Chapter 5 Part 1

***

“I’m going to say one more thing, after I say it, Your Majesty will not be upset if I behave so badly to you.”

Azela’s face turned pale. She hid her sword in her mouth (*she has a sharp tongue), contrary to her gentle appearance. Azela was helpless against Rosaline’s attack.

“How dare four years drive a wedge between our relationship?”

She couldn’t help but get angry. The white-tired Azela screamed. It was a loud scream that was sharp enough to tear off the ears. She then raised her shaky hand high. Rosaline regretted it.

“Oh… crazy! Crazy! You little snout!”

Her temper was the problem. But it couldn’t be helped. Rosaline didn’t know how she could stand to talk about the love between a mother and her child when she knew what Cahir had been through because of Azela! It’s a sin to know the original.

It was a good thing Azela didn’t punch her the moment Rosaline shamelessly said she loved Cahir. Why does justice pop out of uselessness? If you’re born again, you’ll have to think about it after you become a powerful person. She came here to live, but she was going to die in the wrong place. Rosaline closed her eyes tightly, imagining the taste of the hot slap on her cheek. Then, Azela’s hand crossed the air.

“Your Majesty!”

Hui’s cry cracked the eardrum instead of a stinging pain. ‘Your Majesty?’ Rosaline opened her eyes. In front of her, she could see the back of a robust man holding Azela’s wrist. Tall, stout shoulders, golden hair fluttering in the wind, and a slightly crooked crown. It was Cahir!

“Queen Mother, my secretary never said anything wrong.”

Azela’s face distorted.

Cahir took a short, sweet break. Thanks to his hard work in the morning, all the urgent paperwork was done. He had an early lunch and was about to enjoy a digestive nap when Derek suddenly opened the door and rushed in.

“Your Majesty! Oh my God!”

Cahir frowned and sat up, buried deep in his chair.

“If it’s not important, you’ll be on night duty for a week,” said Cahir, shaking his hand.

“Rosaline, ah, I mean the new secretary, whom you said was beautiful and unlikable.”

“Secretary?”

“Anyway, she is caught by the Queen .”

Cahir’s eyebrows shot up into the air. He sighed heavily and kicked his chair away. He wanted to ignore her and rest. But the look on Derick’s face made him feel that he must not. Derek, who was well aware of what had happened to Cahir’s people who got caught by Azela, was wondering if Rosaline would quit. No, in fact, the most hopeful outcome for her would be to get fired and resign with a little, very little heartbreak. And it would be the most horrible thing for Derek.

Suddenly, Rosaline came to Cahir’s mind. Azela waving her beautiful, rare, light purple hair in her hands? Would the yellow sky dress crinkle like a butterfly playing in a field of flowers? How does that face, which was so beautiful that it made him dizzy, change when she gets angry? Suddenly his curiosity soared. At the same time, he didn’t want to see Rosaline in a mess. He reminded himself that one day he would get even with Rosaline, Azela and Derek for disturbing his nap.

“Where is she?”

At first he didn’t intend to embark on it directly like this. He was not accompanied by a convoy of attendants and guards who wanted to follow him to the trouble, but Derek was. When Derek announced Cahir’s arrival, he dreamed of a peaceful picture which Azela would withdraw quietly. He did not want to waste his anger on Azela either.

But then he heard it. Something about his mother and her loved one. His mouth dropped open in disgust. His feet were frozen, he couldn’t move. For the first time, Cahir realised that a person can lose his soul in disgust. He came to his senses when Azela’s sound ended and Rosaline fired a shot. He thought it’s a bit different. It was a strange feeling. And afterwards he genuinely felt better. What beautiful words. Rosaline’s quiet but determinedly beautiful voice hit Cahir over the head.

“What, what? Your Majesty, please let go of my hand!”

Azela twisted to dislodge her wrist. However, instead of releasing her hand, Cahir put more pressure on it. Azela groaned in pain.

“Rosaline had never said anything wrong, Queen Mother.”

Azela glared at Cahir.

“Queen Mother!”

Azela’s guards and attendants came rushing in from the distance. They glanced around. The situation was easily understood, but it was difficult to decide what action to take. Cahir grabbed Azela’s wrist with great force. Azela blushed, and a beautiful woman, whom he had never seen in the Imperial Palace before, stood between them with an unconcerned expression on her face, her hands gently clasped.

“I’ve been out in the air for a while,” she said, “and in the meantime you’ve lured His Majesty’s people away. By the way, who is that woman?”

The tyrant and the devil met. On the day they met, thunder rumbled in the sky and the wind blew strong. That’s what the word spread. Rosaline bent down for now. Everyone lowered their heads and clasped their hands together. Who’s going to lose their head today?

“Do you take her side because you know what the wretched lady said?”

Cahir’s brows narrowed and scarlet eyes flared red. Angela was frightened. His angry face even made the formidable Azela flinched. Angela usually bothered him a lot. It was common to ignore Rosaline today and tried to slap her on the cheek.

“Rosaline.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Rosaline replied sharply to Cahir’s call. When he appeared like a comet and held Azela’s hand, Rosaline was honestly touched. He was like an apostle of justice who showed up with the wind. Of course, she couldn’t say that because she felt sorry for the immeasurable lives that died at his hands.

“Rosaline, explain again to the Queen. What’s wrong with her?”

As soon as she heard Cahir’s order, she was grateful. Her feelings were messed up and broken. She had been hated by Azela, but now she’s in the situation where she had to talk to her again and probably would get bullied for the rest of her life in the palace. Now, she got one more scenario where she came here to not die and ended up dead. Rosaline hesitated.

“Rosaline, what are you doing? I told you to explain it to the Queen.”

Cahir was forced to completely change his cold temperament. His voice was soft and gentle as he spoke to Azela. Like a gentleman of good manners, he placed his hand on his chest and bowed gently. One of his hands was supporting the crown, which was about to fall off his head.

“I will punish that arrogant secretary, but I’m sure Queen Mother, whose heart is as wide as the sea, will be lenient on her.”

Cahir turned his head and looked at Azela.
