Finally came the day Scarlesia would leave for the Evariste Empire, Eldrick and Carlen and Aldert also joined because the previous emperor aka his mother Anabela wanted to meet them. They set out using the magic portal that was heading towards the border of the Evariste area, from this border it was they were picked up by a horse carriage from the imperial palace.
All the people of the Evariste Empire were excited to wait for this day, they were curious about the figure of Scarlesia who was their next leader.
“I'm curious about the crown princess,”
“Say she is very beautiful like a goddess,”
“I heard he was also very strong, when the war against monsters he was the person who was the most instrumental in bringing victory to the entire empire,”
“Not only that, he brought some handsome and strong men with him. Is not his life too perfect? Aahh I'm so much more eager to meet him,”
“I too, besides that he is also very friendly to ordinary people and looks equally at all nobles and ordinary people,”
Positive views on Scarlesia were widespread among the entire imperial populace. None of them spoke ill of their future leaders. They welcomed and looked forward to the arrival of Scarlesia since the beginning of the announcement regarding the crown princess who was the son of the 57th emperor Evariste.
Now along the road to the palace, the whole people marched on the side of the road welcoming Scarlesia.
“Wah they are very enthusiastic,” Scarlesia said.
“Yes, they are looking forward to you. Now open the window and then wave to them,” said Edward.
Scarlesia complied, she opened the window of the carriage then waved her hands at the imperial people with a friendly smile.
“I-it's him!”
“KYAAAA YOUR MAJESTY! YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL,”
“YOUR MAJESTY PLEASE WAVE YOUR HAND AT US,”
“YANG MULIA, PLEASE VISIT US AFTER THIS,”
Scarlesia felt strange because she thought the attitude of the people of the Evariste Empire was inversely proportional to the Roosevelt Empire so she was not used to enjoying this scene. They welcomed Scarlesia sincerely without anyone pretending that even a child was eagerly waiting for Scarlesia to come.
“They why look so happy?”
“Of course, this is the first time since more than 20 years ago they saw a female emperor will reign again,” Edward replied.
“Hmm it turns out so yes but I'm not used to this kind of atmosphere,”
“Nothing, later will get used to it yourself,”
Upon arrival in front of the imperial palace, the palace's occupants all came out to welcome Scarlesia's arrival. No one was missed, and there was Jimmy with his father, Victor Evariste.
“KAKAK!” Jimmy reflexes splashed into Scarlesia's arms, next to him was Archie who was jealous to see a boy other than himself calling Scarlesia ‘kakakak’.
“Hey who are you? Release him! This is my brother not your brother,” cynical Archie.
“No! Sia is my sister,” staunch Jimmy.
“Huh? You little boy. Don't ever try to snatch my brother away from me,” press Archie.
“I don't care. Wleee,” ledek Jimmy.
“Stop you two! Don't fight anymore,” scolds Scarlesia making them silent for a moment.
Then Victor pulled Jimmy in his arms.
“Do not behave like that to Her Majesty, she is the crown princess. Take care of your attitude,” Victor said scolding Jimmy.
“Nothing, no need to scold him. Jimmy can call ‘kakak’ as usual,” Scarlesia said.
Jimmy, who was initially scowled because he was scolded, now he returned to the scene while Archie still felt jealous.
“Cih basic boy,” decak Archie annoyed.
Then Edward invites Scarlesia to enter the palace, first Edward invites Scarlesia, Eldrick, and Aldert to meet the previous emperor who lay sick. When Scarlesia set foot in a room, she was surprised to see what the previous emperor meant was an old woman who some time ago he met at the palace and called her ‘Anabela’.
“He is Qirani Evariste. The 56th Emperor who served before Anabela, she was your grandmother,” said Edward introduced the woman named Qirani.
After that Edward tried to wake Qirani up to open his eyes to see Scarlesia.
Qirani opened his eyes slowly, finding Eldrick Carlen, Aldert, and Scarlesia before his eyes.
“B-bela...” flow.
“Mother, she is not Bela but her son Bela. Look at their mother three is Mother's grandson,”
Qirani could not open his eyes completely, his body trembled, and his vision was blurred as well. Scarlesia could sense that Qirani was indeed on the verge of a bad body condition.
“Your Majesty, can I check his body first? You must know I have healing powers. Please allow me to check it,” Scarlesia voice open offers herself to check Qirani's body.
“Alright, then please help,”
Scarlesia sat on the left side of the bed, she touched Qirani's hand. Scarlesia's facial features look not good at all, Qirani's blood flow and heart rate sound abnormal.
“Your Highness, does grandma have a serious illness?” ask Scarlesia.
“Mommy used to complain of headaches, then I called the best doctor in the Evariste Empire and she said that Mother has a disease that is difficult to cure. So, since then Mother has gotten worse,” explained Edward.
“Can you show me the medicine normally consumed by grandma?”
Without lingering, Edward told a servant to give his medicine to Scarlesia.
“Not wrong anymore, this is a poison and not an ordinary pill,” thought Scarlesia.
“Sia, is something wrong?” ask Carlen.
“Yes, something's wrong here. Please call the doctor who used to treat grandma,” Scarlesia pinta.
“Alright, please call Doctor Efrem here,” Edward's orders to his servant.
“Good Your Majesty,”
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man came to face Edward with an innocent face.
“Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor,” he said in greeting.
“Ehemm,” dehem Scarlesia. “Did you give this medicine to His Majesty?” search Scarlesia.
“True, it was me who gave it. Is something wrong?” haughty answer.
“LACK! YOU INTEND TO KILL YOUR MAJESTY? WHAT IS THE BEST DOCTOR? RUBBISH!” scarlesia snapped the medicine into Efrem's face.
“Is something wrong? I only treat the illness suffered by His Majesty,” his pretext.
“You think I'm stupid? This medicine you've mixed with poison can aggravate Your Majesty's illness. Actually His Majesty did not suffer from any disease but because he consumed this poison in not a long time so as to make his body weaken, his memory and vision were also reduced, his heart rate was abnormal, so he could not get any more, if any longer His Majesty consumed his poison then he would lose his memory as well as hasten the time of his death,”
Scarlesia's statement made her flinch in shock, not only Efrem the doctor but Edward, Eldrick, Carlen, Aldert, as well as several servants.
“R-poison? S-I couldn't possibly do that,” once again he dodged and sought a defense.
“Sia, is that true?” ask Edward to make sure.
“True Your Majesty, I will never lie about other people's health problems,”
Edward rises in blood, furious after learning from Scarlesia that her mother was poisoned by a trusted doctor.
“I beg your mercy Your Majesty! I admit I am wrong, please forgive me. S-me...”.
“KSATRIA GUARD! TAKE DOCTOR EFREM TO THE DETENTION CELL RIGHT NOW!” edward's orders.
“T-no Your Majesty! Your Majesty please forgive me,”
Efrem was dragged out by the guard knights, Edward looked dizzy from a problem he had never known.
“Just calm Your Highness, I will cure grandma soon,”
Scarlesia immediately sat back on the side of Qirani's bed, she expended her healing power to remove all the poison that was eating away at her body, it didn't take long for Qirani to finally start showing signs of being conscious. The poison in his body slowly disappeared and his pale body started to redden.
“Uuhh... Edward..”.
