The Princess's Revenge
CHAPTERS 137. The Fall of the Empress's Position
Empress Ericka who entered into the trap of Second Prince Illion did as planned.
Empress Ericka who thought that King Jonathan IV was the one who had the heart to kill the child she had born and raised lovingly made her resolve to bring King Jonathan IV to see her Son.
“You have killed my Son with your command and position! Then don't blame me for being mean and cruel!” said Empress Ericka who was standing alone in her room.
“Since I have known all these facts, I am no longer your wife, your Empress! I am a Mother who has lost her beloved Son!” empress Ericka said, holding a colorless or odorless poison in her hand.
While Empress Ericka was making up her mind, a servant came knocking on her door slowly.
“Your Majesty, His Majesty the King has arrived in front of the Palace and will soon arrive at the Garden of Glass!” said a Young Servant politely as she lowered her head.
Empress Ericka, who did not want to lose the golden opportunity to avenge her, went to the Garden of Glass with her head raised.
The Empress who had arrived first in the Glass Garden also drove all the servants away and told herself alone in the Park.
“Everybody leave this place! I will serve Your Majesty myself!” empress Ericka said with a cold facial expression and tone of voice.
“Good, Your Majesty!” said all the Servants who were nearby simultaneously while lowering their heads and leaving to slowly disappear.
King Jonathan, who is said to have arrived at the Palace, finally reached the Glass Garden and was greeted with a big smile by Empress Ericka.
“Welcome Your Majesty!” empress Ericka said with a soft tone of voice and a wide cheerful smile while showing her noble etiquette.
“You don't have to do this, Empress! Lift your head!” king Jonathan IV said with a happy face to see the beautiful smile on his Empress's face again.
“I'm glad you can smile again after everything that happened!” king Jonathan IV said with a big smile.
“Thank you for the attention from His Majesty!” said Empress Ericka, who did not look at King Jonathan IV as she spoke.
“I just got a very rare shipment of black tea from the neighboring Kingdom. I invite Your Majesty to enjoy this tea with me in the Glass Garden!” empress Ericka said in a gentle voice, brewing black tea for King Jonathan IV.
Empress Ericka, who had infused a very small amount of poison into the black tea she made, brewed it on King Jonathan IV.
“Please drink, Your Majesty! I hope Your Majesty likes the black tea that I have brewed!” empress Ericka said with a big smile as she picked up her cup of tea and drank it.
Empress Ericka who did not want to be accused of killing King Jonathan IV also made King Jonathan IV fall ill from consuming small amounts of poison every day.
“Teh is so delicious! I like her so much! Thank you, Empress!” king Jonathan IV said with a happy face.
“I'm so happy now so tell me what my Empress wants then I'll grant it!” king Jonathan IV said with confidence.
Empress Ericka who heard the offer uttered by King Jonathan IV was immediately the greatest desire of Empress Ericka he had to hide appeared.
“I want your life! I want you to die so painfully and pitifully!” empress Ericka said in her heart with a gentle face mask.
“I don't want anything. Provided His Majesty can continue with me then that is more than enough!” empress Ericka said with a gentle smile.
“Agh, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty really likes this black tea then let me send Shezia to send black tea to Your Majesty every day!” empress Ericka said with a clear face.
“I cannot refuse the sincerity of my Empress. Of course I'll take it! Empress can send this black tea to me anytime!” said King Jonathan IV who entered into the trap of the benevolent mask of Empress Ericka.
Empress Ericka who received permission from King Jonathan IV was finally very happy and did everything according to her thoughts.
The Second Prince of Illion who could have predicted this would happen also pretended to be a dutiful child by summoning the Royal Physician to heal King Jonathan IV.
“How is he doing, Doctor? Is Your Majesty alright?” second Prince Illion asked in a slightly high voice as he wanted to wake up the sleeping King Jonathan IV.
“Your Highness is very weak. I don't know the cause but I will try to find out!” said the Royal Physician with a strong determination.
“Alright! I believe in you guys! You can go now!” said Second Prince Illion after seeing King Jonathan IV had shown signs of being aware.
King Jonathan IV who felt his body was very weak with a head that felt very sick also felt very grateful to see the Second Prince of Illion beside him.
“Ayahanda! How are you doing? Are you okay?” asked the Second Prince of Illion with a worried-sounding facial expression and tone of voice.
“I'm fine. I just need time to rest!” king Jonathan IV said with a calming smile.
“Thank God if it is like that. I became very confused. Why did His Majesty suddenly fall ill when all this time His Majesty was fine? Does Your Majesty consume anything out of the ordinary?” asked the Second Prince of Illion who started throwing his fishing net.
Harold's adjutant who was also in the room of King Jonathan IV was reminded of the black tea that was always sent by Empress Ericka was accidentally opened her mouth.
“Teh Black! Black Tea is always sent by His Majesty Empress Ericka at all times to His Majesty the King because His Majesty really likes that black tea when it comes to visiting the Empress in his Palace!” adjutant Harold said with a puzzled facial expression.
“Didn't the empress have put something in the black tea that was always sent to Ayahanda?” asked the Second Prince of Illion with a suspicious facial expression.
King Jonathan IV who did not believe that the Empress he had always treated well and had been with him for decades did such a cruel thing was furious.
“Do not say Prince! The Queen would never do that!” king Jonathan IV shouted in a loud voice and then unexpectedly felt a pain in his head again.
“I do not accuse the Empress. I'm just worried about His Majesty's safety and blessings! If Your Majesty behaves like this then this matter will not find its bright spot!” said the Second Prince of Illion with a resolute voice.
“Alright! In order to dispel your suspicions then Harold will conduct an investigation into the Empress! If the Empress doesn't do this then you should apologize to her publicly!” king Jonathan IV said with a serious face.
“Of course. Don'worry. I will make an apology announcement in front of everyone but what if the Empress is found guilty?” asked the Second Prince of Illion with a confident face.
“I will lower the position of the Empress. I will also punish him with his family as the Punishment of the Rebellion!” king Jonathan said in a loud and firm voice.
The Second Prince of Illion, who had received a promise from King Jonathan IV, was so satisfied that he decided to leave King Jonathan IV alone to think about everything that had happened to him.
A day later, Second Prince Illion, who received news that Empress Ericka had indeed stored the poison used to make King Jonathan IV sick, lost his position as Empress.
Duke Sevantei who is the Noble who became the Family of Empress Ericka was also detained along with the people who were in it.
All were arrested on charges of Rebellion over the Kingdom of Hepallius and held in the Royal Underground Prison.
King Jonathan IV who was surprised by the fact that he could not accept also fell ill so that the Administration of the Royal Palace was hampered.
The Second Prince of Illion who did not want to lose the golden opportunity took the important position of replacing the ailing King Jonathan IV to become the Supreme Ruler of the Kingdom of Hepallius.
“Happy Your Majesty! Now you have one last step towards your destination!” said the Marquess Ballaguisse who stood beside the Second Prince of Illion with a joyful face.
