The Second Life's

CI - After Coup (II)

“How long have I been unconscious?” tanyaku later. “My body feels sore and my throat is very dry.”

“You've fainted for a whole week, Queen. The Imperial Physician had already gone five times back and forth to this palace to check on the Queen's condition periodically. The doctor said that you will get well soon if you continue to rest,” replied Jasmine.

I nodded in understanding. For forcing myself too much to give Rose Hindley a magic command, I rendered myself helpless for an entire week. I will never be careless like this again.

“I'll get the Queen a drink, please wait a minute,” Chloe said.

“You two go with Chloe. Please prepare breakfast for me. As for Knight Franklin, there's something I want to talk to you about.”

Jasmine and Matilda looked at Hendery for a moment. After the two of them left me and Hendery, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Hendery gave me a piece of paper that he took from his inner pocket. That's the stuff I want. A letter of handover of power written directly before he died.

“Good. Thank you for saving it for me,” I said sincerely. “After my condition begins to improve, we can resume our plans. You have to be ready.”

Hendery smile. “Although I do not seem to have much role in this Queen's plan, but I will still faithfully accompany the Queen in the future.”

“As a Duke candidate, you must throw away your bad habits, Knight Hendery,” scolds me, just remind me.

“Good, Queen. Your words will always be remembered.” Hendery smiled again.

Well, I really want Hendery to be able to remember what I said and be wiser and respond to something. His words and actions should also be worthy of a true knight.

Hopefully, my expectations are in accordance with the reality that will happen in the future to Hendery. I was really expecting that.

“How about Rose Hindley condition?” tanyaku later.

“He was brought home by Baron Hindley to their residence. The condition is very concerning, mentally disturbed,” explained Hendery. “Slightly additional information, the head of Consort Sienna was secured in the Sacred Tower to investigate. I've given a makeshift description with a personal knight's alibi. You don't have to worry about specific information. That's already your part.”

I nodded in agreement. “True. We must also reveal the disappearance of the people and servants of the palace. There's a lot of work to be done. Today take a break for a moment, tomorrow we will start seriously.”

“Good, Queen.” Hendery.

I finished enjoying my breakfast in the room. My ladies have come out to let me rest. It seems like I haven't been this relaxed for a long time. The empire was destroyed, Idris died at my hands, Rose Hindley went mad, and most importantly Consort Sienna had gotten her payback.

At first glance, I wondered what Ava would do to the body of Consort Sienna. I'm sure that the body of Consort Sienna will be used for something. Moreover, I know that Ava is very fond of collecting things.

By the way, I haven't called Lucas since we last met. I hurried to get my communication crystal in the nightstand drawer, and I contacted Lucas.

“Sweetheart?”

My cheeks are red. “Halo.”

“Oh, you finally called me!” lucas, sounds happy. “How are you doing? Every night I've been trying to reach you since Ava and you destroyed the Empire. Are you okay?”

“I think Ava has explained some details of what happened to you, Lucas,” I said. “I used too much command magic on Rose Hindley. Therefore, I became unconscious for a week.”

“What?!”

Lucas grunted. “I don't want to discuss that grumpy Grandma. He's a real bitch,” Lucas replied. “Most importantly, I just want to hear how you are. What are you doing now?”

“I just rest in my room. Before holding Idris' funeral, I was asked to recover my energy first,”. “We're one step closer, Lucas.”

“True, Sweetheart. I can't wait to have you without thinking about anything else. Ah, my heart is beating fast because of this happy thing.” Lucas laughs. “Do I overdo it?”

I also laughed. “No. Not at all. Being happy in a time like this is normal.”

“King, we'll be late for a meeting today.” That's not Lucas' voice. It's possible it's Ava's right-hand man if I don't remember wrongly.

“You don't see I'm talking to someone important?” Lucas sounded annoyed. “And why don't you knock on the door first before entering?!”

“It starts in five minutes. If you leave now we won't be late,” Lucas' right-hand man said again. He's a tough guy.

“Basic Bloodhart,” Lucas said. “Sweetheart, I have to go. Here the condition is very unlikely to relax for a long time. If there's any more time, I'll call you, okay?”

“Good, Lucas. See you later.”

“See you later.”

Lucas seems to be very busy dealing with all the Avnevous work alone. Here, I also have to clear up all the remaining problems so that my next plan can run smoothly.

First of all, I have to make Idris's power handover letter look official. Before the lapse occurred, I had a chance to duplicate the Emperor's stamp from Idris's study. With this, I could easily convince them to believe my words.

My feet are still stiff to walk. Probably because a week of not walking. But, with the physical strengthening magic, I became easy to walk again.

With a sneak, I went to my study and took the seal of the Emperor I had kept. I also stamped the letter with the stamp.

Later, I'll go to the High Court to testify to what happened last week. The nobles and also the people must be waiting for an explanation. Before there were rumors and false remarks about the incident, I had to tell the truth first.

However, Jack also had to be silenced first. Did I just order Hendery for this?

No. gabe. I'm not sure if Hendery has the ability to kill secretly. I have to ask him this first.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Queen?” Chloe's. He seemed to have checked me in the room and found no presence. “You're in here?”

“Yes. I'm here,” my mouth.

Chloe came in. His face looks worried. I was treated like a fragile woman. I'm up to whenever I won't like it.

“What's up?” ask directly.

“Introduction to a message from the High Court informs you that you were invited by the Supreme Court to be a witness to the events of a week ago, Queen. If you are ready—”

“Yes, I'm ready. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow, I will go directly to the High Court,” I said without hesitation, after cutting Chloe's speech.
