Queen Sword's

Eps 61 The Genesis of Nahas Seven Years Ago

A few days later.

Tok tok tok, Ferderick knocked on the door of the Emperor's study, he opened the door and walked in, he saw the Emperor's desk filled with several piles of documents, he saw, Rubia and Irena were so serious at their desks that they could not hear the knocking of the door and the sound of Ferderick's footsteps.

"Baginda" he said as he stepped closer, Rubia finally turned to him.

"Yes? Since when have you been there?" he answered while glancing at Ferderick while still focusing on reading his hand.

"I just received a letter from Mr. Stev to you" Rubia put a sheet in her hand and then got up and approached Ferderick who was still by the door.

Rubia took the letter from Ferderick's hand, then sat down in the guest chair and opened the letter.

Rubia smiled faintly "Good is also their job" he muttered after finishing reading the letter.

Rubia turned to Irena "Irene, you can rest this late, you can continue your work tomorrow"

"Your Majesty" Iren left after cleaning his desk.

"Baginda, why do you keep working late into the night these few days?" ask Ferderick.

"There's so much I have to take care of, I'm having trouble sleeping, I better turn my mind to work, isn't that more useful?" Rubia leaned her back in the chair while doing light head stretches.

"Is it because of the curse symptom?"

Rubia momentarily fell silent, again she provoked Ferderick's thought in that direction "No, you don't need to think about the matter, I can take care of it myself" Rubia threw her face in the other direction.

"Baginda-"

"Quite Fer, I know what you want to say, I don't want to hear!"

"Relain.."

"Fer, I have some good news for you, do you want to hear?" he tried to shift the subject.

"Please say" Ferderick can only resign, for a few days Rubia continues to divert the conversation and does not want to discuss the problems related to the curse however he tried to persuade and convince that he will be fine.

"The con man who ran away all your parents' business money seven years ago, I found him" he began the conversation seriously.

Ferderick surprised "Are you serious?"

"Of course, but there's one problem"

"Here you found him? Why was he not found in the past? What's problem?"

"She got away and couldn't be found because someone deliberately covered her tracks, but because someone was investigating the case back to make the culprit kill the con man, Count Stewart's case wasn't as simple as it seemed, someone's been planning your family's downfall"

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't tell you because you must be very sensitive about this matter, I'm sure you can lose control before it's all revealed, I did an investigation long before I ascended the Throne, I just asked for some professional information Guide help and only now can they really solve this problem"

"I understand, Sire, So what did you find?"

"You know someone named Baron Khaman, right?"

"Of course, it was that guy who sold me and my sister to a slave prison"

"That man is now on the run, someone wants to kill him by eliminating the possible evidence.So this is how I came to this conclusion from the amount of information that has come to me up to now, initially feeling envy with the Count's growing trade union business and slowly ruling the trade in the empire, the Count was also very active in donating to the poor and orphanages, thus making his name widely known as a generous rich man, his land was so fertile that the people became very prosperous, his territory continued to grow rapidly, and the, until someone who has a higher position than him feels threatened by his success in the eyes of the people, that person continues to compare with the Count, his reputation is further destroyed because he is an arrogant and rude person, he said, until a long time the person felt unable to stand the reputation of the count who made him look more despicable in the eyes of people, then he planned a crime to bring down the Count family, which made him even more despicable,the man teams up with Baron Khaman who is famous for his greed by being promised property and land belonging to the Count's family, Baron teams up with a con man, but unfortunately the fraudster really ran away alone to bring his stolen money that was abundant alone, while Baron asked for compensation that had been promised by the man but the man reneged on his promise, because in the end the Count's residence and territory was seized by the palace because it was proven that the count's debt debt was indeed faked by a con artist whose whereabouts were unknown"

"So? The baron who didn't get anything ended up selling me and my brother for money?" he asked with a face that looked painful.

Rubia nodded "Right" she turned to Ferderick's increasingly dark face, her hands clenched.

"So, to avoid the widening problem someone made the Count and Countess as if they were hit by a horse carriage accident"

The look on Ferderick's face was getting grim, his eyes were so red, he found out that his parents were suffering because they were too good, his family was destroyed by one's malice and greed.

"Who is that, Sire? The man who killed my parents?" he said in a trembling voice, with both hands clenching tighter and tighter.

"Grand Duke Mark Lewis"

Ferderick immediately stepped towards the door, but Rubia held his hand "What are you going to do?" Rubia got up from her seat and grabbed another hand of Ferderick.

"I have to kill him, that guy! Please do not block me, Sire, I must repay his actions" he said with great emphasis.He turned his eyes away from Rubia who wanted to block him.

"Sorry Fer, I have to get in your way"

"Please let go of my hand, Sire!" he said, his voice trembling more and more, it seems that his anger is at its peak and now his blood is boiling.

"No, listen to me first" Rubia pulled him back until Ferderick's body faced him. "I know you're desperate to kill him, but you can't be a murderer to punish a murderer, you and your brother will get into trouble for not having enough evidence and attacking the Prime Minister unilaterally, there's a surer way to punish him, can you trust me?" Persuaded it.

"But Sire-"

Ferderick still insisted on coming over and beating the man, but Rubia again withdrew her hand, Ferderick who usually looks very strong and seems to have no feelings now looks so weak and fragile that Rubia could not afford to hug him, calm and comfort her who currently looks very chaotic, and she is not able to hold him, Even Ferderick was powerless to endure his grief, a feeling of grief that he had endured for so long finally burst forth for a moment, as if he had returned to being ten-year-old Ferderick, his tears could not ease his anger and sadness, he leaned his head on Rubia's shoulder, hugging tightly his body that was much smaller than her but at the same time looked much more resilient so he wanted to continue leaning on her.

"This is what I'm worried about, I'm sorry for telling you this very bitter truth" Rubia's hand patted Ferderick's back gently. Ferderick was getting sadder, he was crying without a sound, but Rubia knew the tears she wanted to hide.
