✦ Chapter 62 – Would You Rather Marry Than Have Your Limbs Torn Off? (2) ✦
「Translator – Creator」
Inside the imperial palace’s temple, within the infirmary’s reception room, an uncomfortable atmosphere prevailed. In life, there exist situations of acute discomfort—moments where every action feels awkward, uneasy, and suffocating. While one might wish to avoid such circumstances, they often prove inescapable.
This was precisely how Solana, the Third Princess, felt at that moment. It was rare for her to experience such tension. After all, wasn’t she the one who could smile naturally before countless believers and imperial citizens without feeling intimidated? And yet…
She observed the women before her — Ether, the First Princess; Hedera, the Second Princess; and herself, Solana, the Third Princess. The presence of even one would be astonishing, but all three had gathered at the same time, seated around a circular table in the reception room adjacent to Ezekiel’s sickroom.
“…………….”
An awkward silence hung in the air.
While the princesses weren’t exactly hostile towards one another, they certainly weren’t on friendly terms either; they had only seen each other a handful of times before.
— First Princess, report on your growth.
