The Rags-to-Riches Heroine Appears.
Clois ascended the throne after killing his own brothers.
Becoming Emperor wasn’t driven by personal greed, but for the sake of his beloved wife and their unborn child. However, all his efforts were in vain. Upon his victorious return, all that awaited him were the cold corpses of his wife and child.
Seven years later.
He could no longer find interest in anything in the world.
That was why he remained indifferent to the entrance exams for the Gifted Academy, held for the first time in seven years.
Until he saw a crumpled application form rolling across the floor.
“This is an application. Why was it thrown away?”
“Well, that is… because the applicant’s qualifications were severely lacking…”
The minister, who was trying to push his own child into the academy, offered a pathetic excuse.
A document tossed away like trash, never even reviewed simply because the child was from the almshouse.
“I authorize this child’s admission.”
It wasn’t because he felt any particular interest.
It was merely a warning to the ministers who thought they could act as they pleased.
Because of that, he didn’t even bother to remember the name of the child he had chosen.
“My name is Evie Alden.”
But the child he met in front of his wife and daughter’s grave looked exactly like the daughter he had always imagined.
