Chapter 326 (1/2)

Even if I drank one or two glasses of wine, I could not sleep because of some heaviness on my heart. In the end, I reluctantly called the royal doctor. I was going to sleep even after having some sleeping pills.

While the doctor was prescribing the dosage of the pill, a servant asked the doctor cautiously. As I was puzzled by his question, I asked him to tell me about the details. Shuddering with fear, the servant said something surprising. He said he heard the rumor that the concubine laughed heartily when she heard about Jiun’s miscarriage, and that the maids whispered among themselves that they had never heard her laughing so loudly before.

I blew my top at that.

What did she do? How cruel she is! If so, was she responsible for Jiun’s miscarriage? Did she do it to keep her position as the royal concubine even at the risk of sacrificing her father?

When I thought as far as that, I could not stand my anger any more. I wanted to behead her immediately.

Clang!

I threw the glass and the silver tray.

The wine bottle was immediately smashed to pieces. The wine that poured from the broken bottle stained the marble floor and silver tray.

Nevertheless, I looked around to grab anything to smash, controlling my raging anger.

What a cruel woman! Even if she were caught, it was obvious that she would make excuses that her family was falsely charged. For nobody would think the Monique family would betray the imperial family.

< Your Majesty, I’m sorry to tell you this, but your anger is rather excessive. I wonder if you are sick…>

I stared at the female royal doctor intensely as if to kill her when she spoke cautiously.

What did you say? I’m over the top? Do you want me to stay calm in this situation?

At the moment, Monique’s indifferent look overlapped with her face. I got upset again at her condescending look. How dare you despise me?

I took the sword from the royal knight who came into the room, then struck her down.

Blood was gushing from the woman who feebly collapsed on the spot.

As I felt some big load off my chest at that moment, I threw the blood-stained sword, then turned around.

When I finally calmed down, I felt something strange. I didn’t realize it when I cut a couple of servants, but this time I felt I went too far after cutting the royal doctor a little while ago.

I thought I might be suffering from illness, but called the marquis, holding my stinging head because I wanted to solve the most troublesome matter first.

Called into my room, Marquis Monique stopped while trying to respond to the rumors that Lady Monique was the culprit. Then he opened his mouth after keeping silent for a while.

His point was that he could disappear from me, saying he couldn’t allow his family to be disgraced on false charges.

He asked me to disguise Lady Monique as dead because of the aftereffect of her miscarriage, saying that he and his daughter would never come back to the capital.

I thought his request was ridiculous. The two dukes, his close friends, would not sit on their hands when he asked to retire from politics. Besides, there was no chance that Lady Monique, hungry for power, would follow him without any resistance.

Did he notice my intentions? He said that he would take care of the two dukes’ possible opposition, and added that he already discussed the matter with his daughter.

I was confused by what he just said. In no time, I was raging with anger again.
