“I can't sleep, then I'll go outside for a while,” muttered Scarlesia moved away from her bed.
The atmosphere of the hallway around his room was very quiet, as it was already past midnight so people were entering into the dream mode beautifully. It didn't matter to him as this would make it easier for him to go out in search of a fresh breeze. Scarlesia went to a fairly spacious balcony, where there was a long bench, as well as many refreshing flower plants. On the bench sat a man looking up at the sky, the man was Louis.
“Louis!” call Scarlesia.
Louis immediately turned his head because he heard Scarlesia's voice, he sumringah when he saw Scarlesia and immediately told to sit beside her.
“Are you not sleeping?” ask Scarlesia.
“No, how about you yourself? Looks like you have trouble sleeping too yeah,” replied Louis.
“Yes, but what have you seen since? Did you see that ruined moon?” terka Scarlesia points toward the moon.
“Hmm, the moon was destroyed because of my own actions even though the light was very soothing but because I was unable to master my serial changes so forced the month to be destroyed,”
Scarlesia smiled faintly, she understood Louis' feelings and understood that Louis actually liked the moon very much.
“I'll return the month as it was,”
Not waiting for long, Scarlesia fixed her moon using the power of a sky god that could be utilized to repair the broken celestial bodies. The moon shone like before, the moonlight instantly bouncing towards the two of them.
“Wahh the moon is back, but what if later I run amok again and hurt you like then? I was so scared when I imagined it,”
Scarlesia exhaled, she clasped Louis's hand with confidence.
“Trust me, if it happens I will stop you. I won't kill you, don't worry about that kind of thing because I'm sure you can definitely control that great power that's within you,” Scarlesia said.
“OK, I will believe in Sia,” Louis said with a smile.
After saying that, Louis' expression returned grim and sad. Maybe there's something else that makes it like this.
“Louis, what are you thinking? It seems like your mood is being complicated,” Scarlesia is trying to figure it out for herself.
“Is it so visible? I have been struggling to hide it. I just thought that you were so strong, I felt that I was weaker than the others. Sometimes I feel like I don't need my presence. I'm so sad to think about it,”
“I am very strong does not mean I do not need you and others, but rather I desperately need your presence by my side. You don't have to humble yourself, I loved you from the very beginning we met long before today. You are waiting for me at all times without complaining when I will come, I feel less if you are not there beside me. You are my complement, my beloved heart, you are not weak but you are strong so do not be humble anymore. Okay?”
Scarlesia looked into Louis' eyes, her eyes not lying when she said she really needed Louis by his side. Louis' heart felt called and his sadness disappeared as Scarlesia spoke of her meaning to her lover.
“Sia, I love you,”
“I love you too,”
Louis kissed Scarlesia's lips, and Scarlesia also returned her kiss warmly. Under the moonlight the feeling of love between the two seemed real, the beautiful moonlight accompanied them on this cold night.
The next day, news of Qirani's complete recovery spread throughout the empire. The problem of Qirani being poisoned is also widespread, this is bad news that no one ever thought possible.
“Your Majesty! I want to report that Doctor Efrem committed suicide during interrogation,” one of the guard knights reported to Scarlesia.
Scarlesia was guided by the knight to the cell of the prisoner, where there was Eldrick and his two brothers and there was Lucas and Victor followed by the arrival of Edward.
“It looks like he is hiding the real culprit,” Victor said.
“Sia, can you see what kind of poison he used?” ask Aldert.
“Alright, I'll try to check it,”
Scarlesia came forward to inspect Efrem's already extremely cold body, she checked it carefully so that nothing was missed.
“Not wrong anymore, this is venomous bat poison. This poison will kill the internal organs of the victim, the poison that attacks from the inside to destroy all organs in his body,” Scarlesia explained.
“Ya. Leave this matter alone, leave it to the imperial investigators. Now we go out first,” take Edward.
“Good Your Majesty,”
Finished out of the holding cell, Edward told Scarlesia to come to his room because there were some things she wanted to talk about with Duke Freya and Marquess Liana.
“Greetings Your Majesty, introduce me Duke Freya,”
“Greetings Your Majesty, I am Marquess Liana,”
Seeing two women who became the leader of a noble family is certainly still too foreign to Scarlesia who usually lives in Roosevelt who raised the position of a man.
“No need to be too polite, you two just sit down. I still haven't been made available with a call like that,” Scarlesia said with a clumsy smile.
Edward and Scarlesia join the two of them, Scarlesia feels a little awkward faced with two mature and charismatic women like Duke Freya and Marquess Liana.
“Sia, actually like this, the process of your appointment as the crown princess does not seem to be able to run smoothly because there are still other descendants of girls who are in Evariste. So, the nobles advocated for a test to determine who would be more deserving of the position. Can you take it?” bright Edward.
“I had expected that this would happen, even though I was a direct descendant of the 57th emperor but still I was an outsider who was still lay about Evariste. I will accept it if it has to be a test, I also hope it will change the views of the nobles who reject me,” Scarlesia said.
Duke Freya and Marquess Liana were amazed to see Scarlesia's calm in accepting the decision set by the nobles in the meeting overnight.
“Sorry Your Majesty, if I may know what exactly is your motivation to become emperor?” marquess Sela Liana.
“I need a high position to protect the people, I don't want to happen when the monster wave happens again. I who is only a duke princess cannot do much when the emperor himself does not believe my words. If I become emperor then when danger comes, people will trust me and obey my orders. Honestly, I became emperor not for myself but to protect others,”
Once again they were amazed at the answer Scarlesia gave them, with nothing to exaggerate and both eyes very honest.
“This girl should be emperor! He was very friendly and not arrogant after knowing his mother's true identity. He had even predicted that there would be a contradiction that occurred as a result of bringing herself in as the crown princess in Evariste. He became emperor to protect the people. He meets the criteria of a leader! Can't! I have to help him get into that position no matter how,” Inner Duke Freya.
