Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 79
Fortune-telling Gypsies were generally regarded by society as little more than a trivial amusement—mere pastime for women who sought love readings through tarot cards.
However, when plague swept through a city or natural disasters like floods and fires struck the nation, creating a need for scapegoats, the story changed entirely.
The public abruptly abandoned their prior attitude of ridiculing Gypsies as useless, and instead squarely blamed them as the very source of all current misfortunes. Those deemed powerless yesterday were suddenly recast today as agents of a mighty demon.
Inquisitors trailing Gypsies and accusing them of witchcraft through pacts with demons became as commonplace in troubled times as funeral dirges.
Thus, anyone with much to lose took exceptional care not to associate with such disreputable sorts as fortune-tellers. This was especially true for nobles, and even more so for clergy and their families.
Yet this particular fortune-teller had enjoyed fame throughout San Carlo for over twenty years. Her renown stemmed from her role as a confidante to Countess Rubina, mother of Count Cesare.
When Lady Rubina had been a young woman of slender means, this Gypsy woman had accurately foreseen that she would one day become the king’s consort. Her mystical insight had not ended there. She had even proclaimed before Cesare’s birth:
“It will surely be a son.”
She claimed she had scoured the celestial paths to learn in advance the identity of the child in Countess Rubina’s womb.
To this day, whenever Countess Rubina faced a crossroads, this Gypsy woman remained her closest advisor, offering invaluable counsel.
Lucrezia thought to herself:
“If Countess Rubina has avoided being dragged off by the Inquisitors for the past twenty years, perhaps I’ll be safe too.”
Lately, Lucrezia’s heart had been unbearably heavy. Nothing went her way, and there was no assurance things would improve.
Her precious Isabella was under house arrest by Cardinal de Mare, forbidden to step even a foot outside her room, while she herself was being watched over by a child her detestable husband had brought from outside—forced to guard the family register under the girl’s supervision.
Lucrezia let out a deep, involuntary sigh.
