A few days later, after considerable contemplation of himself Ameli exchanged letters with Rubia, in the letter, he expressed an apology for causing trouble for Rubia and said he intended to accept his match with Jasson Verano.
Rubia did not blame him for what had happened to her and the Emperor felt sorry for not being able to help Amelie despite the unwanted match, then Rubia suggested that Ameli and his family spread a rumor saying that he was in such a big pain that it would be easier for him to buy time as long as necessary.
After negotiating it with her family, Amelie agreed with her family to spread a rumor about her who suddenly experienced severe pain,since then Amelie and Rubia have often exchanged letters and who would have thought they were both quite suitable for each other, probably because the same two are not quite good at socializing.
Hearing the news that had been widespread among the nobles about the Marquess daughter's health made Duke Verano feel suspicious they had deliberately planned it in order to avoid the Emperor's order. The Duke became very angry, he immediately looked for a way to let people know that the Marquess family had deceived the public.
The duke returned to the Emperor for help, and he managed to easily send a healing priest from the temple after receiving approval from the weakly lying Emperor.
.
A man wearing a veil and dressed in all black stopped the chariot mounted by the healing priest whom the Emperor had sent to the Marquess' residence, the man frightened the priest by threatening to kill him if he did not follow his will, fearing that he would lose his life, the priest complied with his wishes, the priest also told Duke Verano that Princess Marquess really hurt hard and the healing will take years.Although not accept and still feel suspicious,but the Duke can't do anything about the situation at this time.This time Rubia is one step ahead of Duke Verano.
Ferderick returns to Rubia's room through the window after completing the secret task that Rubia asked for, although their relationship is very awkward because Rubia who arrived suddenly yelled at him and vented her frustration the other day, but Ferderick still trying to work beside Rubia without showing his feelings as if nothing happened.Only Rubia who looks a little uncomfortable.
"Fer's good work" he said awkwardly.Ferverick just nodded.
Tok tok, someone knocked on Rubia's room, Rubia opened the door and went out.
"What's Luna?"
"Your Majesty, the head of the lady-in-waiting of Her Majesty the Queen delivered a message, you were asked to meet Her Majesty at her residence" said Luna, one of the ladies-in-waiting for Rubia, she's a young girl the same age as Rubia.
"really?" Rubia looked in disbelief, during her new life the Queen was looking for her, what else this time? Rubia felt a bad feeling.
Rubia came out of her residence with Ferderick, her eyes running around the door of her palace, what made the Emperor change his mind, but the guards had already left the door of Rubia's palace, and the soldiers had left the door of Rubia's palace, that indicates that the punishment period that must be lived Rubia has ended.
"Your Majesty, after this what if you practice swordsmanship with me?" said Ferderick who seemed doubtful.
"Good idea, wait for your defeat Fer" he replied with a straight look ahead.
Ferderick smiled faintly "Please Your Majesty's permission, I won't budge"
Rubia smiled "I love your confidence"
Rubia stopped at the door of the Queen's residence guarded by two armed guards, not since when he had not set foot in the palace where his mother was, he said, even Rubia did not remember at all whether she had entered or not into a palace that was much grander than her residence.
He went in there, apparently the Queen had been sitting waiting for him while enjoying tea very gracefully.
"Greetings Her Majesty the Queen, you call me?" he said with a flat face.
The queen turned her head towards him, then put down the cup she was holding "You've come? Be seated"
Rubia sat before the Queen "Why do you call me?"
"Tomorrow I'll have a regular tea party at my greenhouse garden, I hope you join me, I will introduce you to the noble ladies who will support you and strengthen your power after you ascend the throne later"
"Well, thank you for your attention to me"
The queen smiled "Don't judge it excessively, in the end I did this for my own sake"
"I understand" should not be emphasized even if he has understood the meaning.
"You can go back to your place"
"Ahh... I heard you've been making the Emperor in pain for the past few days?"
In the end the rumors became like that.
Rubia just fell silent not wanting to respond to the Queen's words.
The queen glanced at Rubia's face and then got up from her seat "I don't blame you, my daughter's good work, I'd be more proud of you if you killed your useless father" she whispered in Rubia's ear.
Rubia did not waver, but she felt very irritated, not because she wanted to defend the emperor, but because such a remark was not worth saying to her daughter by a mother.
.
Rubia and Ferderick faced each other while holding a sword in front of each other, trang trang trang, they began to clash with strength and attack each other, Rubia's face seemed to want to finish off his opponent, ferderick acted with heart for fear of hurting Rubia.
Suddenly Rubia stopped her attack when her breath began to gasp "Let's stop this Fer, I'm afraid I could really hurt you" Rubia felt she had to stop him before her mind was again overpowered by the demons as it had already been.
"Have you forgotten that I am a Venerable Swordmaster?" ferderick was just trying to cheer him up who looked bad after coming out of the queen's palace.
"You didn't really attack me either" Rubia found out.
"Well, let's take a break first" Ferderick said as he walked to fetch a bag of drinking water and gave it to Rubia who had been sweating, but the weather was still very cold.
Glucose, Rubia finished the drinking water she received, they sat next to each other on the wooden chair at the edge of the sword training ground "what did the knights do? why so quiet?" he looked around, then put a pot of drinking water next to him to sit down.
"At this hour the knights were patrolling around the palace and some groups were patrolling the large streets of the urban center where criminals were harassing the people"
"You don't feel jealous of them?"
"Why should I be envious?"
"Wouldn't it be unpleasant to just sit in the Crown Princess' palace and look at my face all day?"
"I'm glad to see your face" even Ferderick didn't realize what he just said.
Crick, suddenly the atmosphere became silent, they both looked at each other, Ferderick had noticed his ambiguous remark, his face was reddened and confused.
"Pffit.ttt..' Rubia immediately covered her mouth with her hands.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Your face is funny"
Ferderick looked at Rubia's smiling face, he wanted to smile but hid his smile by turning his face in the other direction.
Behind them Axel stood silently looking at Rubia who looked very familiar and close to his personal bodyguard, he had also heard rumors circulating among the knights about the closeness of their relationship which leads to a relationship.
