Emperor loved what he provided, and if she loved her position, which allowed her to freely sway with the emperor, she had no reason to be unhappy if she were satisfied with that.

Considering she was from the Quaid, she had not achieved great success.

However, Helene suffered as much as her threefold increase in the emperor’s harem.

She did not have any illness, or if you wanted to specify, it was a kind of melancholy.

“Uh, Your Holiness. The Empress has sent medicine. Would you like to see it once…?”

“Forget it! Who needs such medicine!”

Although the maid tried to cheer her up, Helene only replied sharply. Then, she collapsed on the bed, crying loudly.

The reason Helene was acting like this was nothing special.

Enrique didn’t come.

He clearly said he was sick.

It was summer now, but you could catch a cold even in the summer.

‘I must have eaten too much cold stuff. I’m sure I told him my fever had risen.’

But Enrique did not respond to her letters, nor did he come to visit. And then, he sent medicine through a messenger.

Moreover, it was delivered only a day after he made contact.

‘It’s all because of that empress.’

It was not that Helene had been idle for the past few years.

But how did the empress know, and every time a natural disaster occurred, she went there first to carry out relief activities.

Stupid people were delighted, saying it was thanks to the empress’s favor, but for Helene, there were more suspicious corners than that.

How could she know in advance that a flood or earthquake would occur?

It was already frustrating to always be one step behind, but what was more annoying than that was the reaction of the people.

‘I’ve treated them so many times and just forget about it! She should have come and rescued me before anything happened. The empress said she could do that with trust! Is that all she can say in front of me?’

Having received no divine power at all, it was ridiculous to say that divine power had come down.

In theology, it was an absurdity.

But at some point, the rumor spread that the empress was an adult.

In the Hwanghu Palace, the empress did not officially acknowledge herself as an adult. The empress herself had never once admitted it, but despite that, the ignorant masses believed that the empress was an adult.

To Helene, the true saint, it was absurd and ridiculous.

Politically, she had already lost, and socially, as a legitimate noble, she was pushed aside from the start. If you spoke in terms of power, the nobles quickly realized that Enrique did not look back and cut off ties with Baekhap Palace.

But an adult? Chosen by God!

That one thing belonged to Helene, the only light that had come down to her pitiful and pitiable life.

She couldn’t steal that from her.

Eventually, the impatient Helene acted very discreetly. But even that failed repeatedly.
‘Foolish bastards! Seeing no news today, it seems like another failure. That’s why there’s no reason to pay a reward! How can you not inflict even a single wound?’

The Empress generally did not go outside the Hwanghu Palace.

Even within this palace, she hid her body in the safest place and still ruled the world.

Helene couldn’t stand the Empress for being like that.

It was unacceptable that she had the appearance that Helene wanted to have.

‘Even if I hand her a cup with poison at the banquet, how did she notice and not drink it? And even when I tried to buy the lower ones and strangle her neck when she was alone, I couldn’t buy the lower ones. Even if I hired a professional assassin, what should I do if it fails and I have to die?’

At first, Helene didn’t think of going this far. The first medicine she gave to the Empress was also a type that caused abdominal pain, not poison.

But the Empress avoided all of Helene’s attacks, proudly avoiding them all.

Seeing her fail every time, the maids began to avoid her little by little when she hysterically went into hysterics.

Helene also thought it was all the Empress’s fault.

The Empress made her like this.

As a person who only knows hatred.

“I really wish I could die…….”

Helene, who murmured weakly, reached out and fumbled for a handkerchief, rubbing her nose.

Swollen eyes, red nose, and cheeks that became thin due to not eating properly looked so miserable.

Helene held up a hand mirror, turning her face around and blinking her eyes.

‘Huh?’

And then, right at that moment.

“!!!”

What was reflected in the small hand mirror should not have been an adult.

It was definitely a room where no one was, but someone in a noble outfit appeared.

“Uh! Huk, Hup!!!”

As she tried to scream, her mouth was tightly blocked. Struggling to breathe, Helene somehow tried to bite her hand with her teeth.

‘Is it the Empress? Is the Empress taking revenge on me?’

Come to think of it, Helene had never been threatened with her life until now.

Was it because the Empress was looking after her?

‘Ah, no. I don’t want to die!’

What did I do wrong that I have to die!

Tears fell from her eyes because it was pitiful.

How pathetic my life is.
