“You’re an evil, cruel bitch!”

The Countess Phillies screamed furiously.

Artizea, the Marchioness Rosan, heard her words vaguely as she was being pulled by both arms.

On her way here, she was hit in the face several times with metal gloves.

Her mouth was torn, broken, and swollen, making it difficult for her to speak.

Even though she tried to walk at her own pace, the knights were forcibly carrying her.

Then, at one point, she injured her ankle.
She didn’t know if it was broken or sprained, but it hurt anyway.

She could no longer walk, so now she had no choice but to be dragged.

Her broken arm hurt, too.
The wrist that the knight twisted was swollen.

When the knights threw her to the floor, Artizea rolled on the cold floor.

“How could you kill Abe!”

The Countess Phillies screamed so loudly, she could vomit blood.

After shaking the arm of the maid who was holding her, she ran up to Artizea and slapped her on the cheek.

Needless to say, the pain was unbearable because her mouth was so badly treated.

Artizea rolled back onto the floor, feeling her gaze fade.

“What did Abe do to deserve that?! How could you kill your own nephew?! You’re a bitch, you must suffer the same fate!”

Artizea looked at the Countess Phillies with a blurred vision.

The Countess Phillies sobbing ran out the other side of the room.
She intended to stab Artizea with anything she could find, whether it was a knife or a candlestick.

Emperor Lawrence, who had been watching the situation closely, approached her.
He grabbed her lovingly by the shoulder and said.

“Calm down, Emma.”

“How can I be calm? She killed my child! How can Your Majesty be so calm? Abe is your son too!”

“Tia is my sister, Emma.
There must be a misunderstanding.”

“I’m going to get revenge! I’m going to avenge my son!”

The Countess Phillies fell to her knees and began to cry loudly.

‘I see, Abe has been murdered.’

Artizea now knew what was going on.

She looked at Lawrence.
He looked sad and downcast,

However, Artizea noticed a small sense of triumph in his eyes.

It was clear that a conspiracy had been prepared against her.

‘First, I will be blamed for murdering your son, making me a criminal.
And then a series of accusations will follow one after another.’

In fact, she had actually committed many crimes, and Lawrence knew most of them.

So there was no need for him to create false accusations against her.

Clearly, the person who hatched this conspiracy was Emperor Lawrence himself.

The Emperor said.

“I can’t believe you committed such a crime, Tia.
Did you really kill Abe?”

One could hear a certain joy in his voice.

Artizea tried to speak.

But before she could open his mouth, the Countess Phillies screamed loudly.

“After that bitch’s maid went to visit him, Abe suddenly vomited black blood and died!”

Lawrence raised his hand and the knights brought in another woman.
She was Artizea’s maid.

The maid knelt down in silence, and Lawrence asked her.

“Is it true that the Marchioness Rosan ordered you to poison Abe?”

“Yes.”

The maid answered politely.

“The plan of the Marchioness Rosan was to kill Abe first, and then to kill His Majesty.
That way, she would be able to take control of the empire.

Everyone in this room buzzed with shock.

Lawrence asked with a sad expression.

“Do you have anything to say about this?”

Artizea showed a dry smile.

What the hell was he thinking?

She had no intention of denying that she was evil.
But being treated like a dumb person made her laugh.

“His Majesty the Emperor, you know what kind of person I am, don’t you? If I had wanted to take over the empire, I would have killed His Majesty, not Abe.”

What good would it do to kill Abe in such a careless way as to make everyone realize if Lawrence were still on the throne? It would only make him more careful.

If she had come up with a plan, she would have killed Lawrence first without anyone knowing.

“Tia, such words are useless.
You’ll have to clear up what happened.”

What good are excuses and explanations at this point? Lawrence had already decided to kill me.

It was too late, no matter what I did, I had no way of surviving, since the emperor himself had decided to kill me for treason.

“I cannot believe it.
Tia, how could you do such a thing?”

“Your Majesty the Emperor, you are the only authority in this Empire.”

Said Artizea.

Her mouth was full of blood, and her tongue was ripped apart by her teeth.

Still, if she could bear the pain, she could say a few more words.

“You now carry the empire on your shoulders, so you should kick the habit of blaming others for everything.
That’s my last piece of advice.”

“Insolence!”

The knight hit her in the face again.

“Take the traitor away from here and lock her up!”

She exclaimed.

Artizea looked at Lawrence with her puffy eyes.
However, he did not interfere.

Artizea did not clearly remember what happened after that.

She was tortured and forced to sign some documents.

She was then taken to court, which was attended only by the emperor, a handful of nobles and officials.
