Gillotti raised his head high in surprise.
Ill only tell you one thing at a ti.
Well, say it! Say it, imdiately!
Gillotti hurried him on. Natasha also clenched her fists in excitent.
Hartz glanced around the audience chamber.
As it was the golden empire, the splendor of the main palace was on a different level than in many countries.
Crystal and gold, silver and sapphire.
Not only was the emperors crown decorated with various jewels, but the ceiling engravings and the jeweled chandeliers were the height of glamour.
Hartz didnt know how they did it, but this large area was much warr than the smaller west tower.
Perhaps it was the sa in the East Palace, where the emperor lived.
Hartz, who grinned, mumbled indignantly.
By the way, its very cold in the west tower.
What?
It was so cold that it made my hair stand on end. Should I say that my brain is going to freeze and my mory is going to decline?
What ?
Gillottis brow furrowed as he spoke in an angry tone.
Are you trying to negotiate with now?
NegotiationIts not that grand. Should I say its just a normal deal?
Hartz laughed, his voice deliberately vulgar and snobbish.
Its all about my convenience while I help you get what you want.
You are so cocky. Who should suggest a deal to whom? Even though we are the sa talented, you may die here if I want you to.
Hartz laughed aloud at Gillottis words of arrogance and vainness.
hahahaha!
It was a loud laugh, and Gillotti imdiately scrunched up his face.
He got up and ran towards Hartz.
With a bright red face, he grabbed Hartz by the chest, but due to his lack of energy, he couldnt lift him up.
It was partly because Hartz was bigger than he expected.
Youre a prince of a ruined country, and youre arrogant for having a single ability?
Whos being arrogant? ?
Yes, you are. If you dont want to die, ekly submit your information. Dont give your boring complaints.
Gillottis eyes lit up dangerously.
Hartz, who was looking deep into his eyes, chuckled.
Hartzs strange eyes shone through his long bangs.
As soon as you kill , your life will be cut in half.
The eyes were a strange mixture of blue and gold.
It was a strange and bizarre look.
It gave Gillotti strange goosebumps.
The more you try to harm , the more of your lifespan will disappear by the handful.
What?
You dont know how much of your lifespan you have left, but I do.
Hartz folded his eyes and whispered with a smile.
His voice, which had changed like a snake, insidiously entered Gillottis ears.
If youre down by half from that place, then yes.. I think Id better start preparing from your will at this hour. ..
You.you!
Your Majesty!
Natasha hurried down, holding the heavy belly.
She pulled Hartz and Gillotti apart and quickly soothed Gillotti.
Now was not the ti to handle things with anger.
This foolish emperor had often ruined things by trying to handle them according to his nature.
I understand your anger, but now is not the ti to handle business with a brazier. I dont want to take the slightest chance of harming you. Please, listen to this poor Natasha.
She grabbed Gillottis hand and kissed it with her sobbing lips.
It seed to be the plea of a woman who, by all accounts, cared most for his safety.
Even Gillotti, who was full of anger, could not help but relax at her appearance.
How can ones heart not weaken when a woman, as beautiful as a spring flower, is pleading in such a piteous manner?
Gillotti glared at Hartz for a long ti, and murmured a sneer.
I will move your residence. You will tell the location of the holy relics.
Done.
Hartz, who swallowed a bitter smile, gently revealed the location of the first holy relic.
Among the rchants of Nyrux stationed in the Caliphate Sea, a rchant wearing the crest of a red octopus has a dagger.
An antidote dagger!
It was a holy relic that had once appeared on the black market several tis.
But even that had completely disappeared over twenty years ago, and the rchant of Nyrux had hidden it.
A quick light flashed across Gillottis face. Hartz, who was watching him, put up another condition.
However, a specific person must go there to retrieve it.
A specific person? Who is it? Are you asking to go directly?
Gillotti frowned, displeased.
I dont think so.
The only reason Hartz attempted this negotiation was for this very mont.
Hartz replied, shaking his head gently.
Marquis Helio, stationed in the northwest. He is the only one who can retrieve this dagger. If Marquis Helio does not find the rchant until around the 10th of next month, the dagger will probably be lost forever.
Marquis Helio?
For the first ti, a hint of bewildernt flashed across Gillottis face.
After the Empress, the Marquis was the most difficult person to deal with.
Not that the Marquis had a close relationship with the Empress, but they had a subtle similarity in politics and a similarity in seriousness.
Gillotti, who had a hard ti dealing with a single Empress, pushed the Marquis to the frontier with Natashas help.
The northwest was the most rugged and harsh region of Tanatos.
Because it was too cold, the population was small and there was no such thing as crops in the region. In order to live there, people always had to get help from the people around them or from the Imperial Palace.
The Marquiss wife could not stand the cold and died of an endemic disease in the first year after the order was issued.
Of the three daughters, it was said that the eldest was hurriedly married off and the second daughter, who was not much older, was kept with her out of necessity, and was having a hard ti suffering from the sa endemic disease as her mother.
Despite these hardships, the Marquiss montum never waned, and it was Gillotti who had suffered the hardship.
Gillotti even marveled at the Marquiss ability to create a force in such a remote and rugged place.
In a short ti, he was even given another na, the Ice Wolf of the Northwest.
That guy is trouble.
Gillotti wrinkled his brow. Why Marquis Helio, of all people.
He was the one whom Gillotti had not even thought of removing so he had to push him far away.
As his nickna suggested, the Marquis had a wolf nature.
He was not particularly tad by authority, and because of his skillful leadership, he would create his own pack. He must be seething because the emperor had driven him to the cliff and
even caused the death of his family.
Does it always have to be that person?
It must. It has to be him. The others will die before they find the dagger.
D*mn it.
In the past, it would have been a matter of calling the Marquis in, ordering him to do the job, and then kill him with his* ability. (*Gilliottis ability is death)
But now Gillottis illness was side effects of using his ability, so he couldnt use that ability now.
And, the Marquis sword skills were too superior to send the assassin.
Your Majesty, Ill summon him and put him to work.
Natasha interrupted in a gentle voice.
She smiled softly, grasping Gillottis hand tightly and said.
Dont worry too much. I have a way.
Gillotti was already familiar with that look in Natashas eyes.
When she had driven out the Empress, and when she had cast Marquis Helio into the pit and driven him out to the frontier, Natasha whispered to him with that smile.
There was nothing more reliable than that smile.
Indeed, youre my treasure. Clever Natasha.
Gillotti pulled Natasha close and kissed her, looking satisfied.
Hartz stared at them silently.
*Marquis Helio is the one Roselyn asked Anna to find for her plan. Hartz predicted it and now he purposely tricked the Emperor to send Marquis Helio.*

Your body
The mont she saw Tamons body as he fumbled to take off his clothes, Roselyns eyes secretly trembled in confusion.
What happened?
Where the hell did he co back from and what did he do, his body was covered in bruises everywhere and anywhere.
The king needed to beat to make her feel better..
Tamon said it like it was nothing, but he looked like he was in imdiate pain.
Look. So of your ribs are broken.
Roselyn gently touched around his ribs with a look of impossibility.
The bones were really broken and she could catch them on her fingers.
She knew Theo was going to reprimand Tamon, but she didnt think that Theo would do this.
How could the king beat a high ranking nobleman herself?
It was a thod that Roselyn could not imagine.
At this point, its not who get into trouble when were far apart, its you.
Tamon chuckled quietly as Roselyn mumbled in exasperation.
Why arent you getting treatnt? (Roselyn)
Im not used to showing my body to other people unnecessarily (Tamon)
Dont be ridiculous. Dont talk, just go and get the treatnt! (Roselyn)
Im sorry, but I really cant get treatnt from anyone. I have a separate dedicated healer for . (Tamon)
What? Is there such a thing? Is it a full-ti thing? (Roselyn)
Yes, there is such a thing. Thats why Im not going to unnecessarily go out and get treatnt from others. Even if I am in danger of dying, only my healer can save . (Tamon)
Strange.
Tamon persevered through Theos nostalgia and snide remarks, refusing to get treatnt.
He couldnt pass up an opportunity to be this injured.
For him, injury was an opportunity.
A very sweet opportunity to receive Ashas care justly.
