Chapter 4

Thanks to Scan Fluffly who allowed me to translate and resume this project.

Rosaline followed the memory

3rd palace... 3rd palace, Something came up. A flash of light shone on Rosaline's head.

'¡That's it, the Empress!'

She was Cahir's greatest enemy, who harrased him to his death. She was none other than Cahir's mother. If Cahir was a tyrant, the Empress was called a demon by some people.

"I don't like his dress, kill him.''

''The hair style is similar to mine. Push it.''

''He's the same height as Cahir. Banish him from the capital!''

''Did you laugh when you saw our son? Hang it up.''

She was also famous for her deadly execution without standards and common sense.

Moreover, the problem was that most of those executed had a friendly or neutral relationship with Cahir.

Therefore, the best thing for the people was to stay away from the third palace.

If you get their attention, it's almost like putting a noose around your neck.

"Hui, I'm sorry. Can I hold your hand?

 

Once familiar with each other, Rosaline called Hui comfortably. Rosaline took Hui's shoes and put them on correctly. 

The brightly colored shoes that were worn to suit Cahir's tastes were never comfortable to walk in, no matter how good they were. Rosaline was worried about the pain in her feet she would have later.

''Come on, Hui''

Hui and Rosaline took a step. After this didn't want to get lost now. It was lunchtime and after he would have to start his work. At that time the owner of the third palace, Empress Azela, would be busy receiving her massage. So, it was her chance to take a look at the palace and look outside.

Rosaline wanted to see the third palace. So she asked Derek, but he refused, shaking his head.

'Rumors don't compare to reality.'

It was Derek who became stricter these days, resembling Cahir.

Finally, four months later.

 "Oh, who's this? Isn't this Cahir's dog?"

Empress Azela had gone for a walk in the garden at this time.

Hui's face quickly darkened.

It was unacceptable even for the Empress to make fun of the Emperor's name. However, Azela is always a person who goes beyond common sense. It was Azela who naturally and unconditionally disrespected the Empire's sun and the Emperor.

"The Empire's Hyacinth, Your Majesty."

Hui bowed. Rosaline bowed without a word.

"You dare enter the palace without a reason?"

The garden was an open space for everyone. But before entering the palace, you must explain the reason to the guards who belong to the palace.

Azela was holding a scabbard. While harassing Cahir's servant, she felt superior to him and wanted to show off. It was a kind of excitement.

"Forgive me, Queen Mother. I was wrong, I was too clueless."

Rosaline stopped Hui and stepped forward. Azela's gaze went all the way to Rosaline. The corner of her mouth rose strangely.

"You are...?"

Azela eyes snapped open and she took a step closer to Rosaline.

Azela Monica Bell Luace.

She was the second empress of Emperor Ker Go.

Emperor Ker Go was a man of great women. When the first Empress Rizia gave birth to Cahir and dedicated herself to the care of her son, he openly invited women to the Imperial Palace.

He spent the night with at least ten women, and changed them every night. He could be lacking in other things, except in appearance. He wanted to prove that he was superior to others and that his libido and sexual desire was unmatched.

After raising Cahir to some extent, Empress Rizia approached Ker Go, but Ker Go, already trapped in the width of another woman's skirt, sent Rizia to the 3rd Palace.

Empress Rizia, who loved Ker Go so much, stayed up every night with tears waiting for him. Finally, she died after suffering. And that place was taken by Azela.

Azela was only a little older than Cahir, only 16 years apart. When Ker Go and Azela were next to each other, they seemed more of a neglected affair than a married couple.

When Azela entered the Imperial Palace, she was holding a child. Presenting him as Cahir's younger brother. Azela saw Cahir as a thorn in her eye. She harassment  him brazenly. It was Azela who took him into battle.

Unfortunately, Karon, whom Azela intended to bring to the throne, was not intelligent. Attempts were clumsy and development was slow. It was not enough, even those on Azela's side thought her son Karon was not worthy to sit on the throne.

"I can give birth again!"

Azela tried. Unfortunately, heaven was not on her side. And also, her only refuge, the Ker Go emperor died.

When Cahir came back. As soon as the succession to the throne was over, he expelled Azela to the third palace. Azela's asylum was still there, but not everyone was strongly opposed to paying attention to Cahir. {1}

"You can do whatever you want. You just got on the throne. How confident will you be? Just wait a little longer."

Azela's madness was poisoned and entrenched by the Duke of Magnice. Azela wandered around Cahir, seeking out evil. She wanted to discover even a small stain, some weakness of Cahir.

'You're the first woman I've seen. It's even Cahir's favorite style, right?'

Azela grabbed Rosaline chin and turned around to make a small sound.

"What's your name?"

"Rosaline Berit."

"Berit? What family is Berit? What do they do?"

Rosaline's patience was about to run out. The Berit clan was a poor family compared to the duke and count, but it was an excellent family, clean, highly educated, and loyal to the royal family. Of course, Rosaline was proud of the family. She was angry at Azela's rude question because she knew she knew the warm and wonderful personality of Berit himself.

"The Berit family is a family of artists over 200 years old who produced great works and masters of poetry in the past.

Hui explained in Rosaline place. It was the story of her family, which was unknown to Rosaline.

"What? He's two hundred years old? So it's a dilapidated house that has nothing to say if you don't bring up old stories? No money, no power, no status, no honor?"

Wow. You can say those things in front of me? Azela still didn't look her in the eye. Rosaline clenched her fist. Then she released the strength in her hand and lowered her eyes. The long eyelashes made a shadow. The eyes shone brightly under the shadow. lips they curved.

"Our family can't even compare to the Bell Luace family. Didn't the Bell Luace family produce the Empress Mother? Unfortunately, the reputation will not continue. Ah! The tragedy of the family is also very sad for me." 

[I call this a low blow hahahaha]

Rosaline pressed her eyebrows down, glowing and tearing at her sleeves. The Bell Luace family doesn't have a successor. It's not like she didn't have one from the beginning. There was Azela's brother, but Azela, who didn't want to share power, took him to the battlefield.

His brother was killed by an arrow in the war. No one could confirm if the arrow was the enemy's. It was a suspicious death. Rosaline pretended to be friendly, but the meaning of her words was 'I know everything'. Ugh, Azela hated it. One of the mistakes she made as a child was her brother's treatment. Azela was also very familiar with the rumors that were circulating.

You reap what you sow 

Although Azela did not kill the previous empress, people strongly believed that she was connected with her death. then Azela sat in the Empress' seat and her brother died. It was common to die on the battlefield, but it made no sense to say that the man who became the successor to the family would die just after the Empress had been crowned. Even then, a sudden death did not abandon her.

The last straw was the death of the emperor. The emperor lived desperately, but he always lived with good things in his mouth.{2} His death was really out of the question. [means that it was unexpected]

The rumors spread like fire . Azela used different methods to master the rumors, but the spread was more rapid. Azela, who wanted to put her blood in power, was very sensitive to her reputation.

Rosaline touched the sensitive area, pretending to be naive. She was very successful if Rosaline's goal was to incur Azela's wrath.

"Rosaline Berit"? Where do you belong? You shouldn't have to walk around the Imperial Palace, what's your title?"

Azela wanted to grab Rosaline's neck and shake it, but she put up with it. She was furious. But she quickly hid the anger and pretended to ask Rosaline a casual question.

Only guests can attend the tea party. Rosaline had not been invited to the tea party, and Cahir did not even have tea parties, so she was not a guest.

Azela was determined to get her in trouble.

"You don't answer."

"I am the Emperor's secretary. "

Rosaline omits the word "can". Because you don't have to be nice enough to give information that might seem superficial.

Azela stood up.

"Oh, I can't believe she's looking me in the eye without being too cheap.''

Azela raised her arms folded in front of her chest. Her mouth was shaking. Though Rosaline identity was clear, she seemed to have no intention of behaving well

"Rosaline Berit, did Cahir make you spy on me?"

"What?"

Rosalin and Hui were surprised.

Why does the story unfold like this? They were both standing in the garden.

"Rosaline Berit. You don't have to answer the Queen's words, did Cahir say that? No way. Cahir, my dear boy, could not have said that. So you acted on your own and ignored me. "

Azela's words are wrong from one to ten. I didn't know what to do Rosaline, who is good at grimacing and smiling, continued to the point where she couldn't laugh.

"How angry would our Cahir be if he knew his mother was being ignored like this? Then how can I not punish you?"

Rosaline stood by every word.

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

Rosaline picked up the nasty words. Rosaline sweet face, like cotton candy, changed quickly. Her white eyes became as sharp as a crescent moon. It is a pity to bend down in front of someone. In particular, it is especially repugnant to do so in front of those who deny and consider human life as an insect!

It was a bad choice for Azela to take a hard line on Rosaline.

"There's something you stated."

"What?"

When Azela was verbally abusive, people would get scared and stumbled from fear . But Rosaline didn't. On the contrary, she lifted her hips straighter and looked her straight in the eye. Azela was threatened by the way those eyes looked at her.

"Even if everything else happened..."

Rosaline breathed for a moment. She smiled as if she were determined.

"I want you to take away the words that the Queen Mother loves Her Majesty."

"Why?"

Azela's voice trembled.

{1}: That although the Queen Mother did not have too much power, some were unaware of Cahir's position and power.

{2}: The emperor had some faults. However, he had enough to live well and have a long life.
