Chapter 122: Side Story Chapter 2
What if Julian had met Rosie earlier?
Julian would have run a small-town butcher shop, steadily saving every coin and raising Rosie with care.
Every morning, he would’ve walked her to the village school, and every evening, he would’ve brought home the best cuts of meat for their dinner.
If it were Julian, he would’ve lived happily, not caring one bit about the Temple, the Count Family, or the Imperial Family.
All those things he said, like “I know my place,” or how he always drew the line with “you nobles”...
“I know how to stay in my place.”
The Emperor felt oddly drained.

“It may not be wise to meet with Sir Julian Noart so frequently in private.”
“What are you saying all of a sudden...”
“No matter how strong he may be, his low birth makes it hard for people to speak well of him. I worry Your [N O V E L I G H T] Majesty’s dignity might suffer.”
