Remarried Empress — Chapter 249. Go At The Same Time (2)

Joanson paced worriedly around his room.

Then through the small drawing room, through his sister’s bedroom, through the kitchen, through the dining room, through the bathroom, through the garden and back through the drawing room… He moved from place to place, unable to stay still for a moment.

It was the only thing he could do.

It had been a long time since he had last heard from his sister who regularly sent him letters.

Although his sister lived in the imperial palace, she was not far away.

His sister lived close enough to get in contact within a few hours at most through a messenger.

‘So why haven’t I heard from her?’

It was the first time he had not heard from his sister since she entered the imperial palace as a maid.

‘It’s worrying. Damn, is she really all right?’

At first, he thought that his sister had attended the wedding of the Emperor and the Empress of the Western Empire.

Because his sister had told him that the new Empress, Rashta, had only two maids, herself included.

At the time Joanson had admired the new Empress, “What a simple woman, she is truly humble!” That memory was still vivid in his mind.

The Empress would not go alone to a distant country, so she must have taken all her maids on her journey.

Joanson thinking this way calmed his anxiety a little.

But days after the arrival of the Empress and the Emperor, he still had no news of his sister.

Only rumors of a second concubine of the Emperor.

At this point, Joanson began to seriously worry about his sister’s whereabouts.

Eventually, Joanson decided to go to the imperial palace to find out the whereabouts of his sister.

Since he had come to the palace several times as a journalist, the guard recognized Joanson’s face and let him in immediately.

Joanson went through a complicated process to be able to talk to the palace’s internal affairs official.

“I haven’t heard from my sister, Delise, in a month. Ah, my sister works here.”

“Your sister?”

“Yes, she is a maid of the Empress.”

“Are you sure you haven’t heard from her in a month?”

“It’s… It’s about a month, not exactly. Maybe a little more or a little less…”

The palace internal affairs official clicked his tongue as if in annoyance and said casually.

“If she was a pretty-faced maid, she probably ran away with some knight who fell in love with her.”

Joanson clenched his fist tightly as he resisted the urge to shout, ‘How dare you talk about my sister like that?!’

After all, he was in no position to make a fuss.

“Still, you can check it out.”

When Joanson handed him some silver coins, the official asked condescendingly,

“Yes, where does your sister work?”

It was a question he had already cleared up. The official had not even paid attention to Joanson’s words earlier.

Joanson became angry, but quickly responded before the official could change his mind.

“In the West Palace, where Her Majesty the Empress resides.”

Joanson said exactly what he had heard from his sister.

The palace internal affairs official nodded and looked at the list of employees in his hands.

However, the answer the journalist received was totally unexpected.

“You said your sister’s name is Delise, right? That girl seems to have quit the job.”

Joanson objected even more confused,

“How can that be?! Take a closer look!”

The official responded sullenly.
