Fron, with a puzzled expression, tilted her head.
Security was tight because it was a prison where a member of the imperial family was imprisoned, so no one would be able to enter.
'Well, it has nothing to do with me.'
However, the simple woman soon lost interest.
'I'll be turning myself in soon anyway, so why should I care about the palace's security?'
'Jayden…'
Fron closed her eyes and thought about her son for the last time.
From the moment she entered the Imperial Palace as a knight, her life had never been unfortunate, not even once.
But her heart ached when she thought of her little eight-year-old son.
However, Fron's heart was firm.
‘…This is for him too.’
The crisis of the imperial family was also Jayden's crisis.
However, for Jayden, her being his biological mother would only be a weakness in the future.
Moreover, Jayden was always ashamed that she was his real mother…
In this sense, Jayden had nothing to lose from her death.
'Anyway, if I die here, at least His Majesty will know that I'm innocent.'
Although others might not know her, the Emperor knew her well.
And that was enough.
Still excellent at martial arts, she began to formulate a plan.
‘When this guard moves to the side, I can take his sword.’
Fron yawned heavily.
There was only one guard.
It even felt like an insult.
'Stupid idiots.
Do you think old Fron wouldn't be able to handle that much just because she's walking around weirdly in a dress?
My name is still on the list of Imperial Knights.’
It was then.
The silver-haired woman who had entered the prison earlier cautiously approached the guard.
“Oh, please...”
"Hmm?
What happened?"
The guard turned to the side, toward the woman's voice.
'now!
The opportunity has come.'
There was an iron bar between them, but it was nothing to Fron.
Before Fron moves quickly and snatches the guard's sword...
The woman shouted hurriedly.
"activation!"
Immediately, something sharply cut Fron's arm.
Fron stepped back and reflexively pulled her arm back.
‘…this…’
When a bright light was emitted, I felt a slight pain.
It hurt a little, but not enough to elicit a groan.
But she failed to grab the guard's sword.
Tphron stared in shock.
'Scroll?'
She didn't have time to properly process her surprise.
“Oh…”
The slender, silver-haired woman also immediately got down on her knees.
“Oh my God, Your Majesty!”
The woman muttered in shock.
“Well, I was just passing by because I had some business, and someone tried to take the guard’s sword...”
Naturally, the guard who almost took his sword was shocked.
Only then did he understand the situation.
The guard bowed to the woman and thanked her frantically.
"Thank you!
I almost got in big trouble!"
The guard's trembling voice echoed through the prison.
He looked so shocked that he couldn't regain his composure.
“Ah, it seems that Her Majesty was planning to kill me and escape from prison!”
Fron was so startled by these words, she ended up screaming.
"Why would I stab a dirty bastard like you?
I'm not wasting my talent like that!"
Regardless of what Fron said, the guard gasped and asked the woman:
“Is this an attack pass?”
“Yes… I activated it carelessly, not knowing that she was the Empress.
What should I do?”
The woman fell to her knees face down on the floor, facing the prison cell.
She added in a frightened voice.
“How dare I harm the imperial family...”
Fron only felt a slight sting on her arm.
Moreover, the pain had already subsided as if it had never happened before.
So she waved her hand and laughed.
“It's okay.
A wrap like this is weaker than a mosquito bite.
Just go on your way.”
The attacking pass turned out to be completely ineffective, as there was only one.
Fron, who had no intention of blaming anyone, lay down again.
But the woman did not raise her head.
“I'm truly sorry, Your Majesty...”
The first one to come to his senses in that situation was the guard.
The guard asked the still kneeling woman.
“But why on earth did you pass by...?”
"Yes."
The woman replied while still kneeling.
“I'm Namia Rawabi from the Scrolls Team in the Pass Management Department.”
The guard and Fron nodded simultaneously.
That woman named Namiya used a scroll because she was an employee in the scroll department.
“I have come to inspect the stock of light scrolls in the prison.”
Then they understood why she had come to a maximum security prison reserved exclusively for the imperial family.
The manuscripts were used to shed light in the dark prison.
“Excuse me...”
Namiya looked at the guard and said:
“I'm sorry, but I think you'll have to go to the medical health department and call the emergency team officer...”
"What?
Me?"
“You might need first aid.”
Fron was so stunned that she screamed.
“Emergency team?
What kind of nonsense is this?
Just go and do what you're supposed to do!”
But Namiya kept muttering the same thing with a somewhat stunned expression on her face.
“At this rate, Your Majesty may end up… please.
That’s because my legs are weak and I won’t be able to go.”
Fron laughed.
It was ridiculous that something like this made her legs so weak.
She seemed to be a bit of a weak child.
The guard was agitated.
He couldn't make up his mind either.
"But I am the guard, and I cannot leave this position for a long time.
The medical health department has been detaining people for a long time to understand the situation."
“Ah then!”
Namiya, who was kneeling, suddenly spoke.
“If you say Namia Rawabi from the Scrolls Team of the Pass Management Department is calling her opponent, a boy named Luca will come running without even listening to the situation.”
"What?"
“In the meantime, I will guard this place.”
"…You?"
The guard looked at Namiya with distrust.
Slender Namya took out scrolls.
“I can't use my body, but I have a lot of attack scrolls...”
Fron laughed at those words.
“Hahahahaha!
That’s right, that’s right!
You’re right, this pathetic bastard wouldn’t be able to hurt even a single hair from me!
Hahahaha!
You’ll do a better job as a guard!
Hahahaha!”
Fron strongly struck the pride of the chosen guard.
In fact, the guard was a highly respected knight within the order.
Naturally, he was no match for Fron, the strongest knight who had once accompanied the imperial family.
“Do you really think I wouldn't be able to escape if I tried?
Ha-ha-ha!”
Meanwhile, Namiya continued to look at the guard.
“Anyway, there are a lot of people watching the prison entrance, right?”
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed as if she was urging him to answer.
The guard muttered, unable to make a decision
“But, despite that, he left my place...”
It was then.
Namiya added quickly, her voice suddenly becoming firm.
"According to Article 29, Paragraph 34 of the Imperial Palace Civil Service Law, public officials must do their utmost to ensure the safety of the Imperial Family.
Just because Her Majesty the Empress is imprisoned here does not mean that she is not a member of the Royal Family.
In a case related to an emergency incident that occurred on November 22 last year, there was a precedent that willful negligence could be considered a murder.
In this case, if Her Majesty is seriously injured, you will be charged with the murder of the Imperial Family in accordance with Article 1, Paragraph 4 of the Imperial Family Law, not only will you be relieved of your position, but your family will also be dragged away...”
The guard answered before Namiya could finish her words.
“I'll be back soon.”
The man who had already been accused of killing the imperial family - in his imagination - changed his look anxiously and said:
“So, I should say that Namiya Rawabi from the Scroll Department of the Scroll Department is requesting a Luca Class?”
“No.
Please say ‘competitor’ and not Luca Class.
And the name of my department is Scroll Management… Everyone will understand that anyway, so you can just go.”
