“It is I who wonder at you Your Majesty, why would an outsider like you feel no shame to serve as emperor in Evariste? You should have known that your father was not from Evariste and your mother ran away and disappeared for more than 20 years,” Duchess Debora replied not to be outdone.
Scarlesia again grinned, she actually wanted to laugh at the woman sitting before her now. Then Scarlesia placed her right hand on her chin, she rubbed her chin using her hand.
“Duchess, you are so funny huh. Looks like you're talented at making people laugh, so you came here just to tell me this shit? What is your purpose? Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I am weak? In any case, my body was flowing Evariste's blood. I will be the emperor, no matter what happens,” press Scarlesia seriously highlighted the sharp Duchess Debora.
Duchess Deborah receded as she looked back at Scarlesia's eyes, she could feel the real pressure Scarlesia was exerting on her.
“Your Majesty, you should be self-aware of who you are. A girl who is not pure-blooded Evariste like you should not be an emperor. Princess Abigail has the pure blood of Evariste so she is more suitable to be emperor, then do you know? Many nobles do not support you to rise to the position of emperor. This way you should be aware,”
Duchess Debora tries to suppress Scarlesia, but whatever she says doesn't work out scares Scarlesia. Scarlesia was even more daring to look at him even to challenge him with a very sharp gaze.
“I don't care about nobles, I attach more importance to my position. I will ascend to the throne of the emperor and make Evariste an empire that is within my leadership. You think I can't stand it? Hmph! I'm perfectly capable of even commanding this whole world at once,”
Duars!
Scarlesia's statement was accompanied by a thunderous thunderbolt in the clear sky, the entire palace's inhabitants were shocked by the sound of the lightning. There was no wind, no rain, lightning struck without any other signs.
“Governs all over the world? What is this feeling? Why do I get goosebumps when he says that?” thought Duchess Debora.
“You are crazy huh Your Majesty? How can a man rule the whole world? You seem to be sleeping too much and dreaming,” cynical Duchess Debora.
“I'm not saying that without proof, I do have great power so grasping this world is not something impossible for me. You better control your uncontrollable feelings duchess. Get rid of your greedy look because as long as I am alive then there will be no one who can stop my steps,” stressed Scarlesia moved from her seat.
“Oh yes, if you have a desire to be emperor you should stop it now before you regret,” Scarlesia persemat then pass away leaving Duchess Debora alone.
“Damn it! What does the girl know? He's a big obstacle! I'll get rid of it when the hunt is done. Just look, I will watch her beautiful face torn to shreds later,” grumbled Duchess Debora in her heart.
Scarlesia was very satisfied to see the look on Duchess Deborah's face, she seemed very upset with Scarlesia but she could not fight any further.
“The eyes of greed, fortunately I heard a butterfly say that Duchess Debora plans to become emperor by using Abigail. How shameless he was, not a direct descendant of the emperor but dreaming of becoming an emperor. The only disease that cannot be cured by the power of the goddess in this world is ignorance, Scarlesia's inner”.
When Scarlesia intends to return to her room, at the intersection of the hallway she accidentally crosses paths with Duchess Freya who seems to have just finished seeing Edward.
“Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Scarlesia,” greet Duchess Freya.
“Duchess, have you just met Your Majesty?” ask Scarlesia.
“Yes, I just finished talking about some things with His Majesty the Emperor,” replied Duchess Freya raising her head that was originally bowed.
“So you have free time now? Can you talk to me for a minute? There are a few things I want to talk to you duchess,”
Scarlesia brought Duchess Freya into her tea room to speak in person, they were alone in this room because Scarlesia told her servants to wait outside.
“Duchess, do you know Duchess Debora well?” ask Scarlesia.
“I know her since my time as a girl Your Majesty, is there anything you want to know about Duchess Debora's problem?”
“Tell me all about her from what you know duchess, because there are some pretty awkward things about herself Duchess Debora,”
“Good, I'll tell you. Deborah is known as one of the nobles who are quite respected in Evariste because her family has been managing the largest mining in Evariste since generations. However, an incident occurred when your mother used to take office and she managed to uncover the plot of rebellion and corruption cases committed by the previous duchess, her mother Debora herself with her father,” explained Duchess Freya.
“Then what happens next?”
“Father and Mother were executed, some of the mines were taken over by the empire. Deborah was not executed because she was considered a child and did not have the ability to do the same as her parents. Deborah was silent for some time and never attended the company of nobles again,”, Duchess Freya explained.
Scarlesia mangut-mangut understood, she began to understand what was really behind Duchess Deborah acting arbitrarily.
“So no wonder if he has great greed,” Scarlesia murmured.
“What do you say Your Majesty?” ask Duchess Freya.
“Ahh no, thanks for the explanation duchess. I just want to know that,” Scarlesia said.
“Oh yes how are your hunting preparations tomorrow Your Majesty? Is there anything I should do for you?”
“No duchess, I've prepared everything. I will get the emperor's throne, take it easy,” Scarlesia said with confidence.
“Alright then, I'll resign first Your Majesty. Hope your hunting test tomorrow goes well,” said Duchess Freya all mendo’ Scarlesia.
Scarlesia sighed, to be honest she was tired of facing all kinds of people who were blocking her but still had to pass them all to get to the top of her leadership.
“Should I now rest for a moment?”
The next day was the day of the hunting test held in the cloud forest located on the edge of the Evariste Empire. Scarlesia was wearing a man's clothes so that it made her look so charming. Many people gathered to watch the hunt between Scarlesia and Abigail.
“Hey you ladies don't know yourself, I won't lose today,” ketus Abigail approached Scarlesia.
“You will lose today, I believe it is because you will never be able to defeat me,”
“How about I beat you? If that happens then you must hand these men over to me,”
