Being Cruel Empress

11. Mysterious Bottle

Three days passed. Winter who was checking the report suddenly fell silent and thought of Ellena. He wondered why Ellena had not given him any news at all? while he was busy with a pile of documents on his desk, so he could not get out of the palace to meet Ellena.

"I thought everything would be fine, in fact there was no woman I was empty. I haven't seen him in three days. He didn't even send me a letter. Only reply was sent Carlos. It's just a thank you. Hahh .. "inner Winter let out a long sigh.

Winter wishes Ellena well and finds what she's looking for without a hitch. After her mind calmed down, Winter tried to refocus on her work. He wanted to quickly finish his work, as he planned to sneak out of the palace to be able to meet Ellena. He could no longer wait to see Ellena until Ellena's return.

The Dandelion palace. Catharina who was upset that her tea party was falling apart also scolded her servants. He vented his frustration at his servant. Bertha did not escape the wrath of Catharina. Even Catharina directly slapped Bertha and told Bertha not to work.

Bertha was shocked, it was her first time being treated harshly during her work as a Peony palace servant serving the Empress. Bertha was upset, but she could not do anything because she had taken on the task of being Catharina's servant and became Ellena's second eye in watching Catharina's movements.

"I'm sorry, miss" said Bertha.

"I'm sorry you said? I was humiliated and you just stood still in the corner. You useless waiter. It is only fitting that you be sent to me by Her Majesty the Empress to me. Apparently you're a clumsy waitress working," Catharina said, ranting indistinctly.

Bertha was shocked, "How could this woman say that? Don't you know what he means? his words were like that indirectly accusing His Majesty of incompetence for sending the guest trash pad. And if left alone, it will cause rumors that are not good, if Your Majesty the Empress ignored the guests brought by the Emperor for various reasons that can certainly be made up. I'm not going to let Her Majesty get scorn from people." Bertha's inner.

Because he wanted to show his sincerity in serving Catharina. Bertha was forced to kneel down and apologize. She asked Catharina for mercy and said she would do whatever Catharina ordered, because she wanted to serve Catharina wholeheartedly. Bertha's words rang reassuringly as if she really wanted to be by Catharina's side.

"That's it, huh? I will believe what you say, if you will serve me faithfully. Therefore, show your loyalty by kissing my shoes." Catharina said.

Catharina knew how to demean a person and disarm that person's self-esteem. Hearing Catharina's request for her shoes to be kissed by her, Catharina is upset and angry. He felt offended, because however the waiter still had pride. It's just that he came back to remember Ellena's request and words. If Ellena strongly believes Bertha can do her best.

"Just kiss, right? alright. I will do as this woman wishes. Besides, I can make my lips not touch his shoes." Inner Bertha.

Finally Bertha humped and bowed. He moved his face towards Catharina's shoes. Bertha brought her lips closer to the shoes as if kissing Catharina's shoes, but her lips were not attached.  What he stuck to was the tip of his nose. Catharina was shocked, and she laughed with pride. He felt he was the Master of Bertha now and could of course manage Bertha at will.

Catharina remembered that she had an appointment to meet someone. He left Bertha immediately. And asked Bertha to immediately dress him up, for he would go out of the palace secretly. Bertha recited the word Catharina. He stood up and straightened his uniform. Then, walked over to Catharina who was standing in front of the closet. I chose the dress she was going to wear. After choosing her dress, Catharina was helped Bertha change the dress.

Soon Janette approached Carlos and took Carlos away. Janette said she wanted to go somewhere else, and then she would take Carlos to lunch. Carlos simply nodded and followed Janette without asking anything. Unexpectedly, on the way to the destination, Janette saw a familiar figure walking alone wearing a robe and a headscarf. That person is Catharina.

"Sir, wait .. There seems to be a change of plans. Did you see anyone there? Someone wearing that brown robe and hooded?" ask Janette.

Carlos looked around and looked around for the figure that Janette meant. Carlos found and looked closely. Carlos said, his face is not foreign. Suddenly Carlos eyes widened and looked at Janette.

Janette nods her head, "Right, sir. That's Lady Rosaro. We have to follow her, because I'm curious about what she's doing with her appearance" Janette said.

"Alright, just as Miss said." replied Carlos.

Finally Janette and Carlos followed Janette. Not wanting to be discovered, Carlos puts up a disguise magic for him and Jenette just in case. In disguise, Catharina would not know that the one who followed was the Empress's lady-in-waiting and the head of the palace's knight army.

Far enough they follow. Until they arrive in a narrow alley. Janette and Carlos peeked out from behind the wall. Catharine turned her eyes away and was in a daze, like being afraid that someone might see her. Not long after someone appeared and approached Cathrina. One handed him a bottle of liquid, and Catharina handed him a bag of gold coins as a reward.

"Is this herb effective? I've paid you dearly" Catharina told someone before her.

"Just calm. It is very effective and has been proven. Who I am who drinks the potion will immediately be brainwashed and grate the words of the potion giver. Give it a step-by-step for a week, and you'll get what you want" said the man.

"alright. I trust you. I'll go first" Catharina said goodbye.

Carlos asked Janette to follow Catharina and they agreed to meet at the temoat shop they had stopped by. Carlos will arrest and secure someone who met Catharina for interrogation in secret. Janette agreed, the two separated. Janette follows Catharina and Carlos following someone who meets Catharina.

Janette sees Catharina walking quickly and walks into a restaurant. Janette couldn't get in and had to wait outside. Not long after he saw someone enter the same place, and it was Erwan. Janette wondered, How did Erwan come and what was his purpose?
