The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 138 [Sorry!? You Think That's Enough!? ]
The party was forcibly completed. After the final dance passed, the Emperor immediately closed the party well. The frightened nobles did not refute and instead fled after that happened.
No wonder they are like that. Most nobles are shameless people who oppress the weak and lick the strong. Some did not, but still left quietly to respect the privacy of the empire.
Only 2 families remained there. That family was the Imperial Knight Family, Algera and the Imperial Witch Family, Demifa.
Duke Algera and his 3 children (2 sons 1 daughter) immediately maintained good security even though they were not on duty. It seemed like the family was indeed carrying swords everywhere.
So did Count Demifa and her 4 children (2 sons 2 daughters) who prepared with their magic for the worst possible. These two families actually do not get along very well because of the political situation. Their relationship was also made worse by the two daughters of the family. The daughter of the Demifa Family became the Queen Previously and the Princess of the Algera Family was the current Queen.
Yet they remained imperial nobles who had to cooperate in order to protect the empire.
Even though they know. If Ashlan intervened, the two families could be destroyed in an instant.
"Ayahanda, can we cause a war with the Vittacelar Kingdom?" hyveno Demifa asked his father.
(In Japanese, Hyveno calls his father "Sichiue" in contrast to Turquoise's son who calls himself "Otou-sama" )
Count Demifa glanced at his youngest son for a moment.
"I don't know. I hope the inside ends well."
As can be seen from Count Demifa's answer, the two families are currently protecting a discussion room filled with important people from outside. Inside the room were the Emperor, Empress, Crown Prince, Machioness, Nedura, Ruby, Ashlan and Aqua sitting in a circle at the round table.
Right Now In That Room
Aqua POV
I'm overreacting. If Master doesn't stop me, I don't know what will happen.
What's really going on with me? It's not like I can't control myself like that.
Earlier when he saw his scar...why...it feels like a Tiara being hurt like that?
I knew the three of them were indeed Tiara's reincarnations. But... This is a little different.This girl who is now. It felt like he was indeed the Tiara himself.
"I'm sorry for my emotional actions. I hope the Emperor's magnanimity can forgive me" I said insincerely.
"No, I understand why you act that way. If my fiancee had experienced the same thing without my knowledge, I would have done it, too" the Emperor replied as untrue.
I'm not stupid. It was possible that this cold-hearted Emperor would be angry for that reason. There must be other reasons such as not wanting his good name crossed out or something. Unless the one involved is my mom.
Now that I think about it, is this Emperor really slow? Although my left eye was covered in bangs and my hair was silver, but my face was my mother's jeep. He really has no suspicions? Well, it's in my favor.
Tense situation. No one else calls for an opinion. Everything they think is enough for me to read. No, maybe not all. I still don't know what the Empress thinks.
As I glanced at the master, he was just smilingly enjoying the situation. While Ruby beside me remained calm as if she had expected this to happen.
"Just go. What made my fiancee come this way?" many cold.
There is no need to give warmth and courtesy to a creature who can do this to children.
"What's? Not who?" inner Crown Prince.
The Emperor looked at me as if he had something to say. It seemed like he was hesitant to say the answer because the culprit was a person he knew. And I think I know who.
Seeing the expression of the Machioness and Nedura was so nervous and frightened.
"I'm sure we all know who did it. But everyone is waiting for the perpetrator to show himself? Funny thing."
The master suddenly said that to see the reaction of the Machioness and Nedura.
A Master document took it out of nowhere, probably from some kind of inventory of mine.
"Don't take too long. There's still a lot of work to do in the magic tower."
"Read this! Its source was from a direct Information Guild. So it's trustworthy," he continued.
The copy of the document has been spread out to everyone at the table. The informational guild.You guys should have given this information to me first.
I read it carefully. The contents of the document really make no sense. My feeling that started to calm down instantly rippled again.
"What the fuck?! Is this true!?" my words are very angry.
All the things in this document are what happened to Ruby since her father left the war. All the torments were neatly written without missing any small details. How could a girl who was not even an adult seem to have to experience all this!?
This isn't even a Cinderella story!!!
Normal POV
Aqua tried to hold him back as much as possible so that his killing aura would not come out. But with just a slight leak, the Machioness and Nedura were already very creeped out in fear. The Emperor and the Crown Prince looked at the two of them in disbelief.
The emperor massaged his shriveled forehead.
"Huhhhh!! Is this all true Estifa!!?"
It seemed that the Emperor was also very angry when he read it. The Machioness gasped with a frightened face as if asking for help.
"Sister!! Someone is slandering me!! Do you think I can do something like this!?" stir Machioness.
It's stupid how he dodges. His actions were akin to doubting the information of an Information Guild whose incident was the center of all information in the world.
The Emperor's face always looked calm, but this time he was truly wrathful.
"AGAIN I ASK! ARE YOU REALLY DOING THIS!!?"
"!!!"
The Machioness and the Emperor were quite close. Because he was the Emperor's only surviving sibling when the Emperor slaughtered all his brothers first. Let alone hurting him, the Emperor alone never snapped at him. But now?
Although somewhat doubtful, the already cornered Machioness nodded slowly. He hoped that with himself confessing and apologizing, the Emperor would protect him as usual. The same cornered Nedura followed her mother and continued to apologize.
The Crown Prince who saw the behavior of his fiancee who crossed the line did not bully the girl even though he was desperate.
The emperor did not falter. He knew his brother's actions could lead to war. Now the most he had to do was to appease Prince Vittacelar.
"Please forgive my sister's actions. I'll do everything I can to punish him."
Prince Aquamarine just saw it cold.
"I'm sorry? After all the torture they gave my fiancee, you said sorry?"
"Do you think it can bring things back to the way they were?" aqua asked full of killing intent.
"Do you know how much I'm holding back from blowing up this place right now!?"

Meanwhile, Ashlan and the Empress
"Our spectacle is starting to enter klim*ks! Got snacks?" ask Ashlan excitedly.
"Ahh, I should have brought pop c*rn! Shit, if you knew it would be this interesting!" lamented Empress.
