Harper blinked a few times at him. The emperor was still weak, but it looked like he was getting better. If Harper's calculations were right, he might wake up the next day. It was such a coincidence because Francis had just been thrown into prison and the emperor's health became better. Meanwhile, Sherry couldn't wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, Lady Sherry is here. She is kneeling outside the Tranquil Hall to plead for Prince Francis." Nancy's voice resounded in the room with so much triumph.

The empress sipped a good amount of tea before she spoke. "Let her kneel. Francis offended my son and had wanted to usurp the throne. Felix had shown his mercy by only throwing him in jail. Sherry didn't reflect on her son's mistakes, but come here to plead for his son recklessly. She is to blame. Let her kneel for four hours before letting her in."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Nancy replied with a smile. She then ignored Sherry who was miserably kneeling in front of the hall.

Sherry was extremely furious while she knelt outside of the Tranquil Hall.

fond of Sherry, so the empress hated her very much.

'Didn't you say that you wouldn't fight for anything and would just let things take their course? Very well then, I will send you to the Cold Palace. I want to see if you could still maintain your pretentious lofty image there!' the empress thought to herself.

"Please spare me, Your Majesty," Sherry pleaded once more.

"I don't want your life. Just go to the Cold Palace. It will give you time to reflect on your mistakes. When you've thought it through, tell me and we'll discuss the appropriate punishment about you." Then, the empress asked the servants to take away Sherry.

Sherry looked at the empress with frightened eyes. She was so shocked that she even forgot how to speak. She just let the guards take her away. Meanwhile, Minna was so surprised that she didn't know what to do. At that moment, she could only run after Sherry.

The empress looked at Sherry, who was being dragged by her servants. With a satisfied smile, she said, "That's what happens when you go against me!"
