Chapter 224 (2/2)

Looking at me smiling at her in a leisurely manner, she clenched her teeth and said, “Don’t beat around the bush. I’m talking about what happened at the meeting yesterday. ”

“I hear they dealt with a lot of agendas at the meeting yesterday. Which agenda are you talking about?”

“Are you kidding me? I’m talking about the agenda of the empress! You wouldn’t say you didn’t hear it, right?”

“Oh, I’ve heard about that. So what?”

“What did you do to make our faction members support you as the empress, not me?”

“I have no idea. That’s what I want to ask. ”

I see. Obviously, the noble faction raised the empress issue without Jiun’s agreement in advance. In fact, there was no possibility for her to give up the position of the empress because she said she came back to beat me. The Jena family who valued the family pedigree more than anything else or their successor would not have accepted her from the bottom of their hearts, and they would not have told her that the pro-emperor faction was trying to make the best use of her weakness.

“Why are you asking me about the matter of your faction? Are you not trusted enough to grasp what’s going on in your faction?””

“…Isn’t it the same to you? Every time you’re being played into the hands of your faction for their interests or the interests of your family, right?”

“Hey, stop it if you want to distract me with that kind of cheap trick. At the very least, I’ve got a full grasp of what’s going on in our faction. Don’t treat me like you.”

“Okay, okay. I never thought you’d talk about it anyway, but let me get this straight.”

“Go ahead!”

“Who do you think you are? You said you’d withdraw your name from the candidate for the empress, right? Why did you retract your promise? Why didn’t you refuse it out of hand? Are you still attached to that position?”

I let out a deep sigh. How good would it be if everything was as simple as she said?

Staring at me fiercely when I kept silent, Jiun said, as if she was dumbfounded, “Are you crazy? Are you still attached to that position when you suffered so much? Did you forget what he had done to you in the past just because he looked a bit different these days?”

“What are you talking about?”

“He forcibly had sex with you, killed your father, ruined your family, and aborted your baby. He is the man who killed you. Nonetheless, do you still like him? Are you out of your mind?”

“… Well, don’t you know you were also partly responsible for that? Why are you talking to me like that at this point?”

“Sure, let me admit I’m also responsible, but at least I know his true personality.”

Confessing bitterly, she leaned her back on the sofa with her arms crossed.

Crossing her legs, she opened her mouth, while pretending to stay calm, “Whenever I see you, I feel you are as stupid as you were in the past. You may feel that you have changed, but to me, you haven’t changed at all, compared to the old you. Well, how can I express it? Oh, you don’t have any discerning eye for a man. To be honest with you, you like to see only what you want to when it comes to your lover.”

“So, what do you want to say to me?”

“Are you curious about the true colors of that man that you love so much? Don’t you want to know what happened after you died? ” she asked, sweeping up her black hair.

Red lips curled into a smile on her face. Trying to calm down my nausea, I asked casually, “His true colors?”

“Don’t you remember you told me this the other day? You asked me if I was not still satisfied when I took away your love, honor, position and everything else, right?”

“Yes, I clearly told you so. So what?”

It was obvious, but what was she talking about?

“Love? Are you kidding? Do you think the love he is whispering to your ears will last forever? It lasted only four years for me. He’s made such a big fuss about it for that short period of time.”

As if she was very upset at the mere thought of his love in the past, she swept up her hair hysterically and said, “He turned his back to me after four years when he said he loved me so much. Although I tried my best to love him, he always compared me with you. Ha, isn’t it funny? Although he hated you so much, did all kinds of bad things to you and even killed you with his own hands, he missed you so much. ”

“… What the heck are you talking about? ”

“You know how much he hated you back then, right? He looked very happy for some time after you died because not only you, a pain in the neck, and the two dukes who bothered him too much disappeared, but he seemed to miss you after killing you. He began to miss you at some point.”

She began to raise her voice higher and higher.
