ㅤChapter 53
ㅤA young girl entered the throne room gracefully and bowed beautifully before the Emperor.
ㅤ
ㅤ”To His Majesty Theodore Leonard Langley, Emperor of the Langley Empire, I, Aquamarine・Snow・Delphire, First Princess of the Belheim Kingdom, present myself.”
ㅤ”You have come a long way. Although this is a humble country, please make yourself comfortable.”
ㅤ”I am grateful for your consideration. However, I have come this time to fulfill my promise as a Saintess. I intend to dedicate my prayers with all my might for the people of Langley.”
ㅤ
ㅤAquamarine smiled sweetly. She knew the exact angle of her lips, how much to show her white teeth, and how wide to open her eyes to make her smile look the most charming. She knew that any man would be attracted to her if she smiled like this.
ㅤAs calculated, Theodore, who was initially expressionless, is now staring intently at her.
ㅤ
ㅤ(I heard the Langley Emperor was a violent barbarian, but he’s quite handsome! It’s a waste for Onee-sama, so I have to let her know that on this occasion. Theodore-sama definitely prefers me to the plain Onee-sama.)
ㅤ
ㅤWith these dark thoughts in her mind, Aquamarine finished her greetings and left the throne room.
ㅤAs if waiting for the door of the hall to close, Arnold, who was standing behind Theodore, swiftly approached his master.
ㅤ
ㅤ”That’s what you call shameless. She blatantly called herself the First Princess, and there was no apology for the trouble she caused our country. She even tried to s*duce you as she left.”
ㅤ”She’s a Saintess who can’t even purify her own heart. Her true colors are showing.”
ㅤ
ㅤIt pains me to think how Princess Ruby endured such a family. It was pitiful that she was confined to the tower and abused, but I even thought that it might have been a blessing in disguise that she grew up away from her family.
ㅤArnold lowered his eyes to the documents in his hand. It was a meticulous plan that he had spent the last few days working on with Theodore.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Regarding the reception and stay schedule for Princess Aquamarine, is it alright to proceed without any changes?”
ㅤ”The schedule is fine as is. Our goal is one thing: to humiliate Princess Aquamarine without any fault on our part, and make her never want to set foot on this country’s soil again.”
ㅤ
ㅤTheodore said flatly, and his close aide nodded in agreement.
ㅤ
ㅤ”It’s become ridiculous to bow down to such a Saintess. Langley has its pride, so let’s do this thoroughly.”
ㅤ”I’m counting on you. By the way, how is Princess Ruby doing?”
ㅤ”She is living quietly in the log house with the maid. There haven’t been any particular movements.”
ㅤ”That’s good.”
ㅤ
ㅤTheodore sighed, a sigh filled with complex emotions.
ㅤ
ㅤ”I can’t even talk to her calmly until we get rid of Princess Aquamarine……”
ㅤ
ㅤUntil just a few days ago, they had seen each other every single day for half a year. Now they were back to a relationship where they couldn’t meet without a reason.
ㅤThere were so many things he wanted to ask her if he called her over. But that wouldn’t do. It wouldn’t mean anything unless she came to him on her own.
ㅤShe was so close, within reach, yet that one step felt so far away. It was frustrating.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Your Majesty, let’s go. We have to prepare for the welcome banquet.”
ㅤ”—Right.”
ㅤ
ㅤUrged by Arnold, he left the throne room.

- More releases: We’re ramping up production!
- KR translations: We’ve decided to resume KR translations, albeit in smaller numbers due to the higher costs. Thankfully, we have a dozen private sponsors for these projects, which gives us a budget to produce around 500–700+ (KR)chapters a month.
- Sponsor-specific releases: Some sponsors have requested us to translate works already published on Novel Updates that have active translators. As a result, these translations won’t be published on NU and will be available exclusively on our website. Additionally, we’ve disabled indexing for sponsor-exclusive novels on search engines, so you won’t find them there.

Ruby Rose Delphire, the first princess of the Kingdom of Belheim, was feared for her ability as a “Poison User,” shunned by her family and confined. One day, Ruby is informed that she is to be married off to the Langley-Empire, also known as the Demon Country, as a stand-in for her younger sister, the saintly Aquamarine.
Unaware of the deceit, Ruby marries into the new kingdom but is soon discovered by her husband, Theodore, on the first day. “I wanted the saint’s sister. You are unnecessary, so I do not consider you my wife,” he declares.
