The Abandoned Empress Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224

“A visitor is here to see you, my lady.”

“Guest? Who?”

“She is Lady Jena.”

I frowned to hear that.

Why is Jiun here? Is it because of what happened at the eting yesterday?

Granted that, why did she co here without any notice?

After she returned, I initially felt she was more cultured than before, but she was not.

Given her behavior at the recent title succession ceremony at the Mirwa family’s house and her abrupt visit today, she was rude.

As I was about to stand up in a bit of an annoying mood, I sat down again, smiling at him.

“Well, butler, it would be polite for to co straight down there as I have the guest here, but I’m so busy right now. I’m afraid I can’t see her right now.”

“Oh, I see. You seem to be very busy in my eyes. You’ve got too much work on your plate.”

“Yes, I do.” When I replied with a big smile, a smile ca on the blunt butler’s face.

He and I laughed happily, looking at my clean desk without any paperwork to handle at the mont. He was quick-witted enough to grasp my intention.

“Tell a maid to convey her a ssage that I’ll be coming down soon. In the anti, butler, why don’t you play chess with ? Strangely enough, I would like to play chess, starting yesterday. ”

“It’s a good idea, my lady.”

Isn’t it polite to respond to soone’s rudeness with the sa rudeness?

I stood up from my seat only after winning three tis in a row. I giggled in spite of myself.

By now, she must be very much annoyed.

After laying down the queen next to the white king standing alone, I touched the crown-shaped tiara on the queen’s head and headed to the parlor.

“I see you often these days, Lady Jena. Didn’t I see you only ten days ago? ”

“… You must have been very busy, Lady Monique.”

“Yes. As you know, I have a lot of work to do all the ti.”

After instructing the knights nervously pacing up and down the parlor to stay away, I looked at her again after confirming that the parlor door was closed.

Jiun stopped smiling at out of courtesy and said, raising her eyebrows, “You kept waiting on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Do you think I’m so free and leisurely? It’s a bad habit to apply your own standard to others arbitrarily. ”

“Are you kidding ?”

“You had better be more careful. You seem to be mistaken. You’re now in my house.

I knew you were very clumsy in showing due manners, but your words and deeds these days really make feel displeased.”

“I am not here to argue with you over trifling things. And I don’t want to talk with you for a long ti. Let get to the point. What did you do to ?”

“What did I do to you? Dang it, you really don’t understand what I said to you. I’m very annoyed by the way you speak to . Got it?”

Given that she, who was so hostile to , ca to visit in person, it was evident that she ca here on urgent business. I wondered why she ca, but the more I dragged my feet, the more impatient she would be. So, it would be definitely better for to stall ti as much as possible.

Looking at smiling at her in a leisurely manner, she clenched her teeth and said, “Don’t beat around the bush. I’m talking about what happened at the eting yesterday. ”

“I hear they dealt with a lot of agendas at the eting yesterday. Which agenda are you talking about?”

“Are you kidding ? I’m talking about the agenda of the empress! You wouldn’t say you didn’t hear it, right?”

“Oh, I’ve heard about that. So what?”

“What did you do to make our faction mbers support you as the empress, not ?”

“I have no idea. That’s what I want to ask. ”

I see. Obviously, the noble faction raised the empress issue without Jiun’s agreent in advance. In fact, there was no possibility for her to give up the position of the empress because she said she ca back to beat . The Jena family who valued the family pedigree more than anything else or their successor would not have accepted her from the bottom of their hearts, and they would not have told her that the pro-emperor faction was trying to make the best use of her weakness.

“Why are you asking about the matter of your faction? Are you not trusted enough to grasp what’s going on in your faction?””

“…Isn’t it the sa to you? Every ti you’re being played into the hands of your faction for their interests or the interests of your family, right?”

“Hey, stop it if you want to distract with that kind of cheap trick. At the very least, I’ve got a full grasp of what’s going on in our faction. Don’t treat like you.”

“Okay, okay. I never thought you’d talk about it anyway, but let get this straight.”

“Go ahead!”

“Who do you think you are? You said you’d withdraw your na from the candidate for the empress, right? Why did you retract your promise? Why didn’t you refuse it out of hand? Are you still attached to that position?”

I let out a deep sigh. How good would it be if everything was as simple as she said?

Staring at fiercely when I kept silent, Jiun said, as if she was dumbfounded, “Are you crazy? Are you still attached to that position when you suffered so much? Did you forget what he had done to you in the past just because he looked a bit different these days?”

“What are you talking about?”

“He forcibly had sex with you, killed your father, ruined your family, and aborted your baby. He is the man who killed you. Nonetheless, do you still like him? Are you out of your mind?”

“… Well, don’t you know you were also partly responsible for that? Why are you talking to like that at this point?”

“Sure, let admit I’m also responsible, but at least I know his true personality.”

Confessing bitterly, she leaned her back on the sofa with her arms crossed.

Crossing her legs, she opened her mouth, while pretending to stay calm, “Whenever I see you, I feel you are as stupid as you were in the past. You may feel that you have changed, but to , you haven’t changed at all, compared to the old you. Well, how can I express it? Oh, you don’t have any discerning eye for a man. To be honest with you, you like to see only what you want to when it cos to your lover.”

“So, what do you want to say to ?”

“Are you curious about the true colors of that man that you love so much? Don’t you want to know what happened after you died? ” she asked, sweeping up her black hair.

Red lips curled into a smile on her face. Trying to calm down my nausea, I asked casually, “His true colors?”

“Don’t you rember you told this the other day? You asked if I was not still satisfied when I took away your love, honor, position and everything else, right?”

“Yes, I clearly told you so. So what?”

It was obvious, but what was she talking about?

“Love? Are you kidding? Do you think the love he is whispering to your ears will last forever? It lasted only four years for . He’s made such a big fuss about it for that short period of ti.”

As if she was very upset at the re thought of his love in the past, she swept up her hair hysterically and said, “He turned his back to after four years when he said he loved so much. Although I tried my best to love him, he always compared with you. Ha, isn’t it funny? Although he hated you so much, did all kinds of bad things to you and even killed you with his own hands, he missed you so much. ”

“… What the heck are you talking about? ”

“You know how much he hated you back then, right? He looked very happy for so ti after you died because not only you, a pain in the neck, and the two dukes who bothered him too much disappeared, but he seed to miss you after killing you. He began to miss you at so point.”

She began to raise her voice higher and higher.
