Chapter 338: Chapter 337
Maybe that’s why I earnestly prayed that God would save her. Although I was offered the miracle of divine power, I earnestly begged God to save her, who I had been hating so much.
So, I wanted to ask her, who had the sa experience as mine, how she overca the sense of separation and empty feelings. But I didn’t ask her, after all.
“Hahaha…”
While laughing like that for a long ti, I suddenly noticed a glass bottle she left behind.
I slowly raised my body and approached the table. Then I slowly reached out and held the glass bottle. Shining brightly under the moonlight, it was very cold to the touch, like her eyes looking at .
“Did she say she didn’t want to see die…”
Considering what she told , it was highly likely that the bottle she left behind was poison.
Maybe she wanted to commit suicide by taking this instead of being humiliated in the presence of everybody. I thought she might have recalled her mories before her return. It was definitely not a pleasant mory.
When I recalled how she was executed before my return, I made a bitter smile.
She fixed her golden eyes on him without casting a glance at at all. Although she looked haggard because of her imprisonnt, she was confident and elegant until her last mont.
If I didn’t drink this bottle, it was clear that I would have the sa fate she did before my return. Of course, I was not sure if I could be as confident as her.
I still recalled how strongly her blood slled, and how sharply she stared at him.
I shuddered as if I slled the blood around . I wasn’t confident enough to die like her. I didn’t want to die miserably in the face of those laughing scornfully at as if I was a spectacle.
I never wanted to end my life like that.
What should I do? I tightened my grip on the bottle.
I wanted to die, but at the sa ti, I did not want to die. Since I lost the purpose of my return, I no longer wanted to live while I was hated in this strange world. I was sick and tired of living the kind of life that was despised and neglected by others.
But even so, I didn’t want to give up my life. Given that I returned to this world after regaining my life the hard way, I didn’t want to end my life miserably like this. Besides, I didn’t achieve anything that I wanted.
“Whew…”
When I was staring at the cold glass bottle hesitantly for a long ti, I heard the tightly closed door opening.
I quickly concealed the glass bottle into the sleeve and slowly raised my head. Thanks to the torch hanging in the hallway, I could see two bright shadows standing in the bright doorway.
“…”
While examining the shadows to see if Aristia was back. I hardened my face a bit. I couldn’t figure out who they were because they stood with their backs against the lights, but they were simply too big for her shadow.
Then who the hell are they? Why did they visit ?
While I caught my breath to calm down, one of the shadows beckoned to the other gently.
After confirming the other shadow standing beside the door, I turned to the shadow coming toward .It was clear that it was this man who ca here to see her for so reason.
“Lady Jena.” His voice was chilly.
At the familiar voice echoing into my ear, I flinched while swallowing to calm down my anxiety and nervousness. Looking at her, he put the hood of his robe on the back of his head. Blue light was reflected over his robe, along with his navy blue eyes.
Why did he appear here?
My eyes trembled at his unexpected appearance. Even though I was surprised by Aristia’s visit, little did I think Rublis would co to see . She had a reason to do so, but he didn’t need to. Moreover, all the trials on those including Duke Jena and the core mbers of the noble faction mbers were over.
Is it because I lost my attention for a mont? Sothing seed to drop from my sleeve, then fell to the floor before I grabbed it. He looked at the glass bottle rolling on the fluffy carpet for a mont and said in a unique, cool voice, “It’s a transparent bottle. It’s that one as I expected.”
“… Pardon?”
“I expected she would give this bottle to you, but…oh, my head hurts.”
He was muttering sothing when I asked, then suddenly turned his head to look at . While pretending to be calm, I looked at his cold eyes. I didn’t know for sure, but I felt sothing bad would happen if I didn’t act calmly.
How much ti passed? After looking at for a long ti as if he was agonized, he asked with a sigh slowly in a subdued voice, “Lady Jena, do you know what that bottle is?”
“…”
I remained silent. Sowhere, I felt sad and irritated at the mont. What the heck was he doing to when I had to commit suisuide soon? I felt indignant not only at Aristia who left a poison bottle behind and him who knowingly asked what it was.
Did he read my mind? Unlike a mont ago when he seed to treat gently, he was now back to his cold attitude with an indifferent look.
“You don’t have to look at like that. It is poison, but it’s not.”
“What do you an?”
I asked, frowning my eyebrows.
What is he talking about? Does it an that the bottle is a legendary dicine that if one drinks just a drop, it becos a good dicine, but if one overuses it, it acts as poison? Or is it a dicine that can hold one’s breath temporarily, just like the one Juliet drank?
But Rublis remained silent with a pensive look, and said nothing. He was still silent when I asked again, just in case he didn’t hear it.
I felt irritated again, which I took pains to calm down until now, but I tried to speak to him as if it’s not a big deal. Anyway, it was who was disadvantageous now.
“Please tell , Your Majesty. What do you an when you say it’s poison, but it’s not?”
“…”
“Your Majesty!”
“…”
“Would you please tell ?”
The mont he rejected my earnest request, I unwittingly lost my temper and stared at him fiercely. As I was to die anyway, I had nothing to fear.
“Are you kidding ?”
“… What did you just say? ”
“I asked if you were kidding . Don’t you think you are so an and cruel…Oh shucks!”
While screaming at him at the top of my voice in a fit of anger, I suddenly stopped when I felt sothing cold touching my neck. The man in a black robe was pointing the sword at my neck.
Rublis sharply looked at when I was shuddering with fear.
“I’m fine. Just go back, Marquis. ”
“But Your Majesty…”
“I said I’m fine.”
“… Yes, Your Majesty.”
When the man reluctantly bowed out, Rublis said in a casual voice, as if nothing happened, “Go ahead. What did I do to you?”
I touched my neck gently and stared at Rublis again. Although I was very surprised, I didn’t want to back out. In that case, I would not have dared to speak out to him from the beginning.
“What I said was not entirely wrong, right? Are you and Aristia playing gas with ? She left the bottle behind, telling she didn’t want to see die in front of her, and you ca here suddenly and said sothing beyond my understanding. Is it so fun to play the fool with ? A traitor like doesn’t deserve any human rights?”
Although I spoke out without reserve in a fit of anger, I felt like crying because I was more and more upset while speaking to him.
Controlling my tears, I stared at him with glaring eyes fiercely. I could never let him see crying.
“As for the treason charges against , I can’t accept it. Who first told you about the raid? It was . Why should I die because of Duke Jena? I saved Aristia who was slowly dying, and this is how you repay ? You want to use fully, then dump ? Don’t you feel any guilt? Aren’t you sorry for ?”
“Why should I feel sorry?”
“What the heck?”
