"Milady, milady! His majesty is here! Milady, wake up. You need to get ready" someone said while shaking me.
"Hmmm~ I need more sleep~" I said and covered myself with the comforter.
"But milady, please wake up" she said.
I scrambled to get up from my bed and rubbed my eyes.
"What is that jerk doing in here?" I lazily said.
"Ahhhh! It seems like he has business with my lady" Ellena said.
I grabbed my comb and brushed my hair.
"My lady, you must to your indoor dress. You cannot go out wearing your night gown!" She said panicking.
"I don't want to!" I said and ran out of my tent.
I saw Lionel sitting comfortably while sipping tea. He even brought a girl here.
"Greetings, your majesty" I said and bowed.
He looked at me and was surprised when he saw what I was wearing.
"Have you lost your dignity for you to wear your night gown in front of these many people?" he asked.
"It's their fault to get aroused by my beauty. Woman should be allowed to wear whatever they want" I said and sipped tea.
"Y-your majesty" the girl on his chest trembling said.
I looked at the woman and what the hell?
"It's seems that your majesty is quite dimwitted" I said
"What did you just say?" He asked
"Didn't you read contract? I have written that a rotten rat like that isn't allowed to be here, no?"
"Beatrice have insisted to come here because she's still trembling from what happen to her yesterday at night" he said.
"Then, lady Beatrice is the dimwitted one. Perhaps that Emperor already told lady Beatrice about our agreement? If not, then his majesty is the dumb one" I said.
"You've gone quite ill mannered these days" he said.
"Thank you" I said
Why do I have to waste my time with this Wilford guy?
"Bring him out" he said which made me confused.
They brought a man who is badly beaten.
"I'm sorry my lady! I have failed you! Please spare me!" The guy suddenly said and begged.
Who is this man?
"Tell me what did Lady Louisa ordered you to do to Lady Beatrice" his majesty said
"M-My lady ordered me to assassinate Lady Beatrice last night. She have told me I should infiltrate the palace yesterday since she will be bringing men to renovate her mansion" he said.
"Ha, I thought that you have already reflected from what you did to lady Beatrice but you have gone too far now, Louisa" Wilford said.
Beatriced sobbed so Wilford comforted him. What a perfect couple, both are dumb
"Her ladyship have sent me a letter few months ago stating her scheme to kill lady Beatrice" the guy said.
"Insolence, did the Emperor allowed you to speak?" I asked.
"Let him speak whatever he wants! You have commited serious crime before, I don't think I could still go easy on you for this matter!" His majesty said angrily.
"Okay then, I would like to speak for myself. Allow me to share my side, your majesty" I said and he nodded.
"So you said that I hired you right? If it's assassinating, I would have paid for it. How much did I gave you? And when did I gave you the payment?" I asked.
"I-It's about 2,000 daler. You gave me the money a day before yesterday. You have sent your maid to give it your payment"
"Ha~ so you are saying that Lady Beatrice's life worth 2,000 daler? That's quite.... cheap, isn't?" I said.
I saw Beatrice clenched her fist which made satisfactory to my day.
"I-I... My lady have also promised me to give a plenty amount of daler if I have succeeded to my mission"
"So you are saying that the 2,000 daler is just the downpayment?" I asked.
"Y-yes"
"My my~ I must be so rich" I said while smirking.
I told Ellena to get something from me which will clear my name here aswell.
This dimwitted b*tch tried to set a trap on me again. How pitiful, does she think I am Louisa? Who cannot defend herself when the Emperor accuses her?
"You said that I have sent you a letter before right?"
"Yes, my lady wrote a letter for me regarding with the assassination she wanted"
"Can you show me the letter then?" I asked.
Of course, he can't show anything since everything is fake.
"We have a strict rule to burn the letter that we recieve from our client to avoid conflict" he said sweating.
I looked at Beatrice and smiled. What will you do now? I still have card up my sleeve.
"Milady, here's the thing that you wanted" Ellena said.
As expected, there might be someone who spies on Louisa before and reported everything that she does.
And about the money, I haven't told anyone except for Ellena and Veronica about me having my allowance again.
I also don't think that his majesty will tell it to other people since it is not that important.
I was glad that I have already regained some of the memories of Louisa.
"This letter, have been sent by his highness, Ezekiel Zion. Are you telling me that you are him?" I asked him again.
The guy was trembling in fear while Beatrice and Wilford seemed so shock.
"The Archduke have sent me a letter after knowing I was stripped from title. He gave this letter to my brother who went back to the Capital after knowing my situation. Indeed, I have sent a letter to someone, but that someone was the Archduke. Are you trying to steal his identity, my cute little assassin?" I asked and looked down on him like a villainess.
"I... I..." he cannot come up with ang excuses anymore.
"My my~ I remember that you said I have paid you 2,000 daler a day before yesterday right? Where would I get such large ampunt of money if my allowance was cut off for 5 months? It is indeed I have received my allowance back but the amount of it is not what it actually like before. In fact it is..." I smiled at Beatrice and looked back at guy on the ground trembling.
"2,000 riel.." I added.
What is this, a child's play? Cling to your savior as much as you want, Beatrice. Soon, he will get tired of uou and tossed you out.
"Oh my~ my brother will also be pissed if he heard that an assassin was disguising himself as a worker from Count George's business. My brother especially chose Count George to help renovate my house. I don't know what will brother will do" I said worriedly.
I like seeing their faces being scared to death.
"What should we do, your majesty? First, he slandered a royalty, second, he have claimed that he was the Archduke, third, he tried to assassinate lady Beatrice. I wonder who have sent you here, though? Don't worry, I'll try to ask my big brother to help look into this matter since his beloved sister have been accused" I said and smiled.
"Y-your majesty, I don't feel well... Can we go back now?" Beatrice said.
Of course you wouldn't feel well. If mg big brother will look into this matter, your whole life will be in ruin.
"I-It's.... It's lady Beatrice's servant who have ordered me! Emma told me to assassinate Lady Beatrice and put all the blame to Lady Louisa. Emma have been talking ill behind Lady Beatrice back all this time" the guy said which made me shocked.
Emma, she's the most loyal servant of Beatrice. Why would this stupid rat dragged her name?
"Your majesty! T-this man said was all true... I have been jealous of my lady since the very beginning.. I deserve to die!" Emma said.
What a loyal dog. She is willing to sacrifice her life for the sake of her owner.
"E-Emma... How can you do this to me... I treated you like my own sister..." she said and cried again.
This is too boring too watch. Do I still have to be here? I already cleared my name.
"I'm sorry my lady~ please forgive me...." Emma said and cried too.
"I hope his majesty will give them the punishment that they deserved" I said.
(I grabbed a cup of tea and pour it on Emma.
"How ugly of you" I said.) Ha~ If only I could do that to her.
Now, how does it feel like to lose someone important to you, Beatrice?
His majesty stood up carrying Beateice on his arms.
It not like she's injured of something. What a drama queen.
"Louisa, if you ever attempt something to Beatrice like before, I will not forgive you" he said.
"Well, you see your majesty, I'm not interested to you or something. And honestly speaking, I'd rather choose someone like my Arshan's beauty" I said while showing off how handsome our Arshan.
Tall, black and handsome. All girls will be heads over heels to him later on. I will make sure to make him stand out even more.
All my servants must be good looking like their master.
"Insolence! How can you compare his majesty to a lowly born servant like him?!" His knight said.
Ohh~ this was the knight who was guarding his office when we went there before. I though he was always calm.
"Lock.... lock her in this area. She will not be allowed to go outside the palace nor enter the palace before the new year banquet!" His majesty furiously said and walked out.
"Take care, your majesty!" I said and waved my hand.
I don't want to be involved with him nor the imperial palace anymore.
I just want to live the rest of mg life freely and happily.
"M-my lady, that scared me! I thought I was going to die! T-T" Arshan said.
"Idiot, as if I would let them do that" I said and smiled.
In this life, I will rise from the top with my goddess beauty and talent like in my modern life.
I will make those arrogant nobles to bow their heads and worship my goddess beauty.
I will make sure to capture their hearts and turn them into a loyal dogs.
