I'M REINCARNATED AND I CAN'T BE HURT
FORTY SIX

The queen entered the room in high anger and destroyed various items around her. "It's because of that damn duke!"

"Queen, please don't say that loud. Here there's a duke's spy." The queen's favorite lady's advice.

"How can I just shut up? Didn't you just see Daniela coming out of nowhere and threatening me?"

"No, I'm sorry."

"How can you not see it? I saw clearly, while the duke did not tell me at all! He really wants to kill me!"

"Your Majesty, don't talk like that. All this time he supported you and gave everything."

"HE NEEDS ME BECAUSE HE WANTS HIS SON TO ASCEND THE THRONE!" the queen shouted and dropped herself on the floor and cried. "I tried so hard to reach this place, my son will become emperor that no one will insult me anymore, then why are so many blocking my dreams?"

"Your Majesty, please don't sit on the floor. The emperor will be angry."

"Well! When will the emperor be angry? She must still be afraid of the empress, I hate this situation."

The queen's favorite dayang ran out and then looked at the situation to the right and left. After making sure the situation was safe, he closed the door and whispered beside the queen.

"Your majesty, I heard that the empress is currently sick."

Queen's dumbfounded. "illness?"

"Are you not suspicious that every month the temple always comes to visit the empress?"

"Isn't it because they want to report to the empress?"

"No, he said as he passed through the empress' palace, they heard moans."

"Groans?" Ask the queen and then turn. "Is the queen cheating?"

"No, no. The Empress never brought another man. At first I also guessed so and told one person to be a spy. No one went in and out of the empress' palace, everything was heavily guarded by the emperor as well."

"The emperor's guard is there too? Didn't he say he didn't love the queen? Why even-"

"Said one of the emperors. The emperor had indeed deliberately placed people there to watch over the empress."

"Observing?"

"Well, after I investigated - most likely the moans were due to enduring the pain. That's the only reason that makes sense."

"Does the emperor know this?"

"I think the emperor knows."

"Then why didn't the emperor give me any information? Why just shut up? He should have talked to me." The queen was disappointed in the emperor.

"The emperor must have his own reasons for this. Therefore, you should be a little patient facing the empress."

"What about Ella's chastity test? I know the crown prince well, he must have touched him."

Dayang senior nodded in understanding. "You don't have to worry, I will try to find a loophole to save your son. For example, work with one of the temple priests or you can try to press the great priest."

"Pressing the high priest? Won't you get in trouble?" Ask queen.

"Queen, have you forgotten that I am also a noble? I have long been an imperial noble even though my noble standing is not very high. The temple definitely needs a big donation and a good relationship."

"You sure?"

"Very sure."

"Now you can calm down and not have to think about anything."

"That's it."

"Now try writing a letter to the high priest and press him about your position as queen."

The queen nodded enthusiastically. "Okay, I'll do it."

The queen's favorite dayang smiled when she saw the queen was cheerful again.

The queen rose with the help of a lady-in-waiting and began writing for the high priest.

It didn't take long, the queen's emissaries went to the temple and the letter reached the grand priest's hands.

The great priest stared coldly at the letter in his hand then threw it into the fireplace without opening it.

"Hey, why were they thrown there? They need answers and how do we answer?"

"Jawab alone the temple is not interested in any relationship."

"Remain the queen asked like that? He might ask something else or ask for help"

"Then why do you ask 'do the queen want to invite cooperation'?" Cut the high priest. "Everyone also knew who the queen was, she had no power behind other than the emperor and the duke of Vilvred. People who are blinded greedy, will judge the temple can not benefit them. The letter was most likely cornered because of a chastity test problem."

"Is it that heavy?"

"The queen did not have a good education regarding the imperial rules, the emperor also did not care as long as the queen could please him on the bed so the queen forgot one important fact regarding the bride to be holy while getting married in the temple, while members of the imperial family especially the heir to the throne are obliged to marry at the temple as an example to the people."

"Did duke Vilvred not tell the queen about this?"

"Possibly not, the young duke Vilvred was only concerned about anything other than duchy management. That was what made the previous duke agree with the woman from Aelthred in addition to the duke Aelthred's personal request."

The high priest Rohan laughed and then made a joke. "You understand this matter so well, was the high priest also a noble among them?"

The great priest did not answer and simply stared at the flames in the fireplace.

Ella knocked on the door of the room that the academy had reserved exclusively for her father.

"Lake in."

Ella could hear her father's heavy and stern voice from behind the door.

Ella walked into the room and looked at her father's back while he stood looking out the window.

"Dad."

Duke Vilvred took a long breath slowly then exhaled quickly.

Ella was nervous.

"Do you know anything about the test of chastity?"

"Yes, dad."

"Dad read your letter, you said Daniela started?"

"Yes, dad. Big brother who started first, he envied seeing the academy uniform I was wearing."

"Shut up." Duke Vilvred said in a cold tone. "Do you not understand the situation we are in?"

Ella fell silent.

"How can the boy know of your relationship with the crown prince?"

"He knew from the beginning that the crown prince didn't love him."

"What do you mean, Daniela knows where you've slept with the crown prince?"

Ella nodded slowly. "I don't know, dad."

"You don't know or you purposely showed it to him?" Press Duke Vilvred. "Do you know what you're trying to do now so that no one knows about your condition?"

Ella bit her lip.

"Dad was forced to pressure the queen to put pressure on Daniela, until now the father did not know how she was doing because the empress was suddenly angry, all communication was cut off."

"An angry queen? Why?"

"Didn't you just hear Dad's words about communication being cut off? If you know, you'll talk to you."

Ella doesn't know. Every angry father always speaks without finishing, causing questions, when asked, and even reply harshly without saying anything.

"Dad, I'm sorry for making you worry." Ella did not know what to do because of her careless mouth.
