The Goddess of Revenge
The Hot Central Empire

Bastein and Agon hurried to open the door, and they found that some of the maids had the same fate as the maids in Krystal's lap. Some of them are no longer alive, and some are in critical condition.

“This can't be tolerated anymore! Your Highness, are you aware of this matter?” ask Duke Salvatore to Fred.

‘Sial! I can't protect Arsen if this is the story, I have to hide the fact that I know about Arsen's actions, Fred's inner’.

Fred cleared his throat, he immediately corrected his expression, slowly stepping to the front door of the room containing the torture victim Arsen.

“What is this? I really can't believe at all Arsen did this fleeting thing,” Fred said, pretending to be shocked.

Krystal frowned seeing Fred pretending, when in fact from the beginning she learned of Arsen's bad habits. Krystal chose to be quiet because she had prepared a death scenario for each of them.

Detectives immediately investigated the matter, while Arsen will be locked in a dungeon as a suspect of murder, torture, and rape. Albertine's empire was stirred by the discovery of skeletons, corpses, and other victims at Arsen's palace. The people also demoed in front of the palace gate that the palace must give the toughest law for Arsen. They were unwilling to accept someone like Arsen as their leader later on, even the nobles were unable to overcome the anger of the people.

Other empires repeatedly sent letters to Fred, saying that the news had spread everywhere. Fred was asked to be more wise to his people, even though his own son did evil, still the law must be enforced. Thousands of insults and blasphemies were heard to the hearing of Fred, Isabelle, and Emilia. They denounced Arsen and their actions against Krystal. Now that Krystal received much support from the people, she was judged as a victim of injustice from the imperial family.

Isabelle and Emilia do not accept that Arsen will be severely punished, so they go to see the Pixies in the church. However, their arrival was denied because the Pixies along with the other priests would do some things, so they could not help both. Currently Isabelle and Emilia are in a dead end, to get out of the palace alone they have to disguise, if there are people who see their faces, then certainly both get blasphemy.

“Mother, what should we do now? No one wants to help sister,” said Emilia began to despair.

“We should talk about this with Marquess Sullivan, only she can help us.”

The two passed by leaving the church, and went straight to meet Marquess Sullivan at his residence. Marquess Sullivan was surprised by the arrival of the two of them, he then took Isabelle and Emilia to a safer place behind his mansion. The arrival of Isabelle and Emilia made Marquess Sullivan raise his vigilance because she was afraid of being suspected by others.

“Why did you meet me, Your Majesty? Do you not know how the current condition of the empire?” ask Marquess Sullivan.

Currently the empire was hot, Marquess Sullivan avoided contact which made the suspicions of the people grow. Moreover, the news about Marquess Sullivan who alleged that Arsen was framed by someone has spread to the community. Marquess Sullivan was also a conversation because of his unwise nature and seemed to be too clear of the Crown Prince and demeaning Krystal as a victim.

“There is no way to free Arsen from this problem? I don't want my son to get the death penalty,” Isabelle said.

“Since the beginning of the Crown Prince has been wrong, if he kills an ordinary woman then the problem will not creep up like now and we can still overcome. However, this concerns the death of the fiancee of Duke Salvatore's first son. You both know very well how Duke Salvatore is not? He is a nobleman who upholds justice and abstains from cheating,” said Marquess Sullivan.

“So, we're really in a dead end? Is it not enough to abdicate the throne? Arsen abdicated the Crown Prince's throne and Emilia would ascend to the throne as Crown Princess. Is there no such road?” ask Isabelle.

Honestly, Isabelle and Emilia were not aware of the matter at all, support began to arrive for Krystal one by one from the nobility and the wider community. Isabelle was furious and her face turned sour, she was not willing if Krystal replaced Arsen.

“Cannot! You know it too, Marquess about the greatest secret of this empire? Krystal cannot take the throne! Whatever the reason, never let the girl set foot on the Emperor's throne,”.

“I know that, Your Grace. Her mother is not an ordinary person, you both took over her powers. It could be that one day he becomes the biggest threat after learning the secret behind his mother's death. I also do not want the girl to ascend the throne, our lives will be lost if she knows about the real secret. However, for now there is nothing we can do but stay silent,” said Marquess Sullivan.

“How about we make it look like Arsen escaped from prison? After getting out of jail, create a scenario that Arsen died while on the run. Let's just say Arsen was eaten by a monster when he accidentally broke into a forbidden area. If the matter of pursuing knights, it can be tricked later, the important thing is to hide Arsen first to a safe place,” proposed Isabelle.

Marquess Sullivan thought for a moment, then nodded his head, “Oke, it looks like we can do that plan.”

Cherry and Bleas, who were still watching Isabelle and Emilia, overheard them from beginning to end. The two immediately went to report the matter to Krystal before Isabelle's plan was implemented.

At the same time, Krystal was sitting relaxing with her concubines except for Heros who still had not returned from the palace of hell. They joked while unwinding, especially Krystal since yesterday has not rested at all.

“Your Majesty, you are too good at acting. It could be that the fool believes all the nonsense that comes out of your mouth,” said Austin, they also chuckle at how people grieve over the suffering of Krystal so far.

“Truly I have not gotten used to their good attitude towards me,” Krystal replied.

“You don't know, do you? Krystal used to be the Queen of the Kingdom of Ezoria, no matter how many times she acted to deceive the nobility there. Have been repeatedly lied to, they still believe in the boast of Krystal.” Vicenzo recounts a handful of Krystal's past to all the concubines.

“Queen of the Kingdom of Ezoria? Isn't that the most famous kingdom in history? So, you used to be the leader, Your Majesty?” ask Lucio.

“Yes, that ancient kingdom I lead. About 4000 years ago I made the kingdom at the peak of its glory, but had to disappear from the map due to some problems,” replied Krystal.

In the midst of their conversation, Cherry and Bleas arrive carrying reports for Krystal.

“Your Majesty, is currently Isabelle, Emilia, and Marquess Sullivan making plans to get Arsen out of prison. They want to make a scenario of Arsen's death while escaping from prison and then hide Arsen to a safe place,” Bleas reported.

“They have no capoks. All right, I'll get Arsen to die before their plan is executed.”
