It was said that she was someone who never opposed the marriage forced upon her by the Duke of Spelmann. Even the tone of voice itf was weak.
Her personality certainly seems to be the exact opposite of Cyrtain's. It wasn't just that she looked different.
“Oh, did you bring this to eat with us?”
“No”
I hugged the cookie jar and shook my head.
The thought of eating all this alone makes me dizzy, but I can't help it.
“I'm Evelyn. This is Veronica and...”
I don't know what to call the Empress.
She's still the Empress, but Her Majesty?
Is a 5 year old enough to know that?
I think it would be nice to call her by name only.
The Empress smiled again, as if she knew I was worried.
“You can just call me mommy. Can you do that?”
I nodded with a firm expression,
“Yes, mom!”
The Empress burst into laughter at my brave words.
The Empress pointed to my cookie jar.
“There seems to be a lot of food. Did you really bring it just for Evelin to eat?”
“That's right, it's Evelin's!”
I nodded loudly.
As if she had no other choice, the Empress prepared refreshments for herf and Veronica separately. Veronica watched me eat the cookies, as if she was used to it.
The Empress looked at me a little curiously.
When all the biscuits were slowly finished, the Empress said with a surprised expression.
“You really like cookies!”
“Yes. Because the cookies are delicious. Evelyn likes delicious food.”
Ah. I think I'm going to throw up.
I barely swallowed it.
I felt like if I made a mistake, everything inside me would collapse. It was delicious, but I felt nauseous because I had overeaten it. But I couldn't get up and leave, so I stayed there a little longer.
And when I returned to my palace...
“Oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”
And in the end I made my decision.
Serena and Rosie patted my back as if they were upset.
“What did you stupidly eat again?”
"I don't know, it hurts inside. Oh, I'm shaking!"
Even during this time, I cannot give up acting.
I felt like I had no energy at all.
Hah. It's hard to make a living.
I lay on the bed, drooping.
"I said you shouldn't eat like a pig, right? Oh, really. How many cookies did you eat?"
"I'm not a pig! I haven't eaten much!"
“I'll call the doctor, so stay here.”
“I hate doctors!”
When the doctor comes, he will tell me that I overeat.
You won't get poison or anything like that.
I know I took poison, but can I call the doctor you didn't even bribe?
What do I do when I see a doctor anyway? It's uess.
There was no expectation that the medication would be administered correctly.
In fact, they might give me more poison. A drug that makes me listen better? There may be something like this.
"Ah. Well. Instead, you should get some rest. You know? We should have fun tomorrow," Serena said in a calm voice.
“Yes, I'm going to sleep.”
Only then did Serena and Rosie leave the bedroom and I was left behind.
I breathed slowly.
My stomach started to hurt a little.
“Ah...”
Even though the poison is not working, it is still painful.
I bit my lip tightly. When I rolled my body into a ball, the pain seemed to subside a little... Let's go to sleep quickly.
Sleeping to get better faster… I forced my eyes to close.
I could barely sleep with an uncomfortable stomach.
I want to eat kimchi...spicy food and malatang are ok too...

Certain collected the box of cookies after hearing that Evelyn ate the cookies so much that she became ill. Now, all of Evelyn's suspicious behavior is annoying.
There seems to be another secret hiding there.
The Evelyn that Cerdin knew was not the type to have a large appetite. Although she loves sweet things, she gets full quickly.
I remembered a conversation I had with my mother, whom I had not seen for a long time. These were the words the Empress said with a sad face.
‘Oh. Is she sick? "She seems tired of eating all those cookies by herf."
'Did you say she ate everything herf?'
'Yes, that's true. So, we were going to make biscuits next time.'
This time, the poison came out of the biscuit packet received from the Empress's Palace. There was a reason why Evelyn ate all the cookies herf.
“This much”
Sertin sighed and put the cookie jar down.
What kind of fight does Evelyn fight alone? I don't know if Evelyn was an enemy or an ally, but the important thing was that I was starting to feel sorry for her.
Sertin took advantage of the darkness and headed towards Evelyn's palace.
She looked down for a while at Evelin, who was lying on the bed sleeping, looking pale.
Her face was particularly pale.
I slowly swept her cold, sweaty forehead with my hand.
She groaned and rolled over, but her expression was slightly distorted.
You will be in pain.
“You're really strange,” Sertain continued.
Syrten extended his hand and pulled it away before it reached Evelin.
Sertin stared at Evelin, who was sleeping with an innocent face, knowing nothing. She was frowning deeply even in her sleep, and they wondered what she was dreaming about.
Just as Cyrtain cannot trust Eveline, Eveline cannot trust Cyrtain either.
'...Everything you've done so far has been to help me.'
But is this a lie too? I don't believe Evelyn.
Deep-rooted distrust ran deep in Sertain's heart.
Sertin clicked his tongue and placed a small piece of chocolate on the table. It was something Evelyn particularly liked.
“I wish you a speedy recovery.”
At least for Evelyn, the disease does not suit her.
Evelyn was a person for whom a bright, smiling face suited her more than anyone else.
And Sertin was used to Evelyn's smile.
Serten's eyes softened as he looked at Evelin like never before. The eyes that were once sharp became as gentle as moonlight.
Sertin stroked Evelin's forehead again.
“Don't get sick”
She is a pathetic and deplorable woman.
Hah-! Sertin sighed slowly.
* * *
However, I felt relieved, probably because I vomited everything.
The tingling has subsided and my head no longer hurts.
I no longer feel nauseous.
I stumbled out of bed and drank some water.
On the table where I placed the water bottle, there was chocolate that I had never seen before.
"What is this?"
I looked at the chocolate.
There's no way chocolate would come looking for me on the run.
I think someone visited me secretly. In fact, there is only one person who confidently enters my room and leaves chocolate behind.
Two sirens.
“What is the point of this, Sirtain?”
Of course, there was no answer.
Could it be poisoned?
You don't love me so much that you finally decided to poison me?
No, this cannot be possible.
If that were the case, there was no way he would have left the chocolate behind like that.
After staring at the chocolate for a while, I came to a conclusion.
“However, I thought you were worried because you heard I was sick.”
Yes, how much I suffered.
I will eat it myf.
The reason I got sick yesterday was probably because of the poison in those cookies.
Ah, if it were possible, I shouldn't go so often. Or is there a way to secretly get rid of cookies?
I sighed lightly, opened the chocolate and put it in my mouth.
I thought I wouldn't want sweets for a while, but strangely enough it suits my taste.
It felt as if the melted chocolate contained some kind of medicine, which made me feel lighter and my head clearer.
I lay down on the bed again.
Every day was a spectacle to me. Then the thought occurred to me that if I continued to defend myf this way, I might get tired and give up.
It seemed that some level of attack was necessary.
If possible, it is best to return it with a valid hit.
At the same time, my identity must not be discovered.
Is there any way?
“As expected, we will arrest the criminal at the scene.”
If they found the killer who entered the imperial castle, wouldn't Spellman be afraid? It is possible that the killer is evidence in itf.
Furthermore, what if they started a rumor that Spellman had abetted the killer?
Will it be okay?
So all that's left now is to find the killer? However, they said that there were many people targeting Siren, so they must be more than just killers.
