Chapter 59 – Fable
With the man’s acceptance, Violetta began to enjoy her limited freedom again. The interference has decreased, and even if you are negligent, there is no special restraint. She used to be imprisoned in a prison without bars, but now she is able to hear news from the outside world little by little.
While Violetta was struggling with her own misfortune and cutting herself off from worldly affairs, a lot happened in her palace.
Aside from minor things, the biggest change is that the emperor of the empire has changed. Liam, Violetta’s half-brother and the second son of the royal family, ascended the throne. Violetta was the only member of the royal family who was at odds over the crown after the eldest son of the emperor died in an unfortunate horseback accident, and since she had suddenly gone away, it was natural for Liam to sit on her throne.
‘I couldn’t even participate in the coronation ceremony.’
I’ve definitely heard the news that Liam was crowned crown prince before. But she never imagined that the coronation would be held so soon. Her crown prince’s accession to the throne must have meant that her ancestor died, but in fact, she hadn’t even known that her father had died.
‘Not only was he not a very good father, but even after his illness got worse, he hadn’t been able to see him properly.’
Even so, it can’t be a little shocking.
I felt once again how disconnected I was from the world. Every time she hears news of a changed world, she feels the world around her is so unfamiliar.
She must have stayed in the same room the whole time. Awareness of each other is very different. It felt like staying in another world.
‘The world runs just fine without me.’
They were members of the royal family and heir to the throne, but in the end, they weren’t very important parts of this world. Mere bitch. Only that much human. Violetta felt a little sad about that fact. She also felt a strange sense of deprivation.
“I can make you emperor whenever you want. It’s nothing difficult. A great empress who will go down in history. A flawless reign that no one has ever achieved! Anything with my help.”
The man managed to understand her troubles and whispered like a snake.
Violetta quietly shook her head. She had no attachments to Yije and her position as emperor. She did as he said. A seat that can be changed at any time by an individual if desired. Even a lowly, not a noble member of the imperial family, can be crowned emperor if he wishes.
Did that really have any meaning? Even after becoming emperor, she is still a mere woman who is swayed by his grip. The world’s evaluation of the emperor, who whispered that he was the master of the world, somehow felt ridiculous. His half-brother, Liam, will never realize that he is only a puppet for a man, even with countless vassals under his feet.
“It’s like being an emperor. Rather, I want to rest his mind.”
“Then let’s go to the garden. Let’s take a short walk.”
Violetta nodded her head kindly.
A garden that a man recently decorated at Violetta’s request. It was a place that had been renovated by taking away part of the imperial garden and turning it into private land. It was said that he brought in an exclusive gardener from the imperial family and left it to manage the garden.
Whoop.
Take a sip of the prepared black tea and look around.
She has been spending a lot of time in this garden lately. She had limited human relationships and lost the will to make new ones, so there were many times when she wanted to spend time alone. Whenever she did, she went to the garden and quietly drank tea to soothe her heart. She used to be quite lively, but now she has become tired and afraid of meeting people.
In her garden her, only she, her man her, and a few ladies-in-waiting attended her. Quietly, the chirping of birds hovers in the sky and disappears.
It was such a peaceful atmosphere that the hardships of the past seemed like a lie. Violetta liked this peace to her. The sudden peace is still very unfamiliar. Still, I was gradually getting used to it. Her man acted as if he would pick her stars for her sake her, and Violetta subsisted on his whimsical favors her, which were given to her like bird feed. Her comfortable and idyllic life her continued.
She still had a lingering insecurity, but she didn’t care too much. What would she do if she was really anxious? She was passive from start to finish. There is nothing she can do. She didn’t even want to break the peace she had now because of anxiety that had no meaning. If she had been she, she would have been rebellious and swearing at men not to be funny, but now she had no intention of doing so. Due to her long whipping her, Violetta has lost her will to resist and has become insolent. She has become accustomed to her life being swayed here and there by irrational whims. Even though it may only be fleeting, she has learned to enjoy the tranquility to the fullest and settle down.
‘Surely, this is also the wisdom of life.’
I was looking at the garden scenery with a lot of slack when I suddenly heard a disturbing sound.
“I’m so sorry.”
A loud moaning sound. Violetta took her gaze away from her garden landscape and looked behind her. She grabbed one of her handmaids her, who was smooth with the man, and kneaded her ass her. She tucked her hand inside her long skirt and tried to move it, but then she reached her fingers into her crotch her. She steamed. A watery friction sound was heard.
“Ahh, huh…….”
Her maid held back her moaning with her face flushed red.
“…….”
Violetta was silent and watched the scene. It wasn’t that she wasn’t frowning, but she couldn’t see any reason to hold back. She doesn’t care if he uses other women as playthings or not.
‘The person who gets hurt is also happy anyway.’
Even though the lady-in-waiting had her genitals being touched by strangers, she showed no signs of embarrassment. Rather, she was raising her mouth with a dangerous expression, as if she had been drugged.
Do they really have such a thing as free will? Violetta suddenly had a question. The ladies-in-waiting standing up to wait on her looked like puppets. Her limbs are ball-jointed, her expression is insipid, and a long thread from the man manipulates them. Such hallucinations appeared for a moment and then disappeared. Violetta shook her head to dispel the illusion.
Maybe, maybe It dawned on her that it might have been exactly what Juche had said. Maybe the only real humans in the world are that man and himself…….
She opened her mouth after the man, Violetta, who had been silently sipping her tea, had finished harassing her.
“Did you enjoy everything?”
“Yes.”
A man who calmly nodded his head at the subject who had been doing an obscene thing just before.
Violetta made a sullen expression.
“…… Can I ask you one favor?”
“Suddenly? What. Just talk.”
“Expell that lady-in-waiting from the palace. Out of my sight.”
Said Violetta, pointing to her handmaid who gasped and exhaled. The man tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face.
“Was there anything that bothered you?”
“Is it annoying? There was.”
Was there anything that bothered you? In fact, she doesn’t even know. She weaves several reasons in her head.
I’ve been holding back my sexual desire that has increased recently, but I didn’t like doing dirty things in front of me. I didn’t like the way I smiled carelessly, not knowing what kind of cruel things I was going through. It is also for her lady-in-waiting her to drive her out of the palace and out of that man’s eyes …… Etc.
Dozens of plausible reasons passed through my mind.
I knew it was all excuses.
Actually, the truth is. It’s hard to just take out your anger on a man, so instead, take it out on a lady-in-waiting. Just a moment ago, I didn’t think much of it, so I didn’t even stop it, but now it’s because I suddenly want to get irritated again. Why are you annoyed? Literally, it is ‘just’. Her unstable mental state was compounded by her pregnancy, which intensified her hysteria. Recently, it was a daily routine for her mood to come and go in seconds.
The man nodded his head obediently and said.
“Okay. I’ll make sure to leave right away tomorrow morning. Did you understand?”
“Yes Yes….”
The man spoke, and the lady-in-waiting who had been sitting down answered. She didn’t seem to know what answer she was answering.
Look at that. Even though I lost my job in an instant, I have no plausible complaint. Violetta didn’t feel any guilt. Anyway, that lady-in-waiting would leave the palace smiling tomorrow. Because a man will make it Hopefully, no matter what happens, I will be happy, so isn’t it a good thing…….
Suddenly, I felt a tired gaze. Violetta raised her head. A man was staring at her with a pouty smile on her face. She somehow made her feel bad, so she snapped at him.
“Do you have anything to say to me?”
“Well, just. I think a lot has changed since then. The way you think, the way you act.”
“What……?”
Violetta raised her eyebrows and let out her doubts. But the man only shrugged his shoulders meaningfully and gave no further explanation. Violetta asked with a very uncomfortable face.
“Then, don’t you like the new look? Are you losing interest in me now?”
“I didn’t mean that specifically with that intention.”
Why are you standing there like this? Said the man, sipping his tea. It was a way to intentionally drive Violetta to be a strange person.
Violetta felt her irritation her welling up again.
‘It’s changed? I?’
He pondered over his previous actions.
When he finishes the restoration, he frowns his head. Unbeknownst to her, she realized that the hated author and her own way of thinking her were becoming somewhat similar.
Even though she took out her anger on her innocent maid, she felt no guilt. Being next to a guy who doesn’t see people as people, he was influenced by that way of thinking, knowingly or unknowingly. Seeing her and having her doubts about free will may also be part of it.
Violetta shook her head.
‘I need to be careful with this…….’
They were definitely people too. She’s the same person as her. Being swayed by a man doesn’t mean you lose your humanity.
She also withdrew her resentment towards her maid her. She was also an innocent maid, so she did not have to be kicked out of the palace, she asked the man. He again nodded her head willingly.
It might be annoying to say this and that, but the man accepted all of Violetta’s requests her without hesitation.
“It doesn’t really bother me.”
As if he had noticed Violetta’s question of her, the man answered her unsolicited question out of the blue.
“It’s kind of fun to act like your faithful servant. Should I say it’s different? It’s the first time I’ve been in a situation like this, so it’s interesting.”
“Ah…… Okay?”
“Anyway, I’m going to keep going until I get tired of it. It’s fine if you ask for more. I’ll listen to everything except really ask for stars.”
It was unclear whether he was doing this to win Violetta’s heart her or just because he was having fun.
‘Something like a pervert.’
Violetta nodded her head, swallowing her gossip about her man her.
However, she herself did not seem to know even in her dreams her that she was enjoying her current situation her as her burden of asking her man her gradually disappeared.
