The Goddess of Revenge
Aura of Sadness

Krystal goes with Shion and Duke Salvatore on a horse-drawn carriage, Krystal trying to look very ordinary, but her beauty can still be recognized by others. Krystal was forced to wear a robe to cover her face. Meanwhile, Shion sat beside Krystal with a cloth covering Shion's entire vision.

“Sorry before, may I ask? Who is this guy with you?” ask Duke Salvatore.

“Oh him?” Krystal clasped Shion's hand, “His name is Shion, my fifth concubine,” replied Krystal.

Duke Salvatore gawks as soon as Krystal introduces Shion, he doesn't know Krystal has more than four concubines.

“Actually, you have how many concubines, Your Majesty? Sorry if my question seems presumptuous because the Emperor never discussed this,” asked Duke Salvatore once again with great courtesy and caution.

“I have seven concubines, I do not report to the palace how many concubines I have. So, it is only natural that the Emperor does not know about it,” replied Krystal.

“I heard, the second son of Grand Duke Marvelo is also part of your harem, is that true? Because I heard Grand Duke Marvelo is coming home from the south to confirm this news.”

Krystal was stunned, based on the memories of the owner of the body, Grand Duke Marvelo had never interfered with the imperial matter. He was known to be cold and did not care who the Emperor ruled in Albertine was. From generation to generation, Grand Duke Marvelo was concerned only with his own benefits, although the Emperor repeatedly persuaded Grand Duke Marvelo to interfere in imperial affairs, but the Emperor's persuasion did not work in the least. Later today Krystal heard about this, her feelings worsened given Lucio's fate.

“Yes, that's right, Grand Duke Marvelo's second son named Lucio Marvelo is my second concubine.”

Duke Salvatore suddenly showed a serious expression, Krystal felt that the arrival of Grand Duke Salvatore was not due to a small problem.

“I've heard rumors about Lucio Marvelo, the rumor says that Grand Duchess Marvelo died at the hands of her second son. I can't believe it just like that, but it's for this part of the reason that Grand Duke Marvelo sent his son to the monster area. Grand Duke Marvelo is adept at controlling magic, but in contrast to his second son who has powers beyond human reason,” explains Duke Salvatore.

‘Lucio killed his own mother? Whatdoes thatmean? I've never heard of this before, Krystal's inner’.

Krystal was drowned in curiosity, confusion also befell her, the reason Lucio was exiled by Grand Duke Marvelo became a big question mark on Krystal's head. Shion realizes that while Krystal is forcing herself too hard to think, she tries to touch the back of Krystal's hand.

“Your Highness, does Grand Duke Marvelo's problem bother you too?” whispered Shion asked.

“Hmm a little, but at the moment there is even more important,” reply Krystal.

Not long after, they arrived at the town square, together they got off the horse carriage. Krystal circulated her gaze, her eyes tracing every inch of the place used by commoners to make a living. The market condition of the town square was chaotic, crowded with thugs who tortured the seller. They force the seller to give protection money to them, not even a few small children who work as thieves.

“Here, Your Highness.” Duke Salvatore tells Krystal to follow him from behind.

Shion did not take his hand off Krystal, though his net was covered in a white cloth, he could still walk like a normal person without fear of falling or falling.

“Aura sadness,” Shion said suddenly.

“Aura sadness?”

Shion nodded, “Although my eyes are closed, I can still feel their aura. Auras of sadness enveloped this place, it seemed like the people here had started to despair with their respective lives.”

Krystal looked closely at everyone they went through, it was true that they were overwhelmed with sadness and despair. As long as their voices were ignored by the Emperor, their lives were destroyed by the irresponsible leader. Krystal felt the pain of watching all this directly in plain sight. For now Krystal could not do much to save them.

As they entered even further, Krystal accidentally caught the annoying sight. Some of the imperial knights came rioting in the market, they forced the merchants to hand over taxes to them, the amount they demanded was also not small.

“Give me the money now! Or do you want all this merchandise of yours I'm scrambling?” A knight appeared to be violent and threatening a fruit merchant.

“Yesterday you didn't give me tax money either, there's no second chance for you! Better you die than life does nothing for me.” The knight drew his sword and was about to smash it into the merchant's neck.

Right at that moment, Krystal held back the tip of her sword using two fingers, the knight's plan to kill ended up failing. The merchant was grateful that Krystal had arrived in time, all over her body shaking violently and immediately sitting down limply hugging her two crying children.

“You better stop that right now,” Krystal said coldly.

“Do you intend to be a hero of misfortune? Take off my sword before I slash your neck!” snarl the knight.

Crack

The knight's sword broke into two pieces, Krystal actually showed her wrath.

“Telebas? But your sword I broke.”

“Bigger! I am an imperial knight, you commoners should be able to show your respect to me!” The knight showed off his status as a knight to Krystal, but unlike what he had imagined, Krystal did not put a single shred of fear on him.

“Your status is even lower than mine,” ledk Krystal.

“What? How dare you!” Then the knight drew the sword of one of his friends and pointed it at Krystal. Shion quickly resisted the knight's sword attack using a small blade.

“If until your ugly sword hits just a strand of hair, I will make sure your life ends in your hands this very second.”

...***...

On the other hand at the same time, Fred was currently holding a hidden meeting with some influential nobles in Albertine. They are currently fretting because Krystal has a backer to ascend to the Crown Princess throne.

“Currently the noble faction is divided into two parts, the supporting faction of Princess Emilia and the supporting faction of Princess Krystal,” Count Egmont said.

“Faction support Mr Princess Krystal? This can't be allowed! The girl who has hurt my daughter will not let me rise to Crown Princess.” Duke Nadean poured out his anger because Krystal once injured his little daughter – Joanna while at the academy.

“Your Majesty, you should do something with this matter. You must not let the girl ascend to Emperor.”

The voices of the nobles were at each other's ease asking that Fred immediately settle the matter.

“Let's rest you guys, Your Majesty must have done something with this matter,” said Marquess Sullivan.

Fred is at the end of the table leading the way this hidden meeting, his mind filled with problems arising from Krystal who increasingly shows a threat to himself and the nobles who were present at the meeting.

“I was thinking about it as well as possible, but the girl was too strong even I doubt the Great Priest or the witch could get rid of her easily,”.

“We must do whatever it is, Your Majesty! Do not let the throne of the Emperor fall into the hands of the girl. From the beginning he has important status and—”

“YA, I KNOW IT!” sergeant Fred's emotion, “I know it's because Krystal isn't my son, her mother isn't a comfort woman or my concubine. Krystal was the son of my older brother the previous Emperor with his mother as Empress.”
