Vivian covered her mouth tedly, but it was toote.


    “W, who are you?”


    I’ve been caught…….


    As Vivian despaired, her gaze ovepped with the blondedy.


    The woman stopped in the middle of gathering her clothes and turned towards the direction of the sound as she trembled. It was natural for her to be incredibly flustered by the fact that there was someone else here other than herself. Since she was half-undressed, it would be odder if she wasn’t embarrassed.


    “T… that I…….”


    It was the first time Vivian looked straight at her face. Vivian tried to exin, but she became speechless and stared nkly at thedy. Thedy, who held both the Emperor and Duke on either side of her, was immensely beautiful.


    Though it was a bit messy, her hair was blonde and came down to her waist. Those green eyes shone so brightly that it appeared artificial and were filled to the brim with tears. Underneath the corners of her eyes lifted upwards coyly, her red cheeks oddly stimted sadism.


    She looked like an innocent white swan and a sensual femme fatale at the same time. The kind of face one would want to tease till it became a mess.


    At the moment, Vivian understood. It was a beauty that made a woman like herself watch speechlessly, but for men, the urges must have been stronger. The words of an<em>unsurpassable beauty that causes the rise and fall of nations</em>refer to people like her.


    There was no doubt that thisdy was the very one who had embraced both the Emperor and the Duke, but……. what Vivian was astonished by was not only thedy’s beauty.


    “…Carden?”


    Carden. Thedy from the Household of Viscount Fromandi.


    Vivian knew this face. Before the Household had be bankrupt, she was a childhood friend she’d seen often. Thest time she’d seen Carden was when she was a young girl, but her face was the exact same as back then, so she was able to identify her with one nce.


    Carden blinked her wide, tearful eyes and asked. Her weak voice sounded as if it would fade away at any moment.


    “Vivian? Is it really you, Vivian?”


    “And you, Carden, are you really Carden?”


    “Howe, in this ce…….?”


    “That’s what I should ask!”


    <em>Oh my.</em>She wasn’t sure how many years it had been. Since thest time they’d seen was when she was ten years, so was it the first time in 14 years?


    Vivian quickly finished the calction in her head. And a momentter, she realized this wasn’t the time to loiter. She quickly gathered Carden’s clothes around her and helped her up.


    “I, I’ll stand up. ……Ah!”


    Carden pped about as if she was embarrassed and pushed away Vivian and nearly tripped on her feet. It was all because she couldn’t feel her legs. Vivian hurriedly gathered the falling girl into her arms.


    Vivian pretended to not see the love juice mixed with semen that rode down her legs. And after air was filled silence for a while, with a ‘Hm…’, she asked carefully.


    “Are you okay with staying here for a while? As you can tell, the Royal Library is open at night as well.”


    In other words, people coulde at any moment. At that, Carden, whose face had grown red and looked as if it would erupt at any moment, stopped her rebellious iling. She appeared to have epted Vivian’s goodwill.


    Rather than meeting the morning in the library dressed in ripped clothes, it was better to obediently follow the instructions of her childhood friend.


    Carden, who had been silent, opened her mouth and asked awkwardly with a timid voice.


    “So…… You saw everything?”


    “Yup. Without intending to. In truth, I’ve been working here as the night librarian ever since that day.”


    “I… I see.”


    It wasn’t just to see for the sake of it. She had been excited at the thought of new material that she had written it down in her notebook to the very detail.


    <em>Before I found out it was her, I thought it was just some lustful pervert. What happened in 14 years for such a naive and puredy to…….</em>
