Chapter 46

This was the Empress's bedroom.

"Karl!"

Although her voice sounded tired, she called Eckart's pet name with a clear voice.

Her empty eyes, which didn't have any emotions, reflected his blue eyes, which was of the same color as her own.

"I'm sorry, Karl."

Empress Blair pulled her son's arm and embraced him. Kneeling in front of her bed, he touched his cheek against her swollen cheekbone and closed his eyes.

It was a damn dream again.

Although he knew he was dreaming, he did not wake up. This nightmare always ended when it ran its course. No matter what he did, he had to come back and feel it in her bosom.

"I won't dare to ask for your forgiveness."

As if to soothe him, Blair whispered, resting her chin on the crown of his head.

"So, please…"

While touching his golden hair, the evidence of the Frey family's lineage, she suddenly grabbed his hair with a terrible grip. Eckart raised his head.
