Queen Sword's

Eps 53 Emperor's Death

Rubia and the knight army had just arrived at the palace, there was no welcome at all, instead the palace workers and maids were busy with other things within the palace, a guard came up to Rubia who had just set foot in the palace courtyard, her face was soft and her body was trembling, she lowered her head in salute to Rubia.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor has just returned" he said, sobbing.

Instantly the atmosphere became silent, a lot of pairs of eyes were aghast and look shocked. Rubia turned towards Axel who was next to her "You know what to do right?" rubia said, answered with a nod by Axel, Rubia walked to her residence leisurely as if nothing had happened, people were confused by the situation and the reaction shown by Rubia as the Princess who had just lost her father let alone be surprised even she looked indifferent and was very calm.

Ferderick followed Rubia from behind, he noticed Rubia's mood, he believed that as bad as his parents, Rubia must still feel sad even though he did not show it at all.

The news of the Emperor's death soon spread throughout the continent, the next day a large funeral ceremony of diistana attended by upper class nobles and royal family relations, the following day, several representatives from neighboring countries were present to pay their last respects, Rubia, the Queen and all mourners simultaneously wearing black clothes, Rubia and the Queen received all the spotlight from various parties present, he said, one by one conveys a deep sense of condolence.

Rubia looked at her mother who was beside the tombstone of the Emperor, The Queen looked very sad, her tears kept flooding her cheeks, she constantly rubbed her cheeks with a black handkerchief held by her lady-in-waiting, seeing the reaction of the Queen whose feeling of being crushed by being left behind by her husband who had hurt her made people sympathize with her, support continues to come to the grieving Queen. But Rubia did not flinch at all to see the Queen who looks weak as she is today, because she knows that today is the day that the Queen has been waiting for.

In contrast to the Queen, a single drop of Rubia did not shed a tear, she just kept quiet beside the Queen who was acting perfectly, Axel came to Rubia, he whispered in Rubia's ear, he whispered, Rubia nodded "Tell them, do your duty" replied Rubia with a cold face.Axel then left the place again, Before long some special knight troops came, they approached the Queen who was sitting on the ground "Your Majesty the Queen, you are arrested on charges of killing His Majesty, a bottle of poison found in your bed" said the captain of special knights named Vincent.

As the situation grew boisterous, mourners whispered whispering about the Queen, just like how could she kill her own husband, it turned out that all her sadness was just acting? Various scorn continued to be aired by people who were in that place to Queen Isabella.

Queen Issabella got up, she avoided killing her husband, her eyes turned red, her anger peaked as the knights held her hand. "I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him, let go of me, you think you could survive doing something like this to me, get out!" his screams revolted as the knights dragged him along.

Queen Issabella looked back at Rubia "Rubia, my daughter, please Mother, it was not me who killed her, Rubia" she cried continuously, but Rubia did not budge at all.

In an instant Rubia got the spotlight of sympathy of people who had just turned to Queen Issabella, those who initially scorned Rubia who did not shed a tear or show normal sadness as humans are now beginning to understand why Rubia behaved that way, that is how people would have predicted it, they just want to do whatever will benefit them.

A tall burly man with a slightly dark skin with blood red hair and golden eyeballs came over to Rubia. "His Highness the Princess, I represent the Deborat Empire deeply grieving" The man bowed his head before Rubia.

"Thank you for coming second Prince, please enjoy your time in the empire"

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty, you must be very saddened by your father's departure"

Someone stopped Rubia's steps, "Your Majesty, I have my condolences" Duke Verano said, bowing his head, his eyes that usually look cunning now look empty but filled with great ambition, Rubia continued to look at the duke who was away, she could see the dark aura from Duke Verano's body.

"What's up, Your Majesty?" ask Ferderick who feels Rubia is being distracted.

"Something dark covered Duke Verano's body" he murmured, then he resumed his journey.

Inside the dark and damp dungeon Queen Isabella sat down bowed folding her legs on the cold floor, her eyes looking unfocused, her hair in a mess, and her hair was falling apart, many times he kept mumbling that he wasn't the culprit, he was innocent. His chaotic mind was filled with the shadow of his heavy life, it should be that after the emperor died he could live more freely and comfortably enjoying endless luxuries, but why was he now in such a dirty place, the Queen's mental state continued to be turbulent, he could not accept the fact that he had fallen into the deepest abyss, everything was very unfair to him, he said, for a long time she wanted to kill her husband but she still held him back but now she regrets not being able to kill him with her own hands and she has to accept unfair punishment for him.

Tuk tuk tuk, the sound of footsteps coming closer to him, his eyes aghast at someone who met him, he woke up and approached him "My sister please help get me out of here"

"It's a punishment because you've betrayed me, brother, you should thank me for not killing you even though you're no longer useful, but what is it you're doing? brother is only looking for his own benefit, avoiding me arrogantly, I want to see you die with all the people of this empire witnessed until your high pride is no longer left fufufu" Duke Verano seemed to smile grinningly.

"What's? Are you the one who put me in this situation? You killed the Emperor! It must be you" she cried hysterically.

"Hehehe, sooner or later you will soon be beheaded by your own daughter my dear sister, I have come to give you my last greetings, enjoy the rest of your days in peace Her Majesty the Queen" he smiled before leaving.

"Wait, no, Hill, no, don't be like this, don't do this hill I'm your brother Hill" he kept screaming calling his sister's name but he knew best of his attitude, but he kept calling her even though he knew that his sister would not turn to him.
