored Lute so earnestly—even when he was dressed as a girl. How much must he have cherished him to say, “Grow up quickly and marry me, Prince.” That kind of love could not have simply vanished. That was why, when Lute arrived in disguise, a crime that should have warranted death had only resulted in confinement. If there had been no lingering affection, Synthsis would have been…-

DMEC | Chapter 6
Alexander's vision turned white. I forgot that child too. Did we all get hit by some kind of spell? How could we forget that child, the queen? "Your Majesty! How could you forget the queen!" Even though he had forgotten too, Alexander shouted. "The queen, Prince Lute from Synthsis! The prince you cherished so much, Your Majesty!" Lute. Hearing that name, the Emperor’s expression gradually softened. His tense features eased as he blinked slowly, lost in thought. He recalled the scene…-

DMEC | Chapter 5
"No matter how ten years have passed, it's still me... How could you forget? We spent a whole eight years together!" The Joel they remembered was not the emperor but the prince. Even though he was weaker than his twin sister Loue, he always carried Lute around like a doll, and let him sit on his lap to serve as a chair. After raising him for eight years and keeping him locked up for ten more, how could he not remember? Now Lute was not the child he raised but his spouse. Anna and Melik's…-

DMEC | Chapter 4
Did he cry because I'm too ugly? They say everyone in the fairy world is pretty and handsome. Thinking about it, I suddenly wanted to enter the fairy world and kick out all the fairy men. Or did they find out I was lying? But if I suddenly said, 'I am the Emperor, Joel Ragnus,' I thought they might run away. Run away. Muttering that word, the Emperor lifted his head and looked up at the sky. "This is... the palace where the Queen is trapped." The abandoned palace—more precisely, the…-

DMEC | Chapter 3
To show off the emperor's majesty and power, they put the dragon's head in an iron cage and continued a long procession. The procession lasted until the second bell of the Angelus, which is prayed three times a day, rang, so it was quite a long time. Leaving at dawn and arriving by lunchtime. As soon as the emperor dismounted, he threw off his long red cloak and unbuckled his armor with his own hands. The golden armor fell to the stone floor with a thud. The emperor, who kicked aside the expensive…-

DMEC | Chapter 2
In that moment, the Emperor snapped his thumb and forefinger, and the previously closed door swung open. As the doors at the front and back of the room opened simultaneously, the waiting chamberlain, the Emperor’s lawyer, the Pope, and the knight commander, Alexander, entered. As those who were completely on the Emperor’s side poured in, the Queen was startled and instinctively nestled into the Emperor’s embrace, clutching his garment and whispering softly. "Your Majesty, what do you mean by…-

DMEC | Chapter 16
"Roasting potatoes... Is climbing trees also forbidden?" Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but laugh. Eliza shrugged lightly, gathered the pus he had extracted, and stored it separately, then applied a generous amount of ointment to Lute's sole. With the pus and blood squeezed out, the inflammation that was about to spread would subside, and there would be no more swelling up to the ankle. "If you go out on a rainy day with inflammation this severe, it's like signing your own death…-

DMEC | Chapter 15
Eliza’s eyes widened in surprise. A carriage adorned with the white rose of the Ragnus family… The emperor had summoned him. Eliza wasn’t directly responsible for the emperor’s care; he was more like a merchant—someone who tended to the people working in the palace and the nobles, while also running a private clinic outside. Even among doctors, there are different levels. So why me? Are they trying to promote me? But if I get promoted… I won’t be able to run my profitable…-
