The palace of darkness
At this time Leroux the god of darkness gathered all his subordinates whose numbers had been drastically reduced due to the war that occurred before. His face was not friendly at all, as if his anger was about to explode into his remaining subordinates. This had been a defeat for the many times he had found.
“BASIC IS USELESS! TAKING CARE OF JUST ONE WOMAN YOU CAN'T!” he was angry from above his throne.
None of his subordinates dared to answer and look at him at this time, the anger of the dark god was a frightening thing for them. His sharp eyes seemed to pounce and kill them all.
“AARRHHH! IF THIS IS HOW MY PLAN COULD BE THWARTED AGAIN BY THAT DAMN WOMAN!”
Leroux seemed to want to throw down his subordinates, but he had to hold it down because for him they were still useful to carry out his plans. Leroux then defused his anger, sitting back on his throne.
“I have to find another way to kill him. Then I will try to kill him indirectly because this is the most powerful way to kill the girl,”
The Kirin Pavilion
Unwittingly by Scarlesia, bad rumors about her poisoning the empress until a miscarriage have spread in the capital. However, at this moment the rumor still did not enter the residence of Duke Eginhardt. The bad rumor was spread by one of the nobles who was present at the party celebrating Scarlesia's maturity.
Scarlesia is now being swept away in her endless reverie.
“If I want to get rid of the emperor and Nieva then I must have the same position as them. But how do I get that position without having to marry someone equal to the emperor?” scarlesia Mumbles.
Want him to think like whatever it was, there would be no answer that he finally got to relax his mind Scarlesia decided to go to the capital.
“Sia, where are you going?” ask Kitty curious.
“I'm going to the capital for a bit. Are you going again? Lately I have rarely met you huh Kitty,” Scarlesia said.
Indeed, for some time recently Kitty is rarely in the residence, Scarlesia herself does not know where Kitty really goes. But whenever asked, Kitty replies that she conducts various investigations about the condition of the world further along with some of her subordinates.
“I'll be home in a few days. There is still a lot I do because I am an animal directly sent by the animal god to protect you,” Kitty replied.
Although it feels unwilling, Scarlesia must let him go because Kitty works directly under the orders of the animal god.
“Good. Then take good care of yourself, don't get hurt. Oh yeah wait a minute,”
Scarlesia rushed to pick up her medicine box, she bagged some herbal medicine for Kitty.
“Bring this. If you why-why can you use this drug,” Scarlesia said.
“Oke, thank you Sia for worrying about me so far,”
“Iya both. Be careful on the road yes Kitty,” message Scarlesia to Kitty who jumps away.
Now Scarlesia was leaving her room, she tried to see Andreas and the others but they were still asleep. Scarlesia wanted to invite one of them to come out with her but she could not bear to wake them up.
“Nona, where are you going?” asked Archie who came out suddenly from his room.
“I want to go out but it seems like no one can accompany me,” replied Scarlesia lethargic.
“What if I accompany you Miss? Coincidentally I was being free,” Archie offered himself to accompany Scarlesia.
“Really? Let's go now,” take Scarlesia sumringah.
“Well Miss,”
“What's up?” scarlesia asked as she pulled the corner of her lips.
“Does Miss like a gift from me?” ask Archie.
“You mean this bracelet? Of course I like it. Thank you yes,”
Scarlesia displayed a white pearl bracelet that Archie had specially prepared for her. Archie seemed happy to know that Scarlesia was wearing her bracelet.
“I heard you also helped in preparing his ice palace right? Thank you once again,” Scarlesia said thank you.
“T-no! I just helped a little,” elak Archie blushed in embarrassment.
Scarlesia chuckles whenever she sees Archie acting embarrassed when she is with him, she seems nervous but still tries to stay beside Scarlesia. Upon arrival at the capital, Scarlesia and Archie went around to take off the weight that was on his head at the moment. However, there was something strange about people's gazes at him. At first Scarlesia let it go but the gaze grew increasingly uncomfortable.
“What's with these people?” thought Scarlesia.
“BASIC KILLER! STILL DARE TO SHOW YOUR FACE IN THIS EMPIRE,”
“GET AWAY FROM HERE!”
“YOU HAVE MADE THE EMPRESS MISCARRY!”
“BASIC YOU KILLER! HOW MUCH YOU POISONED THE EMPRESS!”
“THAT YOU GUYS ARE STEPBROTHERS BUT IT TURNS OUT YOUR PRETTY FACE IS USELESS AT ALL! FREE TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FACE BUT HEART LIKE A DEVIL!”
“DID YOU HATE THE EMPRESS TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT YOU POISONED AN INNOCENT CHILD NOTHING IN THE EMPRESS' STOMACH?!”
“GO FROM THIS EMPIRE! WE DON'T NEED A KILLER LIKE YOU,”
People threw him with Scarlesia stones, though his head was bleeding but thanks to his healing power he was able to remove his wounds in an instant.
“What did they say? A killer? Ahh it seems that the rumors regarding Nieva poisoning were already spreading among the common people, Scarlesia's inner” protected her head with her hands from the citizen's throw.
“DON'T HURT MISS! MISS NEVER POISONED THE EMPRESS!” Archie tries to block in front of Scarlesia so that people do not throw Scarlesia using stones again.
“MINGGIR YOU BOY! THIS WOMAN COULD-CAN BRING MISFORTUNE TO THIS EMPIRE!”
Archie who tried to protect Scarlesia was also pelted by them, Scarlesia immediately hugged Archie so as not to be hit by people who were angry with him. Scarlesia could not kill these people because they were just ordinary people who were consumed by bad rumors about her.
“YOU CAN BE MAD AT ME BUT DON'T HURT THE FUCKING ARCHIE!” snapped Scarlesia emotions.
“THEN GET OUT OF THIS EMPIRE! YOU'VE BECOME A MURDERER! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OUT, YOU DIE! BETTER LIKE THAT ONLY,”
“ABOUT YOU DUKE EGINHARDT'S SON DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN JUST AS BADLY!”
Scarlesia growled at their already outrageous words, the accusations they made her rise in blood. Once again Scarlesia was stoned, her blood spilling slightly from her head but before the wound widened, her power closed it again.
Archie who was in Scarlesia's arms asked to take off her arms, Scarlesia could not help it and finally released Archie. Suddenly, a man pushed Scarlesia down on the dirty ground. Archie who saw him could not accept it, he was emotional, his anger could not be controlled anymore.
“DON'T YOU HURT MY BROTHER!”
