The Imperial Court of Internal Affairs Chapter 19 has been released. In the realm of Tenebrous, where the omnipresent force of Veritas enforces a rigid order, the art of deception has become an indispensable virtue. Within this intricate web of lies, Prince Aien stands as a paradox – the sole individual born with a unique condition known as spiritual muteness, rendering him immune to the effects of Veritas. This anomaly has spared him from the cruel fate of exile, and instead, Aien dedicates his life to prove that the muted are not only trustworthy, but also vital cogs in the machinery of the empire. However, the fragile balance of power is disrupted when the empire's leaders orchestrate a carefully crafted scandal to quell the brewing civil war. Aien is coerced into feigning a passionate affair with Princess Kasumin, the fiancée of the Emperor himself. As the delicate dance of deception unfolds, Aien finds himself entangled in a complex web of intrigue, with Kasumin at its center. But Kasumin is not the only one with secrets; her enigmatic sellsword, Nuo, harbors a hidden agenda that threatens to upend the very foundations of the empire. As Aien navigates this treacherous landscape, he must confront the harsh reality that the truth is a luxury few can afford. The realm is on the precipice of chaos, and the fate of the empire hangs in the balance. Will Aien's unique gift prove to be the key to maintaining the status quo, or will the weight of his lies ultimately lead to his downfall? The Imperial Court of Internal Affairs is a gripping tale of deception, loyalty, and the blurred lines between truth and fiction, where the only constant is the ever-shifting landscape of power and intrigue.
