"What are you pursuing, Rock? I never heard of your name when I was in school, and I didn't know until not long ago that we entered school only a few years apart. You should have seen me in school." Evelin.

Look at the assassin.

"I was just an ordinary and inconspicuous student at that time. The only big shot I knew was Edlund."

"Her Majesty Evelyn was the student council president of the school at the time, and she was an equally distinguished figure as the gryphon heir, Geran, so it was normal for her not to know about me."

"Then why are you appearing in front of me now? Are you separating me from my sister and bringing me to the Landsworth family just to watch the empire split in your hands?"

"Although I understand your curiosity, I won't tell you. Years of work have taught me that it's best not to let anyone know your ultimate purpose." Rock refused again.

"But one thing I can tell you is that I really don't like the old Duke Griffin, so I designed this to take you away so that he can no longer legitimately control the royal family of the empire."

"But why do you want to keep Tesline? Do you know how she will be bullied there?"

"This is beyond my consideration. Not everyone has the obligation to take care of your feelings, Queen Evelyn."

Seeing that Evelin's pupils seemed to be burning like flames, Rock had to shake his head and explain a little more.

"You don't have to worry too much about Teslin's safety. Although she is not as sensible and smart as you, as a princess and queen, you are actually not as good as her."

"Have you ever been curious? Although Teslin, as a sister, is a little naive and even stupid, she is always very lucky and popular. Even you are a little envious of her."

"That's true." Evelin fell into thought.

"You always think about many things calmly and with reason and interests. This is good, but it also brings a lot of pressure to others."

"They will think about what to do if they don't do well enough one day or what to do if they make a mistake. This kind of panic as a minister is not easy for you to understand."

"The power struggle within the empire has been around for a long time. Everyone is looking for a ballast that can reassure them, such as being absolutely loyal to the royal family and making themselves look silly and non-threatening. In this way, even if the new emperor ascends the throne,

They will also be used because they are loyal to the royal family and there is no need to worry about rebellion as long as the emperor is in that position."

"When you consider others based on their interests, others will also consider the results of doing things for you based on their interests. If there is danger, they will be uneasy."

"But Tesline is not like that. She is not as smart as you. She can even be said to be a straightforward and simple princess. But one thing is that her kindness will make others feel at ease and they will not worry about suddenly falling out. Even if she makes mistakes occasionally,

You can also be forgiven.”

"Such behavior is weak in your eyes, but it is stable in others' eyes, because no one wants to worry about whether they will make you angry tomorrow while sleeping and be punished."

"But if she is so easy to talk to and forgives in everything, then who will do things seriously? This is how corruption arises." Evelin said her own opinion.

"That's true, so together you are the perfect queen of the empire. This is the purpose of the dual king system."

"But you separated us."

"If you are together, you will be completely controlled by Duke Griffin, and you will never have access to real power. It is precisely because of your separation that the two parties will compromise on you in order to compete for the title of the royal family.

You are in contact with real power." Rock stated his reasons.

"So I would also like to thank you because you have preserved the last dignity of the royal family." Evelin asked in return.

"That's not true. This is just for my purpose."

"Really..." Evelin's words suddenly softened.

"I mean, if you achieve your goal in the end, will you let me go and reunite with Teslin to live a stable life?"

"Maybe, there are some things I can only hope for." Rock shook his head. After going through many changes, he could no longer make promises as easily as he did when he was a child.

"Is it really not possible?" Evelin stepped closer until her hands were on Roque's shoulders, and the other person's eyes seemed to reflect her own appearance.

"If you can do it, it's okay for me to marry you."

Looking at this assassin who looked stunned for the first time, Evelin showed a rare smile on her face.

The time point was when Loren was in the forest. Speaking of which, this pair was decided in the outline very early, but I never had time to write about them.
