SPMB - Chapter 42


 'Shit.'

After Amelia left, the Empress, left alone, bit her nails. She thought she could use this opportunity to get rid of her own stain, Amelia...

'It's bothering me!' 

Apparently, the poisonous plant was in the wrong shape. It was a poisonous plant that she had a hard time finding because she heard it could surely kill people! 

'But the effect is terrible! I will never use theirs again!'

The Empress had to leave it alone for a while. In this state, if the Princess died again, suspicions that someone planned the assassination could arise.

It is now known as Kanna's medical negligence. Even though Kanna is in prison.

'I guess I'll have to hold my breath and wait for the right time."

Come to think of it, the Amelia she saw earlier had never scratched her skin. She didn't scratch even though she would have stopped taking the medication she was using. Didn't she cry out that she would die from tickling without the medicine?

Suddenly, the Empress remembered Kanna's words that she would get rid of itchiness. 

'Were you really on the mend? Amelia? That skin disease she couldn't cure?'

If that's the case, it's really fortunate....

Well, the Empress was completely unreliable. She thought she had fixed it until now, but there have been several times when it has relapsed.

'Then what should I do with Kanna?'

Now that Amelia is alive, the charges of murder are cleared. But she was reluctant to let Kanna live. Hadn't she already been used as an important chess piece? In the future, her existence may become a mask. 

'Yes, there could be a back and forth. It is right to remove Kanna.'

It is true that Amelia almost died anyway. She should be framed for attempted murder and sentenced to death. Certainly, the Emperor would fully assist. He has an inferiority complex to Addis and Valentino. She knew long ago that he was always looking for an opportunity to humiliate them. Just as the Emperor knew the Empress well, the Empress too knew the Emperor well.

'Yes, just as His Majesty acted according to my will the other day, I will do the same this time. I'll drive you to death for attempted murder.'

When the Empress smiles like that,

 "..... Hmm?"

Suddenly, she felt my forearm tickle, so she looked down.

"What is this!" 

When did this happen? There was a red spot on the forearm!

"Ah!"

The moment the Empress realized it, it started. Doesn't it suddenly tickle from the neck to the face, chest, and back? The Empress screamed and ripped off the buttons on her dress. And hurriedly ran to the mirror, and witnessed her terrible body with dozens of red spots.

 "Oh no, oh God!"

 The skin disease Amelia suffered from had been passed on to herself.

***

Morning came, but the execution was not carried out. It was the same the next day. Then food and water were delivered.

Two more days passed like that. During that time, Kanna waited happily

 'Since the incubation period for the Empress's skin disease has passed, the symptoms must have appeared the other day, and she must have realized that she doesn't take any medicine.'

The Empress would think that Amelia had infected her, but... It's not Like that. Her skin disease is not contagious in the first place.

'So, can you just take the perfume someone else gives you?"

Kanna played a bit of a joke with the perfume she had recently presented to the Empress. For example, if you don't take the antidote regularly, you can add a drug that causes rashes and itching from time to time.

In other words, the Empress was in a situation where she had to beg herself for medicine for the rest of her life. Otherwise, she will be covered in hives from head to toe, and if the condition persists, she will suffer from burning and itching all over her body

Perhaps death would be a better pain.

No doctor could alleviate the pain, so the Empress would seek out Kanna as a last resort.

'That's why you shouldn't try to harm my life, Lady."

I didn't think it was cruel. Still, isn't this pretty merciful? It was then.

"Duchess Valentino."

A knight approaches. It was the article that brought her to this place a while ago. The moment Kanna met those polite eyes, she realized. Everything went as planned.

"Please forgive my rudeness from a while ago, Duchess."

The servants who followed the knight were carrying new dresses, shoes, earrings, and necklaces. It's probably a gift for Kanna. He opened the grate and politely handed over the dress.

"Her Majesty is looking for you. Please give me the honor to attend."

It was an attitude that had never been seen before.

"Duchess!"

It was as expected.

The Empress's whole body was burned. It's like she is writhing on the bed with tears in her eyes. Kanna bit her mouth hard to contain her laughter.

"Hurry! Come on, look at me!"

 The Empress gasped as if she would be out of breath at any moment. It seemed like she was going to die like this. No, maybe she'd rather die. At first, it was just an itch. But the pain grew more and more intense as if being burned by fire. No doctor or medicine could cure the Empress.

No matter what she did, the pain wouldn't go away! 

'So painful!'

For two days already, the Empress had been enduring this intense pain with her eyes open. She almost fainted.

"Come on, Duchess!"

The Empress hurriedly stretched out her hand. She grabbed Kanna's wrist roughly and shouted at her.

"Hurry! Hurry up and treat me!"

She forgot that she had been imprisoned in a dungeon for days and that she had assaulted her and even intended to kill her. Nothing matters in the face of this pain, nothing!

"Your Majesty...."

"Hurry! What are you doing if you don't do it quickly!"

Come to think of it, Kanna's eyes are very wide. Cracked lips, and pale skin. Alas. It was only then that the Empress realized that her physical condition was not good, but...

 "If you don't hurry up and treat me. I will punish you!" 

'I'm so sick I'm dying, what's the point of that woman's health!'

The Empress trembled with teary eyes. It was completely different from the way she lost her temper that she faked in prison. It was completely different from false tears. Now it's real. She just couldn't keep her sane. It really seemed like it would turn around!

"Now, didn't you improve Amelia's skin too! So maybe you can fix it too. Yes?"

"Maybe......."

"Say yes!"

"Right, right."

However, Kanna is coughing with cloudy eyes. It looks like it will collapse if she hits it at any moment. The patient looked pitiful to anyone, but the Empress was just angry. She lost his usual dignity, her stature, everything behind the crazed pain.

"What are you doing now! I can't get my mind right!"

"Your Majesty, I am sorry."

***

Then, with a bang. Kanna passed out!

It seems useless!

'No! No, even if you die, treat me and die!'

The Empress grabbed the fainting Kanna by the shoulder and shook her frantically. But Kanna didn't even raise an eyebrow, as if she had really lost her mind.

"Are you kidding me? Open your eyes!"

In the end, the knight who had been watching the brutality was stunned and quickly approached and dissuaded her.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Now the Duchess has passed out."

"Wake up! Even if you splash water on her face to wake it up!" 

Shit, Shit. The Empress's snort gushed hotly. She is in so much pain, in so much pain, How dare you pass out? 

"Go ahead, get some water! If you don't wake up by splashing water, wake her up by burning her skin with fire!"

Everyone stared at the Empress with horror. Scattered hair, bloodshot eyes, demonic breath. She seemed like a complete madman.

"Tsk."

In an instant, the Empress's light emission stopped.

clang.

"That sounds just... "

"Tsk tsk."

It was like a thunderbolt. It was a roar like thunder and lightning. It was actually only a very small sound, but it tore through the Empress's eardrums. Her fingertips twitch and her lips stiffen. The Empress turned her head slowly, very slowly. No, she didn't want to turn it around. She didn't want to check.

"What are you doing?"
