"Xanna."
Galaes' frantic screams echoed through the hall. In a matter of seconds, the man had sped quickly toward Roxanna's body who was sitting on the floor.
Hmm, Reina should have provided the carpet for Roxanna first so she could sit comfortably. Moreover, at this time the cooling cylinder of the royal hall was at the coldest temperature.
It is common knowledge that Ethreal is a kingdom with very high temperatures, even at night. This condition caused the nobles to use air conditioning in every room they owned. And for their entertainment, the aristocrats tended to install really cold temperatures. Even when she was in her former world, Reina had never set such a low temperature.
The sad reality of life. Ethreal is the clearest reflection of social inequality. The nobles might be able to enjoy the chill in the heat of Ethreal's weather, while the common people, could only fantasize in their minds how pleasant the cool atmosphere the cooling cylinder produced.
"You.."
Reina tilted her head questioningly as Galaes's index finger now turned to her face,
"This must be your doing, right ?."
He hissed angrily.
His handsome face, which had been showing a fake smile when greeting the guests even when dancing with Joana, now turned cold and cruel.
'Huh, come on dear king!, even if the reward is your life, I still don't want to do stupid plans like this'
Reina continued to chatter in her heart.
(Remember, the success of your mission depends on how you behave in this world.)
Earthos's voice echoed in Reina's head, making the girl suddenly grimace in annoyance.
Arrgh, like it or not, she still has to play the role of "the evil Joana" perfectly.
Reina quietly sighed, gathering her lazy souls that were scattered in all directions. Then, like a person in a trance, she began to put on a facial expression and act like Joana,
"What do you mean by that Your Majesty?. I don't understand at all. "
Reina blinked her eyes many times, a look of disappointment and sadness on her face. As if she was getting baseless accusations.
"Stop pretending,"
Galaes shouted at Reina, carrying Roxanna like a princess. While his eyes were still staring at Reina with a gaze full of hatred,
"I make sure we will discuss this matter carefully. This party is suspended for a while, all the guards and soldiers, immediately find the crown prince. "
Galaes ordered, then began to walk out of the hall. Unintentionally Reina's eyes caught a faint smile on Roxanna's lips. It was as if she was mocking Reina and thought she'd just won a big game.
(Quickly get out your lines! Remember, now you are Joana. How could Joana be able to calmly see Roxanna get the king's attention like that?.)
Again Earthos shouted in Reina's head.
(Noisy, I suppose you are more worthy of being gossipy mom who likes to stir up trouble than gatekeepers of parallel worlds.)
Reina protested.
(It's up to you, if you don't act like Joana, don't blame me if your mission of revenge won't happen. Imagine that you have to die in a miserable state, while those traitors dance hula-hula in your grave.)
"Don't go, Your Highness!"
When Reina remembered the traitors who might be happy celebrating her sad condition in the hospital, she moved forward so eagerly. Run in a hurry to block Galaes.
It was one of these acts that made the nobles look down on Joana. According to them, Joana is an example of a vulgar empress. She often displays actions that do not reflect herself as an empress.
"I don't know anything at all,"
Angry, Reina pointed her index finger at Roxanna's face,
"This woman must have trapped me again, Your Majesty. She just didn't want His Majesty to spend time with me. She was jealous of me. She will definitely do everything to ensure that His Majesty is not with me. "
"Why Her highness?,"
"Why do you have the heart to accuse me like that when I am very anxious and sad like this?"
Roxanna asked sadly.
"Halah, I know, this is all your plan, right ?. You were the one who deliberately made a fuss and said the crown prince was missing. Even though you are hiding the crown prince somewhere. "
Reina laughed sarcastically. Again and again in her heart, she praised her own acting skills. Hem, it looks like it was not in vain that she had attended theater extracurricular activities in high school.
"Your Highness,"
Roxanna half screamed, tears now pouring back down her cheeks,
"How could your highness accuse me like that?. Where is there a mother who has the heart to harm her child. Your Highness will not understand, because Your Highness has never experienced being a mother. "
She said while sobbing, as if Reina's words just now caused a deep wound in her heart.
Ah, when it was clear, Roxanna's words were much sharper than Reina's. Of all the people in this kingdom, Roxanna knows best how Joana longs to be a full king's wife as well as a mother.
It is the most insensitive and impudent to say to someone who desires a child so much that she does not know a mother's feelings. Especially to the Empress. If only Galaes didn't put his back on Roxanna, it was certain that the woman would be put to death.
(Quick reply, Rei. You have to be cruel and full of jealousy. Remember your revenge, imagine if the ones in front of you are Natasha and Demian.)
Earthos voice in Reina's head immediately blurred Reina's vision.
The scene before her suddenly changed, it was no longer the royal hall filled with crowds of people. Rather, it is a room with a king size bed. Two humans were making out there, kissing each other, sucking and moaning with pleasure.
"What did you say?,"
Reina looked at Roxanna with a look of disgust,
"A mother?. Come on, Roxanna, I know very well that you got the child you mean by a sneaky way. I know you tricked the king to spend the night with you even though you were pregnant with another man before. You sneaky woman .. "
"Stop it!"
A loud shout was suddenly heard, echoing through the silent hall.
Reina turned her gaze towards Galaes. She thought, the one who just screamed was Galaes. However, Reina realized that Galaes was completely silent. The scream came from another direction.
"Stop all your inappropriate words, Joana Vil Alairez. It's enough that you humiliate dukedom Alairez because of your actions that almost hurt the crown prince. "
This time Reina turned her body, stared at the source of the sound which turned out to be coming from behind her body.
In front of the Hall entrance which was already wide open, stood a middle-aged man. The man was carrying a small child who was lying unconscious.
Ah, even just by looking at his hair and eyes, Reina already guessed who that middle-aged man was.
The man is Duke Zoulpa Alairez, Joana's father. Suddenly Reina felt sad at the cold glare that Duke Zoulpa gave. Ah, Joana, poor woman, even your own father did not side with you ...
