Isabella fell silent. She opened and closed her mouth a few times, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know what.
A few moments later, she composed herself and smiled.
"Do you suspect that I'm Yuki Taira?"
Seira giggled.
"Something like that. But I won't pry any further. You must have your reasons, right?"
Isabella laughed. She realized there was no point in hiding it anymore.
She nodded.
"You're right. I am Yuki Taira. Isabella is just an alias. As for why I changed my identity, well..."
She rubbed her chin.
"Just for fun?"
Seira: "..."
"Just kidding." Isabella laughed again. Her expression softened as she continued. "Back then, I was pretty stubborn and rebellious. My father wanted me to inherit the title of Eastern Emperor, but I had no interest in it."
She let out a sigh.
