章 48: CHAPTER 48
Gabby was still sitting on her throne, holding her head. She seemed to close her eyes and lazy to do something, but she was thinking.
"What is it, Your Highness?" said one of the Councilors who saw Gabby looking thoughtful.
"I was just thinking..." said Gabby cut off. She glanced at everyone in the meeting hall. "Why do humans prefer war to solve a problem?" continued Gabby.
"If it was you, I'm sure you would do the same," said Crown Prince Livian.
Gabby turned to Livian. "Yes, you are right, Crown Prince, but I will give them a choice before the war, but all are also useless because they choose war," replied Gabby. "Choosing to defend a Kingdom ingrained with the Devil is ridiculous." she continued.
"That's human stupidity, stupidity that is too high and upholds it," said Livian casually, shrugging his shoulders. "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Livian continued, turning to look at Emperor Blaise.
Emperor Blaise, who had been focusing on Lili for a while, gasped when one of the higher-ups of the Empire nudged the Emperor's arm. "Yes, what is up?" The Emperor looked confused. Livian looked at the Emperor with a strange look.

The meeting had concluded with the solution of the declaration of war against the Folly Kingdom. Lili was currently in the same room with Emperor Blaise and Crown Prince Livian. She looked graceful as she took a sip of tea, making the Emperor not turn away from her.
"You enjoyed it," Livian said to Lili. Lili knew there was another meaning in Livian's words.
"Of course," Lilly replied briefly.
The Emperor, who had been silent for a while, tried to move his hand to grip Lili's hand, which was on the table. But Lili noticed Emperor Blaise's movements, and she pulled her hand that was about to reach Emperor Blaise.
"Can't we just start over, Lili?" Emperor Blaise looked at Lili sadly.
Lili gasped at Emperor Blaise's words. He thumped at the look Emperor Blaise was giving him.
'Remember Michele, remember how he treated Lili before,' Lili thought in monologue.
'You still remember how the first time you met Lili's soul,' continued the monologue within Lili.
"Take care of your majesty," said Lili indignantly at the Emperor's gentle attitude towards her. "I will take care of our divorce once the Kingdom matters are over, " Lili indifferently told the Emperor.
Livian looked at Emperor Blaise with a strange look. He turned back to Lili. "What about Hanna? I know you met her and hid her." Livian said as he glanced at Emperor Blaise. Emperor Blaise's face turned annoyed when he heard Livian mention the name of his third concubine.
"Don't mess with Hana. She's under Queen Gabby's protection," said Lili knowing the direction of Livian's conversation.
"How did she get Queen Gabby's protection?" Emperor Blaise narrowed his eyes at Lili.
"That is none of your business, Your Majesty," said Lily nonchalantly.
"Oh, I see," Livian said, nodding his head. Lili looks annoyed with Livian, who acts as if nothing happened.
"Don't you have empathy for your sister?" Lili pressed Sister's words.
Livian shrugged. "Why should you empathize with the person who humiliated the kingdom?" Livian made Lili clench her fists.
"Up to you."
"Yes, yes," replied Livian lazily. "How did Queen Gabby know that the Folly Kingdom was in rebellion?" continued Livian trying to get information from Lili.
"Yeah, isn't this weird? Could it be that she's keeping an eye on the Folly Kingdom? Is it possible that he is also keeping an eye on the Empire?" Emperor Blaise said, narrowing his eyes at Lili.
"Don't like to accuse indiscriminately. The information came to my Queen itself." Lili replied calmly as she took a sip of tea.
Livian frowned. "What are you bragging about? I don't understand at all."
"I wonder how a fool like you became the Crown Prince," Lili mocked Livian, and Livian was amazingly unfazed. "Of course, they already know Queen Gabby's abilities, so they came to her themselves." continued Lili arrogantly.
"You mean? Don't tell me it was the Royal Folly Council that asked Queen Gabby for help," said Livian, who was a little surprised if it was true that the Nobles from the Folly Kingdom asked for help about what they gave Queen Gabby. Lili only replied to Livian by shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.

The declaration of war against the Folly Kingdom had reached the ears of the people as far as the Spinx Kingdom. Gustav, who has become King because he is a descendant of King Watson, ascends the throne at the urging of the Noble Council to join the Queenby Kingdom.
Gustav was in Queen Emily's resting room earlier. He and Emilio visit Emily, who is sick because she is too depressed after losing her husband. Gustav sat on the edge of his mother's bed and occasionally glanced at Emilio, standing quietly on the other side of the bed.
"There's something I want to ask you, bro," said Gustav without turning to Emilio. Gustav just stroked Emily's sweaty forehead.
"We'd better talk in your room," said Emilio flatly. But the look on his face became soft when he looked at Emily, who was sleeping.
They left the room and headed to Gustav's room. "Is the Dragon that ravaged the palace at that time, big brother?" said Gustav sitting on the sofa. Emilio was silent for a moment staring at Gustav. "Why did you do that?" Gustav continued, looking annoyed.
"To warn you that Queen Gabby is not within your reach," said Emilio flatly.
"You mean bro?" asked a very confused Gustav.
Emilio stared at Gustav for a moment. "I…" cut off Emilio's words. He wondered if Gustav would believe him if he told the truth. "I once died in the forest of death a few years ago," said Emilio looking away.
"What do you mean, bro?" asked Gustav in surprise.
"At that time, Joan and I were killed by a monster in the forest of death, where we first met Queen Gabby. I hope you understand what I mean, Gustav," said Emilio leaving Gustav.
Gustav was silent in his place, and he pondered the meaning of Emilio's words. If Emilio ever died and appeared as a Dragonoid, it would have to be Queen Gabie's intervention, Gustav thought.
He got up from the sofa and returned to his mother's room. He saw his mother lying weakly on the bed. He stroked his mother's sad face. "Mother, I promise to be the King who will lead this Kingdom to prosperity and prosperity," said Gustav quietly.
Tiana, standing in front of the door of the room, stared at Gustav silently. Now she couldn't do anything at all. She felt completely useless. She realizes that she is now a scum of the Kingdom who does not want her existence. Tiana backed away slowly, and she left without anyone knowing she was gone.
