Queen Sword's

Eps 41 Believe Me

Rubia hurried away to the Emperor's study after listening to Ferderick's detailed explanation of the people from the Black Shadow guild, Rubia came to a halt in front of the King's office door, before entering, he stared intently and approached the king's bodyguard, Vernand, who was standing guard outside the room..

"Your name is Vernand, right?" ask Rubia.

He nodded "Right Your Majesty, you have any need with me?" the man again smiled smirkingly after finishing his speech.

"You must have underestimated me, right?I will never forget what you did to me this time Sir Vernand" he whispered, smiling as he patted Vernand on the shoulder.

"The Emperor is having a guest of His Highness the Princess, you cannot enter now" Vernand said casually.

"Oh, is that my uncle? We are a family so it doesn't matter if I join Sir Vernand? Do you mind"

"Of course I don't dare Your Majesty"

"Then open the door now, hurry up!"

The look on Vernand's face seemed to say why Rubia knew that Duke Verano was with the Emperor.

Rubia immediately opened the door because Vernand did not open for her, she forced her way in despite being blocked by the King's bodyguards.

"What the hell is this Rubia, didn't my bodyguard say that I was having an important guest?" said the Emperor who was instantly emotionless as soon as he saw his daughter after returning from the monster nest.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there's something urgent I have to say"

Duke Verano smiled as he sipped tea in front of him "No problem Sire, we are family so it's okay Princess to behave like that in front of this uncle" actually the Duke faintly heard Rubia say the word family at the door.

"Hoho you're such an understanding uncle of the Duke" the Emperor smiled kindly to Duke Verano.

Then the Emperor looked back at Rubia who was still standing before them "What do you want to say?" he has lost his smile.

"About my assault case on the way today, the witness who was interrogated was deliberately lying to corner someone, please revoke the arrest order to the organizer of His Majesty's Black Shadow union" Rubia said as she lowered her head.

"How could such a dangerous thing be left to pass by Her Highness the Princess, this concerns your precious life, please do not prevent Her Majesty from punishing someone who is indeed worthy of punishment" the Duke looked at the Emperor and Rubia in turn.His words made Rubia clench both hands, Rubia was eager to silence the mouth with her fist.

"That's right Rubia, don't obstruct the official procedures of the palace, they have been arrested on charges of treason" the king said with an unhappy face.

"What's?A betrayal?" Rubia had really run out of patience with the easily instigated Emperor.

"Right, once they're found guilty they'll be executed immediately along with everyone involved in today's assault, I heard that the child who became your personal bodyguard was also from that union but since he has now become your bodyguard then I will be kind and release him from the accusation of cooperation with the perpetrators of treason" the King again. Duke Verano smiled again as he glanced at Rubia who looked increasingly upset.

"You really want to punish the innocent His Majesty the King?!" rubia said with a very sharp look at the Emperor.

"They're former palace knights, it's only natural that they have a grudge with a member of the royal family, do you understand?"

"They're not like that" Rubia denied in a loud voice.

"How dare you shout to the Emperor"The Emperor shouted back to Rubia.

"Basic useless!" rubia murmured while stepping her feet out of the room.

"The disrespectful child" said the emperor, who saw Rubia leave.

"Alright, I wish you a lot my sister"

The duke left in a hurry to chase after Rubia "Her Royal Highness the Princess, Please wait a moment, there's something I want to talk to you about" the Duke shouted as he approached her.

Rubia stopped and turned around "Your Majesty, what if we do a deal? You want to hear it?"

"Tell me" said Rubia, turning her eyes away because she was so sick of seeing his face.

"I'm going to release the man you said was innocent if you fire your personal bodyguard and have him work under me, as a knight in the Duke's residence, that's very easy isn't it?"

"Duke, you won't be able to handle it even if he works under you, do you still not understand? bury that tight meeting of your wishes, do you think I can't do anything to protect my people?" rubia said, stressing her words, then she just left.

"Hahaha.Just do it if you can Your Highness the Princess" he laughed dismissively.

Ferderick looked at the man he thought was his family with a bitter look on his face, those who were gathered in the cell with their hands and feet bound.

"Hey, what's with that handsome face of yours? You look really cool in a knight uniform like this" Stev said, revealing a wry smile.

"What happened to Lady ilona?" ask Ferderick.

"He's gonna be okay, you don't have to worry"

"Yes, it's true that Ferderick we are fine as long as we are fed enough that we will feel at home here" said one of his mercenary friends, he laughed and was welcomed to agree with the others.

"I'm sorry, because I'm you're locked up here, I'm sorry" Ferderick said with a bitter look.

Rubia approaches Ferderick, and touches his frail and helpless back for the first time "Fer"

Ferderick turned "Your Majesty"

"Don't worry, I'll release them no matter what, they're innocent and I promise you, don't you trust me" Rubia said gently. Ferderick nodded, everyone in the cell looked very interested in seeing the interaction of the two of them.They looked like wild cats were submissive with their owners.

Joseph approached "His Highness the Princess, you are growing up very well" he said as he stared deeply at Rubia's face.

"Do you know me?"

"Yes, he and I are the knights who control you from the time you are born until you are five" Joseph pointed to Stev.

"really? I'd love to hear your stories but I have to figure out a way to get you out of here, I'll see you after you get out of here" Rubia said.

"Okay, Your Majesty, we believe in you" their eyes all seemed to sparkle, Rubia was deeply moved by their trust in her powerless self. Rubia nodded and left the place, Ferderick followed her.
