Chapter 22: Lady Malith
"Who is she? Soone important? With the dress she’s wearing, she looks like soone of important," A servant muttered to another. While the other servant nudged her on the shoulder then said, "Haven’t you heard about her? Platinum blonde with green eyes like an erald? She’s the princess of the Redodel Empire."
"Such a pity she’s a beauty, but her face is too stiff."
"I agree."
Elia could hear their conversation but didn’t pay much to what they were saying. But all she cared about is now she’s able to walk freely. It’s frustrating that there are so botherso people who wouldn’t leave her alone.
"But don’t you think His Imperial Majesty is giving her too much freedom?" Elia looked at the servant, who didn’t notice her looking in their direction. "Shh, don’t say that. What if soone hears this?" Asked the other servant as she looked side to side and flinched as she sees Elia. The servant tried stopping the other servant from talking and got annoyed at how her friend was stopping her from doing so.
"Don’t be rude, you two," Vanessa said as she stood in front of Elia with her arms crossed. Elia pulled the sleeves of Vanessa then said, "It’s alright. In the first place, I don’t belong here." Vanessa bit her lip and was hesitant to listen, but in the end, she obeyed her. She then stood behind Elia’s back, then said, "Be grateful that Miss Elia is kind. She could have told the emperor about this."
The other two servants looked scared when Vanessa ntioned the emperor. The two servants bowed and imdiately rushed out of their sight while Vanessa could bear but scold Elia for not fighting back.
"How can you not say anything?" Vanessa asked Elia and could see the frustration built in her. Elia thought it would be better not to create problems without a plan. Though she did consider saying sothing to fluster the two. But she didn’t because it was a botherso thing to do. Elia answered, ????There’s no point in fighting without a plan."
Vanessa couldn’t say anything back towards her since Elia was right. But at the sa ti, she wanted to say that Elia is wrong. Even if there isn’t a plan, she should be defending herself. Elia took a step and was supposed to go back to her room but then she was stopped.
"Where do you think are you going?" A woman asked while Elia didn’t say anything or turn her back. She felt another storm was coming her way. The woman cleared her throat, then asked, "You’re not mute, are you?"
Elia was waiting for Vanessa to say sothing. But when she sees the frightened expression on her face, she then doubted Vanessa would talk.
If Vanessa is frightened about this woman, then that ans she’s soone important or soone who has a high status. It wasn’t possible for the woman to be a princess because the previous emperor only had Elliot.
"I won’t repeat the third ti. Aren’t you being rude?" The woman asked, and finally, Elia turned her back to see a dark-skinned lady with two other maids standing behind her. Without a doubt, she’s a lady from the Honani tribe.
From top to bottom, she was dressed beautifully and not to ntion she was a beauty. But her attitude is all the way to the bottom. Seeing Vanessa bowing, Elia didn’t do so but instead looked at the woman.
"You’re supposed to be greeting her," Said one of her maids as she shot a glare at Elia. "I don’t want to be rude but do I know you?" Elia asked the woman, who bit her lip and looked annoyed at the sa ti. It looks like Elia hit the target.
The maid pointed a finger towards Elia, and in an annoyed tone, she said, "How dare you ask that question towards Lady Malith?" Now that you think about it, she looked a bit like Ayfara, but it’s just the hair that made them look different.
This Lady Malith must be spoiled to the point she even has her maids to speak for her. Elia took a deep breath then said, "I am sorry. That is because I am new to this palace. I didn’t an to be rude." But it didn’t an she was going to lower her head towards soone like Lady Malith.
Lady Malith swung her fan, telling her two maids to stop talking. She thought Elia was doing it intentionally, but it so just happens she was new to this palace. "It’s alight. I’ll forgive you. My na is Malith Raiimond. What about you?"
"Elia Beaumont."
"Beaumont... I’ve heard of that na before. Anyway, Elia, I hope you enjoy your stay in the palace," Lady Malith said as she walked away and followed her two maids.
Malith Raiimond the stepsister of Ayfara Raiimond but is raised differently. The leader of the Honani tribe has two wives, and the one who he treasures the most was Malith. That is why she was also sent to beco the concubine of the emperor. But doesn’t have any progress at all.
Despite living in the palace for three years. The emperor himself never once visited her room and pushes her away. The reason? It’s because Lady Malith was an annoying and obsessive type.
As Lady Malith walked back to her room, she told her maid, "Keep an eye on her." Even if she had let go of Elia, she was considered as a new enemy of hers. If there is another woman living in this palace, it ans that she is a candidate to beco the emperor’s wife.
For soone who had fallen deeply in love with the villain, she, of course, has plans under her sleeves. But a lady like her would take infinity years for Elliot to fall in love with her.
