LONG OVERDUE CONFESSION

NICHOLAI was shocked.

To be honest, "shocked" was an understatement. He couldn't believe the things that Neoma just told him. How could he believe that this wasn't his daughter's first life? That this was already the third?

[Nero killed Neoma in her first life?]

And he allowed it to happen?

Hah.

He was being a hypocrite.

Just a few years ago, he tried to sacrifice Neoma to extend Nero's lifespan when his son was cursed. Knowing himself, he knew that it was possible for him to allow his heir to kill his daughter who might be a threat to his position. Although their empire's law didn't allow female royals to take the throne, their ancestors had always been wary about the women in the Royal Family.

[Allowing my heir apparent to kill his twin sister is something that I would have done if I was still the same person as I was a few years ago.]
