Seeing the King and Roxanna sitting next to each other made Reina realize how well matched they were. A traitor with another traitor.
Even Reina believes the king will not be able to occupy the throne now without Joana. Because during the rebellion, Joana was the one in charge of arranging logistics for the king's soldiers and the duke's soldiers.
"Hurry up and apologize!."
This time the king said in a commanding tone. Something that Reina clearly couldn't argue anymore.
Of course Reina would happily obey the king's wishes, because from the beginning she had no intention of fighting or seeking the truth.
Reina's current goal was to remain lowly and out of sight of others, while she gathered her information and strength before her savior arrived.
Reina bent her body again, wore a regretful expression on her face,
"I'm sorry, Roxanna. I'm sorry if my carelessness hurt you, especially when no one was there. "
Reina lifted her face, gave a look full of regret,
"I should have been more careful in my footsteps."
Roxanna looked shocked, but it's just that in less than a few seconds, her pathetic sockhed returned to normal.
"Of course, I am also guilty, her highness,"
Roxanna then stood up and walked toward Reina. She then grabbed Reina's hand with a warm smile on her face,
"I am very happy that at least Her Highness wants to meet me even in secret."
Roxanna said, making Reina almost laugh.
Wow, this woman turns out to be a pretty reliable fighter too. From what she said, people would have assumed that Joana was deliberately meeting Roxanna in secret when there was no one to disturb her plan.
Again Reina took a deep breath, before holding back Roxanna's hand. The regretful gaze still hung in Reina's eyes,
"I'm sorry Roxanna. I should have been more careful. I shouldn't have invited you to meet in such a dangerous place. Sorry, I had no idea that there were lots of rocks and other objects around that could make someone slip. I hope Roxanna will understand because this is also my first time there. "
A cynical smile formed on the corner of Reina's lips when she saw Roxanna looking shocked again. What did she expect huh? Did she expect Reina to start getting angry and shaking off Roxana's hand like usual ?.
Hoho, it's not that easy, miss two-faced. Seeing Roxanna still not reacting, Reina immediately hugged Roxanna tightly. Then she said,
"I'm sorry Roxanna. I shouldn't be like this, especially if you're the only one who can give an heir to the king. "
Roxanna's body in Joana's embrace twitched, as if she was surprised that Joana would say that sentence. Usually, Joana never admitted that the child Roxanna gave birth to was the king's child.
Galaes, who had been silent watching the two women in front of him, was seen furrowing his brows. For the king, Joana's behavior this morning was very strange.
Starting from the look in her eyes that were so calm when facing Galaes, even though usually that woman would look at Galaes with a gaze full of hope. The look of wanting to be loved that makes Galaes feel that whatever Galaes does, that woman will never leave his side.
Ah, maybe she's up to something else, Galaes believes that. Joana is just changing her tricks. Maybe feeling tired of old tricks.
Because Galaes has confirmed that Joana has fallen deeply in love and cannot live without him. Joana is like a treasure that is already in hand, without Joana, Galaes will not be able to fully bind the duke's power.
Meanwhile, Roxanna is like a flower that refreshes Galaes' eyes. Actually it doesn't have to be Roxanna, Galaes could have chosen another woman. Coincidentally, it was Roxana who suddenly appeared in front of him. Ah, actually not suddenly, because Galaes knows the mastermind behind his meeting with Roxanna.
A cold smile formed on Galaes lips. Everything is in his grasp now. And what Galaes needs to do is to keep the flower garden in front of him well-groomed even though behind them, he's also made another flower garden.

"Haahhh, I feel like I want to die."
Reina threw herself onto the bed. Even though it was only 1 hour of meeting duration with the king, but it felt like 1 year.
"Have you met the king ?. What do you think? Is he handsome ?. "
Reina reflexively rolled over when Earthos suddenly appeared above her. Making Reina almost fell out of bed because of him.
"Next time if you want to come, you must give a signal first. I don't want to die from a heart attack because of you before my revenge mission is completed. "
Reina scolded Erthos with hands on her hips.
But of course Reina was grumbling inside her head so that no one overheard.
Earthos ignores Reina's scolding at all. He just repeated the question again,
"Do you think he is very handsome ?."
Reina rolled her eyes, sat back down on the bed,
"Of course he's handsome. Even I'm sure that if he were born in my world, at least he would become a top model. "
Said Reina while nodding her head, remembering the figure of that damn king.
"Even more handsome than me ?."
Reina looked at Earthos with a look of disbelief. How could he ask something so childish.
Of course Reina's answer was clear. Even though the king is handsome, his good looks are still below Earthos. But Reina purposely hid her thoughts and answered with an indifferent expression,
"I think the king is much more handsome."
Earthos's eyes suddenly widened when he heard Reina's answer. He then pursed his lips and said in an irritated tone,
"Very well, after this you just ask the king's help to complete your mission."
"Stop being so childish. After all, the king's face has nothing to do with my mission. "
Said Reina, shrugging her shoulders.
But, Earthos is still pouting, just like a child who just lost his toy. However, Reina ignored Earthos's behavior.
"So, what is your reason for coming ?. If you came here just to annoy me, then I would be very grateful if you left immediately. "
Said Reina with a smile.
Earthos snapped his fingers as if he had just remembered something,
"Ah, I want to inform you that tomorrow there will be a royal party to celebrate the crown prince who just managed to walk on his little feet. Be careful, if you want your life as empress to continue. "
Earthos blinked his eyes, then suddenly disappeared without saying anything.
"Hey!."
This time Reina couldn't hold her mouth from screaming. To the extent that his personal bodyguards, Annie and Rosie went straight into the room. Searched the room with a worried face.
Reina could only smile awkwardly, explaining the reason for her scream was because Reina accidentally saw a mouse crossing her bed. And all that day, all his servants were busy carrying out a mouse search operation...
