Chapter 195 - Rashta's Despair (5)

Unlike Lipt's palace, which is strictly off-limits, the

palaces on the continent have been relatively open to
some point.

As I saw while walking around, there was a slight

difference in each country, but the space where the
actual work was done and the residential area where the
royal family lived were closely guarded, and the large
garden outside was easy to access.

It was also a large garden outside the palace, relatively

free of outsiders.

The garden was almost like a park, and all kinds of

saram were coming and going in and out of this
spacious space.

[Will the empress have a son or a daughter?]

[Is there a chance that Nian would abandon Viscount

Randre and come to me..….]

[I hope the Eastern Empire is ruined by internal strife.]

[ Duke Zmensia is done, he'd been showing off.]

The voices of countless people's hearts were heard from

all sides. It was hard to find someone who thought of it
here.

'Then...'

Kapmen hurriedly left the garden, trying to reach Navier

and went to a place where he was investigating a
servant whose legs were frozen.

"I'd like to see the investigator.”

However, although he succeeded in meeting the

investigator, he could not hear from the inspector how
things were going.

"I hope you don't get too upset. Grand Duke. But
Grand Duke is not a man of the Western Empire, so it's
hard to disclose this. If you really want to see him, bring
someone to take responsibility for it."

Although he is a VIP, no investigator wants to show to

foreigners the result of a survey that might be a national
disgrace.

"Yes."

Kapmen got up with a gentle nod. Although he refused,

the investigator, who was secretly nervous, was relieved
because his opponent was high.

But it would not have been relieved if the investigator

had been able to hear Kapmen's inner thoughts.

'You haven't figured anything out.'

Because Kapmen had already confirmed to what extent

the investigation had been carried out through a brief
reminder of some of the investigators.

The servant was still arguing, "I received the money, but I
didn't mean to hurt the Empress, so I accepted the
money this way and if they had bad intentions I would
never have accepted it." "The person who gave the
money covered his face with a large cape and I couldn't
tell who it was."

'I think it would be helpful to meet a servant in

person.…….'

It was then.

[What? You don't know what's happening, do you?]

The voice in the heart from the garden was heard once
again.

When Kapmen stood tall, his voice stopped at the same

time.

'Not for sure. But it's quite similar to that voice.'

Kapmen slowly turned his head back.

***

Sovieshu stopped around the middle of the tower. There

was a hard iron door there. Sovieshu, who went to the
door, knocked instead of opening the door. Soon after,
the door opened from the inside and a woman appeared.

"Your Majesty."

It was Delis.

A polite greeting, she was skinny and haggard, but her

health did not look ill. But she kept her mouth shut
unnaturally.

"There was a lot of trouble."

Sovieshu spoke to such Delis in a kind voice, and then

winked at one of the knights. Upon receiving the signal,
the knight held out to Delis the large pocket he was
quickly holding.

"This is..."

Delis took a pocket and played with the inside of the

entrance. Inside was full of sparkling gold coins.

As she gazed at him, Sovieshu nodded.

"She won't hurt you anymore. You may take it home with
you."

Delis' eyes shook finely.

"Yes... Yes...…."

But soon, Delis held the pockets tightly in her hands and
bowed down with a stiff face to thank him.

"Thank you. I do. Save me, hide me."

Delis walked down the tower after following the

Sovieshu, and repeatedly stumbled and greeted.
Sovieshu tried to post a guard, but she repeatedly
waved her hands and walked alone, saying that it was
okay.

Even when she was staying at the tower, although it was

dark, she walked around, but in case, the guard of the
Sovieshu was always on her side.
She was grateful, but she was also in a hurry, so she
wanted to enjoy freedom alone.

As Sovieshu watched the back of the distant Delis, he

quietly instructed the knight.

"There's probably a commotion out there right now. It

may be dangerous, so follow her so far as not to disturb
her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The knight, who was in charge of escorting Delis,

greeted her with a grudging greeting and followed her.

When the two were completely separated, Sovieshu went

back to his office. After quietly following him the whole
time, it was not until he arrived at the Oval Office that he
inquired.

"But why did you bother telling Duke Tuania that Rashta
was escaping, Your Majesty? The Duke Tuania may want
to hurt her before the trial."

"With Marquis Lant next to her, he can't hurt her no

matter how angry he is."

"But wouldn't it be better to send Count Firnu?"

"Because Duke Tuania is stupid."

"Yes?"

Stupid. As much as I am, Sovieshu replied only inwardly.

The temple will never nullify his marriage to Rashta. It

was impossible to nullify the divorce of the Navier, even
if it makes it invalid.
Navier became the Empress of another country, and was
pregnant with his successor. The way for Navier to
return to him was as good as no more.

No matter how much she misses and how much she

cries and pleases, no matter how much she changes her
mind, she can't be his wife anymore.

The first remarriage with an Emperor's husband was

admired when everyone was surprised, but if she
abandoned her second Emperor's husband and went
back to his first Emperor's husband, she would lose her
reputation.

Even more so under the current circumstances of having

a successor to the Western Empire.

I couldn't hope that Navier would return to me under

such insults.

Sometimes I changed my mind and wanted Navier to

come back, but I knew it was a long way off.

Duke Tuania was similar to me. He love his wife, he did

something stupid, and left her.

Sovieshu was furious that every time he saw him, he

seemed to see himself.

That's why I pushed him only once. There was no other

reason.

***

Meanwhile, after a long absence from the palace, Delis

took a step with joy and stepped into the world.
I was so happy and free.

The tower also had windows, so the sky looked close,

but the sky was much more beautiful than that.

Moreover, the document was received from Marquis

Farang on the way out of the palace. The mere thought
of the door gave Delis a chilling pleasure.

But how long did I walk like that? There was a roar of
abuse on the boulevard.

Delis stopped. 'What's going on?' The uproar was wild

and frivolous.

Is there a fight? At such a moment, Delis tilted her head,

thinking of avoiding that side.

The Empress tried to deceive His Majesty, and ran away.

"Look at that smooth daylight."

"What is the hope of the common people if they're a

swindler?"

Listening quietly, I could distinguish some of the voices

that people were shouting at random. As soon as Delis
heard the word 'Empress', she thought of the faces of
the two.

The commotion drew closer. The soldiers were forcing

someone to take them in front of them, and the
onlookers were chasing them as if they were looking at
them. That's how they curse and criticize.

As the queer procession nears

Delis ran into one of the Empress, she had come up with.
It was the second Empress.

Such a beautiful empress with angelic faces, pure silver

hair, and wistful black eyes.

She once really liked and respected...…..

Rashta's eyes among the countless people surprisingly

caught Delis. With the noise all around, the two were
able to recognize each other smartly.

Rashta was not tied up, but she could not move with her
hands tight with soldiers, and the whole place was full of
commoners trying to attack her, and they could not
escape from the soldiers.

But when Rashta saw Delis, she seemed to have hurt her
pride. She clasped her lips and stared at Delis.

Delis moved one step at a time toward Rashta. There

were so many people around Rashta that I couldn't get
all close, but I still got as close as I could.

By the time she feels close enough. Delis smiled broadly

and stuck out her tongue.

The tongue, which had been cut in half, barely

connected, popped out.

***

"Rashta was dragged out of her mind?"

Sovieshu, who was working, was appalled by Count

Firnu's report.

"Did people hurt her? No, well, she must be surprised

because common people have always cheered in the
past."

Count Firnu replied, snooping his head.

"I didn't think so."

He recalled a fainted Rashta. She must have seen

something terrible.

Sovieshu thought of Delis. Did she run into her?

After learning of Rashta's orders before, Sovieshu sent a

man to prison in a hurry. But it was already after Delis
had her tongue cut in half. I asked Evely to do the healing
magic and tried to cure it, but she couldn't attach the
fallen tongue.

"Your Majesty."

The Count of Firnu asked Sovieshu, who was lost in

thought.

"Every time she wakes up, Rashta calls your name... Uh,
would you?"

Sovieshu first said, 'It's done.' He didn't want to see

Rashta.

Rashta looked sad even when she was smiling. In a

pitiful atmosphere, Sovieshu felt heavy for no reason if
she cried and hung on when they were alone. He could
see her sins coldly only when she was not looking at his
face or with many people at all.

"Give her treatment."

But less than a minute later, Sovieshu changed his

position.
"No. Give me the medicine. I'll go there myself."

We had to talk once anyway. There was still some time

left until the trial, but it was better to talk now.

***

Rashta's room was harmoniously decorated with soft

cream and comfortable purple and colorful gold. It was a
place where all the children would see in fairy tales and
think the princess or prince would live. But there was no
princess and prince in this room whom the children
always imagined. Once full of happiness and laughter,
but now it's more cold than ever. It was not cold in the
room, but there was no warmth, full of court doctors and
maids, and they had no compassion.

"Your Majesty."

As Sovieshu entered, everyone in the room greeted him.

Sovieshu immediately asked the court physician.

"How are things?"

"She got a little bruise when the wagon flipped, but

otherwise she's okay. But she seems very surprised."

Sovieshu waved the people out. When all the maids and
knights went out of the palace, Sovieshu looked down at
Rashta and said in a dry manner.

"Stop pretending to be asleep."

"........"

"I know you're awake.”

As soon as Sovieshu's words were over, Rashta's eyelids

trembled and went up, revealing her black eyes. Rashta
raised her waist and looked at Sovieshu with resentful
eyes. Tears welled up around her eyes.

"It wasn't a very good choice. Running away."

"You've done nothing to force me to run away.”

"Me? It was all your choice. Rashta."

"I'm stuck here, so I didn't even know what was going on

out there. The maids don't even tell me anything outside.
I wouldn't have run away if His Majesty hadn't asked me
to see the trial of Viscount Roteschu, Viscount Isqua
and his wife...….”

Rashta, who was talking, became dazed, and her lips

trembled and asked Sovieshu.

"Are you willing to see me? Are you scared that I'll run
away?"

"surely."

"Lies! Or it doesn't explain!"

"You are always to blame, you may blame others, but at

least you are responsible for your choice, Rashta."

"What about you, Your Majesty? You blame me too, don't

you?"

"Me?"

"I saw you crying while calling on a Navier. You're trying

to make Rashta angry and pushing Rashta, You're trying
to break up with me. No?"
Sovish stood up with a sigh.

"You said it was your fault to be the empress, didn't you?

No. It's my fault. It's all my fault that I broke up with
Navier. I even believe in you."

"....."

"But the reason you're punished is also because of all

that you've done. When are you going to admit that?"

"What did I do?"

"You know the truth."

"I don't know."

"You didn't have to know. On your way, I don't need an

answer sheet."

Sovieshu rose sharply and walked to the door.

Rashta, who was protesting angrily, was scared of the

word 'the way you were going' and went off the bed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hold on."

She ran in a hurry, knelt down, and hugged Sovieshu's

waist.

"I'm going to be deposed. I'll get you a divorce right away.

So let me and Glorym, live quietly in the quiet
countryside. Please, I don't want a trial. I'm scared of
people."

Sovieshu lowered his gaze. The white hands were

shaking.
"It's ridiculous to ask for a deal over something you don't
have, Rashta."

But Sovieshu coldly shook off Rashta's hand.

Rashta sank helplessly on the floor, but did not lose and
shouted.

"Your sins are not punished, but why am I punished

without sin?"

"Listen one by one in court. What is your sin?"

"I'll tell you!"

"What?"

"Your Majesty, you lied to everyone even though you

knew I was a runaway slave! I'll tell them everything! If
I'm going to die anyway, why wouldn't I tell them? I'll tell
them everything!"

Rashta shouted with all her might, but the opponent's

position was too high and solid. Sovieshu did not bat an
eye.

"Say it."

"!"

"If you say that, there's no evidence. Even if people

believe you, they'll think I'm a blind emperor. But that's it.
How long will it last again?"

"Such..."

"I think it's your two kids who look just like you that are
really hurting you."
"That's what...."

"Oh. One child? Your first child will be a slave, whether or

not you break up a slave case.”

Rashta stared blankly at Sovieshu, and asked in a

quivering voice.

"What does that mean? Why Ahn? Why is Ahn going to

slave? What did Ahn do?"

"Both father and mother are felons."

Rashta had no affection for Ahn. At least she thought so.

But the moment she listened to Sovieshu, she felt the

pain of the floor collapsing in her heart-burning despair.
Not loving a child was different from wanting a child to
be unhappy. Rashta couldn't love Ahn as much as
Glorym, but she didn't want him to be unhappy.

"How could you! How could you! You're worse than Elgy!
You're a fucking asshole, for Navier? Is that it!"

Rashta, whose eyes turned and ran, was simply dodged

and Sovieshu opened the door and went out.

The captive deer, the sound of a dead deer, from the

closed bedroom.
