“Sorry Miss Eginhardt, you will be taken to the palace and you will be detained for a while because you were convicted of attempted murder to Her Majesty the Empress,” said one of the court officials.
“Oh yes? Do you have any proof?”
“We found a bottle of poison in your closet that allegedly this is the same poison as the poison that almost killed the empress,” explained the man.
Scarlesia's forehead was twitching, she had no idea what poison they were talking about. Even all this time he had never used a brown bottle when making poison or concocting herbs because all this time he must have used a clear colored bottle.
“It looks like Nieva is trying to frame me now,” thought Scarlesia.
“It wasn't mine, I never tried to poison the empress,” Scarlesia defended herself.
“Do not have many reasons Miss! Now please come with us to the palace facing the emperor,”
Scarlesia's two hands were dragged and about to be taken away by them to the imperial palace.
“DON'T TOUCH ME! I CAN WALK BY MYSELF!” scarlesia snapped at the hands of those who touched her.
When Scarlesia came out of her room, she was approached by Archie, Xeon, Andreas, Zenon, Oliver, Louis, and Elios. Erin and Hana then Eldrick, Carlen, and Aldert.
“Where are you taking my son?” hadang Eldrick's.
“Sorry Your Highness the Duke, we must bring Miss to the palace immediately because she was shown to poison the empress and cause the empress to miscarry,”
They looked like they wanted to go berserk but Scarlesia could still laugh in such a tense moment as now. He is not afraid of being taken to the palace and is accused of being the mastermind behind Nieva's assassination attempt. Scarlesia responded with a joyful and relaxed, there was nothing she needed to worry about because she believed that she could handle it as soon as possible.
“Do not do anything, I'm fine. You guys don't worry too much, please watch the course of my side in the palace,” Scarlesia said passed away going to the palace.
They followed Scarlesia to the palace, where the entire nobility had gathered. Their gazes at Scarlesia were not friendly at all, on the throne the emperor was already waiting for him. Scarlesia was escorted by several knights as well as top-tier imperial mages because they knew how great Scarlesia's power was.
“Basic killer!”
“How can a girl as beautiful as this be a killer? I heard the empress is still lying weakly on her bed because the poison she swallowed almost threatened her life,”
“It is a pity that the empress has a half-brother like her, is it possible that the empress was also mistreated by her while staying at the residence of Duke Eginhardt?”
“I don't know either, but more dearly the empress lost her fetus, whereas the empress and emperor had just married but had been put to such an exam,”
“What will happen to him? If he's not put to death, that's outrageous anyway,”
The entire nobility spoke ill of Scarlesia, Zenon was very upset to hear it and almost unleashed his power to attack them but he was held back by Xeon.
“Do not Zenon! You can't act rashly here. Trust everyone to Sia because soon there will be a surprise for them,” intercept Xeon.
“Surprise? What do you mean?”
“Maybe you will also be surprised when you find out. I can't say it right now but for sure you guys don't act recklessly because a big secret will be exposed,”
They did not understand what Xeon was talking about, right now they were just following what Xeon said and choosing to be quiet even though it felt like they could not stand by to see Scarlesia who was being escorted by many people. The Emperor looked at Scarlesia with a triumphant gaze as if he were saying that Scarlesia had made it into his grasp. Scarlesia turned to look at the emperor with a sharp and calm eye, this made the emperor a little irritated and annoyed as Scarlesia seemed to hint that she did not need any help from the emperor.
“Looks like you are very relaxed Miss Eginhardt,” said the emperor.
Scarlesia smiled her smile, she tried to smile as naturally as possible.
Suddenly the throne room was again crowded and excited because of the confession of innocence directly from Scarlesia's mouth. The Emperor looked furious and riled up, his expression unable to be lied to anymore.
“Not wrong he said? It's clear he poisoned the empress,”
“Looks like he's crazy,”
Scarlesia spontaneously turned her head towards the noble who had not stopped talking bad things about her since.
“Do you want me to cut your tongue and I plug your eyes?” scarlesia's grit pressed them.
They shuddered in horror and fear because of Scarlesia's threat, they inched back a little to make it easier to talk about Scarlesia.
“Not wrong you said? IT'S CLEAR THAT THE POISON BOTTLE WAS FOUND IN YOUR CLOSET. WANT TO AVOID HOW ELSE ARE YOU?” shouted emperor.
“Pfftt hahaha,” kekeh Scarlesia. People are getting confused because of Scarlesia's very random behavior.
“What are you laughing at?” asked the emperor.
“You guys are so funny know no? You keep saying I'm the killer, this is it, that's it but you ever think you're not being used by the empress? No wonder why the people of this empire are stupid because the emperor is also equally stupid. Ahh you guys really comfort me hahaha,” chuckle Scarlesia once again.
“LANCANG! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ILL OF US AND THE EMPEROR,” said one of the nobles.
“Then prove that you are not stupid, judge this case you are not. Mending just dethroned your noble status because it is very embarrassing,” circus Scarlesia.
“A-WHAT? YOU...”
“ENOUGH!” the Emperor stopped them from continuing the useless debate.
The emperor came down from his throne, he approached Scarlesia and whispered in her ear.
“I will help you out of this case as long as you want to be my concubine,” whispered the emperor.
“You are not sane huh Your Majesty? I might want to be a concubine. My price is more than concubine,” decak Scarlesia refused.
“Then what about the empress? I'll give you the position of empress,”
“You should just give your emperor's crown to me Your Majesty, I want to be emperor and not empress let alone concubine,”
“LACK! HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU WANT TO BE EMPEROR!” the emperor shouted furiously.
“If this empire were ruled by you, there would be an increasing population of fools in this world. This sickness of ignorance cannot be cured even with my healing power. If indeed you feel worthy to be emperor, please now search the empress' room to make it clearer who is wrong in this case,” Scarlesia said sharply.
“PASS THE DEATH PENALTY TO THIS UNKNOWING GIRL ON CHARGES OF ATTEMPTED MURDER OF THE EMPRESS AND ATTEMPTED REBELLION!” the emperor gave orders to his subordinates to immediately capture Scarlesia.
“STOP!”
A few familiar people had their faces popped out from the entrance of the throne room and stopped the edict from the emperor, everyone was stunned at the instant of seeing who was coming.
“A-you? Why are you here? This was the business of the Roosevelt Empire. Outsiders like you have no right to interfere,” said the emperor.
“Badly once you guys. LISTEN OUT! I'M HERE TO PICK UP THE CROWN PRINCESS OF THE EVARISTE EMPIRE, SCARLESIA EGINHARDT! Aahh should I now call it ‘Scarlesia Evariste’?”
