Chapter 125 - Disguise
"Amelia," the Royal Adviser said, thinking that I was the queen. "They are quite angry. I think you should come out and calm all of them down. After all, it is somewhat your fault that a noble was killed."
I wanted to turn around and shout at him that it wasn't my fault that the noble had hired assassins to kill us. But I kept my calm as I turned and shook my head.
"Y-You also think that it's my fault?" I asked, my voice trembling.
To be honest, what I was currently doing was a difficult task since I ignored how the queen acted in private. However, I imagined her to be somewhat naive and innocent while in private. Only showing this great and cold side to her when she appeared in public.
It was a gamble that I was taking, and I could only hope that I was right.
"No, I don't think it's your fault," the Royal Adviser uttered as he got closer to me and started caressing my shoulders. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Just go out there and tell them that we have already caught the strangers and are planning on killing them right away. Announce a public execution. It will calm them down."
'Oh, so that was your plan, huh?' I smirked. 'Well, it's definitely not a bad one. It would get rid of the threats for Zero without him having to even lift a finger.'
"Are you sure that it will work?" I asked as I turned toward him, looking at him straight in the eyes.
"Yes, if you punish the criminals. Most of them will stop complaining. They want blood, I'm sure you can understand, right?"
I nodded. "But what about this dangerous man that the stranger with red hair was talking about? Any news about him?"
Nevertheless, I was not the real queen.
As I walked before everyone, I kept my head down, not looking up as if acting extremely sorry for what had just happened.
"As you all know, three ice elves were killed tonight in this very castle, and one of them was also a noble. They were killed by the humans I welcomed yesterday against everyone's protests. I believed in them, and it is my mistake."
Suddenly, right after uttering those words, I raised my head and smirked.
"However, was it really a mistake? Most of you probably don't know, but the reason why those ice elves were killed is because two of them were hired assassins whowho were asked to kill the two humans, and that noble, if he can even be considered, was the one who had hired them. If anyone deserved death, it was them. Nevertheless, the humans will stay in the prison for a little time longer as I continue to investigate this whole situation myself."
I smiled at everyone as all the corrupted nobles were looking in my direction with confused glances. However, they were not looking at me; they were looking toward the Royal Adviser, who was obviously panicking right now.
He got closer to me and whispered, "Amelia, what are you talking about? You need to declare a public execution for those humans. Otherwise, they will all continue to be mad at you."
I just laughed straight in his face.
"If anything, we should thank that man for getting rid of that corrupted noble. He had no place in the Ice Castle with the rest of us, isn't that right?" I asked everyone in the crowd.
Only those who were corrupted answered with a "Yes!" The rest of them were silent as stones, not moving a single muscle, and they were very scared of what the queen, or rather, what I was planning.
