Can I Cry Now?

After killing his brother, Clois ascends to the throne.

His desire to become emperor was not for personal gain but for the sake of his beloved wife and soon-to-be-born child. However, upon his return, the corpses of his wife and child greeted him, demonstrating the futility of his efforts.

Seven years later,

He couldn’t find joy in anything in the world.

So, he didn’t care about the re-opening of the gifted academy’s admissions after seven years.

Until he saw a wrinkled application form rolling on the floor.

“It’s an application form, why did you throw it away?”

“That’s because it was submitted by someone who lacked very much in qualifications……”

Instead of trying to enroll the child in the gifted academy, he offered various excuses.

The document, thrown away like tr*sh without even being considered due to being from a workhouse.

“I approve this child’s admission.”

He wasn’t particularly interested.

It was just a warning to those who tried to act arbitrarily.

So he couldn’t even remember the name of the child he picked.

“My name is Ivy Alden.”

The child he met in front of his wife’s and daughter’s graves resembled the daughter he had always imagined.
