Episode six. The inferiority complex of Canary

Tesha stomped her little feet across her mansion.

Tesha discovered Cassius in a gymnasium in a backwater.

Even though it was an abandoned and old mansion, it was furnished as if to commemorate the glory of the past.

Cassius was swinging his sword like a beast, attempting to free himself from the emperor's neglect.

Tesya yelled at Cassius at the top of her lungs.

"Dear Sir Cassius!! Kelluk! Ka-si-us-Sir! "

Tesha stomped her feet and coughed, remembering the warnings of the others to never set foot near Cassius' sword.

Cassius, thankfully, stopped training after hearing Tesha's voice.

"What's all the commotion about?"

Cassius approached Tesha, wiping away his sweat with a towel and stroked her hair.

"That's it, greatness!"

"Take a deep breath."

Cassius extended her water bottle to Tesha.

Tesha sipped her water and wiped her brow.

"Lord Cassius, you have a visitor! Sir Therian wants you to ablute quickly and come out!"

"Didn't Therian say he was going to get a suit?"

"that is...! You received a gift from the Earl Pierst family. Someone was dragged from the dressing room by the madam! Locate Lord Cassius. They claimed to have come to match the outfits for the tea! "

Cassius gave him a frown.

Pierst, Earl?

What the hell is a family doing to be so nice to a slave-born knight?

I learned with my body as a child that there is no kindness without a cost.

'shit. You should be familiar with the system.'

Cassius, who had just arrived on the island, was clueless.

At the very least, Therian was running around gathering information, but this was insufficient.

Cassius is a new force in the system, and the central nobility is tightly knit together like a deceased person.

In the midst of all of this, Count Pierst's family extended his hand without any prior contact.

Cassius took a stumbling step.

In the hall, a few knights were resting.

The knight who discovered Cassius clung to him with a white face.

"Ladies, ladies, ladies!" This is the estate! "

"How come?"

"

"Because you're a lady!" Not just one, but multiple... … ! You were stunning! "

"Let go! What's the big deal about you? "

"Is it because you're a lady?" Uh, even water... Should I even drink water? Do you know how to get out of the car? "

"Does this mansion have a car?"

"

"I have that much!"

"

The knights began to argue amongst themselves.

Cassius looked at them, as if perplexed, and then strode upstairs.

Terrian must be looking after the guests since he is present.

Tesha pounced on Cassius.

"I'm sure I was surprised to see women after such a long time."

A charming smile. Cassius shook his head and laughed.

"This is the main book." Keep an eye on what they're doing, Tesha. Aren't they, as you know, the ones who put their hearts first? "

"yes!"

Tesha excitedly nodded and went downstairs.

Cassius locked his gaze on her back for a moment.

I have nowhere to send Tesya, who claims she has no memory, so I'm taking her... … .

I'm wondering if I should relocate them to a more suitable environment.

There were only rough knights here, and no one to look after Tesha.

It would be nice if the emperor bestowed a proper domain on Cassius, but... … .

"Tsk."

This is not the time to think in this manner.

First and foremost, I needed to go to the banquet hall.

Cassius sighed and went into the lavatory.

***

Cassius entered the drawing room with his hair still wet.

As expected, Therian was sweating while serving guests.

When Therian saw Cassius, he smiled brightly.

""Please take a seat!"

The woman who was talking to Therian stood up and bowed her head.

"My name is Madame Turiel, and I run the Turiel Dressing Room; please call me Turiel, Lord Cassius."

Therian quickly whispered something to Cassius.

"They're calling you a noble, a noble!"

"... Who sent you?"

"It was delivered by Count Fierst."

Turiel gracefully straightened her back.

Turiel was a naturally aristocratic person, despite his polite demeanour.

Given the manner in which Count Fierst treated Cassius, it was clear that Count Fierst was hiding something.

Cassius sat in his chair.

"Sit down. I suppose I should tell you the story first: if you pick up anything as a gift and eat it, you will undoubtedly become ill."

Turiel beamingly smiled.

"yes. If so."

Turiel reclined in his chair.

"Would you be willing to pass on the people around you?" My employees will be bitten as well."

Cassius nodded, and Therian led everyone else out the door, a sad expression on his face.

The door quickly shut. Cassius stated emphatically.

"Therian! From there, take 20 steps back."

"Sheesh!

"

Outside, I heard a muffled sound, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Cassius leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed.

"For generations, the Fierst family has worked for the Rotera family."

Turiel began speaking softly.

"Lindei, the maid of honour at the empress' palace, came to see me this morning." She wishes to purchase clothing for Lord Cassius. Do you have any idea who sent me? "

Zira Turiel, who had no intention of keeping it a secret, confessed meekly.

Lindey instructed her to carry on her business in the name of Fierst, but she did not instruct Cassius to hide her.

"Renisha, Empress."

Renisha appears to be standing in front of Cassius once more.

Her piercing pink eyes were fixed on Cassius.

On Renisha's back, she could see an afterimage of the Duke of Lottera riding her horse.

Cassius wiped his brow with his hand.

"The Empress... Why do you look after someone like me?"

"

"I'm not sure either. Her Majesty the Empress, on the other hand, chose Sir Cassius. Lord Cassius, it is now your turn to respond. Do you want to receive a gift? "

Cassius' finger tapped his forearm.

'Do I have the ability to cover cold or hot rice?

'

The only empress in the banquet hall appeared normal.

The name Duke Rotera came to mind.

He keeps going back and forth in his mind even after he dies, as if he is leading Cassius.

Cassius nodded firmly.

"Give it to me."

"excellent. well thought out."

Can I get an answer about Renisha if I ask?

Cassius entered the mansion full of knights while keeping an eye on Turiel, who maintained his cool.

She was curious about the empress' personality.

It was time for Cassius, who had been hesitant to open his mouth.

smart!

"I delivered tea!"

Therian, who couldn't help but be curious, was quick.

"car?

"

Before I could respond, "Where can I find something like this?

"The door flew open.

Therian exchanged glances with Turiel and Cassius before placing the goblet containing the dark rust-colored liquid in front of them.

Cassius drank it with a mysterious expression on his face.

Oh, Coke!

Cassius swallowed the astringent liquid while covering his mouth.

Cassius glared at Therian, irritated by the bitter taste in his throat.

"Can you explain why?"

"Did you bring any poisons?"

"It can't be! We are genuine herbal tea! That was for the best!"

Turiel sipped his tea while smiling.

"It's astringent from steeping it for so long, but it's marigold tea.""

You drink that like that, God? She is also not a simple woman.

Cassius made a clicking motion with his tongue.

***

Fortunately, I accepted Cassius's gift.

Cassius may have been able to decipher Renisha's will to some extent because Turiel must have behaved well.

Renisha was the first person to extend her hand to Cassius.

Lenisha messed around with her necklace.

It was a small locket necklace worn around the neck all the time.

Renisha was good at it when she was lost in her own thoughts.

Renisha received an unexpected visitor late in the evening.

"That is not possible!"

"Move out of the way." If His Majesty the Emperor was made aware of this action, he would be overjoyed. I simply wish to speak with Her Majesty before dinner. Isn't it a disgrace to even overlap a dress? "

It was a little intimidating.

He will definitely humiliate Renisha at the dinner table if they don't meet now.

Renisha pushed herself up from her chair.

"Allow them in."

"However, Your Majesty!

"

The ladies-in-waiting creased their brows.

They are well aware that they do not enjoy breathing the same room air as Canary.

Renisha's ladies-in-waiting were all nobles, in fact.

She was not the type of person a canary with no title would treat her like that.

"I'm not going to learn how to do that." You must approach it with compassion."

Even the canary appeared to have heard the voice through the crack in the door that had been forced open.

Lenisha pressed her lips together.

"How empty it must be to have the only other woman's husband to lean on," she said. You should also know how to be compassionate towards others."

"A stone-like woman who can't even conceive."

The canary pushed her door open, retorting angrily.

Canary used the fan she was holding to point at Renisha.

"She appears to have lost sight of her husband's approval."

"What do you expect from a woman who places her own worth in a child and believes I'm only in her natural womb?" Linday, are you sure? "

Linday smiled broadly.

Renisha simply acted as if she couldn't hear Canary's words.

Renisha had messed up her hair.

"She didn't even allow the owner to come in, and acting ignorant... It appears that the time she spent in the imperial castle was useless," she said.

"Her Majesty, the Empress."

Her flushed face made the canary shudder.

She swallowed before she could say anything.

"She will soon be kicked out of the imperial castle, so what are you going to do?" she asked.

"

Canary let out a soft laugh.

"What if this canary bore her Imperial Majesty's child?" So, what are you going to do now? "

"well."

Renisha's gaze was drawn to Canary.

Canary, whose gaze met Renisha's, took two unintentional steps back.

The canary was pierced by her pale pink eyes.

"Even if you say she is, she hasn't had a child in years." Is she really saying she can have children? "

Renisha expertly stabbed Canary's fear.

Pagans speculated that the insane emperor had lost his reproductive abilities.

The canary bit her lower lip firmly.

Renisha, who had been humiliated in the banquet hall, seemed mortified to her.

She pushed in because she wanted to see her miserable expression.

She feels better after seeing her face.

Renisha remained arrogant. enough to make her turn inside out.

In the past, she had imagined herself as a maid who had wiped the empress's feet.
