Chapter 127
“Haah...”
Emmett sighed after reading the letter. He could almost hear Liv’s voice through this letter. He was even going mad as her image seemed to flicker before him. He wanted to run to Liv right now and embrace her.
Meanwhile, the part that Emmett found most strange in this letter was...
“Why isn’t she coming?”
It was about time for Liv to arrive. However, she still hadn’t come. Thinking that he should investigate Liv’s whereabouts, Emmett’s expression hardened.
The atmosphere in the Empire wasn’t good these days. Rumors were spreading everywhere that ‘a witch using divine power will appear and burn down the Empire.’ It was clear who these rumors were targeting. The source of the rumors was also obvious. But more problematic than that was...
‘August.’
He, who had always only whipped the nobles, started offering carrots to the nobles for the first time. He was recruiting nobles by mentioning the existence of ‘new meritorious families.’ Because of that, quite a few people had left Emmett’s faction.
Since they hadn’t explicitly exposed the plans for rebellion to the imperial faction, Emmett wouldn’t be immediately accused as the rebellion’s instigator, but it was still dangerous that public opinion among the nobles was wavering.
Liv needed to return with the cooperation of the Merna Empire as soon as possible. Thinking of Liv, Emmett squeezed his eyes shut.

The noble from the Holy Hilysid Empire who was said to be helping Dante was gradually increasing her presence in the Merna Empire. So it wasn’t strange that people were wary of this noble. However, no one expected that a member of the imperial family would directly request a meeting with her.
