The Second Life's

LXVII - Saved Ava

The funeral of Queen XIX, aka Mother Idris went well. Queen XIX was buried next to King XIX in a special cemetery of Imperial members. I wonder where I was buried when I was put to death. At this cemetery, or it might just be thrown away like the carcass of livestock. I have absolutely no idea about it.

As expected, Idris, who did not cry when his father died, now shed tears and shouted in disbelief at his mother's death. I just kept quiet and stood beside him. Rose Hindley was also present, but she was standing opposite the tomb of Queen XIX. If I looked into his eyes, he would have glared at me. So, I decided to ignore the woman and focus on the funeral of Queen XIX.

“Queen? Can I talk to you for a minute?” Ah, that's Dad. He spoke to me after Queen XIX's funeral was over.

I smiled and nodded. We finally spoke at the Imperial Palace. In the family room. Jayden also came along, but he waited outside along with Hendery. I know that the dark magic of Consort Sienna still envelops the Imperial Palace. Therefore, I have to speak appropriately and as necessary.

“How are you doing?” ask Dad.

“I'm fine, Father.”

“Your body is thinner than the last time I saw you. You pushed yourself too hard, Charlotte,” Dad said.

“Dad know if I have to work hard as a Queen? I'm used to all this. Trust me,” I said calmly.

“How about the incident that happened to you recently?” Dad looked at me full of probes.

I scrunched my forehead. Did you know about the arrow? “What does Father mean?”

“You almost got hurt with an arrow, right?”

“How can Dad know?”

Of course you have spies. But, I did not feel the presence of anyone other than Hendery and Consort Sienna. Is Hendery one of Dad's spies? Ah, how could a child of the Marquess want to be a spy Father who is a Viscount.

“Dad heard the rumors,” replied Father.

“That's true, but the Emperor is investigating this. Daddy take it easy. Besides, I already have a personal knight. You know Marquess Franklin's youngest son, don't you? He was the same person who helped me when the incident happened,”. “Dad not to worry.”

“Although you say so, any parent would be worried if their child were to experience something like that, Charlotte,”.

I smile. “I won't make Dad worry anymore.”

“Tell me anything if you need anything. I'll help you as much as I can. Okay?”

“Good, Father.” Our conversation today, too, ended.

“My wife?”

I looked back and found that Idris was already in the doorway of my room. At the Queen's Palace. I just kept quiet, but he came straight for me. When his face was close to mine, I knew he was drunk. Smelled of wine from his mouth.

I flinched violently as she hugged me from behind without a cue. She tried to kiss me. I who was currently sitting at the dressing table, hurriedly stayed away from her.

What am I supposed to do? Calling Hendery? No, he was not in the palace, but in the house of the palace clerk who was behind the palace.

“You want to play with cats? Sweetness ...,” says Idris.

“Go, Idris. I don't want to joke with you,” I said firmly. “You're drunk.”

“I want to hug you. You know if I'm sad? I'm so sad because it looks like I'm going to lose everything ..., including you..” His tone sounded sad. Even so, I still don't care. He immediately fell to the floor when he finished saying that. A soft snore sounded from him. She's asleep.

I let out a breath.

“Agrevious. The people of Vanhoiren are very foolish if not the protests led by the Emperor like him.” Ava popped out of my bathroom. “If I was late, you would have been beheaded by your own husband.”

A beep?

“Dip*rkosa,” clear Ava.

“Good, it's new polite woman.” Ava puffed out her chest, looking proud of her own deeds. He checked Idris with his right foot. Ava kicked Idris on purpose several times. “She has really slept.”

“Without doing that, he did look unconscious,” I said happy. Yeah, I'm glad to see Idris being tortured indirectly like that.

Ava clucked in annoyance. “This palace is already clean of all sorts of dark magic. You can breathe a sigh of relief for a while, though I know that the dark wizard is starting to come after you.”

“Ya, right.”

“As long as you wear the pendant I gave you, you'll be safe for a while until I come to your aid. We must immediately take the main course!” exclaim Ava excited.

“Main dishes? You mean, facing that witch?” many quick.

“Iya. What else?” Ava ruffled waist. “What are you going to procrastinate on?”

“I don't have enough magic skills yet,” I said nervously.

“Hey, you want to insult me, huh? I'm Ava Bloodhart! The Great Witch! You act like you're underestimating my power.”

“Ah, sorry. Then why not just save Isla?” manya.

“You're so excited about it.”

That voice makes me happy. “Lucas?!”

“Hm, start again love slave kasmaran,” comments Ava.

“Grandmother cupu, lost to a youngster like us,” ledek Lucas.

“You want me to swear on the ugly? I am the blessed Goddess of Virtue!” yell Ava, emotion.

“Do not get angry. I'm just kidding, Grandma.”

“Don't call me grandma!” ava protest. “That's you, son s*alan!”

Looks like Ava turned off her communications crystal because Lucas didn't talk anymore. I smiled at the manner of the two of them. As Ava glared at me, I immediately put on a sinless flat face.

Exasperated, Ava kicked Idris three times in the stomach. Not getting there, Ava stepped on Idris' body without any hesitation. I heard Idris was complaining of pain, but still he didn't wake up.

Who told you to get drunk at the wrong time.

“Why do all the men around me always make a mess and test my patience?!” Ava let out her complaints. “I so want to blow up the entire Imperial Palace.”

“If you think like that, I disagree. You can kill innocent people.”

Ava laughs. “Example? Emperor's right hand this trash?” Ava kicked Idris in the stomach when she asked like that.

“Hm, as he.”

“Charlotte ..., you're so innocent. The right hand of the Emperor is the sister of the j*lang woman who became the Emperor's mistress,” said Ava.

“What?” I glared in shock. “So, Jack is the older brother of Rose Hindley?”

Ava just nodded, and I .. was shocked to death.
