Episode 165

“What is this!”

Sedes, who was watching the video, got up from his seat and hit the table.

The sharp shards of glass dug deep into the child’s delicate palms.

Some of those who were watching the video together were shocked, while others turned their heads away as if they couldn’t watch it.

The child’s blood soaked the floor, but the cold voice continued.

-How dare you look at me with such eyes?

-… … .

-Poisonous thing. It doesn’t make a sound.

Sarette rubbed his shoes as he spoke. His mangled hands were trembling in pain.

The child pushed her away with all his might.

-Ugh!

With a loud crash, Madame Sarette fell down. A shard of glass rolled on the ground and cut her hand.

It was the wound that the child claimed was caused by swinging a shard of glass.

“This, this is…!”

Sarette, whose face had turned pale, quickly tried to cover up her wounds, but it was no use.

In the video, Sarette is seen pulling her hair out and messing up her clothes like a madman, then suddenly screams and runs away.

The video then cuts off as the surprised employees kick the crystal ball that was in operation.

The air quickly grew colder and Sarette’s face turned pale.

‘I’ve been fooled. I’ve been fooled. It was meant to be this way from the beginning… ‘

Sarette glanced at the queen. Her crimson eyes, filled with endless warmth, were shining coldly.

‘This, this won’t do. Somehow… …!’

Thud, Sarette fell to her knees.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please listen to what the old man has to say just once!”

“Do you have any excuse?”

“I, I, I did something wrong. Ha, but, please know that the footage I showed you wasn’t a lie at all! I, I’ve been through a lot too, so…, so…!”

“…….”

“Wrong…, wrong, Your Majesty!”

Thud, Sarette fell to the floor with tears streaming down her face.

“Your Majesty…, it is true that the old lady was wrong, but how many times must she have suffered to have done this? I will also bow my head here, so please show mercy just this once.”

ah…….

Sarette’s face became even more distorted at the unexpected words of the queen. That was not a defense. It was a warning.

A warning that if you talk nonsense again, you won’t be left alone unless you take care of everything yourself.

I looked around and saw many contemptuous looks. I gulped with sadness.

‘How, how could you abandon this nanny like that? After all she did for you!’

I wanted to scream like that, but in the end, I had no choice but to say what the red-eyed girl wanted me to say. That evil thing was something I had raised.

“I did that because I had a lot of things piled up over time… I hated that kid so much. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“…How dare you, put the criminal who deceived the royal family in prison.”

Sedes’s bright yellow eyes shone brightly. Sarette’s face, now pale and sallow, looked like it had been washed away.

The guards surrounded the prisoner.

After confirming that Sarette was being dragged away by the guards, Nihil took his hands off Lianus’ eyes. Then he nodded to the child’s father.

Sedes, who had been angry, added with a face slightly tired of the meticulousness.

Yeah, there must have been a reason for me to endure even though I had the video.

“Until the investigation into the sinner Sarette is completed, Queen Helia is to remain in the cold palace.”

***

“It is said that what Madame Sarette broke in the first place was not a magical tool but an ordinary glass bead. Judging from the fact that she tried to give the jewel to the Visionary, it seems that she tried to give it to the Visionary as a token of apology or to avoid the situation.”

“…I see.”

“Yes. I think the child took the crystal ball that had fallen in the living room as a replacement for the broken glass beads.”

“…okay.”

Sedes responded indifferently to the actions of his son’s friend, who was meticulous and clever.

“It must have been a child’s treasure since he kept it in his pocket, but it’s such a shame that it’s broken. I can’t give it to him since I have to use the video as evidence….”

“…….”

Sedes secretly trembled at the public sympathy for his son’s friend.

I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think the glass beads were treasures. The real treasures were probably miscellaneous things like bookmarks and bracelets.

“But we still haven’t figured out why that video was there.”

“Oh, that might be mine.”

“yes?”

Abel, who was listening to the report in the office, responded awkwardly.

“Haha, I lost it before.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, you can return it to me once the investigation is over.”

“All right.”

Since most of the magical tools in the main palace had passed through Abel’s hands, the captain of the guard nodded without a doubt and retreated.

Sedes let out a deep sigh as he saw the office door close with a bang.

“…Come out now.”

At the word “come out,” a white head suddenly popped out from under my desk.

The fearless little boy who had trespassed into the king’s office stretched out and went over to the sofa and plopped down.

When I came back after finishing my meal, I was so surprised to see the child crouching under the desk.

Sedes smoothed out his cloak, which had become slightly wrinkled from his son’s friend’s fiddling with it, and let out a sigh.

“…Why did the prince come alone?”

“The child is taking a nap right now. Children need to sleep well in order to grow up well.”

“siesta?”

“That’s right. I haven’t been able to sleep much lately because I’ve been studying. I bet you’ve been hugging your stuffed animals while you sleep. You used to only hug Pupu while you slept, but one day, you started taking care of Popo because you thought he might get lonely.”

Ah, Popo is the name of a rabbit doll. Son’s nanny… no, my friend said that and snickered.

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

At those words, Sedes couldn’t hide his flustered expression.

“…Can’t you see that my workload has increased thanks to you?”

Sedes looked at the pile of papers that were piled up more than usual. Because of the queen’s strictness, all the work she had to do had been brought up to her.

“This time, I’m talking about hiring a servant for the Wernus Palace.”

“…You don’t even pretend to listen.”

As I thought about the prince sleeping while hugging his dolls, my expression naturally relaxed, grumbling that it was too much.

Come to think of it, there seem to be several bookmarks that are believed to have been made by the prince. Should I ask for just one?

“…So I want to get my hands on it.”

“What?”

“Father, please concentrate on the conversation.”

“…I’m sorry.”

Sedes rolled his head for a moment, wondering what he was talking about, then opened his mouth.

“Ah, hiring a servant for the Wernus Palace. Well, since the Queen is also a servant, it’s not as difficult as you might think… ”

As I spoke, I felt strange. The Queen’s role was to manage the royal household, and the management of the servants of the minor princes also had to go through the Queen’s hands.

So, I decided not to hire any more servants for the Second Prince’s palace, and instead gave them the trustworthy servants who worked in my palace…

“…So this is why you took risks to get rid of the queen.”

The corners of the little boy’s mouth went up.

It gave me goosebumps.

***

“Sister, listen to me!”

“Abel, why are you acting so childish these days?”

Amanda frowned at the sight of her younger brother, who had come to the townhouse of the Counts of Tarandrus early in the morning to throw a tantrum.

“The Second Prince’s palace is currently recruiting servants.”

“Really? It seems like the prince’s condition has improved a lot.”

“That’s not the problem. Neil asked His Majesty to procure just one attendant.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m talking about sending my first nephew as a sacrifice… no, as a servant. He’s 16 this year, so isn’t that perfect?”

Amanda was moved by those words.

“What good will it do to send a child with a sore leg? And Abel, this is not the land of Marquis Brigid. This is the land of Count Talandrus. It is not a place where I can do as I please. If you want to support the second prince, get married quickly and send your child.”

“I want to do that too! But just because you get married doesn’t mean you’ll have kids right away.”

When I asked Neil if he wanted to come in as a quantum, he refused. Abel grumbled and stuck out his lips.

To be exact, I suggested that they try raising twins. Neil very elegantly refused to be adopted.

Knock, knock.

Just then, a boy was seen coming down the stairs, leaning on a cane.

“Is your uncle here?”

Abel was distressed by his nephew’s stiff greeting. Neil likes small and cute things, but my nephew… , um… .

“Nephew.”

“yes.”

“What kind of ribbon do you like?”

“yes?”

“I think your nephew really needs a ribbon.”

“…yes……?”

***

“Brother Jane! Slick your hair back a little more neatly!”

“Ha, but, you, look, so vicious, vicious…….”

Jane hesitated and put back her bangs that Dave had swept over. Her thin, upturned eyes looked so fierce that they often caused trouble.

“No! I thought it was best to look neat!”

“That’s right, Jane. I think you should put your hair up.”

As Yvonne chimed in, Dave confidently tossed Jane’s hair back again and checked her outfit.

“Wow! You guys look really cool dressed up like this! I made the right decision to just apply. How did I get rejected by all of them and get just one?”

“Haha, Dave, I just got the paperwork. I could go today and get a straight pass.”

“But still! Oh, where is the place?”

“Um…, 8th Avenue Opera Hall.”

“An opera hall… I thought I would never be able to see one in my entire life….”

“Me, me too. But, uh, what, what does Wernus do?”

When Jane asked, her bangs slightly down, Dave answered, pulling them up again.

“Oh, I told you not to get off. Isn’t that the name of the opera hall?”

“Well, then, all I have to do is clean up the house or carry things, right? What if I’m asked to do things like serve food? Of course, passing comes first, but…”

Jane continued to stroke her heart, as if the tension was not letting up.

“Brother Jane, you said on your application that you have a speech impediment. Don’t worry too much.”

“That’s right, Jane. Well… I can’t help it if we fall apart, but… Actually, I’m more worried about getting in trouble with Neil. I spent a lot of money on clothes.”

Dave jumped at the thought of needless worry.

“I told you to use it ‘when necessary’. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment that could determine whether or not you’ll get a job! If not now, then when? Oh, and thanks for buying my clothes too.”

Dave said that and straightened his clothes again. He never thought that even he, who did not meet the requirements at all, would pass the document screening.

Of course, this isn’t just a coincidence.

Dave freckled for no reason, looking nervous.

“Yvonne, take care. I’ll take good care of the kids.”

“Yeah, Marie, thank you. If you had applied too, you might have had a chance……”

“I can’t even read yet. When you come back, teach me how to read.”

“Oh, oh! Okay, I’ll do that!”

“Brother, come quickly. The coachman is waiting.”

Dave dragged Yvonne, her face flushed red, into the carriage.

I don’t know if it was because it was the cheapest carriage, or if carriages were originally this bumpy, but the seats were so hard that my butt hurt every time it rattled.

Still, as I sat in the carriage and looked out, something seemed to be surging up.
