Episode 43. Zishka Rose (2)

and the others decided to send Zishka to Hugo in ten days.

“By the way, would Zishka agree? It’s still a marriage.”

Catherine said.

Hell, Yuma, and Duran all agreed, but only Zishka himself and Hugo’s intentions were unknown.

“It is not a matter of agreeing or not agreeing. I am carrying out the orders of lower Hella, not following the will of lower Zishka.”

Everyone in the meeting room knew that Jishka was a treason criminal, although Joheim’s full story had not yet been revealed.

The will of the treacherous sinner did not matter in carrying out Hella’s command.

If you exclude personal feelings, that’s all.

“And Zishka would agree. Living with that memory would itself be a penance for him.”

Seeing Jishka’s behavior after waking up from the medicine, Yuma thought so. She

wanted

an ‘opportunity to apologize to the people’ to the point of kneeling before her .

The only way was to punish Winslting and Hayes Barris and atone for the rest of his life.

“Still, I have to inform you first.”

“Of course not. Hella’s will inform directly to Zishka.

They still don’t know that Lower Zishka has woken up from the drug.

For ten days, we have to make good use of this fact.”

Setting the date to send to Hugo ten days later was no different. By that time, Yoheim’s evidence about Amanjo was going to enter the capital one after another.

Winslting and Hayes deliberately planned to summon demons to Yoheim, where no one would be interested, and use them. This was because the farther away they were, the more they were free from the surveillance of the capital.

In particular, Yoheim had strong autonomy, so it was perfect for plotting.

Rather, this acted as a benefit to the current Yuma party. Thanks to this, I was able to buy time before sending Zishka to Hugo.

“Bad guys deserve to be punished.

If possible, in a way that can be beaten to death.

* * * Hella sneaked out of the palace using a secret passage and found her sister.

I had visited my sister many times before. Each time, Zishka ignored or ignored Hella’s visit.

Zishka always kept her younger sister in check, but not Hella.

smart smart

smart.

There were only three people in the empire who could directly knock on the imperial princess’s room. A princess like the Empress Grand Duke.

Of course, the empress was free to just open the door and come in.

Even if the rest were Duran Zak, the ladies-in-waiting announced the visit instead.

Sitting on the bed and hearing a knock, Zishka realized that the visitor was his brother.

“Come in.”

Hella stopped knocking and stared at the closed golden door for a moment.

It was a door that had never been opened when he visited. It was the only space in the imperial palace that Hella could never set foot in.

Zishka silently poured a glass of Shallah wine out of the bottle and handed it out to Hella.

Despite scratching her own chest and wearing a bandage on her hair, which she had banged while praying to Yuma, Zishka looked noble and proud.

Clear and powerful eyes and a straight waist. She felt the pride and dignity of a princess in Zishka, who decided to pay the price and accept death.

“Unnie, why did you open all the doors?”

Hella said with a bright voice.

“Did you hear everything?”

Zishka could tell just by looking at Hella’s face and by hearing her voice.

No matter how much I hated them and pushed them away, they were still bloodied.

The Hella seen by Zishka was not strong enough to carry the empire from a young age. Kind, but weak, lacking in determination, like a flower in a greenhouse.

I thought that if I entered the political arena full of trickery and all sorts of dirty conspiracies, I would soon be thrown out in a mess.

But it didn’t matter. She was the second princess. Since the succession to the throne was up to her, her younger sister had only to enjoy the blessing of being born as a princess.

Strangely, however, the empress cared for her younger sister more than herself, who was the first princess and always offered a sharp alternative to the empire’s many sensitive issues.

I hated my brother Just saying that good is good. A younger brother who treats everyone gently was never a vessel to support the empire.

“Yeah, I heard it.”

food.

Zishka smiled lightly.

“How does it feel to be the empress of an empire soon?”

It wasn’t being sarcastic. Zishka has already given up on those things.

“I’m so excited. I am very happy and happy. Are you saying that because you want to hear this answer?”

It was a somewhat exasperated voice.

Hella went out to the balcony and watched Zishka’s back looking at the night sky. It was a narrow and slender shoulder that looked like it could fly away at any moment.

“no. I asked because I wanted to congratulate you.”

When I heard the answer, the tip of my nose stung as if it had been pricked by a needle.

“I’m sorry, sister.”

“What are you sorry about? Don’t do that. I still have you.”

Zishka sipped her wine and fixed her eyes on the night view of the imperial palace and capital spread out from her balcony.

Magic lanterns were shining here and there, dispelling the darkness. It was an indescribably splendid city.

It was also Zishka’s life itself.

There are not many days left to see this scenery. that wasn’t sad

It’s just that he’s drunk on drugs for the past three years and wonders what he’s been doing.

“When I am put to death, burn my body with fire. I am not qualified to enter the tomb of the imperial family.”

“My sister is not dying.”

“Die. Even a princess cannot survive a rebellion.”

“I came here to talk about ways to save Yuma and her sister.”

Zishka turned around.

Zishka, who had been glaring at Hella for a while, soon relaxed her expression and shrugged her shoulders.

“Did you, too, kneel or hit your head?”

“no.”

“Good job. The imperial princess must not kneel to anyone except for her mother.”

“Your sister, marry Hugo of the Black Wolf.”

“Puhahaha…

Zishka grabbed her stomach and laughed for a while.

It wasn’t a laugh that felt like a grotesque or cruel disposition like it had been in the past three years. It was a refreshing laugh that exploded when it was really funny.

“The jokes have grown. Do you really think that is the answer?”

“I’m not kidding.”

“I have no desire to prolong my life miserably. What I did is rebellion that cannot be forgiven for any reason.”

“I think so too. That princesses like us couldn’t be forgiven any more. But before I am a princess, I am a human being. I made up my mind to save her as a younger sister, not as a princess.”

“Leave it. I have already accepted death. Looking back, it was a very bitter life.”

“No, my sister is not dying. You can’t even die. If you really care for the empire, do what your sister can do and atone for it.”

Zishka’s expression hardened.

“you idiot! Think carefully.

If he sent me as his bride, Hugo would kill that Yuma as well. Do you really not know what this means?”

It was the same as Catherine’s claim. Žižka knew how this was going to be done with just one word.

However, Hella was not completely ignorant of the war and the subsequent situation that could occur when things went wrong.

She, too, hadn’t been living like an ornamental flower in the imperial palace.

After immersing herself in a dispute over the succession of the throne due to the favoritism of the empress, she competed with her sister by cultivating power with her own will and ability.

A picture like that was quite predictable.

“It depends on how my sister does it. Isn’t it possible for your sister to become Hugo’s bride and capture his heart and make him fight for the empire?”

“Hugo will do just that. Don’t you know how much Ma Tan hates the Empire?”

“Yuma is also a member of the Empire. The Puang Merchant is the Imperial Merchant. Also, Yuma’s friend, who is believed to be Hugo’s successor, is also an Imperial person. Sir Cahel Povian, who is there, is also from the Empire.”

“They and I represent different things!”

“What is different? In the end, from Hugo’s point of view, they are all the same Empire people. The common people also captured Hugo’s heart, so is there anything an older sister who is far superior to them can’t do?”

Hella stood up without losing.

But the whole time I was talking, my heart was pounding.

She had never won an argument with her sister. Again, honestly, I didn’t have the confidence to logically convince my sister.

“Yeah, let’s do that. But the risk is too high for the gains. Gambling the fortunes of the Empire to save the life of a high-ranking criminal? You shouldn’t make that choice.”

“If you succeed, you gain a lot more than saving your sister’s life.

You can form an alliance with Matan, a longtime concern of the Empire, and thereby keep the Eastern Kantra Empire in check…

“The Empire is still running well enough. Even without such a gamble, no country, be it Matan or Kantra, could recklessly take over the empire. Why is Hugo crouching when he is the strongest in the world? Because the Empire is that powerful.”

I was speechless. I couldn’t come up with a good story to convince my sister.

“…brother. i know you love me I have to say it now, but no, I realized it. i love you too It’s like love and hatred. That’s why even if you hate it, I can bless you to become empress instead of me.”

“Sister…

“If someone else takes the place instead of me, I will curse and resent her even in death.”

“But my Hella Rose my sister.

isn’t it you I am OK. As long as I can apologize to the people by punishing Obama and Hayes, I have no regrets even if I die.”

In the end, Hella couldn’t hold back her tears and cried in Zishka’s arms.

Zishka was stroking Hella’s hair with her fingers and making a comfortable face.

“…never.”

Hella, who had been crying for a long time, finally opened her mouth.

“You have never listened to my request, sister. I couldn’t understand Mama either. Why do you love me more than my older sister?

Zishka had no choice but to listen to Hella, who was overcome with emotion.

“It was always a burden for me.

Sometimes I was frustrated. But I couldn’t help it. I wasn’t smart enough to be flexible with my mom’s favoritism or to soothe my sister’s sadness.”

“No, to be honest, I could have comforted you. I couldn’t because my sister always closed her heart to me. My sister always hated me and pushed me away. I always went farther to my sister. therefore.”

Zishka had no tears.

It was heavy as if a stone was sitting in my chest and my heart felt distant as if it were submerged in water, but I couldn’t shed tears anymore.

“Then just do me a favor this time. I don’t think I can bear to see my sister die like that…

Far away on the balcony the stars were exceptionally bright.

For a long time, Zishka held her sadly crying brother in her arms and gazed at the clear night sky.
