The Second Life's

LXXXIX - Secret Pendants

Did I not hear wrong?

Rose Hindley pregnant? Haha. This is just exciting. Of course sooner or later Rose Hindley will conceive a child. The son of his dark relationship with Idris. What a shame the fate of the boy.

“Are you serious about what you said just now?” Jasmine did not seem to believe Matilda's words. But, in one look, I just immediately believed. Because Matilda couldn't be mistaken. “If Queen hears of this—”

“Queen should not know,” cut Matilda. “The Queen's mind will definitely be instantly distracted by this and fall ill. We must keep this news to be heard by the Queen as late as possible. At least ..., until the Queen recovers and can work again.”

Be late. I already know about it from you. But thank goodness I knew earlier than a little late. I can do something to Rose Hindley and Idris later. Let's see it later.

“Good. We must not take our eyes off the Queen,” Jasmine said.

“What's gathered here?” Oh, that's Maya.

“Only regular chat,” replied Matilda. “Is in your hand a letter to the Queen?”

“Yes. I intend to put it on the Queen's desk,” Maya replied.

“Oh, okay. You can go.”

“We'd better get back to work,” said Chloe. That ended their conversation at that time.

***

Evening day came. When everyone was asleep and Jasmine left my room after making sure I was asleep, I got out of my room and went into my office.

There, I read some of the letters Maya had brought in this afternoon. Some of them were tea invitation, and lastly was the dinner invitation by Idris in the Imperial Palace. Probably as a celebration of Rose Hindley's pregnancy. I don't know, and I don't care.

Now, those letters are already perched sweetly in the trash. I have no intention of going anywhere.

“Congratulations, yes. You'll be a stepmom in a minute.” Ava comes up with her familiar innuendo. “Do I have to give you a hand too?”

“Stop teasing me. Why did you just show up?”

Ava chuckles. “You are sick. Where can I bother you.”

Oh, it turns out Ava has a conscience, too.

“I looked at Isaac's situation. And he said he was ready to bury Isla. Most likely, I will take care of it tomorrow. You coming?”

I'm nodding. “Yes. Of course I have to come and see Isla's face for the last time.”

“Good.” Ava smiled sincerely. Hm, he rarely showed such a smile. “Second of Sienna has returned to her body.”

“It seems we can't buy any more time. There have been many casualties produced by Consort Sienna,”, I said frustrated.

“Wait until Isla is buried. Only then do we stop him before he gets stronger,” Ava said. “Sleep, it's late at night. Later your condition can drop again.”

“Ya.”

Ava's gone. But I didn't move out of my work space. I opened the right drawer of my desk and took Ava's gift pendant. On a whim, I took a clearer look at the pendant and accidentally opened the back of it. There was a small piece of paper tucked inside the pendant.

Well, I got goosebumps.

Desse, deesse

Ouvrez la voie de la verite

Donnez - moi une vraie force

Allumez le feu sacre pour toujours

Je crois que le mal

A very bright golden light suddenly appeared from the pendant I was holding. Even so, my eyes were completely unperturbed by the light as it was not dazzling.

I don't know what Ava was trying to do, and the purpose was to put the paper down. I'm sure Ava did it on purpose so I could find her one day. Did the power from Mother's magic wand transferred to this locket open the seal?

Ava's? Nope. The goddess?!

At the moment, our hands touch each other. Something warm filled my whole body. From the tip of my hair to the end of my feet. I .., feel like I can do anything. A silhouette I never imagined, appeared inside my brain.

The goddess brought me to memory where I was a child. I can't remember.

I saw myself sitting down with Idris. In front of us was my mother and Father.

“Queen does not allow Charlotte to be the spouse of the Crown Prince, Your Majesty,” My mother said.

Ayahanda nodded in understanding. “It can be taken care of. Most importantly, Idris likes Charlotte. What else should we question?”

“But ..., I don't want Charlotte to suffer from not being liked by her own in-laws,” said My mother. “Sorry, surely my remarks offended His Majesty.”

“Uhm, no. You're right, Eva. We should also pay attention to Charlotte's happiness. As long as you protect the members of the Empire with your magic, I will also pay attention to Charlotte like my own son,”.

Is it her kindness just because my mother protected them?

My mother put on a grim face. “Good, Your Highness.”

Goddess, why am I being shown this?

The goddess was silent beside me. Maybe I'll find something that will help me in the future. I decided to continue to observe the memories I was seeing right now.

Are you sure this is your own lost memory?

Ah, my mind began to think of nonsensical things. I ignored the question that came up in my brain.

“Can your magic not be shared with others?” ask Ayahanda.

“Sorry, Your Grace. That's impossible,” said my mother in a calm tone. I feel like Mom lied. But, why did Father ask such a thing? Do they intend to take Mother's magic?

Ayahanda laughing. The forced laughter. “Do not calm down so. I was just kidding.”

“Wah, what are you talking about?”

The deg!

I saw a familiar figure in my brain. Concubine Sienna. I don't remember if Consort Sienna roamed the Imperial Palace often. The aura of Consort Sienna was not as close as it was now. He was like a normal person in my memory.

“Sienna. Why are you here?” ask Ayahanda.

“Of course want to meet Miss Eva. I have no business whatsoever with the Emperor,” replied Consort Sienna, ketus.

Mom smiled.

Oh, my God, are they good friends?!

“There can I help?” ask Mom.

“Yes. You promised to teach me some things that can improve mana. Comeing! Don't tell me you've forgotten?” Concubine Sienna held my mother's right arm like Rose Hindley did to me.

The fruit does not fall far from the tree.

“Ah, fine. Wait a minute, Concubine Sienna. I want to get Charlotte to the horse carriage. He should be home early.”

“Cannot! Charlotte should have dinner here!” exciting Idris. Err, her annoying behavior was ingrained early on.

“Let him here till dinner. Go with Concubine Sienna, Idris will look after Charlotte,”.

My mother finally nodded. “Please help.” After saying that, Consort Sienna directly dragged my mother away.

I have a bad feeling about it.
