“Sorry I have to tell you Your Majesty that there are actually many evil auras that envelop you,” Margaret said.
“Aura wicked? Whatdoes thatmean? Can't you exorcise that evil aura?”
Margaret again grabbed the empress' hand, she pressed the empress's palm for a while. The empress was now in a great tension, she did not stop swallowing her saliva and held her breath for a long time.
“AARRHHHH!” squealed Margaret inching backwards.
Everyone in the room was shocked as Margaret screeched and showed a terrified expression.
“A-what's up?”
“Y-y-your Majesty, k-why are there a-there are many spirits who are angry at you?”
“Arwah?”
Margaret nodded in fear, the servants and ladies-in-waiting whispered as Margaret said so to the empress.
“That arrow holds you accountable Your Majesty, m-m-they say..”.
Margaret's words came to a halt for a moment, she felt uneasy about telling the empress directly.
“What did they say? Quickly tell me!” insist empress.
“They said that they will not take off the curse and they will also continue to haunt His Majesty. They don't want to leave because His Majesty did something evil to them,”
“LANCANG!” a ladyboy shouted to Margaret.
The empress raised her hand and told her maids not to be emotionally consumed. Once again the empress sighed while scolding her temple.
“Hahaha what did that lowly creature say? They deserve to die so why am I responsible? Do they deserve it?” the empress muttered with a wicked laugh.
The murmur of the empress could be heard by everyone in this room, they began to speak ill of the empress.
“Your Majesty, I apologize because my strength is not enough to repel the evil spirits,” Margaret said before the empress.
“Oh begiu yes? So, there's no reason I'm now letting you stay alive,”
“A-what do you mean His Majesty?”
“Hey you guys catch this fucking clairvoyant and kill him! Don't forgive him!” empress orders to her knights.
The knights obeyed the empress' orders, they arrested Margaret and dragged her out of her room.
“YOUR HONOR! PLEASE FORGIVE THE SERVANT! DON'T KILL ME YOUR MAJESTY!” margaret cried out for her life to be forgiven, but the empress did not care about it.
Cici who witnessed everything from the start, immediately reported this to Scarlesia. She was convinced that Scarlesia would be happy to hear the news about the empress and Margaret the deceitful soothsayer. Right now Scarlesia was in her room, she did nothing but fall down while looking up at the ceiling of her room.
“Who was the man who saved me when I drowned that time? Then the power was accidentally released because suddenly a memory of the power in my head. Wh why? Why would such an enormous power be in such a small body? Not only was it the power of healing, the ability to communicate with animals, even the power of the ruler of the oceans existed as well. Until now I still don't know anything about this, Scarlesia's inner” is slowly sinking in her mind.
The newly arrived Cici, knocked on the window of the room using his beak. Scarlesia who noticed Cici's arrival immediately opened the window for her.
“What's Cici? Is there any more exciting news?”
“Nona! Your plan went perfectly. Now Margaret will be killed by the empress,” reports Cici.
Scarlesia's plan was that she wanted to spread bad rumors in the empire through the mouths of others regarding the empress. For this reason, he used Margaret to launch his plan by telling Margaret to lie about the evil spirit that enveloped the empress when from the beginning there was no such thing as evil spirits.
People would believe what Margaret was saying because Margaret was on the rise now. He is known as a fortune teller who has saved many lives, they will believe that the empress is cursed by evil spirits because his past deeds often hurt and even kill many people.
“But Miss, who will spread the rumors? Wouldn't the empress threaten everyone who knew about it?” ask Cici.
“Who said the one who would spread this rumor was the one who was on the empress' side? Who will spread the rumors is someone who benefited the most due to the fall of the empress,”
The imperial concubine's palace
A servant who was smuggled in as a spy by Stella the concubine, gave a very good report to her.
“What did you say? The illness of the empress is a curse? He was cursed by an evil spirit whose life suffered because of the empress? Hahaha this is the best news I've had in recent times,” Stella laughed with satisfaction.
“What will we do next Your Majesty?” ask one of Stella's ladies.
“Of course we should spread this rumor to lower the empress' reputation. That way the nobles will side with me then I will take the empress seat for me. Quickly spread these rumors!” stella's orders.
“Good Your Majesty,”
It did not take long, bad rumors regarding the empress were widespread among the nobility and the common people. The empress they had considered so far good turned out to have an unexpected side. No one was able to stop the spread of the rumors. At this time in the town square, the people were busy talking about this rumor and not a few of them believed.
“Is the empress really cursed by evil spirits?”
“I can't believe this but seeing the empress's illness that doesn't heal, maybe it's because the empress has been cursed,”
“And he said the evil spirit came from people who were killed and hurt by the empress in the past,”
“They said that they would not let go of the empress just like that,”
“Then what about the fortune teller's fate now?”
“He said the soothsayer had been killed by the empress to cover up all the crimes committed by the empress,”
“It turns out that cruel empress. I can't imagine anything like this before,”
The emperor who received the report about the bad rumors of the empress, was powerless to hold back his anger. The nobles even requested that the emperor be resolute in dealing with this rumor because the rumors could have a heavy impact on the reputation of the emperor in the eyes of his subjects even in the eyes of other empires.
“CALL EMPRESS! AND TELL HIM TO FACE ME!” emperor's orders.
Not long after, the empress came to face the emperor. The empress felt great fear as she looked into the emperor's eyes, her voice held back as the emperor revealed his anger clearly to her.
“Roseanne, do you know why you were called here?”
“Sorry Your Majesty, I don't know at all,” replied the empress in a trembling voice.
“STUPID! HOW CAN BAD RUMORS ABOUT YOU SPREAD TO THE PEOPLE! ROSEANNE YOU'VE SMEARED MY GOOD NAME!” the emperor shouted furiously.
“Y-my Majesty...”.
“DIAM! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU ANYMORE! FROM TODAY YOU WILL BE PLACED IN THE THORNY PALACE! DON'T EVER GET OUT BEFORE I ORDER YOU TO GET OUT!”
