Princess Strauss trembled. She tried to purse her lips, but then stopped.
When she was caught in the insensitive eyes of the 1st Princess, shr was instantly afraid.
She even forgot the heat of her burning cheeks.
'What if she really kills me?'
Immunity. With that one word, the First Princess can avoid any punishment.
Like a worm stuck in a teafork, the woman in front of her will tear herself to shreds and walk away in her beautiful form.
She looked around, but everyone averted their eyes as if they were afraid of sparks flying at them.
'Oh, no...'
There was a primal fear for her life.
"Rude..."
Princess Strauss finally lowered her eyes.
"I can't hear you well."
"Forgive me for my rudeness... I beg of you."
"I still can't hear you."
The voice of the 1st Princess was calm.
However, there was still a blank and indifferent gaze looking down at the Princess.
The moment she met those eyes, Princess Strauss realized.
Today, as she left the mansion, the words of the nanny who was holding her crossed her mind.
"Be careful, Miss. The Princess says that she will never put up with touching her family. Even when Valdina was still a weak country, when the Fourth Princess insulted her father, she threw her gloves down on the spot."
So, she thought she would take advantage of that weakness.
If the 1st Princess gets excited and causes trouble, she will be able to take advantage of it...
'I shouldn't have done that.'
If she hadn't insulted her mother, she wouldn't have pushed herself to this point.
However, it is too late to regret it now.
Princess Strauss said that until she endured the humiliation she deserved.
She realized that this unmerciful play would never end.
"Uh-huh!"
At that moment, a short sigh flowed from the ladies' mouths.
Princess Strauss picked up her teacup and spilled it over her head.
Thick tea water flowed through her hair, neatly tied up with pearl pins, and the dress was dyed a darker color.
"Dare to have a short insight... I was rude to Your Highness, the 1st Princess. Please, take away your anger... Please..."
It was a complete submission, weighed down by the survival instinct.
Something dripped down her cheeks, not knowing if it was tea water or tears.
She grew up as the only famous daughter, but she had never humbled herself so miserably.
The others, who were watching the horrible scene of the Princess kneeling thoroughly, also felt a chill down their spines.
No one could take this situation as a spectacle anymore.
The Princess is just an example.
In fact, the First Princess was clearly warning everyone.
I can bite anyone fiercely whenever I want.
"Of course. It must have been very hard to spill the tea. I can't understand it. Go back and rest."
Medea, who had just watched the Princess pour water on herself, said in a worried voice.
"...Yes. Your Highness, the 1st Princess."
Princess Strauss was rather happy with the celebrant and hurriedly left.
In the end, she never raised her head.
"You understand? The Northern Empress loves us so much, so she can't let things happen in the imperial palace."
The 1st Princess looked at the back of the Princess, who was running away, and spoke softly.
However. It was not a question, but a declaration.
As if she were the owner of this tea party, she didn't need Eastern Empress's permission
As if to return the previous rudeness, the Emperor shot a provocative arrow at the Eastern Empress.
The participants swallowed their breath inwardly.
'I thought the Crown Prince's disposition was more favorable than the First Prince...'
Now, where is the kindness and kindness in the figure that crushes the face of the Eastern Empress?
After all, she wondered if the black devil would have welcomed her and another species as his lifelong companion.
She was also just like the Prince, fierce and heartless, as if not a drop of blood would come out if she were stabbed.
Rather, the First Prince warned me with his grim appearance, but this fragile and soft-looking First Empress...
She was deceived by that delicate outer skin... She will smash her head like a Princess a while ago.
"..."
No one could open their mouths.
Tey was afraid that the edge of that teafork blade was still on the table.
The people did not dare to face the 1st Princess and lowered their gaze.
They wondered if they had unknowingly shown hostility to the First Princess or had committed any offense.
At that moment, they could no longer see the existence of the Eastern Empress.
This is because they didn't even have time to pay attention to anyone for fear of being decapitated at any time.
"..."
The Eastern Empress grabbed the dress.
The hem of the fine and soft dress had a lot of wrinkles.
By the time the icy tea party was over and everyone in attendance had left, the wrinkles on the dress only increased.
"...Are you satisfied now?"
When everyone had left, and only the First Princess was left, the Eastern Empress grappled with her, crushing her lips.
"Cunning, I can see why Angelique suffered so much."
She could now fully understand her daughter's anger.
"Caught by something like a snake like you, how could my daughter endure? You must have been very busy taking care of her limbs one by one."
Medea grinned.
"You know. The 1st Prince is quite good at this kind of appeasement method, so even if they are important people of Your Majesty, the Eastern Empress, it is not too difficult."
"Are you threatening my people with their lives, and now you're bragging about it?"
"I sent you all the limbs intact, but I am sorry if you complain like this, Your Majesty, by the Eastern Empress. Or, if there were any marks on their fine skin, my sincerity would have been conveyed."
Medea shrugged.
At that fierce reply, the Eastern Empress's beautiful jaw trembled intermittently. It was to suppress her anger.
If it hadn't been for decades of fighting against the Western Empress, she would have lost her composure and exploded.
"1st Princess."
The voice of the Eastern Empress fell low.
"How many times do you think I've seen you boasting about your tricks and having your head broken?"
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Empress doesn't need to be so hostile to me."
Then, a soft voice echoed through the greenhouse again.
The daunting feeling that had gripped the space until a while ago disappeared, and a soft atmosphere bloomed like a spring breeze.
The smile on Medea's lips hadn't broken in the slightest.
"The fourth Princess has helped Valdina a lot, but how can we forget her grace? So, to put it bluntly... I'm on their side."
At that moment, Eastern Empress's eyes lit up.
Unable to take it any longer, she picked up the teacup and threw it away.
"Are you now... Are you insulting our mother and daughter?!"
Who made Angelique look like that?
Despite the shrill sound of the goblet breaking, Medea did not move.
"It was the Fourth Princess who proposed to make offerings and attracted wolves to target me. Do you want to say that it is because of me that the Fourth Princess joined the boat with Samon Claudio?"
"You, you...!"
No one had ever spoken so openly and directly in front of the Eastern Empress.
Unable to control her rage, her body trembled.
"Even if it is so, if Your Majesty the Eastern Empress thinks so... I have seen people wrong."
Despite Eastern Empress's anger, Medea clicked her tongue with a calm face. Her green eyes swept down the bronze Empress.
"Still, I thought you were a powerful person who had endured against Her Majesty the Western Empress."
"Hah, now you are showing your true colors."
Eastern Empress breathed out with a sneer.
"I see you trying to sit on the top of my head."
Her gaze fell on the red signet ring that Medea's wearing.
"His Majesty's protection and your husband's seal are in your hands. Do you think that this empire is all in your hands now?"
That's why you've become so arrogant. Her teeth were gnashed.
But Medea smiled peacefully, as if she didn't feel any hatred from the Empress.
"When there is a common enemy, I am telling you that today's enemies can become tomorrow's friends."
"What...?"
"1st Prince Cesare and 3rd Prince Juan."
Medea's gaze sank firmly.
"Of the two people who remain in the Imperial palace now, who will pose a greater threat to Your Majesty's safety if he ascends the throne?"
Eastern Empress was speechless.
"Is it the First Prince who has me as his wife who is grateful to the Fourth Princess, or is he the Third Prince who has Her Majesty the Western Empress as his mother?"
"...You!"
"Let me make it easier to understand."
Medea's voice became softer.
"To protect the comfort and position that Your Majesty enjoys now, who can coexist?"
I waiting for next chapter eagerly..😍
