"Aahaha! My plan went well!"
Rosalia continued to laugh with satisfaction
Meanwhile, his entire family was gathered there, and they knew what was really going on. But, they only learned of the plan and just saw what kind of card Rosalia had, that's why they sat opposite her, sculpting and sweating coldly while hearing her laughter
Behind Rosalia's chair, all her allies were standing there. Yuriel, Jael, Darwin and Walter just smile at each other with their laughter
"I'm sure that Oberon will be hated by the whole world now! Ahahaha!!!"
The dirty plan worked. Since he couldn't kill me easily, he tried to find a way to scapegoat myself
Thanks to the magic of the royal witches, he was able to spread the fake news around the world. And the slightest sprinkling of aura that Jael gave made all those who were not vigilant to believe
All the people in the world hate me now. And that's what Rosalia wanted
"I must admit, your plan was brilliant princess" Yuriel said
"of course! And also, whether or not the next step is determined by you, Yuriel" Rosalia said
"ahaha! Of course princess. For me, the business of tricking the public later is only as easy as flicking a finger"
He then sipped the teacup in his hand
"Hey, it's rude to drink tea standing up. Please, sit down first"
"May you princess?"
"Why not, you're my grandfather. Ah yes, the others just stand still"
Yuriel immediately took a sitting position beside Rosalia. Darwin and Walter grumbled, while Yael kept silent and kept smiling
Rosalia then turned to her family who were still silent sculpting
"Why? Don't like the snacks?"
No one answered
Only Sofia dared to open her mouth
"A-my son. I-"
"You call me your son? I just realized you think I'm a child?"
Rosalia drank her tea, also rolling her eyeballs with a smile
Sofia then just remained motionless
They all feel like they are on the edge right now. One wrong move in front of Rosalia, they would fall and break on the ground
"L-then, what's your next plan, Rosalia" Celeste ventured to ask
He held Damien's hand as tightly as he could while trying to look into Rosalia's eyes with a cynical smile
"... Make Damien the next king" Rosalia said
...
"You're serious...?" Celeste asked in disbelief
"certain. The thing is, if I were to become the leader of this place later, people would actually be suspicious of me"
"I think so too. When a king dies, it is the crown prince who must take his throne as the king's successor. Even if the princess is the most important person, Prince Damien must take the throne" Yael explained
Celeste was still in disbelief at what came out of Rosalia's mouth
"Then, what's your advantage in this?"
"You're more stupid than I thought, queen mother"
"What-what??"
"Remember your place"
Yael who was suddenly behind Celeste instantly gave her goosebumps and stopped trying to hurt Rosalia
Celeste then returned to sitting quietly while holding back her anger, again being devoured by excess fear
Rosalia explained again
"Damien will be king. But, I will control all decisions in this kingdom"
"You better be king yourself, right?"
"We're deaf or stupid? All right, I'll explain....
I just made Damien my shield"
His whole family was shocked
"We're pawns for you!?" Darius interrupted
Rosalia stared with a ridiculed look at him
"Salah~ You pawns are to be thrown away. You're lower than pawns"
Darius furious. He wanted to stand up and hit Rosalia, but...
"Aagh!!" Darius is in pain
He was lying on the floor and rolling on the ground. Sofia immediately tried to help him, but did not help at all. Meanwhile, his other family just watched with a look of horror
"I beg you! Don't hurt him!" Sofia begged
Darius screamed even more violently because of the pain in his body
"You're so presumptuous..." Rosalia murmured
Rosalia slowly walked towards him and gave a wrathful look
She then stomped on her sister's chest as Sofia tried to get in her way as she continued to beg and grimace. But, Sofia's efforts still do not produce anything, because somehow, Rosalia's strength is equivalent to that of an adult man
"Be aware of your place, you bastard!!"
He then lifted his leg from Darius' chest and stepped back into his seat. The pain in Darius' body disappeared, but he fainted on the spot as Sofia hugged him in fear
All the members of the Rosalia family stared at him with frightened faces
"Listen. If you want to live, don't you dare open your mouth about this. And also...
Welcome to the new Hortensia family. May you be at home following my orders" Rosalia said, her grin slowly widening on her face
They all nodded nervously while letting out cold sweat
Collin tries to hide behind Lynia. She was really scared of her brother
Then, slowly he hoped that none of this would ever happen. That's why he feels sorry. He regretted he never tried to get close to his brothers just because of his mother's wishes
And in the depths of his heart, he wished that someone had come to resolve this. And the person he expected to do that was Verdea
......................
"The princess hasn't slept yet, has she?"
Walter enters Rosalia's room
Rosalia was just sitting on her bed reading a book
"Hm...? Black magic spell?"
"Just try to learn it. Yael says it's so fun"
"Depends on the person. I've tried black magic before, and.... Uh... Doesn't end well"
Rosalia laughed at Walter
"That's because you're stupid for doing things" he mocked Walter
"yeah. Everyone says so"
Walter then stood leaning against Rosalia's bedpost
"By the way, I have, 'interesting news' for you princess"
Rosalia stopped reading the book for a moment and turned to look at Walter curiously
"Oh? And what is the news?" He asked with enthusiasm
Walter smiled as he walked slowly towards Rosalia
"Your sister is still alive" Walter whispered later
Rosalia rolled her eyeballs uninterested after those words
"Well, very unattractive apparently. What can the boy do when he is separated from Oberon?"
Rosalia who began not interested was back to read the book without looking at Walter in the least
"Your habit of underestimating people is what you have to lose the princess"
He was silent for a while, then continued his words
"That boy, your brother, has a unique seal on his hand. Or you could say so"
Rosalia flinched
"In his hand...
Don't tell me that black, flower-shaped painting on the back of his right hand"
"Bingo. Exactly once~
And it's not some kind of painting. There's, 'something' inside. I tried to send some of my subordinates to capture them, but those subordinates disappeared without a trace after giving me that information" Walter explained in more detail
...
"Then? What's your progress in catching the kid?"
Rosalia who began to be interested in it immediately changed her sitting position
"... Unfortunately... I lost track of the boy when the crew I sent disappeared without a trace"
"... Gravely. Maybe I'll send Yael-"
"No. No need. I don't need that rotten mixed blood to interfere"
"... Why?"
Walter threw away his face while replacing it with an angry face
"Because I don't like him at all. After all, that seal your sister has most likely she'll take for herself"
"That applies to you too, right? You can also take my sister's seal for yourself"
"certain. But I attach more importance to your money and trust than to abundant power"
Rosalia smiled faintly hearing Walter
"At least you're honest. All right, I'll leave my brother's fate in your hands. Make sure you catch it and give me the seal"
"By pleasure"
With his last words, Walter walked out of Rosalia's room and went to her room
...
"That guy's no fun to me at all" A voice came from behind Rosalia
Yael suddenly appears in the shadow of the mattress and stands near Rosalia
"Come on. Be a little competitive" Rosalia retorted while laughing softly
"I was just mad that he doubted my loyalty to you. The bottom of the seawater eater" Yael said in a furious tone
"Oh yeah? So, you think you're more loyal than him?"
"I'm not saying I'm the most loyal. But, the person who only targeted your money was more unfaithful than me"
"... Well, that's right. But I don't care as long as they're useful"
Rosalia then picked up her comb and started combing her hair to get ready for bed
But he stopped the movement of his hand, and somehow his face was also seen coming down
Her serious face, made Yael realize that she was feeling bad right now
"... How about yourself? Don't feel like I'm just using you?" Rosalia asked
...
Jael just kept quiet and smiled. Since there was nothing he could talk about anymore, he simply returned behind the shadow and disappeared
Meanwhile, Rosalia again feels interested in what Walter has just said
Seal...
The power of the seal caused the entire contents of the ship to disappear without a trace
A grin slowly formed on his face
"I'll get it. Just wait, my beloved sister, Verdea..."
The plan has just begun. This time, the target was Verdea who was somewhere else right now
Only God knows what kind of evil he would do just to find Verdea
