The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace - The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace chapter 161

160 Lilitha is in trouble

There were men in the first window I looked into. I wasn’t a mother. A little disappointed. Perhaps it was because of the desk that had some of the master’s magical energy left on it, so I was attracted to this window.

Everyone was upset when they saw Jumbo. A few people shouted “Your Majesty’s demon!”, and a few people shouted “My God, that’s a spirit!”

I just came out because my mother didn’t seem to be there.

The second window I looked through was an old woman. She was a dandy, dressed very well and with her hair held high. Her hair was so high that she thought Jumbo would want to try something like that someday.

As soon as the old woman saw Jumbo, she tore her eyes open and cried out.

“You dare to peek in, it’s reckless!”

[sorry.]

Jumbo apologized and left because he thought he was wrong. It was because he remembered what his master had said a long time ago that women hate it very much when they look at you when they are not ready.

The old woman was wearing a fancy dress made of round rods. It’s probably because the stick suit wasn’t prepared for something. Because the middle part of the dress was completely empty. It was like an animal with only bones left.

And when I got close to the third window, the smell of the master’s magical power flowed out of the window. For some reason, I had a feeling that my mother would be there.

When I pushed my head in, I saw shiny hair resembling a pretty sun. The woman had her back turned.

it’s mom I found my mother.

I knew it the moment I saw it. I could tell what he looked like without looking at his face.

There were demonic creatures that ate a lot of the owner’s mana around her. I couldn’t see it, but I could smell it.

[I am a real mother.]

It is certain that there are monsters attached by the master. I found my mother. My heart fluttered and my ears twitched.

I was so happy that I danced round and round in the air. With a happy heart, my ears pop and go up. I almost fell to the floor again. The owner told me not to fall on the floor anywhere, but I almost got into trouble.

At that time, the women sitting in front of my mother started to collapse.

oh, it’s a big deal Humans die easily. If one person dies, the person next to him dies as well. Because humans are too weak.

Mom is weaker. Even in the old days, the owner was always worried about her mother because she was weak.

Jumbo cried out loud.

[mom! be careful! Don’t die!]

Maybe I heard Jumbo’s voice. Mom turned around slowly.

Wow! It’s my mother’s face! You’ll see your mother’s face soon!

I was so happy that I wanted to go to my mother, but the window was so small that I couldn’t get in. The windows are slightly dented. The window frame shattered and stones fell with a rustling sound.

Eh, I know it’s a little bad, but I can’t help it. Jumbo widened the window and strained to enter.

It was then.

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard.

[this guy! You guys must have been playing hide-and-seek for really coming here. I should have promised to go find the master, but did I forget that?]

[Queuck!]

Jumbo was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and dragged into the air in an instant.

it was a dragon The dragon was looking down at him with raised eyebrows.

[Dragon, why are you here?]

When Jumbo asked, the dragon clicked its tongue and murmured.

[I made a contract. There is an order here. When you come, I will be summoned. It will be difficult if you destroy this place by mistake.]

The dragon glanced toward the window where the mother was. It seems that even the dragon is curious about its mother.

[Dragon! I have a mother. I’m here to see my mother I didn’t come here to break it.]

But because of the dragon, I couldn’t see my mother’s face. too bad. As I was about to complain, I heard a pretty voice from the window.

“No way, baby elephant? Dumbo? No, Jumbo, Jumbo?”

Mom knows Jumbo. Do you know that when you’re too happy, you cry? Jumbo is so happy that tears fall.

[mom!]

I turned around and saw my mother’s face.

How are you? Mom’s wrinkles are gone. Not a single wrinkle.

[Dragon, why does mom have no wrinkles?]

[That’s because I’m still young.]

[But what about your mother?]

[Even when you were born, your wife wouldn’t have had wrinkles.]

[no. there was a little I had a little thing in my eye. Because Jumbo remembers everything. But this mother doesn’t have one.]

[It’s because I’m still young.]

[…]

is it. Is it because I’m too young? It’s strange that mom doesn’t have a single wrinkle. I hope you get wrinkles soon.

Jumbo moved his ears fluttering and moved a little closer to his mother. I didn’t even catch the dragon this time. Well, I think the dragon was also curious. I was just staring at my mother.

[…mom.]

When Jumbo came closer and looked at his face, his mother smiled broadly. Ha ha ha, laugh out loud yes it is this voice Also, you’re right mom. Like her mother before, she was smiling with the same face and voice as the sun.

Jumbo waved his ears and fluttered while gently stretching his nose.

[Mom, I missed you.]

His nose lightly touched his mother’s face. Mom was startled and stretched out her hand. pinch your nose

[Dragon, mom’s behavior is the same as before. My mother used to hold me like this. Is this mother the mother?]

Perhaps, like the owner whose face has changed, the mother may have lost her memory.

[No, she is different from the previous wife.]

But the dragon seems to think it’s not.

Well, they say it’s not a dragon, but that guy doesn’t know everything either. The master said so long ago. Even dragons can be wrong sometimes, and they can be in danger. In that case, help each other and live.

[Jumbo thinks this mom is a wrinkled mom.]

I really really missed you. I like the owner, but I really like Jumbo’s mom too.

Hey, Mom, don’t die this time. After my mother died, the owner became an idiot. He brought in the Witch of the West, raised him, and later called her his wife. If I had a mother, I would never have said such a thing.

[That’s why Jumbo really hated the Witch of the West.]

Besides, he kept calling Jumbo Dumbo.

weird, really. I feel like crying when I’m so happy. Tears keep flowing from Jumbo’s eyes.

Tears keep coming out of Jumbo’s eyes, so it seems that Mom is embarrassed. He sighed and wiped Jumbo’s face.

Jerry the mouse burst out from behind Mom. He rode up on his mother’s shoulder and looked at Jumbo. Then he waved his tail and poked Jumbo’s nose.

[Mom is watching, don’t poke your nose. Then you look stupid!]

I just want to show my mom a cool side of me. Jumbo ducked his nose to avoid Jerry the mouse.

By the way, where is the mother and child?

Mom has a baby. That’s what the owner said. The owner makes a magical creature, and the mother makes a baby pom-pom.

I looked around and looked for the baby, but the little baby was nowhere to be seen. Strange. Is there no baby because there are no wrinkles? Wrinkles should appear quickly, so that you can have babies. I’m a little worried.

Mom, who had been watching Jumbo for a while, made a strange expression. Then, suddenly, tears welled up in my eyes. Jumbo was startled. Mom, are you crying? Want to cry? who bullied you?

As Jumbo panicked, the dragon murmured.

[Really, both you and your wife seem to be the type that requires a lot of hands.]

The dragon slightly raised the wind. A thin wind gently blows and dries the mother’s cheeks.

As the tears flowed down and disappeared, the mother tilted her head strangely. And after seeing the dragon, he laughed.

“Thank you. You’re both nice. Just like in Lu’s fairy tale.”

It sounded like a sad voice. The dragon clicked his tongue and sent the wind back to his mother. Mom’s hair fluttered in the wind.

oh i know this This is a comforting wind.

Once upon a time, when master and mother fought, the dragon often sent wind like this. Every time that happened, my mother’s hat, handkerchief, or skirt would fly loose, and the owner would catch them and we would laugh.

[Mom, who did you fight with? Did you fight with your master? Is that why the dragon blows?]

I asked, but Mom couldn’t understand Jumbo. Instead, he pinched Jumbo’s nose and said,

“Thanks to you, I’ve also made up my mind. Thank you both. Take care of my children. Don’t fight.”

The demonic creatures that had been hiding at the mother’s words appeared with bursts of light.

Are you new friends?

I was so happy that I wanted to dance, but I couldn’t. The dragon gripped his neck tightly.

Besides, humans are noisy.

People threw out sticks and knives from all sides, and some screamed. Some people seem to be delighted with His Majesty’s demonic creatures. Only one thing, humans are so stupid.

My mother proudly told people.

“These children belong to Your Majesty. Don’t worry. They didn’t come to harm us.”

Mom is awesome! I don’t know what it is but it’s cool Something more was being said, but I couldn’t hear any more. The dragon said time was up and grabbed it by the scruff of the neck. Without time to say hello, Jumbo was dragged by the dragon and flew back to the mountain behind the imperial palace.

I’m depressed. Now is the time to be punished. Because I went to see my mother on my own.

Mom was smiling and waving. But why? Mom looked a little sad.

Oh, but the window is a bit broken. I held it with my nose to avoid being dragged away, but it blew a hole. what to do

Mom, I’m sorry. Sorry for breaking the window.

***

It is not to understand the words of the demonic creature. No one can hear it except Rudy. But Lilitha knew what they were saying by feeling from an early age. I think so.

The baby elephant that appeared like a storm was calling Lilitha mother. Mom, nice to meet you, Mom, I like you. It felt like saying that.

‘mom.’

I heard that and thought. I can’t pretend I don’t know anymore.

‘Enough now.’

I knew I had to make a decision. But I pretended not to know. I didn’t even look at it at all.

Because of the selfishness of what to do if Lu was stolen by another woman, he ignored the problem as if it didn’t exist.

‘I was only thinking of myself.’

I once asked Rudy. Why did you want to become emperor, and what did you want to do once you became emperor?

At that time, Rudy replied that it was because he had the power to help the hungry and the naked, and it was difficult to turn away.

It’s not because I want to have power or have a lot of women. Rudi just wanted to become an emperor and help the poor and pitiful people.

His wish does not end with him alone. The next emperor who inherited Rudy’s blood or not should inherit the will and benefit the people.

Because what Rudi wants is not the people who are sparklingly happy while he reigns, but the people who continue to live peacefully and happily after he dies.

Rudy needs an heir who will carry on his will.

And Lilitha couldn’t make that happen.

It’s already been several months since the imperial army left for Cania. I broke up with Rudy in early summer, but the wheat harvest was already over and it was too hot to live without an air conditioner magic tool. Summer will be over in a little while. Still, he…

Looking at the still noisy soldiers and people, Lilitha said quietly to Taira, who was standing next to her.

“Move the fainting wife to another room and call the baroness.”

Perhaps thinking that Lilitha’s mood was strange, Taira suddenly looked at her. However, he immediately bowed his head.

“Yes, Mama.”

Taira left the room, and the chamberlain ran to confirm that Rilisha was safe. Several attendants checked the broken spears. The baby elephant seems to have been touched lightly, but it was completely collapsed here and there.

Today’s meeting is over. After all the wives had left, Lilitha headed to another room with the maids who were excited by the appearance of the baby elephant.

After waiting for a while, the baroness entered.

“Did you call, Mama?”

“Yes. I have something I want to share with the baroness alone, so everyone move away.”

Lilitha bit all the maids around her. Thai is no exception. Ignoring Tyra who kept looking at her and asking what was going on with her eyes, Rilisha waited for all the ladies-in-waiting to leave.

The room quickly became quiet.

It’s so quiet you can even hear your breathing.

The baroness came closer and asked.

“Mama, your face is white. Is it because of that monster? Is there anything that hurts you?”

“…”

“What’s going on?”

The baroness knelt down and looked up at Lilitha’s face from below. The baroness looks worried. Risha held her breath and opened her mouth.

“I need to open Her Majesty’s concubine.”

“…Tell me what’s going on, Mama. The concubine has been closed since His Majesty the Emperor passed away. I know that Your Majesty has no intention of opening the concubine now. Nadiagra Bhimama will be the only one there for the time being. But why did it suddenly happen? Do you speak? Did someone say something?”

“No, nobody.”

Lilitha said that and intertwined her fingers and held them tight. Tears fell and hit the back of my hand.

“mama.”

The baroness took her hand.

“What are you doing?”

An incredibly small voice came out of Lilitha’s mouth.

“I can’t get pregnant. I can’t give birth to an heir to His Majesty. It’s been several months since His Majesty left, and there’s no news this time either.”

“…”

The Baroness’ eyes are wide open.

“You and your majesty took advantage of your friendship and kept pretending not to know. But concubines are under the empress’ jurisdiction, right?

Lilitha swallowed the cry that was about to burst out and continued.

“I want to be the first concubine, Tyra. Of course, His Majesty must like it, but I think I can do well with Tyra.”

Hmm, the baroness cleared her throat. It’s very rare that she does that.

Blinking away the tears that filled her eyes, she looked at the baroness’s face.

“Mama, in the imperial family, there is a person who explains and teaches the relationship of the night to the princesses who are getting married. Call that person right away.”

“I don’t think you understand what I said, but there’s no point in learning that. I…”

Tears fill up again.

The baroness said a little apologetically.

“Mama hasn’t had s*x with your majesty yet.”

“…huh?”

“They continued to sleep together.”

“uh?”

eyes became round.

The baroness gave a small smile.

“I knew Mama was wrong, but I’m sorry. I didn’t think you had such a strong self-control.

The baroness laughed quietly.

After that, a very old man came to visit the empress’ palace. He was a very old man. I had never seen one so old.

The old man had a book with pictures of men and women. I spread it out to Rilisha.

Nonsense! what’s this.

Lilitha jumped up.

“Lu, no, Your Majesty won’t do this. He won’t do anything stupid like this. My God!”

His face turned red. I can’t imagine Rudy doing such a silly pose. You really look like a fool.

The old man laughed and said.

“Mama, all men and women in the world make children like this. No matter how great a man or noble woman is, it’s the same.”

Not like that. Rudy never acts like an idiot like this. Besides, Lou has such a weird thing? Nonsense.

The baroness, who was watching the exchange between the two, said to the old man.

“Mama grew up in a cloth wrapped in several layers by His Majesty. She has never approached anything dirty. , Please teach me from the very basics.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve heard stories about Mama. The two of them grew up together from a young age. If you grow up like brother and sister, it’s often rather difficult to have a relationship between a man and a woman. I help build a relationship. The fighting spirit of an old man boils for the first time in a long time.”

From that day on, the old man’s education time was added to Lilitha’s daily routine. As the old man’s education progressed, his mind became more and more white.

Your mind will break down and throw it away. It will be shattered and reduced to dust.

‘Everyone, did all the men and women in the world do this?’

It felt like the world, which had been beautifully colored until now, was being painted over with messy colors. I’d rather just turn to dust and disappear. I don’t want to do anything stupid like this.

Lou, is Lou different? don’t you do this?
