SummaryΒ
The emperor, blinded by his love for his concubine, falsely accused me of a crime so he could replace the empress.
The crime he pinned on me was attempting to poison the emperor.
βYou always stayed locked up in the back palace. Youβll survive well enough in the Citadel.β
βYour Majesty, I did not try to poison you.β
βNo one believes that, which is why things ended up like this.β
βSo whether I actually did it or notβ¦ doesnβt matter to you.β
It was such a ridiculous farce that I almost felt calm.
And so, I was exiled to Citadel, a land of death.
βJust wait a little, sister. I wonβt leave you alone here for long.β
βIss, I really am fine.β
And I truly was fine.
The past few days of exile suited me perfectly.
In a place with nobody else, I could finally use my powers freely β grow plants, bloom flowers, and live peacefully.
But thenβ¦
A sudden storm swept me away, tossing me across the sea and washing me up on the continent.
βSheβs not a mermaidβ¦ Should I give her mouth-to-mouth?β
Hearing that, Rey opened her eyes wide and instinctively pushed the man away.
When she lifted her eyelids, she saw the painfully bright sky above her, blurry but clear.
ββ¦How did I end up on the continent?β
β¦She needed to hurry and return to her exile.
