When Duke Frederick heard Verena's statement from across the table, the cup in his hand trembled.
"...... The Emperor.. killed the previous Duke, my father..?"
Verena gently nodded her head as he asked with wide eyes.
"I'm sure it is a disappointing news but I have all the evidence you required."
She said, gesturing to the papers that was placed on the round white table infront of him.
Of course, when the Duke was confronted with the harsh reality, he was speechless to the point of being unable to speak.

I'm really tired for no reason.)She thought to herself, and gazed outside the window in wonder.Suddenly, she felt warm arms wrapped around her from behind."Azazel...? You're awake?""Mmmh..."He nodded and softly yawned as he gently put his chin on her shoulder, his hair tickling her exposed skin."... why did you wake up so early?"His voice was a little dry, and his eyes were sleepy as he asked.
