Being Cruel Empress
27. Bad News

A middle-aged man was sitting while staring at someone in front of him. The person laughed, hearing the news that the Emperor of the Veloz Empire was under the influence of brainwashing. And that someone is Sebastian.

"Haha ... The father and son were both stupid. Plus the young man. Why are they so easily persuaded by promise?" sebastian mocked Baron Rosaro, Catharina and Erwan.

"Looks like your plan is going to go smoothly, sir. If that woman can get rid of the current Emperor, then you are the next Emperor" said Ergen, Sebastian's right-hand man.

"of course. He was just a snot child that even his woman sealed. My hard work will pay off, Ergen. After getting rid of my foolish nephew, I'm the one who will rise to the position of Emperor and exercise power." Sebastian laughed loosely.

From the beginning Ergen asked Sebastian to instigate Erwan. Because he knew Erwan was someone who was greedy and easily persuaded. Moreover, Erwan also has bad intentions, which is to take the position of Emperor from Winter. By being promised the position of emperor, Erwan instigated Ergen to kill Winter. Because it is not that easy to kill Winter, Ergen also gave some directions. Erwan turns out to ask for the help of Baron, who is his lover's father. That was why Catharina was able to enter the palace. Catharina's whereabouts could mess with Ellena.

For Erwan, teasing Ellena is tantamount to seeking death. Behind Ellena was the broad back of Grand Duke Laros, her father. Which no one dared to resist or oppose the person. The innocent and friendly Ellena was annoyed and played by Erwan through Catharina. Therefore, Ellena can be snared easily and removed in Ellena's first life. Moreover, Winter directly executed it, because of the influence of brainwashing.

Carlos arrived at the palace and immediately went to the palace of the peonny, where Ellena lived. He went to the servant to convey his arrival to Ellena. The waiter came out of a room and asked Carlos to come in.

"Your Majesty the empress is waiting for you, Lord Knight" said the maid.

Carlos rushed to meet Ellena in the reading room, "Greetings to the Imperial Moon, Her Majesty Empress Ellena De Veloz" Carlos said as he kneeled one leg.

"Bagunlah, Sir Wishtone. Have you been following my orders? Where is Janette?" ask Ellena.

Carlos took the pouch and gave Ellena the pouch. Carlos said, if it was an antidote that Erick had worked so hard to make. Carlos said that Janette is still living in the Grand Duke's residence, because the Grand Duke is not okay.

Ellena kegett. He looked at Carlos and asked what was going on? asked Carlos to explain in more detail. At Ellena's behest, Carlos tells her what happened. If Erick suddenly coughed up blood, then fainted after handing over the antidote potion. Carlos also conveys Erick's message, so that Ellena immediately gives the antidote to Winter.

Ellena was shocked, she was immediately saddened to hear the state of her father. Ellena was worried and wanted to make sure of her father.

"I understand, Sir. Please come back and rest" Ellena said.

"I'll excuse you, Your Majesty." Said Carlos slightly bowing and immediately left Ellena in the reading room.

Ellena looked at the pouch she was holding. It was a pocket for her that she gave Janette as a gift. Ellena put her hand in the pouch and took the contents. He took a bottle containing the antidote.

Without much waiting, Ellena asked the maid to take a look at the situation of the Emperor's palace. He can't see Winter if Winter's with Catharina. The waiter immediately went to follow Ellena's orders.

Ellena thought about her father's situation. He hopes his father is okay. He plans to visit his father's residence after making sure Winter drinks the antidote.

Not long after the waiter returned and brought word that Winter was in the study. Catharina was in her palace. Hearing that Ellena went straight to see Winter. He walked in a hurry.

"Ellena .. a. " said Winter who was instantly silent as she saw Ellena walking towards her at a rapid pace.

"Your Majesty, quickly drink this antidote potion. Don't delay time" Ellena said. Pellet a bottle of potion bids on the table in front of Winter.

Winter picks up and stares at the bottle Ellena gave him. He immediately opened the bottle cap and drank the potion in one drink. Ellena, who made sure Winter drank the potion, stared fixedly at Winter.

Winter looked at Ellena, "I've been drinking it. But why does my face look so bad?" ask Winter.

"Because I just heard bad news, Your Majesty. My father is lying sick at the moment. If according to Sir Wishtone, Father is so because he is too imposing. I don't know .. I'm not calm. Therefore, let me see him" Ellena explained.

Winter's shocked, "What? how did he suddenly fall ill? I'll keep you company, Ellena" Winter said.

"can't. If you leave, Catharina and Erwan will be suspicious. Didn't you already play someone who is under the influence of brainwashing? therefore, continue your role well and get as much evidence as possible. I'll go by myself." said Ellena.

Winter's speechless. What Ellena said was right. He has already taken on the role. Therefore, inevitably he had to act completely until the end of the story. Winter gave Ellena permission. He told Ellena not to rush back. He can overcome the palace while Ellena is not around.

Ellena smiled. She said Winter should not be afraid even if she drinks Catharina's tea. Because he drank the antidote. Ellena orders Winter to stay alert, putting her ears and eyes on the two dangerous men in the palace.

"If the state of the Grand Duke has improved, I will go home. Until then, let's send word to each other, Your Majesty" Ellena said.

"Yes, let's do that. You also have to take care of your health. I'm sure the Grand Duke will recover soon" Winter said.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Excuse me" said Ellena.

Ellena turned around and immediately left Winter's study. Ellena walked away towards her palace. On the way, in the middle hall, Ellena passed Catharina.

"Greetings Your Majesty the Empress," said Catharina.

"Hm .. I'm busy, so I don't have a reason to talk to you. Please continue your journey." replied Ellena and left immediately.

Catharina slightly bowed, as Ellena walked past her. She was upset by Ellena's cold attitude.

"What the fuck is that woman. I had greeted him nicely, but he was cold and ignored me. You fox lady! Look at it later, I'll have Winter tear your mouth apart. "inner Catharina.

Catharina and Bertha resumed their journey back to the Dandelion palace. Catharina is preparing to serve tea and snacks for Winter.
