87. The Last Confession
Kalista was displeased. The reason was simple. After Asherad returned from his inspection, he did not pay her any attention. He suddenly returned to the palace, then rushed out again and did not see her again after returning.
Then, suddenly, he stationed knights in the Empress Dowager's Palace.
'No matter how much you try to protect me, it's not like that.'
There must have been something going on. He must have been almost assassinated while out on an inspection mission. Kalista's imagination was no less than that of a writer. The knights restricted her entry with stern eyes, but she thought that strictness was Asherad's love.
“You can share everything, you know.”
She sighed. Now she could see Asherad's heart, no, the real situation. Asherad was trying to protect her.
Also, she wanted to free herself from the burden of being the Empress Dowager. That's why he did this without saying anything.
'Kalista, you are suited to be the innocent girl of Thalassa.'
In the past, Asherad had said such things. Kalista learned rather late that when he called her name, it was with love in his heart.
“If we meet, I will tell you how I feel.”
The world's standards, each other's morals and ethics, were now irrelevant. Kalista felt hot. He thought of Asherad holding Daphne. That charming and enchanting appearance...
“Ah, Asherad.”
Again, he will hold her, calling her sweetly, Kalista. It doesn't matter whether it's rough or soft. If it's rough, it means that his heart is ahead of hers, and if it's soft, it means that he cares for her.
“I need to hug you.”
Then, I will hug Asherad tightly. I will free you from that twist. And when you find your place...
'I have to kill that bitch.'
Kalista thought of Daphne's face. How could she just leave a lowly woman who had sex with her lover? She was a being that could not be tolerated, even if she was a lustful being. She kept Asherad by her side because she wanted to know his intentions, but it was presumptuous of her to say that she loved him as if she knew something.
Well, if they were inferior, she would have protested that it was unfair and asked what she should have said, but she should have blamed her parents for making her born as inferior.
“By the way, why aren’t you wearing that necklace?”
Kalista grumbled. Daphne was having trouble catching up.
Anyway, if she turns Asherad's heart to her own, Daphne will be killed. She has to kill her in the most painful way possible. Kalista smiled cruelly as she recalled Daphne's screams.
"Your Majesty!"
A maid came running in a hurry.
“What's going on?”
It was frivolous. For a moment, she felt annoyed and wanted to slap her, but she held back. Those who couldn't stand her temper and had no patience returned to their home country. She was the last remaining maid. She barely managed to stay because her mother 'requested' her to that family.
“That is... His Majesty.”
“Why are you taking so long to do this?”
When Daphne bowed down and said that Kalista was the one he truly loved, and then spread her legs for Asherad? Wasn't that girl just flattering his true love, Kalista?
What the heck, isn't that why she ran away to get Asherad's attention? Now that she thinks about it, maybe she was afraid that the Emperor's favor would be directed elsewhere. Maybe that cunning thing knew that she was going to kill her.
“So... Since when has His Majesty been like that?”
"That is..."
As the maid shivered, Kalista's eyes flashed cruelly. The maid began to cry at the thought of being beaten in front of the maids.
“That is, as soon as he returns... in His Majesty the Emperor’s bedroom...”
The maid closed her eyes. But the pain she was waiting for did not come. Will she let her go this time? As she thought, Kalista picked up the hot cup of tea.
“Ugh... Your Majesty, please...”
The steaming tea dripped down her thighs.
“Don't move.”
“Ah, ahhh! Forgive me, please forgive me!”
The maid was subjected to a humiliating punishment. For the simple reason that she had told Kalista something she did not want to hear! The maid groaned in shame and pain in her thighs as she looked into the eyes of the maids. Kalista had been famous for her personality even in the kingdom of Thalassa, but after coming here and becoming the Empress, she had become even more eccentric and cruel.
Several of the maids that Kalista brought from her homeland died, and the maids who could not endure this punishment returned to the kingdom. The maids were also nobles, and who could take issue with the Empress Dowager of a foreign country, even if they complained to the King?
Because of this, Kalista tormented the handmaids of the kingdom of Thalassa to her heart's content. In front of the common maids, cruelly.
The maid clutched the hem of her skirt. The only reason she was left here was because the Queen of the kingdom of Thalassa had threatened her family.
Her body trembled with anger. Although she was a noblewoman, this vulgar woman who had no respect would soon be punished. She endured the pain and endured it again, hoping that day would come soon.
Daphne was surprised by Asherad's appearance in the midst of all this. His mere appearance left people speechless. Daphne thought Asherad would be gentle with Kalista this time, too.
“I asked what you were doing.”
“Well, that thing is so arrogant that it doesn’t even greet me...”
Asherad reached out to Daphne. Daphne’s eyes widened. Why him? He had never defended Daphne in front of anyone. As Asherad's eyes met her bleeding forehead, murderous intent flowed from his eyes.
Why are you making such a face? And why aren't you holding my hand? Asherad looked at Daphne's big eyes and made an expression that he couldn't express.
He laughed out loud. Everyone knew it was a laugh of absolute utter amazement.
“I tried to let it slide, but that stupid thing causes trouble like this.”
Kalista thought it was Daphne. But Asherad's gaze was staring straight into her eyes. An expression of disgust and disgust. The man, who did not hide any negative emotions, winked at the knights.
“What the heck!”
The knights approached her and grabbed her arm violently. Her eyes widened. This couldn't be happening. Why were they insulting her like this?
Tears flowed from Kalista's eyes. Isn't that the attitude one takes when dealing with a sinner?
“Asherad, what is this? It is embarrassing to see the lower ones. Please let me go.”
Asherad turned away from Kalista without answering. Kalista looked at him with a pleading expression. The moment he turned away and reached out to Daphne, she cried out in frustration.
“Can’t you do something about that twisted personality?!”
At those words, the stillness that had been barely audible changed into a stillness where not even a breath could be heard. The maids and servants behind Kalista opened their eyes wide and looked at their master’s foolish appearance.
“Twisted personality?”
Asherad looked back at that.
“There’s no need to be so nice to that lowly woman. It would stain your noble blood!”
Asherad nodded at the evil words. It was as if he was telling her to say more. Kalista ground her teeth in anger. She didn’t even realize that Asherad wasn’t smiling.
Daphne looked at Kalista with a stern expression. Kalista looked really frustrated. But no one stopped her and just watched. Kalista cried out, looking at her twisted lover.
“You want me!”
As Kalista shouted, Asherad's face became puzzled. Even in his anger, Asherad looked surprised at Kalista's blunder. That foolish woman had done something wrong. Kalista must have thought Asherad's surprise was full of joy, so she drove the wedge in.
“You want me instead of that woman! You want to hold my body, not that woman’s body.”
The knights looked around hurriedly at the blatant words. Fortunately, they were relieved because they did not see any nobles strolling around the palace.
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
“Are you trying to deny it?”
Kalista let out a laugh, then burst into tears. It was clear that she thought Asherad was being sarcastic.
“Asherad.”
“Don’t say any more...”
"I love you!"
Kalista spoke desperately to the man in front of her. I wish this man would take off his mask and reveal the truth! I wish he would believe me!
If you're worried about people's attention, just kill them all.
If she is honest, this person will be honest too. Kalista hoped so. A smile appeared on the corner of Asherad's lips as he looked at her face.
He looked straight into Kalista's eyes, then suddenly grabbed Daphne's cheeks, who was standing there with his hands, and kissed her passionately. The maids and knights turned their heads at the awkward process.
It was a sticky kiss. It was so passionate and deep that she could see her tongue sticking out every time he turned his head.
A kiss filled with lust. Daphne's body shook precariously. Kalista wanted to tear that bitch apart.
After the deep kiss, Asherad looked at Kalista.
“Because I love this woman.”
“...”
“It disgusts me to think of kissing my mother like this.”
“...”
“So, please, stay in your room and rest.”
The angry voice suddenly broke off. Kalista, who was being dragged away, cursed.
Kalista was displeased. The reason was simple. After Asherad returned from his inspection, he did not pay her any attention. He suddenly returned to the palace, then rushed out again and did not see her again after returning.
Then, suddenly, he stationed knights in the Empress Dowager's Palace.

“That is... His Majesty.”
“Why are you taking so long to do this?”
Kalista was starting to get annoyed. The maid seemed to have made up her mind and said,
“That’s it, His Majesty has been having an affair with that woman... Gosh!”
When Kalista swung her hand violently, the handmaiden was startled and covered her cheek with her hand.
“What?! Why the runaway bitch?!”
“That, that is what His Majesty brought.”
Kalista grabbed the handmaiden's hair and pushed her. The handmaiden fell over. The maids murmured as they watched the handmaiden fall to the ground.
"Your Majesty."
She whimpered, but Kalista's anger did not subside. She felt dirty.
“Aren’t you crazy?!”
She screamed sharply. Kalista ground her teeth as she remembered Daphne, who had destroyed all her imagination. This could not be explained unless she was crazy.
“That’s it, His Majesty has been having an affair with that woman... Gosh!”
When Kalista swung her hand violently, the handmaiden was startled and covered her cheek with her hand.
