The Second Life's

LXXVII - Threatened Assassinated

Chloe came into my room and put on a shocked face. She was even more shocked when she saw my broken window. He came up to me with a tray of chocolate cake and jasmine tea again.

“What happened, Queen?! Are there criminals trying to harm the Queen?” Looks like Chloe's been having some kind of panic attack.

“My dear friend just threw a rock to attract attention. Remind me to cut his salary later,” I said kindly.

Chloe's already put the tray she brought to the table. He looked down and was surprised when he saw my feet. When I checked my feet, I realized I wasn't wearing sandals. Automatic, my leg was injured by broken glass.

After I realized my leg was injured, the pain instantly appeared. I grimaced and looked at Chloe, intending to ask Chloe to help me.

“Please do not pay Knight Franklin for this month. He has crossed the line,” Chloe said as she stood up. I smiled and nodded. “Please wait a minute, I brought you a medicine box. The Queen definitely doesn't want to involve the Imperial Physician, does she?”

I nodded again. “Surely the doctor was being kept busy by Miss Hindley. I don't want to disturb them.”

“Ratu ..., if I may speak ..” Chloe's words are a bit hanging.

“Ya?” I'm staring.

“No. Excuse me first, Queen,” Chloe said as she passed.

I might know what Chloe feels like. She might have felt a little strange about my indecisive behavior with Idris and Rose Hindley's affair. But, with Idris in front of my face, I'm just making my life unsettled. It's better this way. I don't want to until Idris comes to see me.

Especially if Idris knows Hendery's behavior is somewhat out of bounds. Could-may the poor boy will end up at the gallows—sama like I used to be. How ironic.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Queen, it's me. Matilda.”

“Come in,” I said to him.

“Sorry to have interfered, Queen. I brought a waiter to clean the broken glass window,” Matilda said.

I nodded in understanding and let the female servant brought by Matilda sweep away the broken glass. I sat quietly while enjoying my tea which was still warm. Matilda waited beside me while standing straight. His eyes were sharp, watching the servant.

Shortly after, Chloe comes in with a medicine box. He then asked for permission to hold my leg, I allowed it, and he began to treat the wound on my leg.

“Is the wound severe?” I asked Chloe.

“Uhm, yes. Please hold on a little, Queen. I want to clean your wound first,” Chloe said.

I'm nodding.

“Jasmine told me if the would-be Chief Maid of the palace had she chosen for the Queen see,” Matilda said.

“Good. Ask Jasmine to have them meet me tomorrow,” I said happily.

“Good, Queen.” Matilda turned to the waiter. “What's finished?”

The waiter nodded.

“Good,” says Matilda. My day was staring at me again. “Then, we excuse you, Queen. I'll take the handyman to fix the Queen's room window.”

“Good. Thank you,” I told him.

Matilda walked first to the door of my room, followed by the servant. I felt a bit strange as the waiter looked at me sharply. That is not a normal attitude for a servant. Moreover, my current position is that of a Queen.

“Soaring!” I yelled at Chloe. I purposely pushed Chloe away from me. Chloe could get hurt again.

The servant lunged at my body and intended to stab me with the kitchen knife. I managed to hold his hand. Chloe and Matilda instantly kept the waiter out of my reach. My breath was hunting and my eyes were gleaming with anger.

Who wants to hurt me again? Concubine Sienna? Hindley Rose? Wh who? Consort Sienna was on the run, and Rose Hindley was sick. Are they both behind this?

“Queen?!” The caretaker's frenzy lured Jasmine into my room. “A ... what is this?”

“Call Hendery and the soldiers, have them put the waiter in the dungeon,”.

“Ah, fine!” Jasmine still looked puzzled, but she immediately went to summon Hendery and the Queen's Palace warriors.

Chloe and Matilda are still holding the waiter. I glanced at the kitchen knife he was about to use to harm me had fallen to the floor. I deliberately kept the knife with my foot out of his reach. The waiter insisted on escaping.

I glared as he tried to bite his tongue. I grabbed my blanket. “Force him to open his mouth!” I yelled at Chloe and Matilda.

It was hard to open his mouth. I had to step in to help Matilda. Chloe was still busy holding the servant's hand. Finally, I managed to put my blanket in his mouth along with the entry of Hendery, Jasmine, and also two of my palace soldiers.

“You're a little late,” I said jokingly. My energy's drained all. Before I fell to the floor in limp, Hendery had already grabbed my body and laid me on the bed.

“Sorry, Queen. I'm a little late,” said Hendery.

I smile. “If you try to persuade me to keep giving you a salary, just give up. I'm still mad at you.”

Hendery immediately pouted. Geez, Hendery is so innocent and transparent right now.

“Please take him and lock him up to the dungeon. Don't do anything,” I said to Hendery and the two soldiers. “Prevent him to end his life.”

“Good,” says Hendery.

The three of them finally went to take the servant. Matilda and Chloe let out a sigh of relief. Holding down that waitress is indeed draining. Jasmine hurriedly approached me.

“How are you doing? Does the Queen feel that someone is sick?” ask Jasmine.

“I'm fine. Thanks for your attention. You and Matilda can get back to work. Let Chloe continue what she did earlier,” I said later.

Matilda picked up the kitchen knife lying on the floor and excused herself to come out with Jasmine. Chloe picked up the medicine box next to the sofa and came back to me.

In silence, he treated my legs again painstakingly. As for me, I was immersed in my own thoughts. In a dilemma that might affect my mind.

Tonight, I'll force the waiter to talk. I don't want it until something like this happens again. I will immediately check the background of all my servants and court workers, not least my three ladies.

“Do you know who that waitress is?” I asked Chloe.

“She Belka. The son of a farmer. That's all I know, Queen,” Chloe said.

“Farm?”

“Ya, Queen.”

Maybe this could be a hint for me when interrogating him later. I can't wait for that. I just hope, the mastermind behind it is the person I hate.

Or maybe not.
