Chapter 1038 Sympathy
Therefore, she felt sympathy for the Empress' sister.
However, she also knew that his life was dependent on the Empress' sister, so she didn't dare to let her go recklessly.
On the other hand, she could not allow herself to continue to starve. In the end, she finally came up with an idea that could barely be counted as a compromise.
She tried to change her face so that she could make her happy.
Once her mood was lifted, perhaps she might want to eat something.
After all, Cara lacked the emotions of a human being, so her mind was relatively simple.
Although she had been here for a long time, she had gradually understood human feelings.
But at the end of the day, she did not fully understand it.
When she tried changing her body shape, the Empress' sister reacted just like how Coby did. She was frightened and even felt that she had seen a monster.
But as she changed into her pink and tender little face, which looked kind and harmless, the Empress' sister felt she was very likable and reassuring.
Besides, ever since the Empress' sister had been captured here, other than the time when she met Coby in the beginning, Cara was the only girl she saw.
After all, she was not raised in the royal family. Indeed, when she found out about her identity, the thought of entering the palace to avenge for her sister crossed her mind.
But after all, she grew up outside of the palace since she was a child. Hence, she was not that familiar with the terrible schemes of work in the palace.
Very soon, she took a liking to the young lady, Cara, who tried to make her happy every day.
In turn, Cara also liked her very much. Although she did not understand what was going on in the palace, nor did she know why Coby had to imprison the Empress' sister, Cara felt that she was not a bad person. She disliked bad people, and liked good people. Hence, she liked the Empress' sister.
Therefore, she was willing to make her happy every day.
After listening to her explanation, Coby was completely silent.
He didn't blame Cara, but he remained silent. After a moment, he let her off.
Although Cara felt surprised, she didn't think much about it. After returning to her room, she went to sleep.
But that night, the mansion that the Empress' sister was locked up was suddenly set on fire. The fire not only burned the whole mansion, but also burned her into ashes.
Cara was awakened in the middle of the night. When she saw the fire that had been extinguished and the Empress' sister's ashes, she completely collapsed.
She couldn't bring herself to believe it, and she didn't want to believe it. The person who was talking and laughing along with her a moment ago was now dead.
Therefore, she kept asking Coby about how did that happen and how did she died.
However, Coby simply answered that it came unexpected for him as well. There was no one here at night, and the Empress' sister was the only person in the mansion. As nobody knew she was locked up here, it could only mean that she committed suicide.
Realizing that there was no hope of escape, she probably knocked over the kerosene lamp and killed herself.
At that time, Cara had mixed feelings. Although she was sad, she felt an odd feeling at the same time, but she accepted the explanation.
After all, she didn't know much about schemes and tactics.
But following that, Coby's suggestion made her to fly into a rage.
He actually asked her to impersonate the Empress' younger sister and become the Emperor of the palace.
The last Empress was an intelligent person. She knew her power was weak outside of the palace, so for the fact that she wanted to bring her sister back to the palace and make her the next successor of the throne, she never thought that she would be able to keep it a secret from Coby.
Therefore, before she died, she had already paved the way for herself and her sister.
She made sure that before Coby could find her sister, she had to announced that her younger sister was still alive and that she was going to pass on the throne to her. Furthermore, she also released a portrait of her sister.
That way, even though the officials had not seen the future Empress, they would know what she looked like.
It was also to prevent Coby asking someone else to impersonate her sister and take the throne after he captured her.
Not to mention the officials would definitely recognize the person's appearance if she was indeed someone else who looked different with her sister.
On top of that, Coby couldn't justify himself either.
Although Coby's power was strong, he could not stop the gossips of the crowd. So in the end, he would have to release her younger sister.
However, after coming out with numerous possibilities, the Empress never expected that there would be such a person like Cara in this world.
Being able to shape-shift into anyone's appearance as she pleased was indeed incredibly scary.
It was not just the Empress who had not expected this, but no one else could have expected this.
Even Coby had not actually thought of it before.
But now that he thought of it, he had already put forward this proposal to Cara.
Initially, Cara had refused him. In fact, she was furious.
No matter how simple-minded or naïve she was, subconsciously, she knew that what Coby was asking her to do was not a good thing.
In fact, it was wrong. If it was wrong, she shouldn't do it.
But who was Coby?
He was the High-Priest, a counsellor who was very good at playing with schemes and tactics.
To him, Cara's petty grievances was just a small issue.
So, he quickly persuaded Cara. If she didn't come forward to help him, the truth would be exposed, and he would die as a result. Would Cara want to watch him die just like that?
Moreover, the Empress and her younger sister were already dead. Without a new Emperor, the country would fall into chaos. Once the country fell into chaos, the people would be stuck in a dark abyss.
If she really felt guilty for the Empress' sister and that her suicide was due to Cara's lack of ability to take good care of her.
Then, she should have the courage to stand out and take over the Empress' sister' responsibility.
Only when she stood out would she be able to save the people from disaster, and to save him too.
Finally, Cara was convinced. Although deep down, she still felt that there was something strange about this matter. On the surface, it seemed that everything was reasonable, but in fact, there was something off with it.
However, she was too simple-minded. Although her intuition told her that something was off, she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she could only agree.
Hence, she became the Empress' younger sister, and entered the palace. After she succeeded the throne, she announced in front of all the officials that the last Empress had died of a serious illness and had nothing to do with the High-Priest.
It was only then that the officials were relieved, and yelled 'long live the Empress!'
Since then, she became the Empress.
Meanwhile, Coby stood below the stage, looking up at her, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
