The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

077

Women who are accustomed to the gentle treatment of noble men are often intimidated by the emperor’s large size and strong words and actions.

Even among the concubines, there was a woman who feared the emperor excessively.

Sometimes, even though they open up to the emperor, they cannot give their hearts to them, and they miss the beautiful young man, and there are also people who secretly harbor them in their hearts.

However, the empress loved the villainous emperor’s face. The heartless determination and the man’s sometimes overly cruel personality were all endearing to the empress.

‘your majesty.’

It’s been around for a few years and then it’s gone. It’s so different from before that you might have thought it was someone you didn’t know if you’d seen it elsewhere.

The sturdy body shrank and became bony, and the flesh of the cheeks, which used to be thick, sunk.

His lips were also dry, and his lips were white.

The tightly packed hair also became sloppy, revealing the scalp.

The only thing that was different from before was one look. Only the eyes that intensely stare at people are still there.

Suddenly, the emperor’s eyes met.

I tried to take a step forward to him, but suddenly stopped.

There is a sense of incongruity.

When I looked closely at the golden child next to me, I saw an empty neck.

‘The necklace…’

There was no necklace, proof of a golden slave.

Slaves must wear necklaces.

Even if he was the emperor’s slave, it was the same. If the slave wasn’t wearing a necklace, there would be nothing to say even if he was killed right away.

On the child’s neck, instead of a slave necklace, was a thick gold necklace hanging down to his chest.

As if it were decorated, the necklace drooped down the chest in a pointed shape. What it was was hidden from view by the splendid lace.

As if by chance, the emperor’s hand touched the child’s chest.

As the Emperor’s slender fingers touched the child’s clothes, the decorations hidden in the lace came out and swayed in the air.

Hanging from the necklace was a signet ring.

“!”

A corner of my chest felt cold.

I don’t know what text is engraved on it.

However, the empress knew something similar to that ring.

It looked similar to, no, the same as the duke’s ring that the crown prince had never received.

A missing slave necklace, a signet ring hanging around the child’s neck, and an appearance that resembles Princess Corea.

The empress pursed her lips tightly. If I don’t do that, I feel like I’m going to burst out yelling.

Suddenly, I thought that the prince who was supporting me was so peaceful.

Even the crown prince must have seen that ring.

But why aren’t you angry? Why is this child so calm?

He turned and looked at his son’s face.

The prince looked at the emperor and the child with a pale face as if frozen.

However, her face was not as surprised as the empress herself.

‘You knew.’

The son, Roberto, knew the Emperor’s thoughts in advance.

The empress retraced her son’s actions and recalled them in her mind.

When did this child warn those around her? Since when did this kid not say that to himself?

Yes, it must have been several years ago when her husband unexpectedly visited her room.

Around that time, Roberto suddenly became quiet.

Although he went to official events, he avoided personal visits or meetings with supporters as much as possible.

He quietly gave his gaze to the second prince, who boasted that he had become the prince and trembled with prestige, but showed no reaction. Rather, it only gave me a few pitiful glances.

The empress turned her head to see the nobles lined up behind her.

Most of them looked startled, but some family members who were closely related to the imperial family seemed to already know.

I was deceived.

The words of love whispered late at night and the smile on the face walking around the garden are lies.

The kind eyes, the occasional bouquet of flowers, the jewels and letters that the emperor himself chose and sent were all lies.

He was just trying to reassure her and coax her with sweet words to buy time to make that child his successor.

In the midst of the murmur, a whisper was heard about the signet ring.

The word taxpayer was also mixed in it.

The emperor walked slowly, holding the child’s arm, and stopped in front of the empress.

“Empress, your beauty is still the same.”

“…”

I choked up and couldn’t answer.

After lowering his head slightly to hide his expression, the emperor held out his hand.

As he placed his finger on it, the emperor moved on.

The emperor’s other arm was held by a child.

It was like an emperor and an empress walking with a child.

Let the three people pass in front of a long line of people, the nobles bow their heads each one.

The crown prince and princes followed, followed by nobles who had finished bowing in order.

To direct this scene, you had to come out to meet me in front of the palace.

When I thought so, my mind went blank.

After that, I don’t really remember how or what I did.

It was several hours later when he returned to his room after giving a polite nod, reply, and smile.

I sent out all the maids and aides and closed the door. Inside the empty space, she covers herself with a blanket and cries as if screaming.

I loved it.

Married in her mid-teens, she lived with the idea that she was a citizen of this country.

She used all her time for her husband.

Before becoming empress, she first loved that man as a woman.

I loved the person who gave his heart to a woman he met only a few months in his long life, more than he could.

However, now that much love turns into hate.

It felt like a huge hole had been pierced in my heart, and everything in my heart had been scattered like sand and was empty.

***

No no. too many Except for this one, oh, it has a weird green color to it.

Rilisha unfolded the wrapping cloth once more, checked it, and tied the corners together.

The goat comes to the side and cries and chews on the end of the cloth.

“Go away! This is not what you eat.”

Lilitha pushed the goat in anger, but it didn’t budge.

After wrestling a few times, I had no choice but to push the bread I was about to throw away into the goat’s mouth.

The goat, who had turned his head away as if he hated the bread, had no choice but to hit the floor with his foot and left.

The magic that used to help Ririsha drive away the goats at other times doesn’t help anything today.

Rather, it seemed that he was threatening the goat and trying to send it back to Lilitha.

“I’ll be busy.”

Lilitha sighed, her shoulders drooping like a nanny does every day.

‘I can’t help it. Because everyone is dumber than me.’

Maybe I didn’t understand all of Lilitha’s words. Sometimes, as if Lilitha didn’t understand what the baroness was saying.

This time the duck waddled along.

It comes close, spreads its wings, and makes a quacking sound.

“What!”

I was startled and jumped to the side.

In the wind, one side of the wrapping cloth that had barely been tied came loose.

“Oh, really. I’m busy.”

Lilisha was crying and pushed the protruding bread in and pulled the wrapping cloth again.

I tried to take as many as possible, but it is difficult to tie them together.

I tried to carry it on my back after barely tying it all together, but this time it was so heavy that I couldn’t carry it on my back.

“If I take out this, I will have to starve once.”

I am so upset that I feel like crying.

Lilitha sniffed and untied the wrapping cloth and took out two pieces of bread.

I still couldn’t wear it, so in the end I had to take off about half of it.

“Hey, hey, starve, have to starve, if I subtract everything like this, I’ll be, really, beggar, hee, hee, beggar, buck, buck.”

I can’t stop crying when I see the bread thrown on the floor.

Lilitha cried profusely as if wailing, and put the cloth on her back, then turned the long string behind her and tied it forward with the cloth.

A wooden cup and shoe pouch were tied to the waist with a string.

It’s such a pity to throw away the bread, but at this level, the preparation is perfect.

Lilitha took a few steps and stopped.

My bones hurt from the wooden cup jingling around my back. When I felt it with my hand, I found a hard bone right under my side.

Plus it’s heavy!

But you can’t drink water without a cup.

Rilisha put her hand on her waist and fell into trouble.

And after a while I realized there was a bigger problem.

‘uh! But where do you get the water?’

You cannot take the water magic tool. If you take it, the nanny will really scold you.

So I decided to just bring a cup, but I don’t know where to get water.

‘What should I do?’

I grunted and thought about it, but I’m not sure where the water is coming from.

Can not help it. let’s go out

Risha moved her steps again.

Ah, wooden cups!

My bones hurt.

Rilisha untied the strap around her waist and took out the wooden cup. I’d rather have this in my hand.

The duck quacked and chased after it, trying to bite the cloth.

“go away!”

Holding the wooden cup, he chased away the duck in anger and headed toward the entrance of the mansion.

I walked a little bit, but my back already feels heavy.

Rilisha wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and checked to see if anyone was outside.

No one is here.

but i can’t let go The attendant is always invisible and suddenly appears.

After waiting for a while and making sure no one was coming, we headed for the route we had known beforehand.

At first I thought of crawling on my stomach, but the bundle on my back was so heavy that I didn’t dare to bend over.

‘Anyway, I have to go quickly.’

The attendant may have gone to eat. Then you’ll be back soon.

Lilitha tightened her eyes and started running.

The bundle on his back swayed up and down, and the bag of his shoe hit his side.

sick.

Is it because the soles of the shoes are hard? It was very painful.

Besides, even though the mansion is still visible, it’s already hard.

‘little bit more.’

Rilisha ran aiming for a tree in the distance.

Gradually, the bag on my back got heavier.

I turned my head and looked behind me, wondering if there was something up there, but there was nothing. It is the same as the bag you carried on your back when you first set off.

My legs slowed down, and my breath filled my chest.

Still can’t rest

I forced myself to move and barely reached the tree I was aiming for.

When I gasped and looked back, the mansion looked small.

It was the first time he had come to such a distance without being noticed by the attendants. I felt that I could succeed this time.

Lilitha stopped walking and bent forward.

It was the first time I knew how hard it was to breathe. It’s hard to die.

Unknowingly, his body bent further forward, and the bread in the bag was pushed forward.

“Uh! Uh!”

A bundle falls over your head. As the string tied across his shoulder moved upward, his arm followed it upward as if it were about to break.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

The arm seems to fall off. I knew my body was leaning forward, but I couldn’t stop. I can’t contain myself

Lilitha struggled with her wooden cupped arms and fell forward with her head on the ground.

A quack like a duck’s cry came out of his mouth.

The arm went up as if it would bend, but I couldn’t get it down. The body is tightly bound with a bag and string.

Tears poured out.

Rather than meeting Lou, he was likely to fall to the ground and die. What will Lilitha do now?

“Lou, Lou, it hurts.”

I just wanted to see Lu, but I don’t know how it happened.

As I was crying and wailing, I heard someone’s voice.

“Really, what are you doing?

‘Uh, what about this voice?’

It’s a little different from what I remember. The voice that Lilitha remembered was a little thinner, prettier and higher.

But it’s similar.

“…roo?”

I asked in a tearful voice, and footsteps came closer.

“Yes, Princess. I haven’t forgotten.”

Crying so much that I can’t see

Lilitha blinked, and the weight that was weighing down her body suddenly disappeared.

The string that held her arm tight also came loose in an instant.

A rather large hand entered her armpit and raised her to her feet.

A voice descended from a much higher position than I remembered.

“Princess, long time no see.”

Several times, I blinked and shed tears.

The first thing that caught my eye was her shiny hair, as if sprinkled with gold powder.

On top of it, magic appeared and flew around quickly and plumply.

Rilisha opened her mouth involuntarily.

The voice was obviously similar to Lou’s, but there was a completely different looking person in front of me.

“Nu, who is it! Where did Lou go!”

“Princess, I am Lou.”

The man laughs as if in trouble.

But Lou didn’t look like this.

Not this big. It’s a little smaller and the face is a little more round. more cute and pretty

Even the fingers were different. When stroking Lilitha’s hair, her fingers were more than half smaller than this person’s.

Above all, it wasn’t the lips when Lou cast a spell on his forehead.

Rilisha clenched her fists and shouted.

“Who are you!”

＜ Who are you! ＞
