Verosia's father is also the current emperor of the empire.
At that time, the Prime Minister sent the Third Princess, the Fourth Prince, and the Ninth Princess, who were not yet involved in politics and were still alive, to meet their father, the Emperor.
As for the others?
The fifth prince died young, the sixth prince Varian was stationed on the border, and the seventh princess and the eighth prince also died early in the century-long demon war.
Currently, only the Third Princess Eletta, the Fourth Prince Ignah, and the Ninth Princess Verosia are allowed to meet with the Emperor.
However, the Third Princess Eletta disregarded the Prime Minister's request.
In any case, the person who will eventually rule the entire country will definitely be a prince. The affairs of her eldest and second eldest brothers are none of her business. Furthermore, because she admires the Great General, her father is very cold towards her. She also joined the Royal Knights at a very young age, and now that she is the commander of the first regiment, she naturally will not accept the Prime Minister's request.
So the task fell to the fourth prince, Igna, and the ninth princess, Verosia.
Since the ninth princess, Verosia, was not yet of age, Igna, as her fourth brother, volunteered to meet the emperor.
He did bring with him many orders from his father, as well as written edicts and tokens of proof.
This effectively quelled the quarrel among the ministers in the capital.
However... since the emperor did not hold court, it was impossible for everyone to ask the fourth prince, Igna, every time. Therefore, only the eldest prince, Dalark, and the second prince, Tius, were allowed to plan the time for each other. Over time, the royal family and noble ministers in the entire capital were divided into three factions: one led by the eldest prince, one by the second prince, and one by the neutral faction led by the fourth prince.
However, the Prime Minister later discovered that the Fourth Prince was frequently going back and forth to the Emperor's bedchamber without bringing any decrees with him, which he found somewhat incomprehensible. Therefore, he asked the Ninth Princess to inquire about the reason.
“Ninth Sister, this is a warning from your brother.”
"Don't go near Father's bedroom, and of course, don't ask any questions."
The fourth prince, Igner, gave this answer.
Therefore, the Ninth Princess did not pursue the matter further until a year later when she came of age. Even at her coming-of-age ceremony, her father did not attend!
Her mother was very worried, but even they dared not guess the emperor's thoughts.
A chance encounter forced the Ninth Princess to visit her father's bedchamber... and there she witnessed that horrifying scene...
The Ninth Princess's mother has gone missing, and the clues point directly to the Emperor's bedroom. Adding to this is the Prime Minister's request and the Fourth Brother's warning...
In the end, the Ninth Princess still came to her father's door... and opened the forbidden door that she would regret.
The world beyond the door... was emptiness!
There was nowhere for Veroshia to stand! How did Fourth Brother get in?
However, Verocia immediately saw the stone slabs rising from her feet, and at that moment, her fourth brother's warning echoed in her ears.
Verosia was terrified and ran out immediately, but... suddenly a huge gravitational force appeared at the door and sucked her in!
"My child... will you also... join the Void?"
Father?
Enveloped in purple light, Verocia's spirit gradually sank into stillness, her limbs limply hanging down. She was being lifted into the void by her father, about to be swallowed by it...
"Stop!"
Mother?
Suddenly, Verocia's ascent was interrupted, and she fell back down. In her blurred vision, she saw an indistinct monster attacking her father, but her father calmly subdued her in an instant...
"Child, join the Void, we are one family, aren't we?"
The emperor's ruthless voice reached Verosia's ears, making her dizzy and at a loss.
She heard the sound of a door opening behind her, and suddenly a pair of hands pressed down on her shoulders...
"Didn't I tell you... not to come here...? Didn't you listen?"
Even though the voice was intermittent, she could still tell that it was her fourth brother's voice.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in her bedroom.
Bang bang bang!
"Ninth Princess? Are you in your dormitory?"
"prime minister?"
But when the Ninth Princess opened the door, she saw her father in the endless void again!
"Father" looked at the Ninth Princess, gradually melting into the throne, but his mouth still spoke:
"My child... will you also... join the Void?"
"ah!!!"
The Ninth Princess? The Ninth Princess!
The Prime Minister ordered his guards to force their way in, and the mentally unstable Veronica was taken to the Royal Hospital by the Prime Minister.
But the illusions appeared endlessly, even among the physicians and nuns!
No... I want to escape from here...
In her dazed state, Verocia inadvertently witnessed her fourth brother being swallowed up as well.
But how could that be? If my fourth brother hadn't saved me, how could I have escaped?
I have to tell my older brothers what happened here... I have to...!
"Ninth Sister, you're so disobedient."
Coming to her senses, the Ninth Princess stared blankly at her fourth brother, who had come to visit her. He wore the same smile as their father, the Emperor, but the Ninth Princess knew it was all just her imagination...
"It's not a hallucination."
Fourth Brother Igner shattered Ninth Princess's illusions, and just as the showdown was about to begin, the Prime Minister entered with his entourage.
"Tsk tsk, I'll let you live one more night in your current form. Now that you've seen the truth, you must join it, my Ninth Sister!"
Veroshia tried to call for help, but was knocked unconscious by her fourth brother. The prime minister, who had just entered, was also surprised that the fourth prince would come here.
