"Her Highness!."
Reina looked at Roxanna's beautiful face which was filled with sadness. Her dark brown eyes glistened with tears, ready to shed tears down to her smooth cheeks.
How many times does Reina have to see this sight again?.
It felt like Reina had a headache every time she thought about having to see Roxanna's extraordinary acting, again and again. Ah, instead of being born in Ethreal, Roxanna should just be born in Reina's world.
Incidentally Reina's company is expanding into the entertainment world. Seeing Roxanna's acting skills, Reina is sure that Roxanna can win many awards, even though the Oscar trophy.
"I've been trying very hard to persuade his majesty, but... hiks."
She said casually, wiping the tears that finally spilled down her cheeks using the red handkerchief she had been holding all this time.
A red handkerchief that might make Joana inflamed if Joana was the one in front of Roxanna right now. Everyone around Ethreal knows very well about a simple but highly respected tradition here.
The tradition of giving a handkerchief embroidered with a family symbol and a person's name. Uniquely, the handkerchief was made directly by men to give to women whom they want to be partners for life. And those handkerchiefs are given every 'Talaize' festival. A festival celebrated in honor of the legend of the Ethreal empire builder, Talaize de Ethreal.
Reina grimaced in her heart as she remembered Joana's sad memories that flashed into Reina's head. How the woman looked forward to the king's handkerchief every festival came
But, instead of getting a handkerchief, Joana only got an ordinary dress as a gift from the king, arguing that the king couldn't sew at all.
In fact, when she was still in the "illusion" of love that Demian created, Reina had never felt the kind of hopelessness that Joana had.
Pathetic..
Joana is really pathetic. Even sadder than Reina who was betrayed by Demian and her family. At least, Reina still had a chance to get revenge with them. In contrast to Joana who can only watch while waiting to be "loved".
"Her Highness must know, for me, Her highness is like my own sister. Because of that, I have started a hunger and drinking strike since last night. I hope, Your Majesty the King will grant my request to transfer her highness back to the main palace. "
Roxanna held her chest while lowering her head, before finally settling down on the grass.
Her appearance is truly pathetic. Even the palace guards standing around them stared at Roxanna with sad eyes, while secretly staring at Joana with gaze filled with hatred.
'What did Mrs. Roxanna do to make the empress treat her like this?'
Or,
'The Empress is truly ungrateful. Shameless, evil witch '.
All their thoughts Reina could clearly guess. Reina folded her arms across her chest, was considering whether to enter into the game Roxanna had created or not.
(Remember, evil woman, evil woman.)
Earthos' impatient voice instantly echoed in Reina's head as the idea of ignoring Roxanna popped up in her head.
Sighing heavily, Reina was finally forced to give up the idea of "just shut up". She then walked, approaching Roxanna's position. Reina also crouched in front of Roxanna, gripping her shoulders tightly.
"Stop pissing me off before I actually make your misery acting come true."
Reina whispered softly, bringing her lips closer to Roxann's ear. It was so soft, Roxanna was troubled to hear it.
Brukk ..
Then, with one hard push, Reina pushed Roxanna's body until the woman fell backwards.
"Stop showing your sickening face in front of me. You have clearly slandered me and seduced the king. "
Reina shouted angrily, stood back up and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Trying to imitate how Joana behaved every time she faced Roxanna.
Meanwhile, Roxanna did not react immediately to Joana's actions. Instead, she was pensive, staring at Joana who stood towering in front of her with her usual annoyed and condescending expression.
No!.
For a moment, Roxanna was sure that the woman in front of her was not Joana. The look in her eyes when she grabbed Roxanna's shoulder earlier seemed to say that she "knew" everything.
The mocking smile on her lips even if it was only for an instant seemed to laugh at the plan Roxanna had put together. And her words ...
The hair on Roxanna's neck suddenly twitched, there was a sudden fear creeping up in her heart. In fact, everything that had happened in the past few days was a plan she had carefully worked out.
Even Roxanna deliberately visited Joana in the open so that she had a "witness" who could justify how mean Joana was.
And..
Roxanna's other goal is to provoke Joana to immediately carry out her "final" plan. Because with that plan, Roxanna was sure she could finally take the empress's throne.
"What are you waiting for, go !."
Joana's annoyed screams made Roxanna jolt from her reverie, along with a cold feeling in her head, due to the tea that Joana spilled on her head.
After finishing pouring tea on Roxanna's head, Joana then stomped her feet in annoyance and turned away leaving Roxanna with pouted lips.
Ah, it looks like Roxanna saw it wrong. From her reckless and childish actions just now, it was clear that the woman she had just faced was Joana.
"Madame."
The royal guard who had been witnessing the "war" between her and Joana suddenly approached, trying to offer help to Roxanna.
As usual, Roxanna refused their help and only smiled. Implies that she is trying her best and doing well for the good of the empress.
Roxanna glanced at the palace entrance, caught a glimpse of Joana's back before finally disappearing completely.
Ah, Roxanna is sure that she just hallucinating becuse she's very tired. Yes, she is sure ...
