Hikan returned to the study alone and touched his forehead. Cedric's story disturbed his mind.

Cedric is too much for a small child like Dalia to handle....... Well, it is now over anyway.

Transcendents are more tolerant with fellow transcendents. This is because they share different perspectives than others and know the same pain.

There are only five to six transcendents in one era.

Although they often become enemies because of their arrogant and self-deprecating personality, those who have once shared friendship remain friends for as long as possible.

Of course, there were many cases of marriage. There was a certain consensus between Hikan and the Emperor, so they could be close regardless of their age and status.

Cedric, on the other hand, was not on good terms with Hikan even though they were both transcendent.

Before meeting Dalia, Hikan's personality was worse than it is now, but Cedric was never innocent either.

Cedric smiled as Hikan became more sensitive at a social gathering after he was expelled from the family. (*t/n: sorry not sure about this one)

"Well, isn't crying about being kicked out of the house is a challenge to overcome for a five years old?"

He can't have a friend because he talks like that.

There was already a famous incident where he set fire to the entire residence of a noble after he rudely commented 'it's like it's on fire' when he saw the Empress flaming red hair.

There was also an incident that was often talked about in secret when he offered a blank check to a devastated noble and asked him to claim damages on his own.

He also heard some stories from Adrisha. If a subordinate makes a mistake, no matter how trivial it is, he or she will be fired right away.

If they invade his personal space or ask a few personal questions, they're fired.

It doesn't matter even if the person has worked there for 10 years or 20 years. A smiling face is just a mask to hide his contempt, Adrisha said with confidence, that he clearly despises everyone.

How did such a person like Cedric end up falling in love with Dalia?

It was more complicated because he couldn't think of any idea at all.

He recalled what he heard from the Emperor today.

Surprisingly, Cedric wasn't like that from birth. Rather, he heard from the Emperor that he was softer and milder than the average transcendent.

But there was a problem. It was because of Cedric's unusual constitution. For whatever reason, the Emperor's ability as a transcendent was partially manifested in the young Cedric.

Emperor Alexandro Duncan Michelio has the ability to read other people's emotions through physical contact.

However, Cedric had that power from birth, compared to the Emperor who gained his ability after he was 17.

It was completely different from Cedric's innate power as a transcendent - the multi-attribute magic.

Moreover, it was slightly different from the Emperor's power. He could read emotions without necessarily touching them, and he can perceive bad emotions more sensitively than the good ones.

Furthermore, the Imperial Palace is always filled with people with various purposes. Rather than a good person, a person with the desire for power or ambition visits this place.
