The chair was light and backless, but the maid swung it with all her might, so Rashta could be seriously injured if she was struck.
Rashta instinctively shielded her belly, and Viscountess Verdi hastily pushed the maid from the side.
The chair brushed past Rashta’s forehead. Then the maid, who swung the chair with her whole body, lost her balance and fell to the floor along with the chair.
"Argh!"
Rashta covered her belly, curled up, and screamed. When the maids who witnessed this scene became terrified and made a fuss, guards outside the door rushed into the bedroom.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing the empress in pain, the broken chair on the floor and the maid furious, they rushed to lift Rashta in alarm.
The maid who swung the chair tried to lunge at Rashta again, but the guards hurriedly restrained her and pressed her to the floor.
The maid struggled and her eyes blazed. Her anger was greater than her fear. At this point, she wanted to finish off Rashta at any cost.
However, she was no match for the rough and robust guards.
Rashta touched her forehead as she stared at the maid. She felt dizzy and her belly throbbed, but above all else, her forehead hurt a lot.
Viscountess Verdi put her handkerchief over Rashta’s wound and ordered one of the guards.
"Get the palace doctor!"
When the guard rushed out, Rashta asked, "The palace doctor?" She seemed not to know that she was bleeding from her forehead.
"I think you suffered a cut on your forehead."
Rashta did not realize that her hand was stained with blood until she heard Viscountess Verdi’s words.
Seeing her red hand, Rashta paled.
About fifteen minutes later, the palace doctor appeared, and another fifteen minutes later Sovieshu appeared.
"Your Majesty…"
Rashta, who was being attended to by the palace doctor, stood up as soon as Sovieshu entered and spoke on the verge of tears,
"It hurts Rashta so much…"
Rashta was relieved to see his face, but at the same time, frightened. The maid should be punished severely for attempting to assassinate a member of the imperial family, but Rashta was worried that she would talk about her father’s execution.
In the Delise incident, Rashta ordered her tongue cut out as soon as it happened to prevent her from speaking.
This time, the guards suddenly entered the bedroom and blood was flowing from her forehead, so she forgot to close the maid’s mouth.
"What happened?"
Seeing Rashta’s forehead, Sovieshu asked in surprise,
"A maid attacked Her Majesty."
"Is the injury serious?"
"Fortunately not, but…"
As the end of the palace doctor’s words trailed off, Sovieshu approached the bed and brushed the hair away from Rashta’s forehead. The injury could not be seen because of the bandage.
"She has a cut on her forehead."
"Is the cut deep?"
"I’ll do my best, but… I’m afraid she’ll be left with a scar."
Rashta looked at the palace doctor in surprise. He hadn’t mentioned this to Rashta, so she had just found out about it too.
"A scar?"
Sovieshu put his hands on the surprised Rashta’s trembling shoulders.
