Unlike the Queen's castle, which has no knight in sight, the King's Palace is no joke at all. Although there are several knights guarding and patrolling the area, the people hiding and almost completely concealing their presence in the shadows are watching the king's palace closely. I can't really determine whether or not they are a guard, a spy, or an assassin who is just waiting for the right timing. It seems I will have a hard time sneaking inside the palace to go to the cradle."How insolent. He simply does not respect the ministry. This is why we should convince the King about the arrangement of her harem system. It should be Sir Anthony who deserves the title of Consort Queen, not that bastard."Or not? In which I thought I'd have a hard time, I actually am very lucky to have these gossip girls that freely go in and out of the palace to become my precious object of the plan. I should say that with the basic knowledge I have back in my world and my good for nothing lying skills, there are going to be quite a handful.Before they could eventually go inside the gate of the palace, I immediately took my cloak and mask off and hid them in the bushes. Luckily, while I was about to head out of our old castle a while ago, I saw the magic potions rolling over from the ground. It was the potion that we used to change our hair and eye color.Carefully, I put a small drop of the potion in my eyes and on my hair, and using the reflection from my dagger, I saw myself changing."But this isn't enough," I said to myself, almost whispering. Looking around my surroundings, I saw traces of what looked like a small bonfire, which gives me an idea.I quietly walk towards the bonfire and pick up a small piece of charcoal. I remembered watching the Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra, on television in the hospital, where she would wear eyeliner using charcoal. As I watched myself through my dagger, I put a dark-winged eyeliner on my upper eyelid and onto my lower eyelid, making me look more like an emo than like Cleopatra. Beyond my eyelids, I extended and created a long and slender, triangle-shaped eyeliner. I also put a beauty mark below my left eye.Since I don't really have any other clothes or accessories to make me look different, I just put my hair in a slick-back style. As soon as I was done preparing myself, I tried to relax myself and imitate the composition of Duke Carlisle. Once again, I'll be birthing another identity of mine. If I can be a mysterious little lady who killed a demonic beast, then maybe a nosy new writer and investigator would suit me right now. Let's see how this goes."Pardon me, honorable ladies," I called out, changing my tone higher and more playful as I emerged from the shadows. But as expected, the knights with them quickly blocked me on the spot and pointed their swords into my face. Sure enough, I could feel my hands trembling. I was not as confident as before when the Chardonnay guild member pointed at me with a sword because I knew I had the chance to not get hurt, but this one is different.A stranger dressed so casually and wearing very strange makeup would totally make them suspicious and hostile towards me. To make sure they didn't notice my trembling hands, I bowed my head down and completely ignored the swords pointing at me."How brave of you to approach us. Do you know who we are!?"One of the ladies yelled in anger. Obviously, I don't know any of them, nor do I want to know who they are; I simply want to use them for my plan.As I lift my head to meet their eyes, I can feel my jaw clenched in anger. I can see their hypocritical and judging eyes that are clearly looking down on me. If they only knew that the one they are looking for is the child of the Queen, they would have no choice but to bow down to me lower than I did to them.An idea brought a mischievous smile to my lips because people like them love to be praised and fed more pride and ego. "Of course, I know just who you are, my ladies. I know that you are truly the one who rules this enormous and magnificent kingdom."Spreading my arms as if I had wings, I have commenced the dramatic act. And just like that, the fools started to fall from my pit. One of them commanded the knights to lower their swords."Make yourself known," the same lady asked. It seems out of the four of them, she has more power, which means she should be my target."Greeting honorable ladies, the true ruler of this kingdom. I am Rore, a distinguished writer who speaks nothing but the truth, and I am here to get to know this interesting information about the Queen's adoption of the other concubine's child. How amusing, isn't it, Madame? ""You knew about that? How come? ""Yes, because I am nosy and am willing to risk my life to know the truth. The citizens of this kingdom deserve to know the truth, and I know I can only obtain it from you ladies.""I personally don't like his majesty, the Consort Queen," I added."Are you perhaps that mysterious writer of the Louvre publication? "Oh, so there's someone like that here too. As graceful as the curtsy of Duke Carlisle, I bobbed a curtsy to them, which is even more honorable than just bowing down. This is the most formal greeting only done to the King, Queen, and Crown Princess of this kingdom.It didn't take too long to convince the ladies about my intention of approaching them. In fact, they even invited me to have a drink at their office inside the King's palace."I can't imagine," I said, staring at the red, swirling wine in my glass. How should I describe this? Maybe you like the painting of the Mona Lisa? Picasso won't be amused by so much painting and architectural design inside the King's palace, as it was too religious and the style was sfumato.When I got the chance to glimpse into the main hall of the palace, it was definitely glistening. It was as if the palace were filled with diamonds and rubies. However, me and the ladies in front of me right now went to the other side of the palace to get inside, which I thought was quite annoying since I couldn't look inside the palace nor could I get to walk and see the beauty of the central pavilion of the palace. I was instead very surprised to get a glimpse of the cradle.Yes, the motherfoxing cradle that I have been itching to go to. But as of this moment, I am stuck entertaining and feeding these hungry power ladies with ego."Did you say something, Rore? ""Oh yes, I said I couldn't imagine what would happen if her majesty, the King, didn't have you guys. Imagine being all playful and naïve about reigning in the biggest, most powerful kingdom." I winked at them. The room was filled again with their filthy laugh, and I could use that very opportunity to go to the window and throw the wine in my glass, as I am feeling a bit tipsy already."Listen, ladies. How about we call it a night? Gorgeous ladies like yourselves should be taking a beautiful rest," I said, my voice softening."You are very wise at using the sweet words of the beautiful mouth of yours." The only blonde lady of their group who has been silently observing me all along has finally lost her composure. She sure is drunk now, considering how she can freely touch me."Oh dear, look at Agnes. She's harassing the young lady again.""And I should probably go. I am electrified with the thought of writing fresh and interesting news about his majesty." I slowly recoiled at her touch, making sure I didn't make her notice or be offended."How about you and I go back to my chambers, hm? "As much as I wanted to kick her away, I could not afford to risk my chances of staying here. And as much as I am aware of my sexual orientation, I still have my very own preference."I apologize, Rore, for her bad behavior. Please understand that even a woman can desire another woman, especially one as beautiful as you are. Am I right, Estrella? "Madame Estrella, who is my one and only target, supposedly didn't react that much. She instead rose up from her seat and walked towards us. She suddenly grabbed me by my shoulder and leaned closer to my ear."Won't you give yourself a chance to prove yourself to us and indulge in pleasure at the same time? I still need to talk to you tomorrow, and it would be an annoyance to look for you, Ms. Rore," she whispered.Does she want to have sex with this woman? I can feel my hands trembling in anger rather than in fear. She dared to say that to me. I sure am beautiful, but I am definitely not a whore.I didn't waste any more time or bother answering her. I took this blonde woman's wine glass and mine to the nearest table and carried her in bridal style without any hesitation."Oh my! ""Only a fool would turn down the wonderful invitation, right ladies? "I said as I wore a playful smile and tried my best to mask my disgust toward this heavy woman."Goodness, I didn't expect you to be so strong. I'm already thinking twice about snatching you away from Lady Agnes." The lady who apologized to me about this woman's behavior said, which means she is most probably gay too."It's too late, lady Celine. Let Rore and Agnes enjoy the night.""Have a pleasurable night, you two," Madame Estrella added."I will also excuse myself, Madame Estrella. Lady Agnes is too drunk to guide Ms. Rore back to her chamber. Let me be the one to guide her."The last lady of the four gossip girls, who has been silent all along and does not bother joining the conversation unless asked to, stood up from her seat and went straight ahead of us. She even opened the door for us. I saw Madame Estrella nod to us. We leave the two and walk quietly through the dim hallway.We were silent throughout our way to the room, except for this blonde woman. She keeps kissing me and moaning silently, as if praising herself as I carry her."She's way too drunk. I bet she won't even remember what we are going to talk about right now," she said, breaking the silence between the two of us."From which section are you? ""What?""The publication, from which section are you? And are you truly going to sleep with her?"
