Having already settled down her initial anxiety, Emilia hesitantly picked Cynthia up from the seemingly uncomfortable position she was in, and made her way over to the somewhat more organized center of the pillow nest. Even if she knew that it was impossible for the raven-haired girl to get any cramps or kinks in her neck regardless of how she 'slept', the crimson-haired girl felt much better after she settled her partner down in a much more natural position, though the position of one…

Meanwhile, back in Blue Dawn, Penny stood shell-shocked after listening to Emilia's explanation of why she had the knights stay out of the arguments regarding the new policies. 'So what I was trying to do on my own wasn't helping her, but the other way around instead?!' The thought made the petite girl so ashamed that she didn't even dare to think about touching Emilia. It was one thing to do good deeds and not leave a name, but if Emilia found out about her actions and misunderstood…

Of course, even among the Nightingale clan, few had such beautifully lustrous silver hair as 'Bozo', and none of them were blessed with such clear, sharp silver eyes. Just one look at them had left her dazzled when she first saw him, and she almost couldn't believe it when she heard that the boy had come off the streets. Weren't people like that the worst in the world according to her mother? How could they look so good, then? Later on, once she learned that the boy was…

The ridicule that Emilia had invited on herself by her recent policy changes was no secret, but given his own circumstances, Mr. Black really couldn't bring himself to care about it much. Right now, his only priority was to keep his son safe while finalizing his plan with the Nightingale clan's leader. After all, unless they overcame their current crisis, there was simply no point in gloating over the misfortune of anyone else. Unfortunately, with the example of the Old Snake…

Despite being strictly ordered not to interfere, it didn't take long for the knights to start 'rebelling' to join the citizens of Blue Dawn in their fight against those who were slandering Emilia. After all, if being a part of the royal knights meant that they could no longer even defend the honor of their princess, what was even the point? Even if they one day were able to stand in front of her, would they even be able to look her in the eye? With vicious insults and mockery…

Before videos and discussions related to Emilia's announcement had spread, Alexander Gray's murder and the Black Tiger's 'collapse' were without a doubt the most hotly debated topics around. From diplomatic discussions to family dinner tables, people simply couldn't help but poke at it from time to time. After all, even though Amos Black was the 'most likely' murderer, the mystery still wasn't set in stone. And although it was in somewhat bad taste, there were already dozens…

Emilia's 'shared cost' model for medical treatment of the empire's citizens wasn't something that no one could imagine, but it still caused a sensation amongst the people. "You mean that regardless of how we get a disease or injury, we'll be treated at any hospital in the empire for free?!" Although it definitely sounds good, some couldn't help but be worried. Were the doctors and hospitals supposed to be working for free? Obviously not! Even if they were forced to…

Watching such a huge number of heads bobbing up and down in agreement, Emilia barely managed to suppress her amused smile as she pretended to clear her throat. "A-hem, another problem that no one seems to care about is what happens to people who have been forsaken by their own." She paused, the amusement in her eyes fading away this time. "More often than not, those who dare to speak out against a corrupt system only manage to spark some small change on the larger scale, if that, but…

"I'm sure everyone in Blue Dawn knows that you don't need a license from me or anyone else to be together with your lover, right?" While everyone was still encouraged to register their marriage with the civil affairs bureau, that was more for the peace of mind and convenience of the couple than anything else. But the people below the stage couldn't help but stare back at their empress in confusion, as if wondering where she could be going. Wasn't she just talking…
-
Although she only became Blue Dawn's empress recently, and had also been a part of the rebellion that took down the previous government, most people still considered Emilia to be someone separate from the 'normal people'. This view stemmed from both Emilia's outstanding background as well as her gorgeous appearance, as most people simply couldn't imagine someone like her living right next to them as a normal person. Of course, given everything she'd done in both the rebellion…
