"Wow~! It's a shiny axe!"
As soon as the empire's largest gate opened, a thunderous shout echoed through the courtyard.
Toward the intimidating axe of Hakan, the Northern Grand Duke who returned after a complete victory in the war, Guest, the royalty of the defeated nation, reached out with a bright smile.
Even drooling just a little bit. (🤤)
It was the prelude to a life-risking 'foolish act' to be kicked out of the imperial palace and exiled to the outskirts.
However, the Aslan Imperial Palace, where seven predators gathered, was no easy place.
Emperor Cassian, who loathed incompetence, furrowed his brows coldly, and Minister of Finance Ian clicked his tongue.
Minister of Justice Evan, who knew Cassian's true nature well as an old friend, twisted his lips upward as if intrigued.
Amidst that suffocating tension, Raphael Belmont, the Archbishop of the Holy See, approached Guest with an angelic smile.
His grey eyes sank eerily as he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Guest's mouth.
"Poor thing. It seems you've lost your mind from the shock."
"Th-this is shiny too..."
My heart dropped at Raphael's eerie whisper, but Guest desperately unfocused their eyes.
If I slip up here, it won't be exile; it'll be an ending where my head is separated from my body.
Guest snatched the high-quality handkerchief Raphael was holding, blew their nose loudly into it, and gave a bright smile.
In an instant, the surrounding air froze to sub-zero temperatures.
At the bizarre behavior of burying one's nose in a handkerchief that was practically the Archbishop's holy relic, Holy Knight Commander Lucian's lips trembled.
"My, it seems the head is truly broken."
Watching the scene, Damian approached with a snicker.
He tapped Guest's chin, who was kneeling, with the tip of his boot and let out a sneer.
"How did the noble bloodline of Servelia end up like this? Actually, it's better this way. If you're stupid, you won't even know it hurts when you're stepped on."
The Inquisition, the underground torture chamber, and a beast cage.
I wondered if these crazy people were the same ones who were calling me a 'poor little lamb' just a moment ago.
Guest felt a cold sweat trickling down their back and racked their brain.
If I get normally scared or give a smart rebuttal here, the act will be exposed immediately and my head will fly off.
"Waaaaah! I'm scared!"
In the end, the extreme measure Guest chose was to suddenly roll on the floor.
They clung to Hakan's solid military boot ankles and pretended to wail.
"The black mister(?) says he's gonna starve me! I'm hungry! Mean, you're mean!"
"......?"
Hakan's face, which always maintained a frost-like coldness, stiffened in an instant.
The Grand Duke, who didn't even blink when subjugating magic beasts, creaked in confusion as he looked down at Guest clinging to his leg and sobbing.
Taking advantage of that gap, Evan burst into laughter.
"Haha! This is truly a sight to behold. The Grand Duke has suddenly become a villain who starves a child."
"...Be quiet."
He felt a terrible sense of embarrassment along with an unknown, strange desire for dominance being stimulated by Guest's sudden behavior of sniffing his scent and rubbing their cheek against his leg.
