When the Nemesis Eats the Wicked Woman

strange.

After finally letting all the maids go, I sat down and looked at my room quietly.

Certainly, this room was exactly like my bedroom in Spinel.

It would be impossible to be able to tailor to my taste to this extent without having a deep interest in the other person.

I slowly patted the little tea table, the statue of a little cat, the neat frame of the bed, and the soft, fluffy quilt.

And when I finally opened the chest of drawers, I found a jewelry box wrapped in fine silk.

‘Let’s open it up with doubts.’

There were small notes.

‘What is this?’

I took one of the notes and opened it.

〈My spring bride.
I thought this would suit you.〉

It was… It was the handwriting of Rixus.

I guess he gave me a present.
To me.

I fiddled with the note, then pulled out another one and opened it.

And I was a little surprised.

〈I couldn’t sleep all night.

I can’t sleep a wink without you now.

My bed is so wide and cold…

I think I’m going to die because I miss your body scent.

Candy, I want to see you.〉

Even as I read the note, it felt like my heart was breaking.

Memories that I didn’t know and only Rixus knew were engraved there.

The moments he spoke of, the moments he loved.

‘I can’t believe I collected all these notes instead of throwing them away.’

The box was full of the small notes he sent me.

No one else’s handwriting was visible.

There was only one-way communication from Rixus’, but…

I could tell.

Collecting these notes one by one could be proof of my heart.

“Maybe… what Rixus said might be true.”

It was then, when I was whispering a little.

The doorkeeper announced the arrival of ‘Orléans’.

I calmly closed the box and said,

“Tell him to come in.”

“Your Majesty.”

Duke Orléans came in and greeted me politely, and I pointed across from me.

“Duke Orléans, welcome.”

He sat down and asked cautiously.

“Do you remember anything…?”

“Not at all, but I’m working on it.”

I lowered my eyelids and touched the jewelry box with my fingers.

“One by one, slowly.”

“You don’t have to rush.”

“No, I’m trying to get my memory back as soon as possible.
Having a gap in my memories can be a weakness.”

“You are right.”

I slowly drank the tea brewed by the maids.

Then I asked him.

“What is my reputation among the Aktoum nobles?”

“Supporters, opponents, almost half and half.
Still, there are more supporters.”

“Yes?”

It was surprising.
I thought it would be full of enemies.

It looked like I had tried quite a bit in the past.

‘…But it is by no means a reassuring ratio.’

Even if they had an attitude of supporting me on the outside, it might not be so on the inside.

‘Now that I am officially an Aktoum, there will be some who are forced to bow down.’

“But I’m worried.”

“What?”

“You will soon be active in public, so the nobles could notice that you have lost your memory.”

“…That’s right.”

“There are a lot of ‘dirty interests’ towards Your Majesty.”

Losing my memory meant that I had become a good prey for them.

Maybe they would use this as an opportunity and try to trap me.

I could guess from my life in the Spinel Palace that this was a place where the nape of my neck was bitten by a little carelessness.

What more about the crown princess from an enemy country?

Duke Orléans cautiously advised.

“Are you going to cancel all the upcoming official schedules?”

“No.
Duke, you should know.
Hiding is not my way.”

“…….”

I quietly patted the chair and shook my head.

Then I widened my eyes and instructed.

“Bring a pen and a piece of paper with my seal.
I will write a letter to the nobles.”

“…What is the content of the letter?”

The corners of my lips went up.

“The Queen of Spinel has lost her memory, so for the time being, she asks for a thoughtful understanding from the nobles.”

“!”

Yes, this was an opportunity.
A chance to see the bare faces of the enemy nobles.

An opportunity to closely discern who was truly on my side and who was an enemy to defeat.

I decided to use this crisis as an opportunity.

‘I’ll show you my weakness, so show me your teeth.’

‘I will trample you to the floor.’

On the day when my memories are restored, Aktoum Imperial Palace would be cleaned up.

Duke Orléans smiled quietly as if he had quickly figured out what was inside of me.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Then he brought me a pen and paper, and I wrote to the major noble families as I said.

The fact that the monarch of Spinel had ‘amnesia’ spread widely and shocked the empire.

And after hearing the news, there was a person who was the first to worry and run over.

“Your Majesty, you have a guest.”

Who?

The first person to come to me was,,,

“Archduke Marquis wants to see you now.”

…Oh, it was Johann.

“Let him in.”

After a while, the door opened and Johann entered.

A friendly gaze from his gentle eyes, and a strong jaw.

However, though his lips were neat, they were strangely colored.

I must have seen him many times in this lifetime, but this was the first time I ever saw his face (after the memory loss).

He knelt before me and deeply kissed the back of my hand.

Then he whispered in a low moan.

“Are you okay? Your Majesty.”

The black eyes that sent a gaze gleamed and shone.
