Being Cruel Empress
3. Misguided

Ellena in her first life was a weak figure who easily faltered. He always tries to do his best to be seen, but is also easily oppressed. Ellena feels alienated, because Winter herself very rarely invites her to talk. Winter spends more time with Chatarina than she does. It makes him hurt, but he can't do anything.

Ellena shook her head as she recalled the sad events of her first life. Now he has repeated the time. Bad things, bad memories of him are completely gone. This time he was willing to behave as he pleased, without caring about the feelings of others.

"Stupid me. I care so much about how other people feel, but why don't they care about how I feel?" ellena looked in the mirror.

Janette helps Ellena wear a dress because Ellena has to attend a tea party hosted by Catharina.

"Your Majesty, do you have to go? isn't that woman outrageous? she's only been here a week, and she's having a tea party?" janette's grumbling is upset.

"Jane .. just ignore him. She was like that because she wanted to get the attention of others" Ellena said.

If in the first life Ellena who was also invited to a tea party was humiliated to be laughed at, then this time Ellena would laugh at the noble Madam who was siding with Catharina and Catharina herself. Ellena still clearly remembered, whatever happened during the tea party in her first life, she was truly underestimated and humiliated as an Imperial Empress.

The servant announces the arrival of Ellena who arrives at the Dandelion palace. All eyes were staring and whispering. Ellena walked into the room dressed in a luxurious red outfit, in stark contrast to the whites of her milk. Ellena looked graceful and beautiful in that dress.

"What's this about? why are the madams silent?" ask Ellena.

"Huh, you guys are quiet when you know Imperial Empress Veloz is standing here? look what I'm gonna do to all of you." Ellena.

"Didn't the Madam get a manners education? shouldn't you greet at least for formality? are you underestimating me who's an empress?" ellena said in a cold tone of voice.

The noble ladies present were instantly shocked to hear Ellena's words. They bowed and bowed slightly, greeting Ellena.

Ellena looked at all the guests of Catharina with a sharp gaze. He immediately sat down and crossed his legs while opening his fan.

"I heard lately that Marquis Wilham's family is going through a crisis, right? Is there anything I can do for you, Machioness Wilham?" asked Ellena smiling.

"Oh, there's Greg Marchioness. Is the delivery of medicinal ingredients to the south smooth? though I heard that there is a rife roaming bandits armed sharp." continued Ellena looked at someone else after the woman who was not far from him.

The faces of the two Marchionesses looked strange. They feel awkward and bow their heads. In the minds of each Marchioness, they were shocked because Ellena knew the state of their family when no other Madam's family knew.

"Hows it? are you going to continue ignoring me like my first life? Hoho .. There's a good thing I turned the clock around. Whereas at that time I used to just sit quietly listening to them chatting and comforting each other as if they were pointing at familiarity. Especially Catharina who immediately mediated them like an angel. Cih ... "the inner Ellena was upset whenever she saw Catharina's face that was sickening to her.

"Yes-Your Excellency .. are you in good health? Haven't I heard you're not well lately?" ask one of the ladies.

Ellena put her fan to her face, "Yes, that's how it is. I am not healthy. Even so, that doesn't mean I can't know anything about these imperial nobles. Did you forget who I was before becoming Empress? I am the daughter of Grand Duke Larozz" Ellena said.

Ellena glanced at Catharina who was just silent not talking not far from her. It was obvious that Catharina was very upset. All the Madam so mutually agreed to invite him to talk and was impressed to ignore Catharina.

"Ah, oh .. ti-it's okay, Your Majesty. Suddenly I just wasn't feeling well." Catharina replied in a weak-ass manner to seek attention.

Catharina's upset. He had to lie and act limp in front of the Madam. Though he invited the Mistresses to gossip with him, he deliberately invited Ellena, so that Ellena was humiliated and ignored. What happened was just the opposite. It is the humiliated.

"Damn! I didn't invite you to embarrass me. You sly fox. He must have deliberately wanted to make me look useless and helpless in front of the Madam. Just look, I'll embarrass you this time." Inner Chatarina.

Two servants came, each carrying a snack and tea. Dayang who was carrying tea looked at Catharina at a glance, then he deliberately slowed down and nudged Ellena, so he fell down and spilled tea. Ellena stood up, as her dress was wet with tea.

"Pardon me, Your Majesty. I didn't mean it" said the waiter bowing his head.

"Hihii .. must be very embarrassing, right? look at your beautiful, wet and dirty style." Catharina's mind is happy.

"I'm sorry my servant, Your Majesty. I just brought him from the village, so his attitude is still rude. I will rebuke him," Catharina said.

Catharina thought that Ellena would definitely forgive her servant. Remembering first there was also a waiter accidentally spilled a drink and just ignored. Catharina thought Ellena would definitely prefer to be seen as a kind and friendly Queen of evil and cruel empresses. Just because of a trivial matter, there was no way Ellena could punish the ladyboy.

"What's your name?" elena asked smilingly looking at the waiter who spilled tea onto her dress.

"Sa-I am Nana, Your Majesty." replied the waiter who was suddenly nervous as intimidated.

"Do you know. How much is this dress? The price could be up to two five years of your salary. It's just the cloth. Not including decoration and sewing services. How dare you dirty my new dress and just apologize?" said Ellena.

"W-what? i-i'm really sorry. I was wrong" said the waiter.

"Guards .. " cried Ellena calling for the bodyguards standing guard outside.

Ellena deliberately brought a bodyguard because she knew there would be an incident. In his first life, he experienced something similar. The difference was that she was silent and did not bother about anything, because she wanted to be seen as a kind Empress. Only with praise did he fail and forget that everything was Catharina's evil plan. Now, don't shut up. Ellena stirred up the Empire by severely punishing the servant.

Two guards came in. They say hello and ask what should they do?

"Take this lady out! Hit him fifty times and lock him up in a dungeon without eating and drinking three days." orders Ellena.

"Okay, Your Majesty." answered the two bodyguards simultaneously.

The guards dragged the waiter out of the tea room. The waiter roared for Catharina's help. Unwilling to be involved, Catharina also threw away a face. He ignored the screams for help from his servant.

Ellena smiled inwardly, "Look at you snake woman. You even threw away your servant whom you said was valuable. Where does your mother feel? you just want to find your own safety. Basic shameless." Inner Ellena.

Everyone is surprised. Ellena gave a no-go-lucky sentence. Ellena did that to warn everyone present at the tea party, if she was no longer Ellena who could be underestimated. She was the Prince of the Veloz Empire after the Emperor.
