Chapter 386 – Extraversion. The Princess of Mercy and Character.
+++
The news that Seorae had been poisoned and collapsed quickly spread.
In the meantime, most of the people who heard her were worried about her safety, probably because she had built up a good image, and nobles came to visit her with all kinds of food and medicines that were good for her body .
Among them were nobles from other countries, who were greatly impressed by Seorae’s pacifism and love for the people.
Also, rarely did her people worry about her her and presented her various specialties.
It was a testament to how much popularity she had secured over the past year.
“Your Highness, are you feeling better?”
“It’s okay. Thank you. For being like this.”
“Oh, no. I was just doing the right thing.”
Seorae smiled slightly at her maid’s words.
She wasn’t fully healed yet, so it was a rather weak smile.
How it breaks her heart her.
The lady-in-waiting burst into tears for no reason.
“There is nothing in the world for granted. It’s not for nothing that you take care of me. It is something to be thankful for.”
“Majesty….”
How can I choose only such touching words?
Even though she is just doing what she is supposed to do as a lady-in-waiting, she shows her appreciation of her. She is a woman who sets a good example for other members of the imperial family.
She somehow felt that if she was like this, she could give her all of her.
“How have they been?”
“Yes?”
“The people who were with me. Maybe they have the same poison as me….”
“No, Your Highness. They are fine.”
“?”
The maid’s answering tone showed hostility.”
Although there is no definitive evidence yet, most people pointed to the messengers who were with Seorae as the culprits.
And among them, he was convinced that the messenger of Sparta was the culprit.
Now, Seorae has changed and is apologizing, making reparations, and trying to build friendships, but in the past, she spoke really harsh words without hesitation and said that she would conquer Sparta.
Public speculation is that she might have done something after burying it in the sediment in her heart.
Naturally, the lady-in-waiting who picked up such things had such thoughts.
“There is hostility in your tone.”
“Yes? Ah… Well, it’s not for Your Highness. I just….”
“I have heard that nothing has been clarified yet. It’s not right to suspect a person if nothing has been revealed. Both the doer and the receiver are tired. Let us put aside our doubts and wait.”
“Majesty….”
The maid thought.
People are so good
And I was worried too.
Politics is a battlefield where invisible men and women come and go, but can such a good person survive?
Will she be able to control the nobles who only want to take care of their own interests?
‘I… I will protect you… Hot! What are you saying… How could something like me….’
She blushed on her own as she fantasized about her weirdness in her.
“Then what happened to them?”
Seorae’s question broke it.
“Yes?”
“Since you doubt it, I assume that others doubt it as well. Maybe my mother too….”
“Ah, that… I heard that Your Majesty is extremely angry and is arresting all the envoys and interrogating them.”
“….”
Seorae’s expression her turned very sad.
“That’s not good. It will harm the peace.”
“It is, but….”
“I cannot break the peace that has been established because of me alone.”
Seorae raised her aching body.
“I have to go and dry it.”
“Oh! No, Your Highness! You must take care of yourself!”
“It’s okay. Everyone might be sad because of me, but I can’t stay still, can I?”
Despite her maid’s dissuade her, Seorae finally got up.
She then headed to where she was interrogating the Shinigami.
+++
A prison inside a palace that accommodates high treason criminals and those who have committed heinous crimes.
There was a truly terrifying scene, where the envoys from each country were being brutally tortured under the direct watch of Sora, the emperor.
The word is an interrogation, and it has already lost its meaning.
“Say it rightly.”
Cheeik!
“Aaaaa!!”
It is Yakgwa that uses iron heated over a fire to lose weight.
They did not hesitate to torture on the premise of ‘death’, such as kneeling at places where specially treated needles were densely embedded and placing heavy bricks on top of their knees.
This already counts them as criminals.
“We… No… Is!!”
“Your Majesty… !!”
The envoys shed tears and complained of injustice.
Combined with the excruciating pain, it produced a cry of sorrow.
“These bitches are still!!”
But that only stimulates Sora’s heart his.
A more vicious torture was summoned.
By the time those innocent women are almost dying,
Seorae appeared with a tough body.
“Mother..!”
“Seorae!”
She let out a pitiful sigh as she gazed at the harrowing scene within her prison her.
“Mother, you must not harm the peace because of me.”
“What are you talking about! Sinners must be dealt with severely! Even more so, they scorned the imperial family and tried to kill you!!”
Sora was uncharacteristically lost in his wisdom of her.
It must have been that her judgment was clouded as her child was in danger of death.
“Nothing is certain yet. Please sink the oars.”
“You… You… Aren’t you angry? These bitches are using your favor. I mean I betrayed you!”
“That’s when things are clear. We should never encourage conflict between countries over this issue. Doesn’t your mother know too?”
“Kuh….”
Sora bit her lip and made her tremble.
It made sense in her head to her, but she could n’t accept it emotionally.
What mother could stand still when her daughter was about to die.
She has to release that anger somewhere.
“In addition… This is the sin of making fun of my mouth. As a result of not being able to understand the feelings of others and living only for myself, I suffered that harm. So, this is not something I should be angry about , but rather something I should bow down to. Even so, I am alive, so I am grateful to Heaven.”
“Seorae…”
“In her mother’s warm heart her, there is no way to forbid her ignorance of her.
“Kuh….”
Sora grimaced at her for a while, as if holding back her wrath of her, then walked out of her prison.
Some of her went outside her following her, and all that remained inside her were her crippled shinigami her and the soldiers who tortured them.
“Please release me.”
“Ha, but Your Highness….”
“It is not too late to do so after everything is clear.”
“….”
The soldiers looked at each other and discussed with glances, and eventually released the envoys as Seorae commanded.
“I’m… Under… I… I’m not…”
“Yes. Believe. I am well aware of your upright heart and loyalty to you. He will never do anything that harms his country.”
“Majesty….”
Seorae soothed each one and called the priests to treat them.
And about her mother her, she told her not to care too much about her daughter her because she was afraid of losing her daughter, gave her all kinds of expensive things, and took care of her almost every day.
A word pays a thousand debts,
Even though the envoys went through such terrible things, they even had a bright smile on their way back, admiring Seorae’s mindset, attitude, and personality of her.
Then he went back and confidently claimed that he didn’t have to worry about the Mei Empire anymore.
What you have seen and heard, and what you have experienced.
Seorae was not a great man to hurt or hurt anyone, much less to commit war.

A few days later
Seorae strolled through the garden.
“Your Highness seems really amazing.”
“Yes?”
When she asked what she meant, her face was so cute and lovely that I wanted to bite her hard.
But that’s blasphemy!
The lady-in-waiting replied, erasing her blasphemy as best she could.
“Even though he went through such pain, he rather wrapped the suspect and sent him back with various possessions. She said that if the girl had been in that situation, she would never have been with Her Highness her.”
“It’s just because of my sins. If she had done the right things and said the right things from the start, she wouldn’t have gone through that. I just did it because it was my responsibility. Nothing was certain.”
“Really… You are a very noble person, Your Highness… Ah, of course he’s a noble person from the beginning, but what to say… It shines!”
“Whoops. That’s noble I am far from that. I myself am vulgar, do not behave well, and am always lacking. Rather, in my eyes, you look nobler.”
“That, like that… No! Your Highness is excellent in all areas. So much so that I can’t compare… I’ve only become a maid, but I always lag behind other children….”
“Aren’t you still trying? I can see it in my eyes.”
Seorae laughed softly.
“Being superior to others is not noble. The truly noble thing is to develop beyond your past self. In that respect, you are noble enough.”
“Majesty….”
The lady-in-waiting was moved with a great impression.
I guess that’s why people praise it so much.
While talking about this and that with her lady-in-waiting,
A woman hurriedly ran from the other side of her.
“Majesty! Highness~!!”
Since the garden is quite large, they must have traveled quite a distance.
Standing in front of her seorae, she gave her shocking news as she gasped for breath.
“Majesty..! Your majesty… Your Majesty… You fell down!!”
“… What?! Are you falling down? Why did the person who was so correct…”
“Poison… The poison is coming, Your Highness!!”
The news came that Sora Yueun, the 99th emperor, was poisoned with the same poison she had eaten by Seorae.
As soon as Seorae heard it, she hurriedly ran, but by the time she arrived, she had already become a sea of cries.
“I’m… Majesty….”
“Sister… Black….”
Another poisoning attempt following Seorae.
This time, it succeeded with the great result of the emperor’s death.
