“Who dares to give orders to whom right now?”
At the most exquisite timing, Shallen burst through the office door.
“It’s nothing, Your Majesty.”
Rose smiled awkwardly while holding documents and a pen in both hands.
Kasallin accurately grasped Rose’s true intentions during the brief moment when the fine dust piled on the console slightly floated into the air.
Rose had heard the sound of Shallen approaching just before the office door opened.
And she suddenly changed her attitude to avoid showing Shallen that she was trying to dump all the work on her sister.
“Nothing indeed. I just heard exactly what Kasallin was saying to you from outside the door before I entered.”
“I’m still clumsy with work… No, to be honest, I was trying to ask my sister for help. So my sister must have been frustrated. Please forgive me with your generous heart.”
Shallen opened his eyes drowsily toward ‘his wife’s handmaiden’ with an unbelievable expression.
“You surely didn’t try to teach the Queen in such a manner, did you?”
Kasallin gathered her patience and took a slow deep breath.
“There is a misunderstanding.”
“What misunderstanding.”
“Her Majesty the Queen said that performing official duties was difficult, so I tried to teach her a little. However, Your Majesty tried to entrust all the work to me, saying she had an appointment, and I merely advised that she should fulfill her duties as Queen herself.”
“So in conclusion, you’re saying you were wrong.”
Pure puzzlement appeared on Kasallin’s face.
“Why?”
“You might have intended it as advice, but surely you didn’t say all those words with the polite honorific language filled with courtesy and respect.”
“She became Her Majesty the Queen overnight from being my younger sister. She’s not yet accustomed to honorifics. I will be careful from this time forward.”
“It’s not just the way of speaking.”
Shallen walked across the brilliantly polished office floor and immediately made Rose stand up from the desk.
The two people standing side by side as husband and wife looked like an allied army trying to drive out the enemy named Kasallin.
As if showing off, and as if it were so natural, Kasallin unconsciously looked at the two people’s clasped hands before hastily turning her gaze away.
She couldn’t believe that those hands were the same ones that had affectionately stroked her head just a few weeks ago. Kasallin felt her chest tighten suffocatingly.
“As you said, Rose has just become Queen. How unfamiliar and frightening this enormous palace must be. Yet the person who is her sister and handmaiden cannot even look over a few reports?”
“Just a few reports? There are many important matters that immediately concern the people’s fate. If not now, and if Her Majesty the Queen, who is the monarch of the Khan Kingdom, doesn’t review these major issues, then who will look after the people’s welfare?”
“You’re mistaken about something. The monarch of the Khan Kingdom is me. Rose is my lifelong companion who helps me.”
When Shallen said this, Rose became like a startled rabbit, glancing at him, then wore a subtle smile on her lips that couldn’t be completely hidden.
It was definitely not something to smile about.
Even though it meant the Queen didn’t need to be deeply involved in state affairs, Rose foolishly didn’t understand the true meaning.
“It’s fine, Queen. Right now, you just need to stay healthy. That’s enough for me.”
“I don’t know where to put myself from your encouragement, Your Majesty.”
“Oh my. Your eyes are welling up with tears again. Is it because you’re still young? Our Queen is so easily moved by even trivial matters.”
Unlike someone else.
Shallen muttered as if deliberately for Kasallin to hear.
He seemed to have no understanding of how a single word carelessly uttered with the attitude of ‘you try feeling bad too’ could drive someone’s heart to the depths of despair.
Kasallin felt the resentful tears that she had barely relieved by spending the night on the bathroom floor so cold her skin froze were welling up again.
‘Someday he will ruin Rose.’
With the plausible sweet talk of protecting and cherishing her, he would turn Rose into a fool who couldn’t do anything.
A puppet Queen who would only repeat “Do as you lords wish” even when corrupt nobles presented wrong opinions.
Along with gold and silver treasures that would pour in without lifting a finger, including retainers who would treat her like precious jade.
Kasallin could dare to be certain that all of these things would turn Rose into an incompetent and arrogant person.
After all, Rose had already been changing little by little from the moment she received that unexpected proposal from Shallen.
Kasallin bit her lower lip with all her might, suppressing her grief as she spoke.
“The great festival is coming soon. Countless royalty and nobles will gather in the ‘Rnel Empire’ for the great festival, and if they ask Her Majesty the Queen about international affairs and she cannot answer, don’t you think it will damage the nation’s prestige?”
“Taking care of the Queen at such times is the handmaiden’s job.”
“Since when has a handmaiden been the Queen’s guardian and spokesperson?”
“Kasallin. Do you know you’re being too sensitive today?”
When Shallen began to lose in logic, he immediately pressed her with a reproachful tone.
Kasallin was at a loss for words at his sophistry.
“Your Majesty. Please don’t scold my sister too much. My sister did nothing wrong. It’s all because of my lack of insight.”
Rose said, carefully grasping Shallen’s arm.
Shallen glanced at such Rose, then looked at Kasallin’s face again and clicked his tongue softly.
“Look at what you’re saying. The Queen embraces and cares for you so warmly, yet the person who is her sister is too harsh toward her younger sister.”
“……”
“From now on, the Queen and I have business outside. We also have urgent matters to discuss. It shouldn’t be too difficult a task for you, so just organize those reports. Do you understand?”
Shallen was blinded.
He failed to recognize Kasallin’s wounds that had already been torn and tattered countless times, and set them on fire again.
Not knowing at all how that price would return to him in the future.
Kasallin silently carried out Rose’s work with an empty face like ruins where nothing remained after a storm had swept through.
She only realized that fever was rising hotly from her forehead after a whole half day had passed.
Yet it didn’t hurt.
Because her chest, torn to shreds and turned to rags, hurt several times more.
Meanwhile, Rose, who had gone out with Shallen saying she would return early, was nowhere to be seen even as the sunset turned reddish.
She wasn’t the only one waiting, as the head maid of the Queen’s palace came to carefully ask where Her Majesty the Queen was.
It seemed she wanted to ask how to prepare since it was time to prepare dinner.
Since she didn’t want to tell the woman, who was already busy with kitchen work, to go out and look, Kasallin said she would look once and struggled to lift her heavy body.
“Do you know where Her Majesty the Queen is now?”
When she asked the guard at the Queen’s palace gate, he looked slightly troubled and drew out his words, then pointed uncertainly toward the path leading to the inner garden.
“A few hours ago, she went that way with His Majesty the King.”
“Thank you.”
Kasallin walked along the narrow path untouched by the gardener’s hand.
But the further she walked, the more familiar it seemed.
‘This is the place Shallen often brought me when we were dating.’
Kasallin’s steps gradually slowed and then stopped abruptly.
A small secret garden that most people didn’t know about, but Kasallin knew all too well.
From inside, the laughter of Shallen and Rose was flowing out.
Along with occasional breathless sounds scattered into the air.
“Your Majesty. I’m embarrassed.”
“What’s embarrassing between husband and wife? Looking at you, you’re still like a shy girl.”
“Well, whenever I stand before Your Majesty, my heart inevitably pounds.”
“Even with one word, you’re gentle and sweet, knowing how to please your husband. Come, show me more of your beautiful skin. There’s still plenty of time. Our love will be eternal.”
“Really? Will you really love Rose for a lifetime?”
“Of course. A man doesn’t speak with two mouths. Even if it means abandoning the throne, I swear to God that I will love only you.”
The same place.
The same air.
The same confession.
And a different woman.
Until just a few months ago, Kasallin had lain on the same rock where Rose was now lying.
Hearing the confession he had just recited to Rose, she had firmly believed that oath was an unquestionable truth.
Nothing had changed.
Only the target of Shallen’s desire had changed.
‘I should have just continued working in the room.’
Kasallin hastily turned her gaze away from the two people slowly entwining on the grass and fled from the garden as if escaping.
She was surprisingly calm.
It was truly strange how when the shock a person can accept exceeds its limit, they become calm instead.
“I wish the great festival would come soon.”
Looking at wonderful scenery in a foreign country where there are no old memories with Shallen remaining thickly throughout the royal palace.
Meeting strangers and having meaningless conversations.
Then perhaps someday the moment would come when this fever on her forehead would also disappear.
[This is the timeline separator]“His Majesty the Emperor of the Rnel Empire, I hear he’s still single?”
“I wonder how remarkable a lady a man at the pinnacle of power will take as his wife?”
“Whoever it is will be the luckiest woman in the world.”
From morning, the maids were bustling with talk about the neighboring country’s emperor.
This was because rumors had spread widely across the continent that Emperor Parnes might be looking for a bride at this 35-day great festival event.
So noble ladies with decent status were already grinding their teeth, determined to somehow catch the emperor’s eye.
‘Of course, it’s a story that has nothing to do with me.’
Kasallin half-listened to the maids’ excited voices with one ear while helping Rose into the carriage.
“What are you doing? Get in quickly.”
Shallen, who had likewise finished preparing to depart, walked toward them and spoke.
Kasallin deliberately avoided eye contact with him as much as possible and spoke in a voice devoid of emotion.
Although quite a lot of time had passed since the wedding ceremony, situations where she was left alone with him were still unbearable.
“I will ride separately.”
“No. That won’t be possible. We didn’t prepare a spare carriage. Come, come this way.”
As befits a gentleman, he readily extended his hand as if to help her board the carriage.
Kasallin was about to answer that she would ride the luggage carriage instead, but closed her mouth. It was obvious he would force his wishes with a royal command anyway.
Kasallin looked at his shamelessly extended hand as if it were filth, then boarded the carriage by herself.
He slowly clenched and unclenched his hand that had nowhere to go, then silently sat next to Rose.
“Depart.”
The carriage wheels bearing the Khan royal crest began to move with a rattling sound.
Kasallin numbly looked out at the external scenery passing by, leaving blurry afterimages.
Without anticipating that the journey to the Rnel Empire, which she hadn’t particularly looked forward to, would completely change her life.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
