Chapter 139

TL: Zimming

“What is it?”

“Lady Dubbled is awake.”

The empress grabbed her forehead and sat down in her chair.

‘Thank god.’

If the child of fate hadn’t opened her eyes, the Duke of Dubbled would have done anything to ruin the empire.

“Instruct the doctors to treat her well. Give her whatever she needs and want, also tell her to go home after she recovers…… ah, they won’t find poison in my palace. Tell them that someone from the main palace will find the lady personally later.”

“That…….”

The empress’ forehead narrowed.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, the lady wants to meet you secretly now.”

“What?”

***

The empress really did come for our private conversation. She even visited the medical center herself.

“You did me a difficult favor. I won’t forget your help.”

“What do you mean? I always have respect and sincerity for you.”

The doctors and nurses inside were happy with her praises.

“I have something to share with the lady.”

“Alright, we’ll go outside and make sure that your conversation doesn’t leak, so please talk comfortably.”

When they went out, the empress gently sat on my bedside chair.

“Oh my God. How hard it must have been to withstand the poison with such a small body. I’m so glad you woke up.”

I held my complaint inside, pretending to be weak.

“Empress…….”

“Don’t worry. I won’t forgive the criminal who made you suffer this. But… what made you look for me?”

I grab the empress’ clothes

“The chairman says the empress may be in trouble now.”

She patted my cheek with a benevolent look, but she couldn’t hide her anxious feelings in her eyes.

She would be even more nervous when she knew that the marquis visited Duke Marche first.

‘Marquis Nodelli is stupid, but he’s pretty quick-witted sometimes.’

He was not a good business man, and he didn’t know what was important, but when he was cornered, he accurately pointed out a person who could turn the table.In this world, there were things which were more important than their children. Many of those who survived the bloody power struggle, like the Duke Marche, would put his goals first before his daughter, the empress.

The empress will know her father’s character better than anyone else.

In addition, if the empress is involved in this case, her reputation will be greatly damaged by neglect of management, but that’s it.

If he help from behind, she could recover, so it might be better to hurt the prestige of the empress than to sacrifice Nodelli.

‘She’s nervous?’

The empress tried to raise the corners of her mouth.

“Thank you for worrying about me in this situation. So, that’s all you have to say to me?”

“Your maid, Audrey Noshae and Marquis Nodelli is in love with each other.”

“……What?”

“When you went to talk to Princess Ingrid, I went to the bathroom for a while. I saw it then. They hugged intimately.”

The empress took a deep breath

“That…… ha!”

The empress leapt to her feet and brushed her hair roughly.

“Dirty things. How dare they do such a thing in my palace?”

I readjust my position and looked up to the empress with my back against the head of the bed.

“The chairman said that Ms.Noshane couldn’t take care of the tea well and might poison you. That’s why you are in trouble. But… the bad thing is the Marquis of Nodelli, right?”

“…..yes. Maybe he deliberately seduced Audrey and gave her a chance.”

I could see deep resentment in her eyes. I grinned with my fingertips slightly covering my mouth.

‘Yes, yes. Push Nodelli off the cliff instead of me.’

“But why does the lady tell me this?”

“Because I admire you!”

“…..me?”

I folded my hands around my chest and nodded eagerly.

“The royal family is born with God’s blood, so they are the most precious people in the country as soon as they’re born, but you also have a lot of accomplishments! You’re a great,wonderful person.”

When I didn’t forget to blink my eyes innocently, the empress’ lips twitched for a moment.

The empress, who came close to me, stroked me slightly on the cheek, and I leaned on the hand like a cat and made a pleased expression.

“I like lady very much. Sincerely.”

“I like you too.”

“Don’t forget that feeling. If you didn’t I could give you everything you want……Leblaine.”

I looked up in surprise. The empress had many people on her side, but she wasn’t particularly friendly to anyone.

‘She didn’t even call Mina by her name.’

Only child of fate, girl, child, or Lady Amity.

‘Everything’s perfect.’

I secretly smiled inside.

After a while, the empress sent her maid out of the palace under the pretext of giving her a vacation, and had her soldiers come in when the Marquis Nodelli and Audrey lay in one bed.

***

After being hospitalized at the Imperial Palace Medical Center for 10 days, I finally returned to my mansion.

“The doctor tried to dissuade you from discharging.”

Trigon, who was standing by the door, grumbled.

I shrugged at him as I received a document stating the progress of my poisoning case.

“I wasn’t really poisoned anyway”

“Do you have any idea how busy I have been because you made up the whole thing?”

“I appreciate it. But the head of the medical clinic, who is a doctor, is not aware of the curse, and all he can do is nurse me,so everything is in your hands.”

Trigon sighed.

“But why didn’t you allow any visit from the people of Dubbled?”

“I panicked, in case they found out I have been lying to everyone.”

I continued by looking through the documents given by the Chairman.

“Ah, let me know what dad has discovered. I should keep pretending.”

“……I’ve already told them that they don’t have to worry.”

I stopped after handing over the papers. I stared at Trigon at once.

“Why would you do something I didn’t ask you to do? I told you to tell me if you do something! Dad’s quick-witted!”

“Do you know how their conditions were after you collapsed? They were all out of their minds and collapsed……!”

“I’m better off dead then!”

“……pardon?”

“Don’t you understand? If it turns out I’m not the child of fate, I will be used as a sacrifice. I’m going to die in the end anyway!”

“But the Dubbleds won’t…”

“My dad doesn’t know what I’m capable of! He’ll die protecting me!”

When he saw myself half out of my mind shouting, Trigon faltered and backed away.

“I heard Dubbled is really powerful. So…”

“Do you think Dubbled can fight the Imperial family and church at once? What about the nobles? If it’s revealed that I’ve been lying, our family will be doomed!”

What are the chances that my dad and brothers will protect me from all of it.

How many people in Dubbled can survive the war. Even if the world turns upside down and my dad protects me, we’ll have to suffer terrible sacrifices.

The lives that will fall in this life may be Zachary, Lea, and the three maids.

‘My dad and brothers could also die.’

That’s why I need the Suwon. That’s why I had to create a powerful family so that even the palace and the church could not touch Dubbled even before I was revealed to be a fake.

To protect myself, to protect my family who would risk death for me.

The chairman was also always by my side when I was poisoned. I felt really grateful to him that I could cry.

“It’s a soundproof place, but someone might come in. Let’s go back for now.

“……Since when did my dad stop applying for a visit?”

“It’s been five days.”

I closed my eyes tightly.

‘Dad already knows that I made up the poison.’

Trigon couldn’t open his mouth when he saw me pale.

Me and the chairman passed by him and opened the door. After I got in the carriage, the carriage started to move.

When I came back to the mansion, it was all dark inside. The servants looked at each other and tried to smile at me.

“You’ve arrived. I’m glad you’re recovering. I’ve prepared a meal…….”

“What about dad?”

“That…….”

“Where is he?”

The butler looked back at father’s office with a troubled face.

I took a shaky step. Words were leaking out of the office.

I knocked on the door and said, “It’s me,” the door slowly opened.

My father, who was sitting in the chair, looked at me without expression.

***

A puff of cigarette smoke got out from Trigon’s mouth. His brow was slightly narrowed while writing the progress of her illness.

“How did the little miss didn’t look nervous in this situation? She could smile cheerfully and act as if nothing happened.”

The chairman, who was in the office at the hope mercenary guild, glanced back at him.

“She’s doing it so that we can relax.”

“……huh?”

“The child was nervous all morning. She had nightmares and she can’t sleep properly. If she shows any sign of being nervous, we would follow along right?”

“…….”

“She has died three times, I can’t imagine just how hard her life had been until now.”

“But from her family’s point of view…….”

The chairman sighed and put down the documents he had held.

“The child drank the empress’ tea, knowing that it might have been poisoned.”

“…….”

“Once she set a goal, she wouldn’t back down. It means that she’s that desperate.”

Trigon’s shoulder fell helplessly.

“Oh, by the way. There’s one thing that bothers me.”

“What is it?”

“Nodelli cursed Duke Marche in the prison. I wonder why? Duke of Marche, not her daughter who is the source of trouble, nor the empress who caught his affair.…?”

The chairman’s eyes narrowed.
