The Second Life's

XCVI - Queen's Coup (I)

My eyes ache.

I pushed myself too hard to read Ava's book without any breaks. The contents of his book are filled with teachings on various magic, both ordinary and difficult. While reading it, I slightly practiced some ordinary magic to add experience in mana control.

For example, invisibility magic is predicted by Ava as the most useful magic to get daily gossip. Despite looking indifferent, Ava actually really likes gossip and conspiracy theories.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

My invisibility magic is still active, I can see Jasmine bringing me jasmine tea for me the fifth time tonight. I let Jasmine in, and she smiled at me before finally putting the jasmine tea on the table.

“Are you still going to stay here, Queen?” ask Jasmine.

“After finishing this tea I will be back to my room soon. You can rest now,” I replied calmly.

“Good, Queen. Is there anything else you want?” ask Jasmine again.

“No more, thank you. You can go.”

Jasmine looked down. “Then, I excuse you.” He left me alone in my office.

I leaned back for a moment on the back of my chair, staring at some of the things that had happened. Very fucked. Maybe I need a little pause, but I also know it can't. To achieve a goal, something must be sacrificed, for example, time.

Ah, what am I thinking?

There is no time to rest. I have to finish Ava's book before our plan starts. I almost finished Ava's first book. Therefore, I must not give up until here alone.

***

In the final hours of the time Ava requested, I managed to read the entire contents of the four books of Ava. I hope I remember everything in my head. Soon the sun will begin its work here, but I have not closed my eyes from last night.

Ava's magic to stay awake helped me a lot in moments I didn't expect. Where it takes a little, I can control it well. My eyes remained fresh until this moment.

“Are you done reading everything?” asked Ava, who surprised me by emerging from the secret room all of a sudden.

“Ah, yes. I've finished reading all his books.”

Ava smiled and snapped her fingers. The four books I put on the table disappeared miraculously. “Later noon, you go to the Imperial Palace. I myself will be fishing for Sienna in the Silver Palace. Make sure you do what I asked you to do at that time.”

“Are we going to get started now?”

“Faster is better. Avnevous cannot leave his King without an Empress any longer,” Ava said.

True, the absence of the Empress on Lucas' side certainly makes many people feel awkward. Moreover, I have been known by Father and Mother Lucas. The Harrison family will certainly start questioning me, too, considering Duke Harrison's daughter was infatuated with Lucas.

Just remembering it has made my chest tight. There was a spark of anger in my heart, because that woman almost hurt me.

“Good, I will go to the Queen's Palace soon and wait for your arrival there,” I said to Ava.

With Ava gone, I chose to go back to my room and sit for a while on the sofa while closing my eyes for a moment. At least I'll rest for a few minutes.

I woke up when I heard the door open. That's Chloe, coming in with warm jasmine tea for me. He was surprised to see me sitting on the sofa. He hurriedly lowered his head, then walked up to me to put the jasmine tea on the table.

“Does the Queen wake up earlier than usual?” ask Chloe.

“Yes, I woke up early. Thank you for the tea,” I said as I reached for the cup containing jasmine tea that Chloe brought just now. I took a sip and felt relaxed by the smell of her melody.

“Is there a menu that the Queen wants to eat at breakfast for a while?”

I thought for a moment and shook my head. “No need, just make it as your recommendation. Ah, and don't forget to call Knight Franklin to face me now.”

“Good, Queen. I'll call you right away. Then, I'm sorry.” Chloe looked down respectfully, then walked out of my room.

Shortly after Chloe left, Hendery faced me. He looked down and smiled at me. I put down the tea cup I was holding and sighed. Either he can work well with me or not. For a moment, I doubted it.

“Today, my plan will begin.” I discussed it in a slow tone. “There will be a bit of chaos in the Silver Palace and the Imperial Palace. I hope you can handle your part well later.”

“Queen means, about the overthrow of the Emperor?” ask Hendery, looking surprised.

“Ya.” There is no doubt in my words. “All you have to do is stay close to me and be ready to attack anyone who comes near me. You understand?”

Hendery nodded. “Who will invade the Empire? Does the Queen have a secret army?”

“Of course not. I don't have an army or anything that's on your mind.” I smile. Hendery was too far-sighted about this. “We are only three.”

“What?!” Hendery glared in shock. Not believing in my words about overthrowing the Emperor with just three people. “Ratu ..., did I not hear wrong with the Queen's words just now?!”

“No. Take it easy, your sense of hearing is still functioning normally,” I said indifferently. “We are only three. But, that does not mean I am rash or do not have a mature plan.”

“But, Queen. Three people against almost hundreds of Imperial troops guarding the Imperial Palace is impossible,”.

Hendery is so funny.

“Of course it would be impossible if those three people were just ordinary people. But one of us is a blessed Great Witch. Then, even though I am a novice magician, fighting ordinary people I can still handle myself,”. “And you are one of Vanhoiren's talented knights, it will definitely be easy for you to fight dozens of armed men, won't you?”

Hendery looks frustrated. “Is that Great Witch the little girl who beat me up the other day?”

“Hoo, you're instantly aware, yes.” I'm nodding. “True, she's not just an ordinary witch. But, she was indeed a Great Witch. He could annihilate the palace in an instant if he wanted to. So, you don't have to worry about the lack of members or the strength to fight.”

“Ah, okay. If the Queen says like that, I will not worry anymore.”

“Indeed it should be.” I drank some more of my jasmine tea to make my mood calm again.
