“Say it right. We didn’t abandon you, you abandoned us. If you thought about the Bugatti Kingdom at all, you should have been careful in your actions. But you didn’t. You didn’t think about our Bugatti Kingdom at all!”
Nav looked at his servants.
“Take out Jestina and put her in the carriage. We will take her to the kingdom.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
But Jestina resisted.
She couldn’t back down like this.
“I can’t be dragged around like this! It’s unfair!”
“Go to the Kingdom and complain about your injustice. At least there will be someone there who will listen.”
Nav looked at his servants.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Nav’s servants forced Jestina into a cart.
“Let go of me! I can’t go back like this!”
Nav ordered.
“Gag her.”
Jestina’s mouth was muzzled by Nav’s orders.
“Eup! Ugh.”
Jestina struggled, but Nav didn’t budge.
When Jestina was dragged out like that, other princesses watched her.
“What? Is she being dragged out?”
“That’s right. It seems I lived long enough to witness Jestina being dragged out.”
“Isn’t this just receiving what she deserves for her actions? She should have lived more virtuously, indeed.”
“That’s true.”
The princesses sighed as they looked at Jestina.
It was unexpectedly satisfying to watch the person who had done many wrongdoings suffer the consequences.
But there were princesses who didn’t feel that way.
They were all princesses who followed Jestina.
Seeing Jestina, their central point, being forcibly deported, they were worried about the future.
Especially Princess Leona. She felt like her entire pillar was pulled out.
‘I only trusted you, but how could you betray me like this! Now who do I trust?’
But she didn’t give up her ambition.
Her eyes turned to Rosemary Palace.
‘I’ll take it.’
Since the owner was gone, shouldn’t it welcome a new owner?
Leona decided that she would definitely become the new owner of Rosemary Palace.

When there was such a disturbance in the palace, Priscilla was sitting in the garden gazette and resting.
And there she heard from Lili about Jestina.
“Back to the Bugatti Kingdom?”
“She didn’t go back, she was taken away. She was put in a carriage with a gag.”
“So you’re thrilled?”
Lili nodded at Priscilla’s words.
“It’s exciting, she’s the woman who made my sister sick! I’m angry even now when I think about it now.”
“Now that you’ve seen it firsthand, do you feel a bit relieved?”
“A little. After seeing Jestina, I realized that people receive blessings by living a good life.”
Priscilla patted Lili on the head as if she were proud.
“How admirable?*”
[*TN: Took a while to translate this one since it’s an old saying and the question mark threw me off but it’s an expression used when someone is very kind and admirable, but you feel sorry for them being in a pitiful situation.]
“Hehe, you’re welcome.”
“What are you two so happy about? Did you both have interesting stories to share, except for me?”
Priscilla told Jestina’s story to Rien who appeared.
“But why didn’t you go out? I thought you were going to see it for yourself.”
“What’s the point of seeing it? It only builds up bad feelings for each other.”
Although not the heroine, she* harbored ill feelings toward her.
[*TN: Jestina towards Priscilla]
The same was true of the chandelier case.
In return for hating her, she was beaten by Michael, and returned to the Kingdom.
There she was told she would be put on trial.
‘At least your life was spared.’
~~~~
A few hours after Jestina had left, Michael came to the bedroom.
He was still a handsome and desirable man that anyone would be attracted to.
If he appeared that way even in her own eyes, how could he not appear that way to other women?
‘That visual is the problem.’
Priscilla didn’t like it.
Even though the novel setting was like that, how could he be so perfect?
“Are you feeling better?”
And that voice.
Why do you call it the voice of the devil.
If she was possessed, there was no doubt that she was firmly possessed.
Otherwise, there was no way she would have pushed Michael away and suffered from the wounds.
“I’m all right. I’m getting treatment well.”
Michael’s eyes turned to her back, which was still bandaged.
“You’re still wearing a bandage.”
“It takes a few more days to be cured.”
For a moment, Michael’s expression was colored with regret.
“Why did you do that?”
“Yes?”
“Why me…”
Michael shut up.
Priscilla looked up at his face.
His hand touched Priscilla’s cheek.
“…!”
For a moment Priscilla opened her eyes wide with surprise at the touch she felt.
His friendly touch was so unfamiliar, but she didn’t hate it.
Michael said, stroking Priscilla’s cheek carefully.
“I really don’t know you.”
Michael opened and closed his hand, then he removed it from Priscilla’s face.
“Thanks to you, I got what I wanted. I appreciate it.”
Priscilla erased her embarrassed expression and pursed his lips sullenly.
She didn’t like how surprised she was by his touch.
“With only your mouth?”
“What?”
“It’s all just words of gratitude? Shouldn’t I be rewarded with something? I even got hurt for the sake of Your Majesty.”
Michael smirked at Priscilla’s confident words.
She laughed at her coming on so boldly.
“A reward… Yeah, what can I do for you.”
Michael pretended to think carefully and said with a peculiar smile.
“I’ll move your palace.”
This time Priscilla was surprised.
“You’re moving it again?”
“Now that you’re officially my wife, I’ll give you the proper treatment. I’ll move your palace to Stella Palace.”
“Stella Palace?”
Priscilla fumbled in her memory.
Was there such a palace in the novel?
It’s a palace she had never heard of.
“There was such a palace?”
“It’s natural that you don’t know. Stella Palace was a palace exclusively used by the most favored queens in history.”
She didn’t even know there was such a thing.
Indeed, Siena, the heroine, went through the Concubine Palace and became an Empress, so there was no way that the Queen’s Palace would come up.
“It’s very close to the Emperor’s Palace. Because it’s right next to the Empress’ Palace.”
“What?”
The palace right next to the Empress’ Palace?
Oh, why has she never seen it before?
“Can’t we just live here?”
For Priscilla, it was not a prize.
“To be separated from the Emperor means being further away, not closer.”
But Michael was adamant.
“No. Now you are officially my wife and the Queen of this empire. It’s hard to avoid the abuse of other princesses if you stay here.”
Priscilla didn’t like it, but he wasn’t wrong.
But she didn’t like it either.
“Would it be different there?”
“Different. At least Stella’s Palace is in a position I can protect it.”
Yes, the Concubine Palace is far from the Emperor’s Palace.
That’s why she liked it.
They didn’t have to see each other often if they were far away.
There’s nothing to see unless he comes in as he did now.
But if they were close, she would see the Emperor even if she didn’t want to see him.
She hadn’t been able to get her mind right yet, but it would be difficult if she got more possessed here.
“Aren’t you supposed to give me what I want for the reward? The premise of moving the palace is not what I want.”
Michael suddenly drew his face close.
“What do you want?”
Priscilla’s heart was pounding like crazy.
With a good face right in front of her, she felt like her face was heating up.
Priscilla turned her head back in a hurry.
“You’re too close.”
“Is that why you blushed?”
Michael raised the corners of his mouth.
“It’s not like that.”
Priscilla quickly cooled the heat in her face with the fan of her hand.
“Anyway, please listen to what I want.”
“Tell me.”
She must have missed her freedom anyway, so Priscilla thought she should do what she wanted to do inside the palace.
“I have a plant I want to grow.”
Michael narrowed his brows.
“The cat wasn’t enough, you want to raise plants?”
“Please listen.”
However, it was not an unacceptable demand.
Michael folded his arms and asked.
“Okay, what do you want to raise?”
“A coffee tree.”
“Coffee tree?”
She had seen it in books, but never in real life.
Michael didn’t know what Priscilla was thinking at all.
She was a really odd woman.
“Why on earth would you raise it?”
“Do I have to explain why?”
“All right, I’ll let you.”
“One more thing.”
Priscilla smiled with her eyes.
“What else?”
“I need coffee tree seeds and a greenhouse to grow them.”
“Seeds and a greenhouse?”
“Yes.”
“It’s not one thing, it’s two things.”
“You can listen to that much.”
Michael smiled while looking into Priscilla’s eyes, which were gazing at him like a puppy.
“I’ll listen.”
“Thank you, hehe.”
“Don’t laugh like that, it’s weird.”
“It’s weird?”
“Yes, it’s ugly.”
At that moment, a blood vessel rose on Priscilla’s forehead.
How dare you say such rude things to a woman.
Yeah, she will let it slide because it’s him. Because he was the Emperor.
“The greenhouse is in Stella Palace, so you can use it there. It’s the palace you’re going to use anyway, so tell Alfred to fix it too.”
“I’m using it?”
“Yes, didn’t I say that? I’ll move your palace to Stella Palace.”
“You’re saying you’re going to move my palace and listen to my request?”
“Of course, unlike someone else, I’m a person who pays double the debt of my life.”
Priscilla frowned.
“Who are you talking about, me?”
