Chapter 214.1
What was half hidden (2)
Maybe it was after hearing all the stories? I had the illusion that the blue light fluttering in those eyes seed to be longing for sothing all these tis.
Maybe it’s because of her gaze as if she had beco a completely different person from a few minutes ago. A heavy feeling of pressure weighed on .
“That’s why I need you, Lady. Please.”
The absolute person of this country pleaded with , who was only a Lady.
“Can’t you be my ally?”
It was different from the gazes of my roses so far, but her eyes nevertheless harbored a clear longing.
“Until now, I sohow suppressed this power with the tiara that the first Blue Rose had. I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult.”
“What do you want from ?”
“I want all the Roses that disturb this land to disappear.”
I took a breath. I clenched my fists, then extended them, quietly asuring the distance from to the Empress. I don’t know yet, but just in case she inflicted harm on .
“Did you know that the Roses includes and the Heads of the current Rose family?”
“Is that too difficult?”
I didn’t answer. Frustration crossed the Empress’s face.
“...... I’m sorry. That was a slip of the tongue.”
It seed that she had now realized the mistake she had made.
The face, which had been hard until now, collapsed surprisingly quickly. I was really surprised by what I was watching.
“Ha, as you can see, I am barely balancing. It wasn’t just my will.”
The Empress covered her eyes. A soft voice leaked from between her thinly open lips.
“Please, help .”
I widened my eyes.
“I don’t want to go crazy.”
Even my clenched fists slipped away at that voice. The Empress’s eyes, exposed between her fingers, fluttered.
“I’m not asking you to erase the Roses, just remove this power from .”
“.......”
“I don’t want to lose myself. I want to lead this country for a long ti as myself.”
“...... What can I do?”
“Go to Kambrakam.”
The Empress spoke in a slightly calr voice, showing she had co to her senses.
“Give the data about Kambrakam. If you go to Kambrakam, you can do it well enough.”
Unfortunately, it all ca down to one thing. Kambrakam. The place where I opened my eyes.
There, it was said that not only can Ricdorian’s life be restored to its original state, but also the Empress’ power can be removed.
I swallowed my breath as I looked at the woman sitting in that seat. The matter I’m going to talk about from now on seems to feel like I’ll have to hang my head on it, but I’ve decided to do it nonetheless.
“Is this the end of the story about the Blue Rose you told ?”
“Yes.”
“As expected, the Imperial Family didn’t have any data on the Blue Rose.”
“.......”
I didn’t avert my gaze.
“I don’t dare say anything to Your Majesty, the Empress of the Empire, but I do have one thing to say.”
“What?”
“You have so many great wishes from , what can Your Majesty do for ?”
I’m sorry for the beautiful Majesty, but I was a person who could draw a line with boldness and decisiveness to unfriendlies.
How could it be different than a child’s selfishness by suddenly appearing, throwing out a huge truth in an old-fashioned story, and half-forcibly asking for sothing? I know that she also has her own difficulties and wounds. However, this kind of thing was unwelco.
“You and the Grand Duke are allowed to go to Kambrakam.”
“We know this in return for the tiara we gave.”
“.......”
“The material you promised also ends with the story of the origins. Even this was a description of the Purple Rose. You said the information on the Blue Rose was ‘kept’. You lied to and the Grand Duke.”
“Is that so?”
“Everything about the Blue Rose is said to have long since disappeared, is that true?”
“Did Duke Domulit say that?”
I did not answer, but it seed to be a sufficient answer for the Empress.
“Not all are lies.”
While she admitted so of her lies, she also gave explanations.
“There are no records of the Blue Roses. I know the whispers of ghosts wandering around . I know this is useful.”
“You lied that there was a record.”
“Right. I can’t record a ghost’s words.”
“Then, apart from this, what can Your Majesty do for ?”
“I didn’t know there would co a day when I would be asked such a question as I live.”
I expected to get a scolding. For so reason, the Empress laughed slowly instead of getting angry.
“Well. Not bad. You must have sothing you want, so tell .”
Rather, I seed to welco this side even more.
She grinned. Her face, having regained her leisurely look, revealed a dignified light. At the sa ti, she looked as excited as a child.
“I can be proud that I know ‘roses’ better than anyone on this earth. All about the Blue Roses as well as other roses. Any questions? I can answer anything.”
Is this really true? I wondered if she was telling the truth or not. The scales tilted toward believing in the figure that had been begging before, please, take away this power.
“I want to reclaim the guardian deity of the Blue Rose that my brother had imprisoned, and restore Grand Duke Hernim’s lifespan in Kambrakam to its original state. But my brother’s abnormal obsession won’t let us alone.”
“So?”
I knew Chaser well. A beautiful but dangerous man with poison and thorns. He was a man who saw love and monopoly as the sa thing.
He didn’t seem to know my purpose yet, but....... Upon noticing trying to save Ricdorian, he might interfere with it at all costs. The woman’s eyes embraced .
“The essence of my power is similar to that of the Black Rose. So I know it well. That he will never give up on you.”
“Yes.”
“I promise, if we leave it like this, Duke Domulit will surely start a war. Do you already know?”
“.......”
That’s true. Indeed, the other Roses, Ricdorian, Francia, and Renag, also expected it. And I never wanted it. The Empress threw a solution.
“It would be best to kill the Black Rose and annihilate it from this world, but it is practically difficult, so there is no other way.”
The Empress said the cruel words calmly.
“Let’s make a Rose Festival.”
“What?”
Rose Festival. It was a familiar word. But not knowing that it would be ntioned here, I blinked. it. Isn’t this a legitimate fight between roses?
A fight, a war. When asked how to avoid war, she said go to war. What kind of contradiction is this? Is this person already half crazy? Such a reasonable doubt was rising.
