In Anne's mind, a ruler should be someone who understood the commoners the best...and that would be Lizeth.
"But, alas...you just ruined your reputation at the execution ground..."
Anne wiped her tears and lamented.
She didn't think that Isabella would be declared 'innocent'. Now, Lizeth became the one who suffered from this surprise!
Lizeth nodded at her mother and bit her lips, looking aggrieved.
"I also didn't think that she's declared innocent....I thought she's really evil. I just want to help the commoners at that time."
Lizeth is not evil. She's actually kind, because that's her character setting. But she's also innocent and naive.
She's not that smart. Her only good point is that she's kind, and can understand the commoners' hearts.
She's also humble and not arrogant.
But if this isn't a novel world, such a person couldn't be a ruler. It would be impossible for a ruler to be naive and innocent.
Isabella's type was actually more suitable, although she's still 'evil'....
Lizeth lowered her head and apologized to her mother.
"I'm sorry, mom. I'll try hard next time."
Lizeth and her mom, Anne, didn't have any backing in the castle.
That's why Lizeth had never been able to join the castle's official business to promote her rank or something.
She could only rely on her popularity with the commoners, thanks to her kindness when she helped the people in the slums.
Of course, Anne was the one who spread the rumor about her daughter to maintain Lizeth's image.
Even if Lizeth didn't have a good position, as long as the commoners loved her, it didn't matter.
"Sooner or later, that tyrant Isabella will receive her retribution." Anne patted Lizeth's shoulder and coaxed her.
"You don't need to be too anxious to punish Isabella. You don't have the power, anyway. But believe me, many commoners won't let Isabella keep being a tyrant."
Anne knew that a kingdom's strength actually came from its commoners.
The royal family might be all mighty and high, but when the commoners made a move, they could even dethrone the king or the queen!
"Sooner or later, someone will rebel, " Anne added.
They only had to wait until the day the commoners couldn't hold it back anymore and went to rebel against Isabella's regime.
Actually, Anne was correct.
The rebels had been enduring things for two years, and they had planned to rebel in a few days.
But Mariella's recent movement actually postponed the rebellion date and even changed the rebels' mindset.
If Mariella continued to do good deeds and fix the broken laws one by one, the commoners would also forget the previous evil deeds and would support her.
But Anne couldn't believe what happened at the execution ground.
She only knew that Isabella was a tyrant who liked to bully the weak!
Anne, as an ex-commoner, wished all the best for the commoners. But she knew nothing about politics, knew nothing about the country's real situation.
She only thought that Lizeth should be the queen instead of Isabella because Lizeth was kind and would side with the commoners.
The commoners would thrive if they had a queen like Lizeth, right?
Lizeth also thought the same thing. She wanted to be the queen to stop Isabella's evil deeds and help the commoners.
She had been roaming around the slums and knew that there were still many people suffering in this kingdom.
She wished she could change these people's fate, and the only way to do that was to be the queen.
"For now, keep maintaining your good image. We won't do anything to Isabella and can't, anyway. Just wait for an opportunity."
Anne believed that if Isabella died, the special ability would choose Lizeth as the next master, and Lizeth could become the new queen.
Even if the queen didn't know anything about politics, as long as the special ability chose her, she would still be the legitimate queen.
Just like how Isabella was crowned as the new queen when she was only three years old.
Lizeth nodded at her mom's words and continued to appease her mother.
"I'll keep helping the people at the slums and wait for an opportunity to fix my image among the commoners who came to the execution field."
Lizeth felt that they would misunderstand her intention. They might think that she's purposely slandering Isabella…
But it was all a misunderstanding, okay? She didn't know that Isabella was innocent!
Still, Anne and Lizeth didn't believe that all those bad things really had nothing to do with Isabella.
"The commoners might be fooled. There's no way such crooked regulations can be implemented without the queen's agreement. All of them need the queen's seal, right?"
Lizeth murmured to her mother, and Anne also agreed with Lizeth.
"This time, that tyrant is too cunning. She pushes all the blame to those corrupt people and relies on her young age to wash her sins clean."
Anne clicked her tongue and spoke about Isabella with eyes full of disdain.
Such a young kid yet was already so poisonous and toxic...must be inherited from her mother, the previous queen, right?
Anne had always been bullied by the people in the castle, and she believed that Isabella's mother was the true culprit behind all her sufferings.
Little did she know that the king was the one who made things difficult for her…
Anyway, the mother and daughter pair firmly believed that Isabella was evil, but everyone changed their minds after this incident, which wasn't good.
Anne hurriedly spoke to Lizeth and advised her.
"Liz, you should keep an eye on that tyrant and see if she will do any evil deeds. If she did, you can't be afraid, and you have to expose her. Understand?"
Anne wanted to spy on Isabella!
