Episode 143
Jain only then understood her situation. Lucerne has come to deal with her first and her wife's faults.
“Sah, save me. I didn't have the will to work at that time. What power do I have You have to do what you're told…….”
She started praying to her lucerne that Jain had. Lucerne shook her head.
“I want to kill you right now.”
Lucerne leaned over and whispered to her.
“My wife told me to give you a chance. What does it mean that I'm here You, please explain.”
Lucerne pointed to her pansy. Pansy was trembling.
“Ka, Carola-sama's plan was discovered…….”
“Okay. So, will Carola be safe?”
“…….”
“Looks like both of them are not working well. Let me explain just once. Find your way to live.”
Lucerne spoke softly.
“Got it”
Lucerne tapped Zayn on the cheek with the tip of her scabbard.
“Fill my expectations. If you want to preserve limbs.”
Pansy and Jain exchanged glances. Fear flashed in their eyes. Ian shrugged her shoulders.
“I don't think I understand what you mean.”
“Then lose the guy first. If you lose, you will understand.”
“…… General. I'll do it. He is the one who tarnished the honor of our mistress.”
Nora said with a blind eye.
“Yes.”
Lucerne smiled and said. Ian whistled. He knew that once Nora got poisoned, her hands were rougher than anyone else.
“Ian. Take her wife.”
Fortunately, Elisha did not see the scene. Because Lucerne ordered it that way.

“Let's go. Lady.”
Said Ian.
“The general and Nora will take care of that matter.”
Before long, a bloody sound of someone being beaten began to echo from the cabin. Elisha didn't look back at her. She wondered if her pale cheeks were showing. And he hid her trembling hands by holding them tight.
'I hate what I don't like.'
Elisha thought, recalling her identity.

Early this morning, Elisha is the royal family and the duchy. She lit two families on fire. She hopes that the masters of the house will make the fire great. And she wanted to ride Jewel and Carola to her heart's content.
The two families each chose to take the family member who had the accident and press them. The emperor hid in the outbuilding. The people of the duke dragged Carola into her basement and locked her in the wine cellar.
The relationship between the imperial family and the duke's family is very delicate. Although they were mostly companions. Their relationship was close to the realm of politics and cult. Even a small incident could shake the balance.
Not to mention, this time, a huge incident occurred on the day the imperial family showed the gesture of friendship.
'At this point,
It wouldn't matter if that happened.'
The tense relationship between the imperial family and the ducal family, which maintained a peaceful atmosphere, collapsed with cracks. From now on, the important thing for those in power is
Was to fix it.
It was strangely quiet inside the duke's house today. It was like that on days when the family head was upset. Hundreds of employees walked about, holding their breath and muffled footsteps. And I desperately hoped that no one would die. Even so, none of the servants left the duke's house voluntarily.
'Because money flows to the Duke's family. Sometimes he even reaches out to his employees.'
Only the Lucerne couple and their retinue were truly peaceful in this mansion.
Elisha was sitting on a long chair in Lucerne's room. She was leaning against Lucerne's torso, which was sitting on a chair. She and she sat comfortably with her legs stretched out.
It had been a long time since she had taken off her pure white dress like a shroud. Elisha was wearing a navy blue dress made with naturally sparkling silver threads. Her skirt flowed like a waterfall from the bottom of the chaise longue.
“As expected, you look better in colorful clothes than shroud-like clothes.”
Lucerne said.
“The memorial service has been canceled. You don't have to wear it anymore. It's not even a funeral.”
Elisha responded calmly.
“The housekeeper will be sorry. I would have expected that inspiration, the memorial service.”
Lucerne seemed to be having fun.
“From the beginning, I had no intention of spending a memorial service or memorial service.”
Elisha said plainly.
“Is it?”
Lucerne responded affectionately.
“Yeah, why am I holding an event at someone else's house?”
Elisha shook her head.
“As for appeasing the ghosts associated with this house, the well-to-do people of this family will take care of it.”
“Very good.”
Lucerne laughed as if he was genuinely amused. He liked this side of Elisha.
“Well then, my smart wife. Now tell me how the two families will come out.”
Elisha had a box of fine chocolates on her lap. She was leisurely eating chocolate.
She stayed awake last night, and without sweets and tea, her mind was hazy. But she couldn't sleep. She had never had such an exciting morning.
“Unless Princess Ilione is an idiot, this will make it big. She thinks terribly of her one and only little brother. Because the only obstacle blocking her path was Jewel.”
“We should look forward to Ilione's performance.”
“Yes, if she is a true member of the imperial family, wouldn't she prepare a weapon to hit Jewel in the back of the head at a time like this?”
Lucerne put the chocolate back into Elisha's mouth. She savored it slowly. He pretended not to know that Lucerne's finger pressed firmly against Elisha's lower lip.
“Either Prince Jewel or Carol are not worth losing from the two families. It will save her life, but that's all. Their future is over.”
For the people of the Cartier family, there is no opponent they cannot replace. The same goes for being human. They are the ones who can replace the emperor if they want.
“The emperor will cover Jewel.”
Lucerne seemed to be having fun with Elisha. Elisha said a bit bored.
“It can't be. Anyway, Jewel is not the emperor's biological son. When she is at peace, she will be able to love and take care of Jewel as if she were her own child. But the true nature of those in power is revealed when they have something to lose. In this case, peaceful relations with the duchy. She could lose it. The emperor might look badly at the duke's power being too strong. But you don't want to break the peace like this.”
“Therefore?”
“I will throw away Jewel.”
Elisha remembered Yepnen, who was being abused by Jewel. Did the Emperor really not know that?
“Adopted or biological. There must be people in the world who can love and grow equally equally. But the emperor of a country is not like that. Such a kind person cannot sit on the throne of emperor no matter how peaceful the situation may be.”
“…….”
“It's the powerful who abandon even their own children.”
Lucerne was satisfactory.
“That's a good insight. After all, I have the best woman.”
Elisha blinked lazily in her eyes.
“…… Furthermore. Ilione is your guardian to the next powerful emperor. So, it's not bad to sort out the affairs of the imperial family and let them take care of themselves.”
That was the picture Elisha was drawing.
The Hwangga was originally on the side of Lucerne. After this incident, Ilione will fully trust Lucerne. Because Elisha drew the picture like that.
Besides, Rosaria was behind them. Then Lucerne is now the imperial family and the temple. He will be protected by both powers. The scales were already tipping.
“You are really good at helping me. I never asked for it I think you will be impressed, so what?”
Elisha thought Lucerne's eyes were cold. Will he really appreciate it?
'No way.'
Lucerne was no fool. This path Elisha was going, and everything she did, was ultimately to free herself. Lucerne couldn't have known that.
“How do you feel about Carola and Jacob?”
Lucerne explained briefly.
'Carola! I can never forgive you! I'll cut the bitch right now!'
The sound of Jacob holding his sword and shouting loudly shook the entire duchy. To that extent, Jacob was angry and lost his reason.
Rather, he said, he had a hard time making the housekeeper end up in prison.
“The family head is more frightening. Jacob will go wild all the way, but he will take revenge on Carola more thoroughly.”
“Isn't that a more grown-up way?”
“The family head is more sophisticated. Just like you are detaining and abusing Merha.”
“Are you trying to live?”
Elisha and Lucerne exchanged glances. Elisha was meekly embraced by Lucerne. And she buried her cheek in Lucerne's arms. Lucerne stroked Elisha's soft hair.
“What is it? You must be in a good mood.”
“Since you listened to my request, I feel good too.”
“Now you're trying to control me.”
Lucerne had a puzzled expression. But she didn't look offended.
“But why are you Prince Jewel?”
“Yes?”
“I understand that you wanted to get revenge on Jacob and deal with Carola. But why did you choose Jewel as the person you want to destroy together?”
“…….”
“Do you have any grudge against the boy?”
In her previous life, Jewel was a mad prince and sadist who misbehaved with her women. She was rather quiet now.
In addition, Jewel's verbal abuse towards Elisha came to mind.
'A pitiful year. Why do you live like that when you're old? If you're like me, you'll die.'
A few years later, Jewel and Carola develop into a man-woman relationship.
'They say that four years is a thorn in Carola's eyes. Why the hell would you bother a nice, sweet lady like Carola? He's so ugly that he's jealous of pretty girls like Carola. I hear you flirt with Carola's husband at every step?'
There were many people who abused Elisha because of her carola. Mimosa was such an existence close to her. However, none of them trampled Elisha's pride as cruelly as Jewel. Ironically, Elisha is bullied by Jewel, and she confirms that she still has something of her pride left in her.
'Carola only met men like me.'
Carol, too, had some kinky tastes. So there was no way that the man she met was not a pervert.
One day, Jewel made Elisha in her underwear and hit her with a cane. Elisha's white skin was quickly stained with red plum marks. Jewel was excited to see it. So was she with Carol.
'Oh, seeing her crying makes Carola so excited. She punishes bad people. The prince is such a good person. Thank you for protecting Carola!'
Luckily, Jewel was very picky about her face, so he didn't touch Elisha sexually.
That night, Jewel and Carola locked Elisha in a very large chest. It was where Carola usually put her clothes and valuables. On top of what looked like a coffin, twenty-three-year-old Jewel and older Carola did just that.
Carola exclaimed. 'Elisha I'm more excited because it's underneath. Carola is so good.' Like this.
Even thinking back on it, it was an unpleasant memory. It was also the most bizarre and strange thing she had ever experienced in her previous life.
'Carola. She was your future lover anyway.'
Elisha thought indifferently.
'So, wouldn't it be better to get involved a little earlier? You should thank me.'
