Truth is truth.
The herbalist admitted with a trembling voice.
"Yes, but it is wrong to use more than ten types of medicine at once. The Duchess certainly gave Her Highness a very dangerous prescription!"
That was wrong. but people nodded as if they were right. In this world, that's considered the truth. Even so, she couldn't give up like this, so she insisted on persevering.
"Of course, mixing medicines carelessly is dangerous. To be precise, it's dangerous when you mix medicines of opposite polarity that are forbidden to mix together. However, if you mix well-suited medicines, you can have a good effect."
It was then.
"Whoa."
A low sigh.
Kanna's words were cut off by the sound of someone's breathing. Not only her but all eyes in the courtroom were focused on one place. It was only a short breath, but it caught everyone's nerves.
"How long do we have to listen to that nonsense anymore?"
It was the Empress's sigh.
"Answer me. Chief Justice,"
"Right, Your Majesty."
"The Supreme Court is delaying the judgment even though the Duchess's crimes have been clearly revealed. Does this look so funny?"
Bang!
The Empress struck the wooden tabletop.
"The Imperial Princess is dead!"
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads at the Empress's wrath.
"How dare you give the imperial Princess a prescription that pagans would use! This insulted not only the Princess but also the imperial family! It is right to destroy three generations for that sin!"
After shouting, take a short breath. And she lowered her voice firmly.
"His Majesty the Emperor has praised the achievements of Valentino and the Addis family and has said that he will not apply a sit-in."
"..."
"So it would be right to end this with the Duchess's personal punishment."
She knew it would be like this. Kanna sighed inwardly.
'Because in this world, the orders of the imperial family take precedence no matter what the trial is.'
But what? A prescription like pagans would do?
'You first looked at me and begged me to heal your daughter! However, the Empress solemnly said that she had no such memories.'
"If you think the imperial family's judgment is wrong, speak up."
"Your Majesty is right."
The Supreme Court ruled as if it had been waiting for it.
"The crime of causing the death of Her Highness by a dangerous prescription with no safety guarantee. This is a serious crime that deserves the destruction of three generations according to imperial law, but since His Majesty has shown mercy, taking this into consideration, only Duchess Canna Valentino is sentenced to death."
Bang Bang bang!
When the desk was knocked on, the knights grabbed Kanna's arm. At that time...
"Die, Black Apostle!"
A cry from the bleachers. Kanna lifted her head slightly. But because there were so many people. She couldn't tell who was shouting. She just tried to ignore it.....
"Yeah, yes! Black Apostle! Dark-haired witch!"
"You dare to murder Her Highness, die and pay for that crime!"
"The heretic must die!"
As if the first cry had exploded. criticism from the commoners poured in. Kanna was beaten by their swear words and dragged along by the knights. She bowed her head. Everyone here thought she was crying.....
'What the hell! What happened?'
The truth was just hidden. The sullen expression. The face was even boring.
'Isn't there anything going on differently than expected?"
****
After being sentenced to death, Kanna was returned to jail.
'At first, it was a prison exclusively for nobles.'
Now? She was moved to a very cold and shady prison where the heinous prisoners were kept.
'Cold.'
Water dripped from the cold stone floor, walls, and ceiling.
'Besides, my clothes were taken.'
The criminal who murdered the imperial family even took away her dress, saying that she did not deserve to wear silk clothes. In other words, she was wearing only one slip dress.
'At least I'll give you a prison uniform. I don't even have the right to dress.'
Kanna squatted in a corner.
Cold, cold, cold. She thinks she'll catch a cold.
Kanna wants to lie in her bed. Not here, but in her bed in Korea. She wants to cuddle with her cat and sleep again...
While she was thinking about that, she fell asleep without realizing it.
How much time had passed like that?
"..."
She woke up feeling uncomfortable about something. Darkness fell outside the window. It seemed that dawn had come.
"..."
It's a surprise!
A man stood on the other side of the iron bars. An intimidatingly large body, red hair that shimmered in the moonlight.
Kanna blinked to see if she was mistaken, but she was right.
"Why are you coming?"
Then, the corner of the man's mouth twisted in the dark.
"It's nice to meet you."
It was really Orsini! It's a face she never expected to see here. How long had he been standing there?
"Why are you here? Didn't you leave for an expedition?"
"I came running here to watch you die."
"..."
That son of a bitch!
Kanna frowned and turned her head.
"Oh yeah. You must have had a hard time coming from afar."
Then she suddenly remembered. In the trial today, someone she saw in the bleachers. She couldn't see his face well because the hood was pressed down, but...
"Did you come to watch the trial earlier?"
"All kinds of your arrogance shuddered and ended up like this."
However, Orsini did not answer Kanna's question. Instead, he was bitterly sarcastic. But for some reason, it didn't seem like fun. It was strange, so Kanna looked up at him again. As expected, Orsini was not laughing. He just stares at her with a ferociously distorted face.
"I knew you would be here someday. Like filthy filth, I knew that one day you would tarnish the family's honor."
"Aha. You are a very good prophet. Why don't you open a fortune teller?"
Then, Orsini grabbed the grate. As he took a step closer, his face was revealed in more detail.
"How long are you going to pretend to be arrogant! Look at you!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"If you have eyes, why don't you take a look? With a face bruised from a blow, like a street prostitute without a proper suit!"
Oh, yes. It's bad in appearance. Kanna readily admitted.
"Why? Isn't that what you wanted to see?"
"..."
"Look closely. It will be hard to see after today."
It was said that this would never happen again. But Orsini seemed to understand differently. As a farewell, she said that if she was sentenced to death, she would never see him again. Veins stood out on the back of his hand as he gripped the bar convulsively.
"You will be executed soon."
"I know."
"No one can stop this unless your father or your fake husband steps in."
"Of course it is."
"Damn it, you bastard bitch! Did you even completely turn around!"
Bang!
He kicked the wall and cursed.
"Listen, filth. You're going to die tomorrow, okay? You're going to die!"
Kanna looked up at him. She really can't figure out why he is making such a fuss.
'No way.'
With something on her mind, Kanna pretended to be sad and dropped her shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Orsini."
"What?"
"I have nothing to say."
Orsini did not react immediately. It was such a sudden change of attitude. Even though he was talking about her own life, Kanna, who was making a bored expression, was suddenly acting like a fragile petal.
"I'm really sorry for ruining the family's honor. I didn't mean to do this either. Because of me, the Addis family is in debt to the imperial family. Especially to Her Majesty the Empress."
Orsini must have wanted to hear this line. Sure enough, the completely speechless Orsini stared at her with only the bars tightly gripped.
When Kanna saw that crazy flirtation, she wanted to click her tongue for a moment.
Aww! That asshole. This fool man.
"Did you know I could say that?"
She sighed and sat with her back against the wall. She held out her middle finger and said.
"I'm not sorry at all. I have nothing to apologize to you, so get out of here."
