"Wasn't it hard for you to come? O, oh I can see you’ve grown up. I’m proud, yet also felt sad at the same time."
Since when did he take care of me like that?
I grabbed the hem of my skirt, hiding my ridiculous innermost thoughts. After bending my knees lightly, I replied in a cheerful voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Why do you thank me?"
"Your Majesty, the father of the empire, took care of the empire well so that I can grow up nicely. That's why I should always be grateful to His Majesty."
‘Hey, old man. This is my fourth life.'
The emperor burst into laughter after hearing my flattery. It was a skill I acquired after being a beggar.
"Lady really makes me happy."
"It's an honor."
"Oh, right. When you go back, take the imperial carriage. You'll be able to get around more comfortably than Dubbled’s carriage."
I didn't hesitate to shout "Wow!" and said my thanks.
When a superior gives something, it is better to receive it and be happy than to decline it.
As expected, the emperor grinned with a happy face.
"Have a good time in the Imperial Palace. Send my regards to empress dowager."
"Yes, I will."
The emperor nodded with a gracious face and walked past me.
Then Laura, who came with me, whispered with a happy face.
"Even His Majesty doesn't know what to do because you're pretty."
Of course I’ll be pretty in his eyes.
I have God’s sentence on my feet, I’m useful to him.
And I'm gonna take advantage of this too.
I glanced around. The courtiers walking after the emperor were busy averting their eyes.
‘Yes, parrots. Go and spread the rumors that the emperor is very fond of me.'
To me, the emperor was a sly old man, but to others, he was the sun of the empire.
My status would rise when the rumours are spread.
‘Good, good.'
I hummed my way to the palace of the empress dowager.
"I greet the empress dowager."
As I opened my skirt wide and spoke, the empress dowager quickly grabbed my hand.
"We don't need courtesy between us. Come on, child. Sit here. What kind of tea did you enjoy? Asam? Darjeeling? I already have the chocolate scones you said you liked."
‘The God’s sentence impact is amazing.'
Not long ago, the empress dowager was pretty hostile to me.
Because of the godmother incident, my bad relationship with Elizabeth, and my influence in Princess Ingrid’s divorce. However, since the rumour about the sentence got out, she changed her attitude immediately.
"I heard that you faint. It must be hard."
The empress dowager spoke in a worried voice and gently stroked the back of my hand.
"Thank you for your concern. But I'm fine now."
"Yes, you’re so brave. But why do you faint……?"
She glanced at my feet, asking in a subtle tone. She seemed to be desperate to see my feet.
I answered snarkily as if I knew nothing.
"The doctors said it’s because of shock after receiving God’s sentence."
"God's Sentence! Oh, can you show me?"
I nodded and carefully took off my shoes. I counted the signals inside, one, two, three. I prepared my mind and poured divine power to the tattoo drawn by Trigon.
The empress dowager looked at the sentence that came to my feet with trembling eyes and shut her mouth.
"Oh my……."
‘Look, doesn’t it look real?'
It is highly plausible if she knew about God's sentence since she had good relations with the pope.
"I knew it. Child, I've never doubted you. I believed you were the daughter of God who would bring the empire good luck. Oh, I'm so happy!"
She tried to calm her excitement by covering her mouth with both hands.
After a while, she opened her mouth again after emptying the cup of water.
"Child……"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I always stayed in the palace and it’s boring to do the same routine. As a result, there are quite a few people who tell me various stories."
‘What is she trying to say?'
As I closed my eyes, she lowered her eyes and continued,
"Are you close with Camilla’s grandson?"
"Godmother's grandson… ah, Lionel?"
I corrected her but she frowned when she heard the word ‘godmother’.
"Yes, he seemed to be following you. He even offered flowers to you, right?"
‘Aha, she was worried that I might be connected to her grandson.'
If someone from the imperial family took in the true child of fate, they will have more legitimacy.
It seemed like she was worried that Lionel would take me.
"No. I became friends with him accidentally, he looked up to me like a sister."
"Is that so?!"
The empress dowager nodded with a happy face. When she realizes that her innermost thoughts were revealed too much, she smiled awkwardly.
"I was just curious about Lady's well-being, but I heard the story. How have you been?"
I nodded as if I didn't know her dark innermost thoughts.
"Yes, I've been well."
"I haven't heard from you lately. What are you doing these days?"
"I read books and draw pictures."
"It's a nice day, but why don't you go and see the flowers?"
"I could see the flowers in the greenhouse. I like violets, so the gardeners keep them in bloom all year round."
"That's great. There's a swallowtail butterfly in the palace's greenhouse. Do you want to see?"
"Can I see it?"
"Of course."
I arrived at the conservatory under the guidance of the empress dowager. But as soon as we arrived, the empress dowager's attendant ran to us with a troubled expression.
"There was a commotion in the Imperial Palace."
"A commotion. Who dares to do that?"
"Empress Yvonne…"
"What?"
Her attendant looked at me and whispered to the empress dowager. She sighed and looked at me.
"I’ve got something to do. Just take a look around for a second. I'll be right back."
"Yes, don’t worry about me."
"That's nice of you."
The empress dowager laughed and stroked my hair. And she left the greenhouse, her expression hardened, perhaps because it was quite urgent.
‘What's going on?'
I ordered the chairman to check and went inside the greenhouse.
‘It's been a long time since I first came here.’
The last time I visited here was in my second life.
It is a very beautiful place as it is the garden of the most important people in the empire.
There were well-groomed trees, an artificial waterfall with clear water, colorful scenery created by all kinds of flowers, and butterflies gathered along with the sweet smell of flowers.
The garden was impeccable.
‘It’s so pretty but somehow looks bleak.'
While I was walking with that thought in mind, I heard a scream.
"Can't you hear me?! You son of a bitch!"
There was a subtle scream, as if the scream was muffled. I turned my head to the direction where I could hear the voice.
Above the wall made of rose vines, I could see a glimpse of dark curly hair.
He was a boy who dared to shout in the imperial conservatory, and he has the same color as Empress Yvonne.
‘Prince Andre.'
He is famous for being a jerk, and I have suffered from his wrath firsthand in my first life, I immediately frowned when I thought of him.
I shook my head and turned away.
‘It's better not to run into Prince Andre as much as possible.‘
While I was about to run away,
"You still don't get it, Adrian."
Adrian?
I turned my head in surprise.
Then I looked down again, I saw familiar blonde hair.
"Then tell the emperor. Your victory in swordsmanship was all a trick."
"You bribed the referee and even tampered with the sword."
"You bastard……!"
Andre grabbed Adrian's collar, who was sitting, and lifted him up.
The two were born in the same year, but Adrian is much taller, although Andre, who is pampered by Empress Yvonne, should be taller since he ate nutritious meals.
"Don't be silly and do what you're told! Who do you think he will believe? Do you think the halo of Duke Dubbled was on your back when the commoner orphan girl offered to be your escort? Don’t speak recklessly if you know that."
"Take back your words."
Adrian's voice was lowered. It was overwhelming. To the point where Andre was even shocked.
Adrian flinched but replied,
"What do you want me to cancel? Am I wrong?”
"She’s not a commoner orphan. She’s Leblaine."
"……What?"
Andre burst into a grin as if he was dumbfounded.
"You’re right. She’s the child of fate with a shallow bloodline. A commoner who will be used by the nobles-"
Wham!!
Andre rolled on the floor with a loud sound.
Adrian looked coldly down at Andre, as he was stunned.
"Y, you……."
Adrian has never retaliated since he was born. This is because the empress dowager died and Empress Yvonne took control, so he couldn’t act recklessly. But…
"H, how dare you hit me?"
Blood dripped down from Andre’s nose. He was even more stunned after seeing the blood from his nose.
I felt like I wanted to scream.
‘Hey, you idiot! Why would you do that!'
At that moment,
"Lady, you were here…… oh my."
"Andre!!"
The empress dowager came back with Empress Yvonne and the emperor behind her back.
Adrian’s eyes widened when he realized that I was here.
"Second prince, what in the world happened……!"
"M, mother……."
When Andre put on a pitiful face, I burst into tears.
"Huwaaa……!"
Let’s save Adrian first.
