I was shocked to see the scene. This act was too cruel. All this started from the owner of this body who likes to find concubines. It would be better if this problem was resolved soon.
"Hom?"
The youth who was on the edge yawned. Two soldiers then walked towards him. I want to give orders to them not to be violent again. A punch was aimed at the stomach but was blocked. The young man brought his face close to the ear of one of the soldiers.
"It turns out that the abilities of the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom are only like this."
A sneer escaped his mouth. Everyone looked at the young man's face. They know that if they insult the kingdom, they will get the death penalty. It seemed that the young man was not afraid that he would be executed.
"How arrogant you lowly youth. Don't you know the result of what you said?"
"I will be executed. This is better than living a life of humiliation."
"Then that's what you want. We will not hesitate to do so."
I turned my face towards Karol who answered the challenge from the young man. The young man was already acting like a madman. If Karol said that it wasn't the same as the young man. I have to prevent it. The Empress walked over to the youth who was still standing at the end.
"It seems that you really don't like me. May I know the reason?"
"Reason…"
The young man clenched his fists. His face was still down but I could tell he was holding his anger.
"Who wants to be the concubine of the one who destroyed his Kingdom? You'd better execute me immediately."
"How presumptuous of you to speak to Her Majesty like that."
Karol put the tip of his sword against the young man's neck. I immediately grabbed Karol's hand.
"Stop it Karol! I don't want bloodshed in the Harem Palace."
As per the queen's orders. Karol then lowered his sword. I then went back to talking to the young man.
"I don't want to kill you. Can you say your name?" I asked the young man with a smile.
"Why don't you want to kill me?"
"Be polite to Her Majesty."
Karol brandished his sword again. I then answered the young man's question.
"You want to know why I don't want to kill you. First, I really don't want to do it. Second, because you are my concubine. Now I want you to tell me your name."
"I am the King of Swift. Ruler of the Northeast Kingdom. Five years ago your father destroyed the Northeast Kingdom and killed my family. On the day of my coronation I became King. At that time I should have been killed but why did you beg your father to take me as a concubine."
The young man let out his anger. I was surprised after hearing his explanation. So this is why he wants to be executed. Being the concubine of the child who destroyed her kingdom was an insult. For five years the young man had suffered. Maybe it's better if I have to ease his sadness immediately. He deserves that too.
"King Swift. From today onwards I will relinquish your concubine title and you may leave the Northern kingdom."
"What is your real aim?" The young man asked me as if I had a purpose.
Even though I entered the body of the Empress but my soul is that of a 21st-century girl. We have no personal grudges. I don't want to be a cruel woman either.
"Don't you hate me? I can't have a husband who doesn't even want to look me in the face."
I then turned around. It was very late at night. Tomorrow there will be a ministerial meeting. After a few footsteps walked out of the Harem. The boy shouted at me.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
This young man is not easy to understand. I've released him but he's still mad at me.
"Don't you want revenge on me because the previous king destroyed your kingdom and killed all your family members? If you want to kill me. The first thing is that you must be free from this kingdom."
After saying that I then left. The young man was still standing rooted to the spot. There was a look of disappointment on his face. Inside his heart also seemed to be hurt. I went back into the room. The day I experienced was very long. Having a harem is very tiring. Every time you have to carry out the task of being an empress. Not only that. We should also pay attention to the twenty concubines. A few days after the incident. The harem is back on the mend. I also got a letter from one of the concubines who is now the King of the South.
"He wanted me to attend his coronation."
Lady Yun smiled while bathing me in milk. Taking a shower after finishing a piled-up task is excellent. I feel my feelings are getting better.
"It would be best if Her Majesty attended. The crown prince is the first young man to serve the Empress."
"What did you say earlier?"
"Forgive the servant who dared to say it."
Lady Yun was frightened. He was afraid of making the Empress angry. I saw her whole body shaking. Her face was also very pale.
"You are not wrong. I was just shocked after listening to it."
The first time I was in this body I told lies. Lady Yun only knew that the Empress had lost her memory. Those words might sound embarrassing. The next day I got bad news. The bridge in the Mist region had collapsed. I felt something suspicious. The area is experiencing a drought. How can the bridge collapse when there is neither wind nor rain?
"It seems that this incident was premeditated."
That voice belonged to Duke Magnus. I then lifted my face and looked at him.
"It is better for the Duke to enter this room by informing in advance."
"Your Majesty does not like servants. If I ask for permission, Your Majesty will definitely refuse."
Duke Magnus then sat down on the chair opposite me. I then frowned. The expression on my face that doesn't like him is very visible.
"I came here because I wanted to help Your Majesty to solve this problem."
Those words sounded like a request that I could distinguish between our problems and the interests of the people. This problem must be resolved immediately. If this is indeed the work of some people who want to make a mess. They must have prepared a plan. The worst thing is if the people are affected until a rebellion occurs. The Northern Kingdom was a peaceful country. But these countries have a great difference in status. The nobility and the people were far from each other. This weakness is so exploited by a group of people who don't like me. Duke Magnus has the ability in government he can embrace their two statuses with his advantages. The Duke's blood is a mix of nobles and commoners. I then sighed.
"Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know it yet. Please give orders to the servant to come to the territory." Duke Magnus said it in a firm and confident tone.
