《Spoilers : The Abandonned Empress》Spoilers : Ji-Eun POV (3/3)
Advertisement
That evening, Ji-eun was visited by the Marquis that she had so hoped for. No matter how much she thought it would take a few days, she was a little embarrassed. Keiran asked in a cold voice before she could even organize what she wanted to say.
"I heard you wanted to see me. What's the reason?"
Jieun mouth dried up when he gave her a cold look. but she made a deep inside into thinking about the stress she had accumulated recently.
"One thing I want to ask is, I asked to see you. What exactly do you want me to do? Or do you want me to go ahead?"
"Why don't you think so?"
When Jieun heard the cold question, her heart became frustrated, but Jieun opened the sentence again, engraving the word "to be patient."
With Keiran attitude, the conversation seemed to go on unless she talked directly.
"When I want to save my own life, I want to know what causes people to be breathing like this. Butlers, waiters, and knights.always watch me ? Why You didn't let me go outside ?"
"You know why i give u the ban?"
"Ah, yes, I admit that I met with Casein, but I never intended it. He didn't even find out who i am Isn't that enough?
"Are you wondering why? Are you really asking me?"
The annoyance that had been pressed into the shape of a straight silver eyebrow wriggling exploded at once. It'her who needs to be angry right now and she's offended. "Oh, really! If you're making an excuse like that you'd rather just kill me now! Why are you doing this to me ? Do you have to play with people like this to get your job done? I saved your daughter's life! "

Jieun took a rough breath and stared at the Keiran. She don't want to see him, but she don't know what to do. Anyhow, It wasn't Jieun not satisfied with the family
All these years and all, the clans of that family did not like it. However, even when he saw Jieun, who was angry, Keiran frowned only slightly, but there was no change in his expression. He might have been offended by the rather insulting remarks, which he said, without saying anything else, looking at her with a casual look without saying anything .
"Let's sum up from the beginning. First of all, your Majesty wants to be the official death of Princess Jenna. So, your facts of survival should not be revealed until at least I am perfectly settled. Did you understand? "
Jieun a little uncomfortable with the idea that makes her being treated as a fool, but Jieun nodded without a word.
At first she seemed to have to listen to what he was saying.
"Okay, then let's move on to the next. I think I know how you're accepting this situation now, but I didn't send it out of the border in the first place if I was going to kill you."
"Don't say that you sent me because of your majesty."
"5 years, People's memories of you will be blurred by then, so in 5 years I'll give you a complete freedom." "...really?"
Jieun surprised by the unexpected words, asked back, he nodded his head in an expressionless manner.
"Yes, I promise you on my name. There are one condition after another. During that time, you must not be caught for nothing. This is also the condition in which if you break the terms, you'll have to take your life. You're not the only one who gets in trouble when he finds out."

"Oh, I see."
"Okay, what else u want to asked me?"
"......No, there isn't."
'That's good enough. I hope we won't meet again."
"Yes, sir. Thank you. And...... forgive me for my rudeness a while ago."
"I'm glad you knew."
After a momentary pause, Keiran moved over leaving her with a cold word.
Jieun fixing her gaze on the silver hair resembling her for a long time, Jieun slowly chewed the words he left behind only after the appearance of the marquis completely disappeared.
'It's five years.' If it's long, if it's short, it's a short time, but anyway, after five years, she could be completely free.
It's definitely not a vague since is a promise made under the name. If he kept faithful to the conditions he said, there was no reason to suffer from sleepless nights every day, no need to be anxious that she would no longer die. Jieun could feel the tension was loosening. Although She can't go back to the original world and can't live a gorgeous life again
now Jieun thought she could take a break that she could never have had in the last eight years.
Since she left the empire, the feeling of relief that I felt for the first time wrapped my whole body. Jieun reached out and grabbed the air slowly. A life that can be lived on its own without being compared to anyone else, and the freedom that has been increasing and longing before and when it comes to sleep has reached the limit.
'It's 5 years. You can live freely if you stand for five years. '
She felt like her heavy shoulders became lighter as if something was always put on them. As she turned around, Jieun's mouth had a smile of hope.
Do you want me to put here Ruve dream with the cream and Tia ?

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Anathema
The Prince used to dance — until he discovered the strings moving his legs. The Rebel used to hope — until reality slammed a door in her face. The Spy used to live for nothing but money — until he found himself a family. And the Slave craved freedom more than air — until a small hand reached to her for help. Eskela has known conflict for centuries. War had been engrained into the very soil of every one of the eight kingdoms, and blood has been smeared over history to paint a lie. When young prince Aldric, heir to the Aguki throne, learns his position is nothing but a farce, his world crumbles down around him. As he tries desperately to find power in a world determined to rob him of it, his cousin Rhiann plots to find freedom through more extreme and destructive means. Conflict does not reside in Cinthra alone, though. Erden, newly hired spymaster for the crown prince of Promnir, is tasked with keeping an eye on the kingdom’s council. The job that was supposed to just be about money quickly spirals into a fierce loyalty, one that leads him to the front lines in order to desperately prevent another war from beginning. Azala, a slave bought by the royal family of Azmosir, finds her loyalty is not nearly as solidified as that of Erden’s. But while the prince she serves plots to steal that which does not belong to him and the queen she respects holds on to a lingering desire for revenge, Azala realizes that she must choose whom to save: herself or Azmosir's defenseless and young princess.

Tale of Tales
* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales * Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems. What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way. Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book: “Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…” RELEASE SCHEDULE is about once a week. The entire series should take around two and a half years of weekly chapter episodes, so do encourage me by reacting and following. Ratings are greatly appreciated!
