Chapter 43
âWhat a vicious fellow.â
It was then.
[A new quest has occurred. Do you want to check?]
âYes.â
[Save the Queen in crisis! (1)]
Empress Agnes Sylvester is currently in crisis.
You quickly found the answer with the least amount of clues.
The empress is greatly relieved to have gambled on you.
Itâs up to you from now on.
You donât know how much fate will change depending on whether you intervene in this case.
Fate has already changed.
The empress who broke the taboo and gave you a clue will soon fall down and wonât be able to get up for a while.
Itâs entirely up to you to decide whether to help her or not.
If you want to help the empress, find the culprit in this case!
â Find the true culprit of the condition
â Reward: 30 Fate Energy]
âThe Empress is about to fall?â
When I looked at her complexion in surprise, the empress was in a cold sweat.
âI have to go now. At this rate, the princessâ¦â¦â¦â
âYes. Before that.â
The empress was a good person who was in desperate need of someoneâs help, but worried that it would hurt me.
âOf course Iâll help.â
[You accepted the request]
âIâll give it to you, so please keep it with you.â
I took a small hand mirror out of the inventory and the empress opened her eyes wide.
âWhat is this?â
âItâs a communication seat disguised as a hand mirror. Please stick out your finger.â
âI see.â
The queenâs finger was put on the pattern on the back of the mirror.
[Would you like to register Empress Agnes Sylvester as a user of the adjusted communications table?]
âYes.â
When I answered, a white light came out of the mirror, surrounded the empress, and disappeared.
âItâs something only the Empress can use, so donât worry. Iâll contact you with this.â
âThank you. Thank you very much.â¦â¦â¦â
Then, I heard a buzz outside.
âYour Majesty, I have brought in the doctor. May I come in?â
For a moment, the empress and my eyes met.
âIf we stay like this, weâll get caught.â
âLeave it to me. Itâs my specialty.â
âIâd appreciate it if you did. I owe a lot to the princess.â
âDonât mention it.â
After the tacit agreement, I began to run amok.
âIs Your Majesty ignoring me? You canât do this to me!â
âP, Princess Brightonâ¦â¦.â
âWhat tea did you give me! Who do you think I am?â
Outside became quiet when her voice was heard.
âCalm down, princess.â
âPrincess? Really? Iâm the Duchess of Palesdon!â
âIâm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue.â
âYou must have ignored me! You canât do this no matter how many times you say youâre Her Majesty!â
She shouted so loudly that it could resonate with the Empress and bowed to the Empress.
âThis is believable enough. Iâll be on my way now.â
âThank you very much. I wonât forget the grace of my princess.â
We greeted each other for a moment and looked at each other warmly.
ThenI walked to the door with loud footsteps.
âPrincess, how can you go like that?â
âI will never let this go! Iâm not gonna let this slide!â
She slammed the door as if she hadnât heard the queen.
The ladies-in-waiting and the doctor standing in front of her flinched and avoided my eyes.
âWhat are you looking at? Are you watching? Did you see me?â
They were desperate not to make eye contact with me.
My notoriety was so high that they seemed to understand the situation in which I dared to run wild against the empress.
âButâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
There was an unexpected effect.
Roselinaâs natural talent after a long time was relieved her mind.
âAfter doing this, it fits me well.â
***
A few days later, the Empress.
The empress was lost in thought alone.
âItâs a good thing I asked Princess Brighton for help.â
The Empress was thrilled to hear what happened on the Duke of Brightonâs banquet day.
âThe Duchess of Palesdon did that?â
The power of action to delve into the truth that has been hidden for decades.
Even the cleverness of exposing the criminal most effectively.
Roselina was the only and best person who could help her.
And most of allâ¦â¦â¦â¦
âPrincess Brighton said she found the lost Prince Blake.â
The moment she heard the news, the empress burst into tears.
âHeâs alive. Fortunately, heâs aliveâ¦â¦â¦â
The fact that I couldnât tell Roselina because of the prohibition.
Felix, now the crown prince, was not her son.
The Empress, who found out that the lady-in-waiting was drawing her own blood, immediately went to Duke Blake.
âDuke, the lady-in-waiting is a little strange.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI know itâs hard to believe, but she draws my blood every night
âOh, what am I supposed to say?â
The face of Duke Blake, who was worried about his sister, changed as soon as the empress confessed.
âI canât believe you know that now. Itâs also dull.â
âWhat? What do you mean?â
âI canât help it. I need my sisterâs blood to turn my son into my sisterâs.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
The Queen was stunned by Duke Blakeâs bombshell.
âIt means I exchanged my sisterâs son with mine.â
âWhy on earth would youâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
âDonât make a big deal out of it and stay quiet. I need to be the Emperor like this.â
âDuke! You donât know Your Majestyâs favor and you rebel!â
âShut up, sister.â
Duke Blake, who slapped the empress hand, smiled despicably.
âYou donât know whoâs holding your sisterâs sonâs life?â
âI, Iâm sorry. Please, heâs the only oneâ¦â¦â¦â¦.â
âThen you have to listen to me.â
***
After that, Duke Blake proudly drew the blood of the empress.
The queen was forced to become a puppet of the duke because her sonâs life was at stake as a hostage and she was banned.
Roselina appeared in front of such an empress.
âItâs just a matter of whether sheâll reach out to me.â
The Empress wrote to Roselina as a last resort.
And the result, you know, was the best.
âThe princess I actually met was a much smarter one.â
On top of that, her acting skills were excellent.
Thanks to Roselinaâs mad dash, not even the maid of honor was suspicious.
Thanks to this, the empress was able to pass the day safely.
The empress smoothed the mirror Roselina had given her.
JING-
The mirror just happened to vibrate.
âPrincess Brighton!â
The mirror fluttered as the empress brought her finger.
âHer Majesty, how have you been?â
It was Roselinaâs face that soon came to mind in the silent mirror.
âYeah. Howâs the princess doing?â
âSure. Youâve been well, so letâs get straight to it.â
âYes, I will.â
The empress nodded.
âThere will be a gold medal at stake, so if my guess is correct, please blink three times in a row.â
âI see.â
âDuke Blake exchanged his son for your son, didnât he? Her Majesty would be prohibited from speaking on this.â
ââ¦â¦!â
How do you do that?
It is true that the princess wanted to find out, but I didnât expect her to find out so soon.
The empress was choked up.
The princess revealed a secret that no one had ever recognized and could not.
âFinally, I have hope.â
The hope of meeting her son who was taken away immediately after giving birth and had never hugged him.
The hope of escaping her heinous brother.
I can live like a normal personâ¦â¦â¦â¦
Hope.
The rising inside her made my eyes red.
âOh, well, this isnât the time.â
I had to give the signal to the princess quickly.
âBlink your eyes three times.â
The empress blinked hastily.
âAll right, trust me now.â
âThank you⦠Thank youâ¦â
Roselina grinned over the mirror.
It was the most reliable smile.
After the end of the communication
It was the notification that came to mind in the mirror.
[âFinding out the forbidden wordâ by Empress Agnes Sylvester has been confirmed]
[Quest has been completed]
[The 40 destiny energy will be given as a reward]
âAs expected.â
And a new notification came to mind.
After checking the notification, I got up from my seat.
Yes.
