“Where are you?”
Rosa, who was organizing the Queen’s palace, was taken aback by the sudden arrival of Liz. Why is Her Majesty the Queen, who should be at the celebration, here…?
“Where are you?”
Without giving Rosa any time to think, Liz forcefully approached. Her face was pale, as if something serious had happened.
“What… what are you saying? Ariste, no, Your Majesty the Queen?”
“It’s about the herbal potion. The detox potion imported from the Kalthorn Kingdom!”
“Oh, that.”
Rosa finally regained her composure and replied, “I have sent it to Duke Montaner as Her Majesty the Queen instructed.”
“….”
Liz staggered for a moment at Rosa’s words.
Rosa quickly supported her. “Your… Your Majesty, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Liz gently pushed Rosa away and stood up on her own. Then she tried to cool down her heated head.
‘What’s going to happen will happen.’
But the more she tried, only that thought echoed in her mind.
‘I knew everything.’
Liz bit her lip in anger.
‘He knew everything. He knew everything and still gave me a gift, knowing the consequences.’
But… it’s okay. He must know the solution too. If he just tells her, she can forgive anything that seemed like a betrayal.
“I have to meet Jaden Kalthorn. Can you call him for me?”
“He has left.”
Liz felt her vision darken again.
“When… when?”
“Last night.”
“Last night?”
“Yes. He informed the servant who stayed at the Star Palace.”
No wonder he didn’t appear at the wedding venue.
In the end, that man fulfilled his predetermined mission and left.
Liz, still in her wedding dress, sank to the floor.
“Your Majesty!”
Rosa, surprised by the sudden situation, tried to support Liz, but Liz stopped her.
“Just let me stay like this for a while. I want to rest.”
Rosa looked perplexed, unsure of what to do.
But in the end, she followed the orders.
“I’ll be in front of the door.”
After Rosa left, Liz, left alone, sat there blankly for a while. She tried to think about something, but nothing came to mind. She didn’t know where to start thinking.
The sound of musicians playing in the background was faintly audible, and the pleasant chatter of people taking a stroll came through the open window. However, the place she was in and that place felt like entirely different worlds.
It seemed impossible to return to that world again.
“Darn.”
After a muttered curse, a sigh followed.
“A tragedy.”
Yes, it was such a novel. The male lead, who sensed signs of rebellion, sent the female lead away first, devised a clever plan to confront the enemy in his own way, but at the moment of success, an unforeseen variable interfered, leading to a tragic end where he succumbed to death.
And now… she had provided the variable herself!
“Why did I remember now? It would have been good if I remembered just an hour earlier.”
It was a painfully bone-chilling mistake.
“I need to think. I have to think.”
Liz urged herself.
However, the solution she obtained through such thinking was only to retrieve the gifted detox potion. Not a very good idea.
Asking the Duke, as sharp-witted as Hershismen, to return the detox potion she had already given him could imply that the only poison he would hear was the one that might poison her.
“Then what should I do? How can I prevent this sad ending?”
Liz tore at her hair and pounded the floor, but no good ideas came to mind.
“Why isn’t the Queen visible?”
It was already the tenth time she heard the question.
“She went to rest briefly because she wasn’t feeling well. She will come down soon.”
Ishar answered for the tenth time. And before the eleventh question was asked, he desperately hoped that the Queen would reveal herself.
If she suddenly felt dizzy, she had been resting in her old residence for three hours already. Wasn’t that enough rest?
By now, he was sure he hadn’t memorized the guest list.
“I look forward to the future.”
Ishar sighed and shook his head in anticipation.
Just as the Emperor, who barely escaped from the nobles, was approaching, Ishar asked.
“Is Her Majesty the Queen okay now?”
“Why do you ask that?”
Hershismen raised an eyebrow in response.
“If she gets better, she’ll come out on her own.”
Ishar’s sigh deepened.
“Your Majesty, it’s no longer the time when you two were in love. You are the face of the empire now.”
“…….”
“People want to see the face of the empire. Not half, but complete.”
“Well, you’re right.”
Hershismen nodded without any sign of discomfort.
For some reason, on this day, Ishar wondered if this human understood what he was saying and wanted to continue his nagging.
“By the way, Ishar.”
Hershismen prevented Ishar from speaking again.
“The face of the empire should set an example. Forcing an unwell wife in front of people doesn’t seem like a good behavior. It’s worrisome that people might emulate that.”
“……. ”
Ishar lost words. Any rational argument seemed unlikely to persuade this distressed woman.
Looking down as if resigned, Ishar heard Hershismen speak in a quiet voice.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
