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 163

162 Strongest Combination

Wow, time goes by really well. It seemed like a cold wind was blowing, and it became winter in an instant.

Lilitha turned 16 alone in the imperial palace without Rudi.

On New Year’s Day, I opened the small piece of paper that was enclosed in the letter Rudy had sent me. Rudy wrote, ‘Ask Jerry to put magic on New Year’s Day’.

Unrecognizable characters were written in my ink on the paper.

As the mouse Jerry poured the magical energy he received from Rudy, the whole room was filled with sparkling rainbows and flower petals.

And Cinderella and Snow White, the seven dwarfs, one hundred and one puppies, the brother and sister climbing up the rope, the mother and the tiger carrying rice cakes up the hill…

All the fairy tale stories Rudy had told me since he was little were unfolded on the spot. It was a very beautiful and lonely New Year.

Even if there are no main characters in such flashy fairy tales, just one Lu needs to be there…

I wanted to say that, but I wrote a reply saying that it was a very beautiful and happy New Year.

The New Year’s banquet was not held because of the war.

Instead, Lilitha celebrated the New Year by setting up a small gathering with the salon wives, and made donations to several temples that cared for orphans.

The donation was used from the personal funds of the empress who went to Lilitha.

The emperor and empress are allocated a substantial budget each year.

A budget was established that was broken down into several categories, including the amount available for clothing and jewelry, including money that could be used for personal purposes.

What Rilisha used was such personal funds, a concept like the empress’s pocket money. There are official funds that can be used as donations, but this time, I dared to use personal funds because a lot of Lilitha’s personal thoughts went into it.

After learning what men and women in this world do to give birth to children, Rilisha couldn’t eat properly for a while.

When he tries to eat something, he thinks of himself and Rudy lying naked. physiologically unacceptable. I really can’t, and I hate to imagine, myself and Rudy getting along in that way.

When she couldn’t eat and kept getting dry, the baroness told the chief attendant to take Lilitha to the temple outside the imperial palace. It was a temple that took care of pregnant women and orphans who had nowhere to go.

There, Lilitha saw the newborn baby for the first time.

The baby’s mother was a woman who was protected by the temple, but I was not told what the circumstances were that brought her there.

They say they were born with such bizarre behavior, but why is the baby so pretty and lovely? Not dirty. It was clean and lovely.

After that, I was barely able to eat.

Even so, if the relationship between a man and a woman seemed sublime after that, it was absolutely not. Still frowning.

But for some reason, the rice became delicious again. Really, I don’t know why. The baroness seems to have thought that would be the case, but what has changed? I never know.

After that, Lilitha decided to donate from her personal funds to the temple that does this every year.

And he seemed to know a little bit about why Rudy didn’t engage in s*xual acts even though he slept with him every day in the same bed.

When he met Rudy, he was a baby who couldn’t even walk. Obviously, Lu also felt this way, so I don’t think he hugged Lilitha.

Babies are just babies, they can’t be wives or husbands, maybe. he definitely will It occurred to him that if he had seen Rudy as a baby, they would definitely not have a relationship like that.

But I don’t like it as it is.

I don’t even want to imagine having a relationship between a man and a woman, but if Rudy did that with another woman, I would get extremely angry, and if he didn’t do it with me, I would get angry.

Oh really, I’m starting to get angry again. It means that Lou has been thinking that way all along. He thought of himself as a baby. More and more anger rose. No matter where you look, these breasts are babies!

My mind went this way and that way, moving very busily.

‘Haa, it’s really my heart, but why am I so unaware of it?’

Risha sighed.

Tyra next to her giggles and laughs. Tyra seems to know what Lilitha is thinking. Maybe it’s showing all the thoughts in my head.

What really upsets me is that, having grown up in the grasslands, Tyra knew from an early age that men and women had relationships like that.

In the meadow where she lived, parents and children all sleep together in a tent, so they say that they see such a scene from an early age.

He was the only one who didn’t know what Tai knew. Thinking about it made me angry again.

“Don’t laugh, Tyra. You should have taught me if you knew, really.”

“Then it’s no fun, Mama. I can laugh like this now because I didn’t tell you then.”

“…”

It’s grumpy. it’s the devil

When Lilitha glanced at her, Tyra asked with a calm face.

“Mama, would you like another cup of hot tea? It looks like it’s cold.”

“it’s okay.”

Rilisha pursed her lips and looked at Tyra directly.

“By the way, we have more important matters to discuss. We can’t put it off any longer.”

“What’s wrong?”

Tyra tilted her head.

A little nervous. Lilitha sighed and looked into Tyra’s eyes. Now I will have to talk about what I have been putting off pretending not to exist.

“Tyra, you’re 17 now. Now you have to decide on a marriage partner.”

Tyra, who is one year older than Lilitha, is at the right age for marriage. If you miss the right time, you will become an old maid. Even now, in fact, it was a little late.

Imperial women usually marry between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. If you pass 20, you will be treated as an old virgin who has missed marriage. Of course, there were no good marriages at that age.

A woman’s age for marriage is very short, like a snowflake that disappears when touched. If you don’t hurry, you will be surrounded on all sides by walls of troubled men and second wives.

“Tira, would you like to become Lu’s concubine? No, I would like to be, Tyra.”

Lilitha held Tyra’s hand still.

All of the maids around her have already been bitten by the baroness. There were only two people in the room.

“I haven’t told Lu yet, but I’ve already told the Baroness and the Chamberlain. Tyra just needs to nod.”

“…”

Tyra looks very surprised. I opened my eyes wide and looked at Lilitha.

“I’ve been thinking about it ever since I was under the illusion that I couldn’t get pregnant. It’s okay if it’s Tyra.”

If you ask me if I don’t like it, I actually hate it. Even Tyra really hated sharing roux. But she can stand it. You may be sad or jealous, but you can definitely get over it.

Tyra looked at Lilitha quietly and let out a long sigh.

“Mama, I think you misunderstood something.”

“huh?”

“It’s true that I like the Emperor, but I don’t think that’s the same as Mama loving you.”

Tyra averted her eyes slightly and said.

“I guess I’m a face person.”

“huh?”

“I like His Majesty’s face. It’s beautiful. Looking at it makes me ecstatic and my mood floats.”

“…”

“But, like Mama, I love that one person. It’s not like that. Actually, I haven’t told Mama, but I have someone to marry.”

“Eek?”

Lilitha jumped up without realizing it.

“What are you talking about! Nonsense. Who? Impossible. I’ve never seen anyone like that. The only men Tyra has been close to are the Chief Chamberlain and Levin. Don’t lie to me, Tyra. the poor?”

“…”

Tyra stayed still and twisted her head slightly.

“Tyra?”

“…I’m Levin.”

“what?”

“The person I’m going to marry.”

“…”

“…”

I’m not sure what I just heard.

When Lilitha looked at Tyra with a blank face, she muttered.

“Levin has a very pretty face.”

“…Really?”

“…yes.”

“…”

After a while, Tyra threw away the water in the teacup with a nonchalant face and poured a new cup of tea.

“Have a cup of hot tea, Mama. It’s winter and you get cold easily.”

I asked how he and Levin got along, but Tyra wouldn’t answer. She cleverly avoided talking and went outside, saying it was time to change with another lady-in-waiting.

‘Levin and Tyra?’

weird. The two of them had never shown a relationship like lovers, but when did they even promise to marry?

Rilisha pulled out the stationery. You must hurry up and tell Rudy about this.

‘If, this really is, if Tyra is really flirting with Levine’s looks, then the nail needs to be nailed down. At least Lou’s approval will be needed.’

The Tyra has no blood relatives in this country. There were no sponsors. Tyra, who has no family power, has only Lu and Lilitha to rely on.

On the other hand, Levin was not only beautiful in appearance, even though he was a little lower in the family, and was the emperor’s most intimate servant.

There are many families who want to approach him and build a relationship.

I don’t know why I’m not getting married even though I’m well past the right age for marriage, huh, huh?

‘Could it be because of Tyra? Could it be that Tyra was still alone in her mid-twenties, waiting until she was of marriageable age?’

God, if that was the case, I would have to tell Rudy really quickly. If the emperor knows and acknowledges the relationship between the two, even if the marriage promise is mere words, it is not easily changed.

I heard that there are many married women and elderly ladies who want to be in love with Levin, even if it’s just for one night.

I had never heard of Levin having affairs with other ladies-in-waiting or noblewomen, but there was a possibility that he would be hooked up with another woman.

This is a story I heard while getting close to the wives at the salon, and they say that there are many techniques for women to entangle men.

I’ve heard that a lot of women use the trap of slightly messing up their clothes, especially by creating a situation where they are alone with a man. It is to deliberately let a third person witness such an appearance.

It is said that the higher the rank of the family, the more honor is valued, and in the case of male nobles, ninety-nine out of a hundred are said to be forced to marry if caught in such a situation. In some cases, it is said that the women’s family decides to sell such a trap.

Levin has a naive side, probably because he is from a rural aristocrat. If you fall into such a trap, you will be knocked out.

When I thought of Levin, I let out a slight sigh.

How bright Levin’s smile was, sometimes to the point of worrying about whether he could do well in an imperial palace like this.

‘Since Tyra is smart, the two of them might get along surprisingly well if they get married.’

I somehow enjoyed it.

I was confused at first, but isn’t it fantastic that the marriage of the emperor’s closest attendant and the maid whom the empress considers like a sister?

Someday, if Lilitha gives birth to Rudy’s child, she may end up marrying Tyra’s child. It’s really a what-if story, but it’s possible.

‘Kyaa!’

Unknowingly, he rolled over and rolled over the carpet. After lying around like that for a while, Rilisha hurriedly got up and picked up the pen again.

[Lu, if our child and Tyra’s child are male and female, so it would be great if they got along well and got married. They will definitely be happy children.]

When I write like that, the smile doesn’t leave. It seemed that the future that would become more and more real was hardening into reality in my head.

***

After leaving the empress’s room, Tyra moved to a retreat. There is a place I go to when I am depressed sometimes. let’s hurry Tears are likely to come out. Tyra’s steps grew faster.

When she ran into some maids, she smiled brightly. After a few meaningless chatter, I moved my legs again.

And after a while, Tyra passed through the corridors of the empress’ palace and arrived at a place with few people.

This area is currently unused. It was cleaned and maintained regularly, but that was it.

Tyra opened the door to one of them.

A spacious room, most of the furniture is covered with white cloth to protect the expensive furniture. Almost the same as the other rooms.

The only difference was that there was a sofa in one corner with no cloth hanging on it.

Tyra sat there, covering her face with her hands. There is no one here. You can cry. Even if you cry out loud to your heart’s content, no one will hear you.

When I was crying alone in the corner of my childhood, the baroness pointed me to this place. If you want to cry, you can come here, and no one will see it.

Since that day, this secluded place has been Tyra’s repository of sorrow. After coming here, she wept to her heart’s content and threw away her sorrow, then returned to the empress’ palace.

A sob escaped Tyra’s mouth. Weep loudly like a child.

love. i love him I have loved you since childhood. However, the empress was just as important to Tyra.

I wanted to nod my head at the empress’ words to become a concubine. The words to serve the emperor together were smeared with sweet poison and raised in the ears. The empress herself says so, so do it. The devil in my heart seemed to tempt me like that.

But Tyra knew.

Deep in Lilitha’s heart screams. I was crying because I didn’t want to give my precious person to anyone.

Once, as a child, Tyra almost killed Lilitha. Tyra had poked him with a pin, causing the horse to riot.

At the time, I didn’t know how big of a sin it was. The unbearable reality was just frightening. Later, when I got a little older, I realized that it was a miracle that I hadn’t been decapitated right away.

And, perhaps, he vaguely noticed that the emperor or one of his attendants did not know that the horse had run amok because of Tyra’s fault.

The horse at that time was specially trained for the empress. He must have been trained not to be easily surprised by anything. That said, Tyra went on a rampage as soon as she approached, so yeah, you probably knew. However, it was luck that the emperor was generous to the child.

The only person who really didn’t know anything on the spot might be Lilitha.

Lilitha never doubted Tyra, not even once. He had strong faith in young Tyra, who was terrified that someone might find out about it. Tyra was never the kind of person who would do such a thing, Lilitha still believes.

‘I’m not putting her in danger again. Never make me sad.’

Even if it’s the sadness hidden deep in the heart that Lilitha herself doesn’t know about, Tyra never pretends she doesn’t know and takes advantage of it.

The life that had once died was saved by the emperor.

However, it was Lilitha who protected Taira after that.

If it wasn’t for Lilitha, who cried out loud and said she was sorry even though she hadn’t done anything wrong, Tyra would have already had her heart broken long ago in an unfamiliar country and unfamiliar imperial palace.

I was able to do my best thanks to Rilisha. Thanks to her, I wasn’t lonely. I was able to live as a good child because Rilisha believed in me.

Avoiding the eyes of the baroness, the two of them would sleep together on days when the emperor was away. I know now that I didn’t actually avoid it, but I thought so when I was younger.

Instead of being like sisters, they grew up as real sisters, just not related by blood.

I can’t do anything to break her heart. Even if your heart breaks into pieces, you can never do it.

Wang Wang, while she was crying, someone’s hand wrapped around her shoulder.

I haven’t seen it, but I know who it is. Except for Tyra, there is only one person coming here.

“Well done, Tyra. You’re great. Truly, the best child I’ve ever taught, the greatest daughter.”

The baroness said in a friendly voice and patted her on the back.

Tyra hugged her body and cried even louder.

Levin proposed marriage when Tyra was fifteen.

[I put the emperor first. There are a lot of messy things to do. I do menial things of a kind that neither the Emperor nor the Empress, nor you know about. I don’t think a normal woman can stand it.]

Levin, who was so lucky, looked a little scared unlike usual.

[But you love the emperor, so no matter what I do, you won’t be hurt. How about marrying me? After all, you too must get married someday. I have to live with someone other than Your Majesty. Wouldn’t it be better to be my wife and live as a comrade than to endure it?]

I accepted the offer without thinking twice.

At twenty, Tyra becomes Levin’s wife. And she will continue to live as the empress’ maid. A slightly sad, very happy lady-in-waiting.
