The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

(70)

author’s words

Forgive me for being late. It’s a bit late because I modified the settings a little.

**

As the internal setting changed, the part of making it a co-emperor changed. Not co-emperor, but just emperor. Sorry for the confusion.

**

When the princess first appears, she is 5 years old.

However, at the end, when Reynolds speaks, Rudy is 10 years old and the princess is 8 years old.

＜ Lu’s Magic ＞

* * *

The empress was a decent person as an empress.

He takes good care of his surroundings and supports the emperor well.

Even if the emperor had many concubines and loved them, he well understood that this was what the imperial family needed.

When the concubines gave birth to children, they congratulated them, gave gifts, and gave advice about the children’s future.

Although he did not participate in state affairs, he was good at making his own allies, and he noticed the important things in conversations with foreign ambassadors and wives, and helped the emperor several times.

I think that she has done well as empress until now.

But it’s not just Nadiagra. I couldn’t allow it and I became emotional.

It seems that the empress disliked her from the first time she saw her.

Nadiagra, a young girl, was put in the most remote part of the building where the forgotten concubines lived, and even banned from appearing at banquets or tea parties attended by the concubines because of her age.

That is why Nadiagra was never seen by the Emperor until she became an adult.

Even if the emperor favored Nadiagra, the empress herself would know better than anyone else that she was not someone who would fall for a woman and neglect state affairs or ignore the empress.

But why was he so anxious? Reynolds didn’t know the empress’ feelings.

“…”

Reynolds headed for the concubine with the seal entrusted to him by the emperor in his bosom.

In the imperial palace where there is no emperor, the person with the highest status is the empress. No one could stop her when she tried to do something.

In preparation for such a case, the emperor entrusted Reynold with full authority over the imperial palace affairs and left.

The concubine is the world of the empress, but at the same time it is within the country ruled by the emperor.

Under no circumstances can the emperor’s authority be violated.

‘But I don’t want to use this.’

If the circumstances had to be, the emperor would kill the crown prince without hesitation. It doesn’t matter if it’s the crown prince, the prince, or the princess.

However, the emperor does not want to kill his own son, even if he did not say it out loud.

It’s something I have to do, but I don’t feel like doing it.

I didn’t want to keep the empress in confinement somewhere for the rest of my life.

I hoped that my long-time comrade, Jo Kang-ji, would accept the situation and live a quiet life.

If you do that, the empress will live and die as an empress.

Even if the crown prince becomes the deposed crown prince, even if Princess Lilitha becomes the future empress, Nadiagra does not become the empress. She lives quietly as a mere concubine.

So, the empress just had to let go of her pride and greed.

However, what would happen if he took out this seal and learned that the emperor had pressed himself for Nadiagra?

Judging from her actions so far, the empress would be furious. I will definitely try to get rid of Princess Nadia and Lilitha.

During the time of Prince Enrico, the emperor once closed his eyes.

The maid who killed the prince was originally a person who took care of the emperor’s personal affairs. Because he believed it, he kept it close to Nadiagra.

But when a woman gets married, her situation changes. As a result of a secret investigation, there was a problem with her poetry collection. Although it was not revealed outwardly, it seems that there was coercion from the empress among the shaggy.

Assuming that the prince died because he did not take proper measures, the emperor did not reveal the incident and just covered it up.

Anyway, Enrico is dead. doesn’t come alive

In that situation, it was judged that making a noise by exposing the empress’s faults would do more harm than good.

However, I think that the truth is that he did not want to kill the empress.

Reynolds clicked his tongue and ordered the driver to hurry. Unlike usual, the wagon rattled and ran noisily.

‘I made Prince Enrico’s work a thing that never happened…’

the second one doesn’t

If the empress tried her hand this time, the emperor would eliminate the empress with the feeling of standing on a precipice he could not retreat from.

“Hurry up!”

By the time he urged the coachman once again, Nadia Grabi’s residence finally appeared.

The Empress Mama’s ladies-in-waiting had come before.

Since they are women of a very high status, the nanny insisted that they should never go against them.

Whether it was a countess or a princess from a duke’s family in another country, they were said to be of high rank.

When I asked if he was higher than Bhimama, he had a hard time answering, but it seemed like he couldn’t go against Bhimama anyway.

When the empress’ lady-in-waiting arrived, Marie quickly left the mansion and headed towards the cattle shed in the backyard.

Originally, it is said that slaves should not live in the house. When I asked why, the nanny replied that she was a slave.

weird.

Why can’t slaves stay in the house?

Is Marie always at home?

When I kept questioning her like that, the nanny turned blue and said that if I said such things in front of the empress or the ladies-in-waiting, it would be a big deal, and that I should never say that.

If you say such a thing, Marie will be immediately dragged away and beaten so many times that she will never come back to this mansion.

It was so strange that I tried to ask again, but Marie was trembling so I didn’t say.

Instead, I thought to myself, I should ask him when he comes to rescue Lu.

When I was young, I used to run out with only two stones every time.

Each time he was caught by a servant. I called them Dirty Eyes back then, but now I know they are servants. nanny taught me

Time passed, and by the time I was able to pronounce Lou as Rudy, I knew I couldn’t get to Lou with just two rocks.

The outside of this mansion is vast.

It is so vast that it takes many days to find Lou.

Ever since I found out about it, I have been secretly hiding bread and beef jerky in the garden. After a long time, something strange happens and it rots. If you leave it near the fence, chickens and ducks will come and eat it, or bugs will eat it.

While throwing it away and hiding it again, the food kept growing, and now there is so much that I can’t carry it with my hands.

So I’m a bit worried.

Oh, and of course I also hid two clothes.

I wish I had brought a blanket, but it’s too big. Lilitha You can’t carry it with your hands.

But it’s okay.

The magic Lou gave to Lilitha helps.

When it’s cold because there’s no blanket, the magic will warm you up, and when it gets dark, you’ll light up.

So, all Lilitha has to do is prepare food and find a way to escape without being noticed by the attendants.

I haven’t found the road yet, but I think I’ll figure it out soon. Yesterday I went a little far from the mansion, but the attendant didn’t follow me.

Now all you have to do is pack food, clothes and stones in your bag.

So Marie, wait.

I’ll bring Lou.

and I will ask Why is Marie a slave? Why can’t I tell you that Marie lives in the house…

Until then, Lilitha never said anything. Don’t tell anyone about Marie. Nor does it say that Marie sleeps in the mansion, eats at the same table, and sometimes burps and smells weird. because it’s a secret

But it wasn’t about Marie that the Empress Mama’s ladies-in-waiting came this time to ask.

It’s about Lilitha.

A maid with a pointed nose and eyes as thin as earthworms stood in front of Lilitha and asked.

“Are you Princess Lilitha?”

She was the woman the nanny had taught her to be the Countess.

He said that this woman was the scariest person.

A long time ago, the nanny said that her back hurt from being hit by this woman.

‘Should I hit you?’

Risha thought for a moment.

If someone hits you, you have to hit them. Otherwise, it is looked down upon. After being looked down upon by the duck long ago, Lilitha had to be chased by him for a while.

But the next moment, the countess and maid nodded and stepped back.

I thought he noticed that he was about to hit me, but suddenly other maids came forward and grabbed Lilitha’s arms.

The Countess, the maid, opened the worm’s eyes more narrowly and said.

“The Empress has invited you to a tea party. Go away for a while.”

“…?”

When the ladies-in-waiting tried to take Lilitha away, the nanny pulled Lilitha in surprise.

“Forgive me, Countess! Princess Lilitha is still young.”

“Are you saying that our empress is doing something? What would our empress do with a princess born of a lowly concubine? I’m just trying to give my pitiful heart a cup of tea!”

The countess, the maid, glared at the nanny with fearful eyes. The nanny shivered and hugged Lilitha and continued to bend over to apologize.

“sorry. But the princess is only eight years old. There is not enough etiquette education to be invited to tea. Forgive me.”

“In that case, shouldn’t we go to the empress even more? He said he would personally teach a princess who had received only a humble education.”

The countess’ maid snorted.

I noticed that the nanny’s body was trembling as she held Rilisha.

That Countess is a bad person.

I didn’t forget the nanny’s request, but I was very angry.

Lilitha pushed her leg out and tucked it under the countess’ maid’s skirt. Tried to step on it.

But short! Your legs are short!

Lilitha’s feet couldn’t reach the center of the skirt as they bumped into the hard, round corset.

“dare! How dare you do such a vulgar thing! What kind of education were you given?”

The Countess’s maid waves her hand angrily.

She was about to be slapped on the cheek, but the nanny covered Lilitha with her body and avoided it.

But in the next moment, the women brought by the countess’ maid rushed in, took off the nanny, and seized Lilitha again.

Hearing the commotion, Bhimama, who was sleeping inside, came out. Bhimama must be higher than the countess and maid, but she doesn’t even bow her head. Didn’t even say hello.

The countess’ maid looked at Lilitha again with a cold face, then said, “Bring her to me,” and turned around.

The Countess’ subordinate women drag Lilitha out of the living room. I tried to hold out, but to no avail.

Bhimama was shouting in a thin voice.

Let go! let go! You can’t take that child. The child lives here.

The nanny has said many times that Bhimama is Ririsha’s mother, but it doesn’t seem like it either. Because Bhimama never called Ririsha her daughter.

Still, the thought that he was trying to help gave me a little strength.

Lilitha kicked at the woman who was dragging her.

It was only a skirt, but it seems to have worked. The woman who was dragging Lilitha by the right arm stumbled and fell.

Then the Countess, who was about to go out, turned around and approached her.

“You bastard! The Empress has decided to make me your etiquette teacher. It’s a week from now, but I can’t wait until then. I need to change your habits right now.”

The countess’s worm eyes, which had come right in front of Lilitha, were ripped apart, and her arms went up into the air.

That’s right!

As I thought so, the door burst open and an old attendant entered.

“What a commotion is this!”

“Chief of Staff!”

The Countess’ subordinate women quickly bowed on their knees.

But the countess didn’t look back and was about to strike her hand.

This time it really fits.

Rilisha closed her eyes tightly involuntarily.

It was then.

Suddenly, I felt a crack in Lilitha’s skirt.

It seems that the magic has entered Lilitha’s skirt.

And why are you angry?

Someone shouted “Ouch!”

The moment she opened her eyes for something, the Countess slanted and fell stiff. It was like a hard piece of wood that Marie had been axing from behind every day.

The Countess fell to the floor and trembled for a while. Eyes wide open.

scary.

The already noisy room was filled with screams and shouts, and people outside ran inside.

In the midst of the commotion, Lilitha opened her eyes wide and saw the edge of the countess’s skirt.

It was only for a short time, but it seemed that the magic was shining there and starting a small fire. I don’t know if it’s an illusion. It was too brief.

“…”

I must have looked at it wrong. Yes, yes.

Lu’s magic has never reached anyone other than Lilitha. It was only Rilisha who went near people. Whenever there were people, he was always hiding somewhere and quietly holding his breath.

The nanny pulled Lilitha and made her turn around. Lilitha buried her face in the tender nanny’s breast.

Inside the skirt, Lu’s magic clung to her legs creating a warm aura.

Only then did my body tremble and something frightening came at once.

“Wow!”

Cries break out. His own cries were mixed in with the noise of the people.

It was scary. I was really scared. It was the first time that it was so scary.

While she was crying, the attendants took the countess outside and the empress’ maids disappeared.

In the midst of the silence, Bhimama came over and hugged Nanny and Rilisha all at once.

Bimama also cries.

After a while, Marie also came in.

With Lilitha in the middle, the women gathered together and cried for a long time.
