The moment Kiara stepped out of the grand banquet hall, the lively music behind her gradually faded into the quiet stillness of the palace corridors.Moonlight poured through the towering windows, casting silver streaks across the polished marble floor.Dane walked silently beside her, his expression unreadable.Victor and Bright followed a few steps behind, discussing tomorrow's tournament in low voices.Just as they reached the palace garden—"Your Highness!"A hurried voice echoed through the corridor.Footsteps approached rapidly.Noah Stones, Commander of the Imperial Army, stopped several meters before Kiara. His breathing was uneven, his usually composed expression replaced by panic and confusion.For the first time since becoming her bodyguard...He looked lost.His fists trembled.His crimson eyes were slightly red, as though he had spent the entire evening fighting back emotions he could no longer suppress."...Your Highness."Kiara merely glanced at him before continuing to

The scene on the screen suddenly froze. Then... Everything shifted back nearly thirty minutes earlier.  --- Inside the Prime Minister's Office... The door burst open. Bang! "Kia!" Victor strode inside without waiting for permission, his breathing uneven. Kiara looked up from the reports in her hands and frowned. "Have you finally lost your screws, Victor?" Ignoring her sarcasm, Victor walked straight toward her. "Kia... I think Lily is in danger." Kiara raised an eyebrow. "What?" "She's with Caden." "She'll be fine." Victor clenche

The forest road fell silent as the carriage disappeared deeper into the wilderness. Inside the carriage... Caden slowly lifted a hand and wiped the fake blood from the corner of his lips with a white handkerchief. The weak and injured expression on his face disappeared completely. His eyes Cold. Empty. Expressionless. He leaned back against the carriage and muttered, "Everything is proceeding exactly as planned." Then... He reached into his coat and took out a small glass vial. Lilian, whose wrists were bound, looked at him in confusion. "C-Caden...?" Without replying, he uncorked the vial and gently injected a sleeping medicine into her arm. Her eyes wide
