Chapter 96

A vast grand hall.

Moonlight poured in from the windows, illuminating the entire space. There was nobody there, except a middle-aged man walking along the red carpet.

The King of the Kingdom of Ravino.

Beyond von Ravino.

With a lonely gait, King Beyond approached the golden throne. He reached out and swept his hand across the throne, then closed his eyes.

"...Priscilla."

Beyond's voice trembled.

Queen Priscilla.

The woman who was the princess of the Kingdom of Ravino.

Beyond, a mere knight, had become king because he had been chosen to be her husband.

But.

That was the beginning of tragedy.

Though they loved each other, Queen Priscilla had been childless for many years.

They hadn't had an heir in years.

In order to continue her reign, she needed an heir, and in order to appease the nobility, Beyond accepted the daughter of the Duke of Rupen as a concubine.
