The Villainess Next Life (COMPLETED)

Chapter 43

The funeral proceeded smoothly. However, the moment that the coffin of the little girl is buried the Emperor tried to stop it desperately. Alarice hugged him tightly so she could stop him.

"Let's let her go now. Please... let's let her be in piece." she keeps on saying to the Emperor

Weeks after that Alarice met Elisha. Alarice asked Elisha to have an afternoon tea with her.

"I know what you did." she said after sipping her tea

"Oh my, Your Majesty. Care to explain?" she said looking rather calm

"There's no point in denying it any longer, Elisha. We've had evidence and the knight whom you conspired with mentions your name before he died." she said

Elisha's face paled.

"Mikhail is dead?"

"Oh, so his name is Mikhail?" she said coldly.

Even though her children didn't really die, attempting to poison them is still a crime. She didn't know how long can she hide the twins so before any information about the twins went out, she needs to eliminate the threats.

"How dare you?!" she shouted as she splash the tea on her face

Alarice looked at her coldly which made Elisha flinched.

"How dare you kill my child." she said and the knights suddenly grab Elisha, which made the latter to struggle.

"Banish her to a far away land and strip her of her title. Make sure she'll never step here in the capital again. Give her sufficient fund to start a new life again." she said

Elisha glared at her.

"You can't do this to me! I hate you! I only did what's right!" she shouted without any feeling of remorse

"For killing the first princess you deserve death penalty but in consideration of the second prince I will only banish you. I'll convey my decision to the Emperor." she said as she stood up when the maid offered her a towel to dry herself.

"Mom!" the crying and confused Naveen called.

Alarice flinched. Naveen will be the most affected in this situation.

"Mom.. you'll stay right? You will not go anywhere right?" he asked his mother who was about to be dragged away.

"Your beloved Empress Mother is going to depose me."

Naveen's teary eyes looked at her. She look at him intently. Without saying a word the boy understood that what his mother said is right.

"Please no. My mom's not a bad person." He said

"I'm sorry. Naveen. Drag her." She firmly ordered as she turn her back at them.

She heard Elisha's hysterics and Naveen's cries.

"I hate you, Empress Mother!"

"She was dragged down by the order of the Empress but will be able to live peacefully as a commoner." Reported Pierre to the Emperor

The Emperor without life in his eyes ordered.

"Make her experience a painful death. Don't let Alarice know of her disposal."

"Affirmative." Pierre obliged..

It took Nicolas some months again to be able to go to his office and work. Alarice has always been there which made Nicholas feel a little bit better. Their days passed just like that. Until weeks later, Alarice asked for a divorce.
