“Your Majesty, there is no war.”

“It’s been only two months since the war was over.
Though you want to start a war again.”

“Then, what are you going to do about the people’s resentment?”

“How will you pay for the money we need for the war?”

I stared blankly at those who were eagerly expressing their opinions.

‘Where is this? Who are those people?’

Today was my high school graduation, and I was going on a trip with my parents.

‘Where are Mom and Dad?’

As I looked around to try to find my parents, I saw a man sitting in a golden chair.
His sharp eyes, the slender jawline, and his impression made everyone nervous.
In addition, the green eyes, which can be seen under the fine silver hair, were indifferent and desolate, so it would be quite difficult to face him.

“Your Majesty.”

A blonde-haired man sitting right under the high ledge quietly called him.

‘Your Majesty?’

Are you saying that the silver-haired man is the emperor? What is he talking about?

At that moment, a scene passed like lightning in my head.
A dump truck was interrupted by a sudden lane change, father’s surprised voice, and the screams of mother.

…And the enormous shock and terrible pain that followed.

I closed my eyes tightly at the feeling of suffocation, as though someone was choking me.
A family trip to celebrate college enrollment… How did this happen?

That was the last memory of my life that I cried out desperately while looking at the back of my parents that were stained with blood.

“I need money.”

It was the low and cold voice of a man called the emperor who broke my train of thoughts.
When I carefully opened my eyes, I saw him twisting the tail of his mouth.

“I conquered the Gemina Kingdom two months ago, so I can use the treasury money for the war.
What’s the problem?”

“Don’t you bring the subjugated Gemina Kingdom into ruins? It costs money to rebuild it.”

The blue-haired middle-aged man answered with a stiff face.

“Lord Otien, have you forgotten that Gemina’s treasures came into our hands? That is a large amount of money.
So don’t say painful things.”

Despite the emperor’s words and sarcasm, there was no change in the face of the man called Lord Otien.

“If we don’t have money, then we have more reason to go to war.
We have land, we have labor, we have money.
Why stop the good things?”

As the emperor’s face turned cold, those who had gathered began to glance at each other.

‘What, why is the atmosphere like this? What is that person doing?’ I glanced at the emperor without realizing.
The atmosphere he exudes was so bloody that my flesh trembled.

“Don’t the people get killed and injured in war? Can’t you hear them cry?”

Another man appealed as if he was frustrated.

“There was always a burden on the forefront.
We always win, and the number of casualties is far less than that of our opponents.
What’s more successful than war?”

“Your Majesty’s achievements deserve praise, but don’t you know that no war is better than war?”

“Don’t I know? …Ha.”

The emperor laughed in vain, stunned.

“Count Nolan, are you trying to teach me now?”

His words hardened the bodies of those who had gathered there.

‘Where the hell are we, anyway?’

Moreover, such a choking situation.
I couldn’t bear listening to it any longer, so I tried to speak carefully to the emperor.

‘Excuse me? Hello?’

However, he was staring horribly at only those in front of him as though he couldn’t hear me.
‘Excuse me? Can’t you hear me?’

That moment.

Suddenly, he turned his head towards me.

“What do you think? They are very conceited.
They dare to teach me.”

‘That scared me.
Why are you asking me?’ As soon as he saw me, his expression, which had been hit by the north wind, quickly became warm.
Even a friendly voice flowed out of his mouth, which had uttered a drowsy venom.

‘Are, are you crazy?’

While I was flustered, the emperor once again gently asked, reaching for me with his hand.

“What should I do? What would you like to do?”

‘Uh, huh? Why are you approaching me?’ I instinctively leaned back in fear of an unknown reason.

At that moment.

‘What, what’s wrong?’

I thought I was moving backward, but the distance between the emperor was getting closer, rather than widening.

I took a desperate step back.

But still, the body didn’t move, and his hand came closer.

‘What, what is it! I haven’t done anything wrong.
I don’t even know where this is!’

I couldn’t stand the horror anymore and shouted desperately with my eyes closed.

‘Strange.’

I felt something touching me, but I couldn’t feel anything else over time.

‘What?’

Wanting to know what was going on, I slowly opened my eyes after I gathered my courage.

‘Ugh!’ When I saw the emperor’s face right in front of my nose, I thought I was fainting.
He rubbed my head with a lazy look.

‘Wait.
You’re touching my head? But why can’t I feel anything?’

Feeling that something is horribly wrong, though I’m not entirely sure.
However, the biggest problem right now was that my body wasn’t moving.
Not only that, but it was also strange that I couldn’t feel anything.

Anxiety climbed up my spine.

The emperor, who had been fiddling with my hair, sud
