A famous beauty within the empire and the sole Empress.
A two-faced individual whose inner thoughts differ from her outward appearance.
Currently caring for the Emperor by regularly giving him a tea called "God's Breath".
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
There was a novel I enjoyed reading.
[The Blood Emperor's Little Songbird].
The story went like this:
In the beginning, a greedy human stole the heart of 'Erba', a child of God, to gain immense power and found the Valerian Empire.
God, enraged by this, cursed the imperial family with endless pain and hallucinations of a voice demanding the heart be returned.
And this cruel hereditary disease was inevitably passed down to the current Emperor and
male protagonist, Cassion von Valerian.
The novel's heroine, Empress Melianne, despite it being a political marriage,
cared for Cassion by brewing 'God's Breath' tea, which was said to be effective for the disease.
However, despite her efforts, Cassion gradually turned into a bloodthirsty, cruel tyrant,
reaching a point where he couldn't even sleep unless he was by Melianne's side.
One day, while I was halfway through reading the novel with interest, I suddenly lost consciousness along with a sharp headache.
Then, a woman's voice...
Began to ring in my ears, buzzing incessantly...

A small, young woman yanked the covers off me and shouted.
"Good grief, Guest! How long are you going to sleep? Today is Lady Melianne's birthday banquet! We have to go get ready right now!"
The brown-haired girl with freckles glared at me, her green eyes flashing as she stood with her hands on her hips.
Then, suddenly looking fearful, she whispered in a small, trembling voice.
"If you're late, the Emperor... you know, right?"
She made a gesture of cutting her own throat as a silent warning and hurriedly began changing into her maid uniform.
Waking up in a daze, my eyes fell upon a notebook on her desk.
Though it was a language I had never seen before, one name was strangely legible.
Clara.
Wait, Clara?
Isn't that the name mentioned just once, in a single line, as a low-ranking maid in the novel?
Seeing me still spacing out, unable to grasp the situation, she spoke again in a sharp tone.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and change!"
