Until then, no one believed in Frisia’s return. Everyone thought it was a lie told to keep the crazy Emperor’s spirit alive.
The rest were people who hoped so rather than believed.
‘I pray that the madam comes back… … .’
Since most of the duke’s family constituents had moved to the imperial palace, they had such a dream.
Aslei knew that Frisia knew their faces and names. Therefore, he did not spare any effort to protect his aids, servants, maids, and attendants brought from the duke’s residence.
Even if he would not kill them—still, it was scary to serve an insane master.
Their position differed from the nobles, who only saw Aslei run amok in the palace.
Frisia’s return was probably something they desperately hoped for as they realized they would have to bury their bones in the imperial palace.
But Lana came back. Her memory was also fixed on the moment when the accident occurred in the carriage. She had no idea she had gone to the spirit world, and she was shocked that three years and eight months had passed.
“Why is my body so fine?”
Those were her first words.
Her last memory was of hugging her master, the Madam, even as fire magic burned her entire body alive. However, it was still intact with no damage. Even her scars from her previous injuries have been completely erased.
The capital turned upside down over this incident.
There were some who did not believe in the existence of Lana, who suddenly appeared, but a priest came forward and revealed that he was conducting a paternity test with her family. He said she appeared to be, indeed, Lana herself.
It was certain that she was the daughter of her family, but it was difficult to confirm whether it was her. Although some of her hair remained, the technology of this world required blood for it to be confirmed.
Aslei summoned Lana and tried to ask her about Frisia. But she knew nothing. Her memory was frozen in a painful instant.
All she could do was endure the agony as her clothes and flesh burned away and her hair instantly turned to ash.
“… … Sorry for not remembering. Your Majesty.”
Lana apologized to Aslei, who was now the Emperor.
Aslei couldn’t even thank Lana for protecting Frisia until the end. It was because he was disappointed that she did not come.
And two days later, Juliet appeared in the capital, too.
Her appearance was also similar to Lana’s. She suddenly appeared in front of her family, and a group of pale pink lights told them to cover her with a cloth as the clothes they saw were a trick.
When someone from her family had the courage to cover Juliet with the fabric of the curtain, the light disappeared. It was then that Juliet came to her senses.
Juliet was surprised to find out that she was alive. She burst into tears, terrified that there were no signs of burns, and told her family what she remembered.
Even with her arrival, she went through the same process as Lana. However, in this case, perhaps because of what had happened beforehand, everyone was friendly.
The church recognized that Juliet was the missing ‘Juliet.’ She also had no memory of the spirit world and was amazed that she had no injuries.
Now, people’s eyes turned to the imperial family. Among the three people who disappeared, the guard knight and the maid appeared one after another, so now it was the turn of the missing Duchess to emerge.
Since their Emperor loved her so much, they thought it would be natural for her to appear. It was even rumored that she had made a contract with the Spirit King.
“Of course the Duchess will show up, right?”
“Hey, you dunce! Who’s a duchess? It’s the Empress now!”
“Of course she will come back. His Majesty is so sincere… … .”
But a day passed, then two days and then eight days passed, but Frisia did not appear.
Until then, no one believed in Frisia’s return. Everyone thought it was a lie told to keep the crazy Emperor’s spirit alive.
