Miss Most Perfect Beauty

Enemies or Allies?

From that day on, the empress was put into a thorny palace by the emperor. A spiked palace is a palace filled with thorny black roses usually used by previous emperors to place empresses or concubines who make mistakes. In other words the emperor had thrown the empress into the thorny palace, no one had been expelled by the emperor from the palace.

“This is all because of that woman! If he hadn't been around in the first place, I wouldn't have suffered like now!” the grouse of the empress who had been locked up in the thorny palace.

At the same time, Scarlesia was inside the mirror world with Shou, Andreas, as well as the other men. They did some exercises to strengthen themselves. In between their training, Hana and Erin call Scarlesia because there seems to be something they want to talk about.

“Nona! Missis! You where?” call Erin and Hana.

Surprisingly Scarlesia appeared from behind the two of them, her presence that could not be felt shocked Erin and Hana.

“Yes Miss, you from anywhere?” ask Erin.

“I was just outside for a moment, why are you looking for me?” scarlesia asked back to shift the subject.

“We both have new news for you, this is related to the empress,” Erin said.

“OK, tell me what happened with the empress,”

Erin and Hana alternately tell of the empress who was locked up in the thorny palace. The empress was threatened with losing her position and Stella was planned to fill the vacancy of the empress position. The nobles urged the emperor to immediately lower the empress' position, of course this created a prolonged debate in the palace. Coupled with Stella starting to come down and take over some of the empress' responsibilities, the state of the palace is not okay now.

“Hahaha this is not yet because of the effects of the poison I gave the empress was just going to act,” Scarlesia laugh.

“Didn't the effect just make the empress's face just broken Miss?” ask Hana.

“No, there is a greater effect than that. The damage to the empress' face was just a trigger,”, Scarlesia replied as she pulled out her dresser chair for her to sit on.

“Nona, if His Majesty Consort occupies the position of empress about he will later become an enemy or ally?”

Erin's question made Scarlesia think for a moment, she put her index finger on her chin while thinking about some things in her head.

“It depends, if he dares to disturb my life of course he will be an enemy to me. But if he's quiet and enjoying his new position, I'll let him be while he's not harming me or my family,”

As they were conversing, a servant from the palace came to call Scarlesia.

“Nona, I came with a message from His Majesty Concubine that he would like to meet with Miss at this time too,”.

“Why Does Your Majesty's Concubine want to see me?” confused Scarlesia.

“I can not answer Miss, you should immediately come to the concubine's palace and you make sure yourself,” replied the waiter.

“Alright, I'll be there soon,”

After that, the maid waited for Scarlesia to get ready to go to the concubine's palace. Scarlesia sighed softly and hoped this was not something bad for her.

“Nona, are you sure to go see a concubine?” ask Erin.

“Yes, of course I am sure because this is my chance to see if the concubine is an enemy or an ally,” Scarlesia replied.

Finished in a dress and dressed thinly, Scarlesia went towards the concubine's palace along with the palace maid, Scarlesia did not bring anyone on her side as she did not want to involve others and just wanted to make sure of herself.

Arriving at the concubine's palace, Scarlesia immediately met Stella who had been waiting for her since earlier in the special room. Stella's pretty face, long wavy grey hair and brown pupils.

“Scarlesia Eginhardt salutes His Imperial Concubine,” Scarlesia said.

Stella encouraged Scarlesia to sit in the place that had been provided, the arrival of Scarlesia was greeted with a friendly and full of smiles by Stella.

“Please don't look at me with your watchful gaze,” reprimand Stella.

“I just feel wonder why you invited me here?” ask Scarlesia flat.

“Just you feel surprised, the reason I called you here is because I want to talk seriously with you,” Stella said putting down her tea cup and started putting on a serious face.

“What do you want to talk to me Your Majesty?”

“I know right now you must be thinking whether I'm your enemy or your ally, but just so you know I'm not the same as those scum. The reason I stayed in this palace was to avenge your mother's death,” Stella said.

“Returned Mother's death?”

Scarlesia was stunned as Stella spoke to him like that, she still did not fully understand what Stella meant.

“Yes, Larissa and I used to be close friends. He's helped me a lot and my family and he even helped my father's near-bankrupt business, cure my brother's illness, and save me from death. And you know who caused all that? The queen herself,”

“Enjoy? But what is the reason the empress did that to you Your Majesty?”

“Of course because she hates being rivaled, me and your mother are considered enemies by the empress. He will get rid of anyone who gets in his way, I enter the palace at the request of my parents. From the beginning I had no intention of becoming a concubine but due to the insistence of the palace side I finally agreed to it,” explained Stella.

“But the emperor likes my mother, do you not have a grudge against my mother like the empress did?”

Stella shook her head while smiling faintly.

“Since the beginning I never loved the emperor, I stayed here only to drop the empress,” Stella said.

“Your Majesty, you have been in the palace for quite some time. Did you find any evidence of my mother's death?” ask Scarlesia.

“I've got it, it's just that I'm waiting for the right time to reveal it.”

Scarlesia looked back at Stella, trying to assess whether she could trust the woman who was now in her presence or not.

“Your Majesty, can I trust everything you say? I don't like being lied to for your own benefit, ” a glance Scarlesia looked sharply at Stella.

“I won't force you to trust me but that's exactly what happened,”

Scarlesia nodded, she looked at both of Stella's eyes and from her gaze indeed she was honest in all her words.

“Alright, then I decided to trust you. Because I already trust you, I will say frankly that the Queen's illness until the incident about the fortune teller yesterday it was me who planned it,” said Scarlesia.

Stella does not look surprised by Scarlesia's confession to him, instead she looks that she already knows it from the beginning.

“I've guessed, only you dare to do something as brave as this. You're so smart for a girl your age,” flatter Stella.

“For that reason, I warn you for a few days please do not be too often with the emperor because soon something extraordinary will happen,”

“What do you mean?”

“You will see it later Your Majesty, please just follow what I said because the end of the show will start soon,”
