WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, PROVOKING THE QUEEN LIKE THAT?!
WHAT WILL YOU DO IF THAT WOMAN TELLS THE GRAND GENERAL?!

Haa...
DO YOU STILL NOT REALIZE WHAT YOU’VE DONE?
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EXHAUSTING AN ALL-OUT WAR WITH PHARNAS WOULD BE RIGHT NOW?!
TO THINK YOU’RE THIS TERRIFIED OF THAT GIRL!
WHERE DID THE MAN WHO ONCE JOINED HANDS WITH THE EMPIRE TO MARCH INTO BATTLE GO?
GRAND DUCHESS!
WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY GAIN BY PLAYING IT SO SAFE?
WE TOOK A RISK WITH ANTEVASILLA, BUT IT ULTIMATELY BECAME OURS!
THERE'S NO NEED TO WALK ON EGGSHELLS AROUND THAT GI—!
ENOUGH!
EVEN THAT...
ENOUGH!!
IF THAT CROWN PRINCE HADN’T HELPED US...
WE WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN DARED TO START THAT WAR.
DID YOU NOT KNOW OUR NATION'S POWER HAS WANED BECAUSE OF THAT RECKLESS WAR?
DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE FOR US TO STOP THAT GRAND GENERAL RIGHT NOW?!
STILL, HE'S JUST A MORTAL WHO'LL DIE WHEN STABBED.
WE CAN JUST KILL HIM!
TRULY...
IGNORANCE BREEDS BRAVERY.
DURING TALGISIN'S REBELLION, WALTER HEIBERGH...
AAARGH, DIE!!
ANNIHILATED AN ENTIRE SQUADRON IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
THAT MAN IS NOT HUMAN.
RIGHT.
I SEE...
EVERYTHING WENT WRONG THE MOMENT YOU DELUDED YOURSELF INTO THINKING WE COULD KILL HIM.
IN FACT, IT WENT WRONG STARTING WITH YOUR IDIOTIC PLAN!
IDIOTIC?
WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU SO AFRAID?
WE JUST NEED TO COOPERATE WITH THE EMPIRE AGAIN THIS TIME-
THAT AGREEMENT WAS BROKEN AGES AGO! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT THE CROWN PRINCE WILL COOPERATE?!
PLEASE!
IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK BACK, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT EMPTY HEAD OF YOURS FIRST!
UGH!
HOW DARE HE...
A LECHE- ROUS OLD MAN LIKE HIM...
TREATING ME LIKE SOME HALF-WIT.
IF IT WEREN'T FOR HIS STATUS, HE WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO SPEAK A SINGLE WORD TO ME IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE!
IF ONLY I...
HAD BEEN BORN INTO A GOOD FAMILY,
WITHOUT THAT FILTHY MAN,
I COULD HAVE LIVED A NOBLE LIFE.
I HAVE PREPARED THE BEDROOM SLAVES.
SLIP THE DRUG INTO HIS HIGHNESS'S TEA BEFORE HE GOES TO SLEEP.
HE LOOKED EXCEPTIONALLY TIRED TONIGHT.
YES, YOUR HIGHNESS.
GRAND DUCHESS, GOOD EVENING.
AH...
HE'S SO HANDSOME...
A-AH, I MEAN...
Y-YOUR HIGHNESS, WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE...?
I WAS JUST WALKING AIMLESSLY AND FOUND MYSELF HERE.
The garden is quite beautiful.
HE FOUND HIMSELF AT MY QUARTERS BY WALKING AIMLESSLY?
PAST ALL THOSE GUARDS?
YOU LOOK DISPLEASED.
IT MUST BE BECAUSE OF THE BANQUET.
I-I'M FINE.
MORE IMPOR- TANTLY, UM...
I HEARD YOU PROPOSED TO THE QUEEN OF PHARNAS?
...AH, I DID.
SINCE THE GRAND DUKE WAS KEEPING ME AT ARM'S LENGTH,
I HAD NO CHOICE.
I HAD TO KEEP THE THREE KINGDOMS IN CHECK.
C-CUTE.
SO, YOU DIDN'T PROPOSE OUT OF LOVE.
LOVE?
I WAS TOO TRANSPARENT.
I MEAN—
I NEED TO CLEAR UP THIS MISUNDER- STANDING.
I HAVE HELD YOU IN MY HEART FOR A LONG TIME.
NOT THE QUEEN, BUT YOU, GRAND DUCHESS...
NARKEHATRA.
ME, NOT THE QUEEN...!
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
NARKEHATRA.
WHAT IS IT YOU WISH FOR?
I WISH TO BE CALLED BY A NAME NOBLER THAN GRAND DUCHESS.
VERY WELL.
I WISH FOR YOU TO BE MY ONE AND ONLY WOMAN.
CROWN PRINCESS, AND THE FUTURE EMPRESS.
Chapter Summary
Dawn of Vengeance Chapter 69 opens with a heated argument sparked by Grand Duchess Narkahatra provoking the Queen, heightening fears of an all-out war with Pharnas. The man facing her accuses her of recklessness, of underestimating Pharnas's power, and of thinking they could kill Grand General Walter Heibergh. Left feeling humiliated after the argument, Narkahatra longs for a noble name, while the Crown Prince who comes to her chambers at night tells her that he values her, not the Queen, and offers to make her Crown Princess and Empress.
