[SPECIAL CHAPTER] BIRTHDAY WISH

"WHAT a fool," Neoma said while looking at Emperor Nero's cold body, lying on the foot of the throne in the Cage. It was the dimension below the throne room, one that could only be accessed by the Rosehearts and the people they brought with them. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

Of course, her twin brother didn't respond.

He couldn't, for he was already long gone.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" she asked bitterly, biting her lower lip to stop herself from crying. They were still in the middle of a war, so she couldn't afford to mourn for her twin brother. "You lived recklessly after Empress Dahlia died, hoping to die as soon as possible in order to follow her."

But Nero couldn't kill himself because Empress Dahlia, on her deathbed, told him to live on and protect the people of the empire.

Hence, her foolish twin brother lived like he didn't have anything else to live for.
