"This makes me feel uncomfortable," Han Yanyan said. "How can someone lacking in emotions overturn the imperial system for the sake of the people's welfare?"
"It's highly contradictory. Logically, it doesn't make sense. So I think what the duke seeks by overthrowing the imperial system cannot possibly be something like democracy."
"Then, I dare to speculate what exactly the duke... is pursuing?"
"Oh?" The attendant's expression changed not at all. "So according to your guess, what would that answer be?"
Han Yanyan glanced at the man beside her. He was strong and resolute, wielding great power.
"It was merely a vague suspicion, and I even found it a bit laughable at first, wishing to dismiss that notion," she continued. "But then… seeing a man like you being bound by something like a ‘vow,’ I realized that perhaps I had... touched upon the truth."
She raised her head and met the attendant's gaze, asking, "Is it true that only in white can make the enemy's blood appear even more beautiful?"
The attendant stared at this woman for a long time.
His reaction gave Han Yanyan her answer; she nodded. "It is just as I thought."
"I think I’ve come to understand the duke. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to wake up in the next world. If it weren't for Leo Parker’s initial tricks and cover-ups, he might have woken even sooner."
