Rosa started laughing; her hand slapped her forehead as she turned to look around. “You are the Empress; it is impressive how you use prevention to avoid the problem. I must admit, I am impressed with this.”
Rosa sighed and took two more deep breaths to stop herself from lashing at the woman. The words pointed at her made her angry, but Rosa could not blame the Empress for being careful.
“However, Princess, listen to someone who has seen war from a young age. You cannot prevent something that is bound to happen. I will not covet the throne no matter what happens. Wherever I go, protecting my brother will be my priority. But remember this: if you keep working like this. You will end up making both my brother and yourself without support. Instead of removing people, you should have made allied forces.”
Rosa started laughing; she laughed at the pitiful state that was happening. She laughed at how she was reminded of being a half-sister to the Emperor.
