I Met The Male Lead In Prison-Chapter 214.1
What was half hidden (2)
Maybe it was after hearing all the stories? I had the illusion that the blue light fluttering in those eyes seemed to be longing for something all these times.
Maybe it’s because of her gaze as if she had become a completely different person from a few minutes ago. A heavy feeling of pressure weighed on me.
“That’s why I need you, Lady. Please.”
The absolute person of this country pleaded with me, who was only a Lady.
“Can’t you be my ally?”
It was different from the gazes of my roses so far, but her eyes nevertheless harbored a clear longing.
“Until now, I somehow suppressed this power with the tiara that the first Blue Rose had. I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult.”
“What do you want from me?”
“I want all the Roses that disturb this land to disappear.”
I took a breath. I clenched my fists, then extended them, quietly measuring the distance from me to the Empress. I don’t know yet, but just in case she inflicted harm on me.
“Did you know that the Roses includes me and the Heads of the current Rose family?”
“Is that too difficult?”
I didn’t answer. Frustration crossed the Empress’s face.
“…… I’m sorry. That was a slip of the tongue.”
It seemed that she had now realized the mistake she had made.
The face, which had been hard until now, collapsed surprisingly quickly. I was really surprised by what I was watching.
“Ha, as you can see, I am barely balancing. It wasn’t just my will.”
The Empress covered her eyes. A soft voice leaked from between her thinly open lips.
“Please, help me.”
I widened my eyes.
“I don’t want to go crazy.”
Even my clenched fists slipped away at that voice. The Empress’s eyes, exposed between her fingers, fluttered.
“I’m not asking you to erase the Roses, just remove this power from me.”
“…….”
“I don’t want to lose myself. I want to lead this country for a long time as myself.”
“…… What can I do?”
“Go to Kambrakam.”
The Empress spoke in a slightly calmer voice, showing she had come to her senses.
“Give me the data about Kambrakam. If you go to Kambrakam, you can do it well enough.”
Unfortunately, it all came down to one thing. Kambrakam. The place where I opened my eyes.
There, it was said that not only can Ricdorian’s life be restored to its original state, but also the Empress’ power can be removed.
I swallowed my breath as I looked at the woman sitting in that seat. The matter I’m going to talk about from now on seems to feel like I’ll have to hang my head on it, but I’ve decided to do it nonetheless.
“Is this the end of the story about the Blue Rose you told me?”
“Yes.”
“As expected, the Imperial Family didn’t have any data on the Blue Rose.”
“…….”
I didn’t avert my gaze.
“I don’t dare say anything to Your Majesty, the Empress of the Empire, but I do have one thing to say.”
“What?”
“You have so many great wishes from me, what can Your Majesty do for me?”
I’m sorry for the beautiful Majesty, but I was a person who could draw a line with boldness and decisiveness to unfriendlies.
How could it be different than a child’s selfishness by suddenly appearing, throwing out a huge truth in an old-fashioned story, and half-forcibly asking me for something? I know that she also has her own difficulties and wounds. However, this kind of thing was unwelcome.
“You and the Grand Duke are allowed to go to Kambrakam.”
“We know this in return for the tiara we gave.”
“…….”
“The material you promised also ends with the story of the origins. Even this was a description of the Purple Rose. You said the information on the Blue Rose was ‘kept’. You lied to me and the Grand Duke.”
“Is that so?”
“Everything about the Blue Rose is said to have long since disappeared, is that true?”
“Did Duke Domulit say that?”
I did not answer, but it seemed to be a sufficient answer for the Empress.
“Not all are lies.”
While she admitted some of her lies, she also gave explanations.
“There are no records of the Blue Roses. I know the whispers of ghosts wandering around me. I know this is useful.”
“You lied that there was a record.”
“Right. I can’t record a ghost’s words.”
“Then, apart from this, what can Your Majesty do for me?”
“I didn’t know there would come a day when I would be asked such a question as I live.”
I expected to get a scolding. For some reason, the Empress laughed slowly instead of getting angry.
“Well. Not bad. You must have something you want, so tell me.”
Rather, I seemed to welcome this side even more.
She grinned. Her face, having regained her leisurely look, revealed a dignified light. At the same time, she looked as excited as a child.
“I can be proud that I know ‘roses’ better than anyone on this earth. All about the Blue Roses as well as other roses. Any questions? I can answer anything.”
Is this really true? I wondered if she was telling the truth or not. The scales tilted toward believing in the figure that had been begging before, please, take away this power.
“I want to reclaim the guardian deity of the Blue Rose that my brother had imprisoned, and restore Grand Duke Hernim’s lifespan in Kambrakam to its original state. But my brother’s abnormal obsession won’t let us alone.”
“So?”
I knew Chaser well. A beautiful but dangerous man with poison and thorns. He was a man who saw love and monopoly as the same thing.
He didn’t seem to know my purpose yet, but……. Upon noticing me trying to save Ricdorian, he might interfere with it at all costs. The woman’s eyes embraced me.
“The essence of my power is similar to that of the Black Rose. So I know it well. That he will never give up on you.”
“Yes.”
“I promise, if we leave it like this, Duke Domulit will surely start a war. Do you already know?”
“…….”
That’s true. Indeed, the other Roses, Ricdorian, Francia, and Renag, also expected it. And I never wanted it. The Empress threw a solution.
“It would be best to kill the Black Rose and annihilate it from this world, but it is practically difficult, so there is no other way.”
The Empress said the cruel words calmly.
“Let’s make a Rose Festival.”
“What?”
Rose Festival. It was a familiar word. But not knowing that it would be mentioned here, I blinked. it. Isn’t this a legitimate fight between roses?
A fight, a war. When asked how to avoid war, she said go to war. What kind of contradiction is this? Is this person already half crazy? Such a reasonable doubt was rising.
