Scarlet Marie Li Salvatore, a name that very familiar to her.
Scarlet Marie Li Salvatore is no other than one of the characters as well as a cannon fodder on the light novel she had read before.
["I am transported as the saint who will save the world ], is the title of the R-18 reverse harem novel that her attending nurse recommends.
When she read the novel she was shocked that a character bears the same name and the character only appearing for only 3 chapter out of the whole 4 arcs of the novel and didnt have any big major role.
The only information stated in the novel is that Scarlet Li Salvatore lived up on her the『The Tyrant Queen』, she loves to kill , kidnap men and torture people. She was jealous that the MC was beautiful and decided to harm her during the grand holy festival where different nations gathered. However was stopped and killed by the crown prince of Aurum one of the MC lovers that caused Avelion to declare war against the Aurum kingdom where the MC in. Avelion stood no chance against the large kingdom of Aurum resulting it to be conquered and perished.
The author only mentions Avelion and Scarlet only for three chapters after that the author have forgotten the so called kingdom.
However, before Scarlet could check the interface more and dwell about the character Scarlet someone just loudly entered the room.
"Your Majesty, the rebel almost reach the Main gate." the knight reported.
As the soul merging completed, she already have absorb the memories of Scarlet Li Salvatore.
The three big kingdoms on the West, East and South are preparing for war and in order to prevent any invasion Scarlet dispatched a hundred of knights to protect the borders while the beast tide in the North border are getting larger and needed aid too. After sending almost 3/4 of the knights this make the capital unguarded, Scarlet had already anticipated a rebellion but she miscalculated her giving birth two months earlier than her due date.
Scarlet looked down the baby on her arms. Tiny and vulnerable.
And then she remembered what happened earlier, she used her skill [Detection] on the child to check if he had any problems due premature birth and when the maid fell.

Scarlet sighed in relief. Thankfully he child had no problems.
'This such a great cheat. Ah! That's right if this is like a game there should be quest.'
"Lord Beckhamn, estimatingly how many hours till they reach the gate."
She asked as she slowly pushed her body to sit. The imperial doctor and the maid saw her movement and assisted her.
"Your Majesty, Knight Commander Kroft is doing his best to stop the enemies and we are now stalemate with the rebels however due the numbers of knights deployed the enemy will breakthrough around two or four hours or so." the knight answered with a tone of grievance.
"Are you questioning my decision, Lord Beckhamn?" Scarlet question as she assess the man infront of her.
Lei Beckhamn, the right hand of Aiden Kroft and the 1st Class officer of the Blood Hound unit.
The novel had never mention him however on Scarlet's memory he was serious like his commander and a handsome man. He had golden locks with honest and firm violet orbs. However despite being handsome the former Scarlet never attracted to him. She thinks Beckhamn is an annoying person for the reason that the man indirectly questions her decisions a couple of times not like his loyal commander.
"It's a miracle that she didnt killed the man."
"No, your majesty. " He answered seriously.
As Scarlet observed Beckhamn the latter is also observing her. He was shocked when he saw Scarlet holding a child when he entered the room earlier. Everyone knows everytime she gave birth she will emphasize that she didnt want to see the child and for the midwife to take them away, so seeing her like this is very strange. Shifting his gaze to the baby, a smile grace on Beckhamn's face.
The commander's son is so cute, he thought.
"Very well." Scarlet ignored him and once again looked at the interface, on the left side; it had three side bars with drawings.
The icons are human, a treasure chest and a paper with a quill.
The human icon probably is for the character interface; the treasure chest should be the inventory and the last one should be for the quest.
Scarlet switched the icon for the quest bar mentally and there she saw three main quest written boldly in gold.

Scarlet ignored the first and the second and focused her attention on the last quest.
Like what Beckhamn said Scarlet ordered Aiden to fight the rebellion with only a small number knights. When Scarlet sends off the other knight squad and some members of the Blood Hound Knights, only few are left to protect the capital.
Around 100 people are fighting the rebels while 40 people remain stationed in the palace in order to protect the queen.
Even so by looking at kill counts Aiden is doing better although there should be casualties and death of their comrades that should be the reason why a trace of anxiousness can be heard on Beckhamn's voice earlier.
Blood Hound knights are the elite and strongest knight unit of kingdom but in spite of that they are still humans that can still get hurt, lose or die. Every member that were stationed in the palace must be worried for their comrade fightning in frontline.
Scarlet understood, time is precious, especially for her that once again had death knocking at her after 4 hours.
"Imperial doctor, give me the best grade healing potion you had. Sunshine, you hold the prince and gather the remaining princes and princesses. I will send you some White Ravens in order to protect you." Scarlet ordered as she transfered the baby to the maid, Sunshine.
Sunshine the maid was dumbfounded, the queen never cared for her children since the first princess was born, she even ordered her best guards to protect them.
White Ravens are the personal shadow guards of the queen, they work clean and quiet, sending them ensure the safety of the children if an enemy showed up.
'Maybe because the rebel may win anytime and the majesty is worried for everyone safety. I know from the start that the queen love her children. She is just cold outside but very warm inside. What do you called that attitude again? Tsuㅡthat's right! Tsundere! Your majesty is just tsundere." Sunshine, thought and imaginary tear up due to happiness.
While on the other hand, Gilda, the old woman in the victorian outfit before was the queen handmaiden and she was also one of the people bewildered on Scarlet actions.
She's been with Scarlet since she ascended the throne it's her first time seeing her worried about the children who she treated as a pest before. The child in her embrace may be the son of her favorite consort but the 1st princess father was once in her favor before but the moment the princess was born the queen ordered her to send the child in the tower and locked her up. And now she ordered to protect all her children?
The handmaiden who thought she knew her majesty very well is now on turmoil.
'It's like the majesty is another person'. A thought passed on her mind but she dismissed it. 'Impossible, your majesty is not a demon.'
If Scarlet could hear Sunshine's thoughts she will vomit in blood while for Gilda's she will agree. The former Scarlet are far from tsundere, she only thought those children were cursed but due to rules of her passive skill [Mother's Instinct] she could not kill them personally while the current Scarlet was the one who is distraught of their safety.
"Gilda, fetch me five Oath of Nyx scroll." Scarlet called her out bringing her out of her trance.
"Your majesty, what will you do with the scroll?" Gilda asked in fret.
"Do not question! And make haste!" Scarlet scolded which make everyone followed in fluster.
While everyone busy Scarlet took a glance on the interface again.
[Main Quest #3 - The Rebellion]

15 minutes had passed already.
"Your majesty, here is the healing potion." Scarlet received the potion from the imperial doctor and used [Detection] for safety measures since the queen died despite having a poison resistance and divine healing.
[Healing potion
•Level : B- grade
•Anomalies : 0 ]
'Its just a B- grade but this should be enough to give her strenght.'
Scarlet drank the potion as she watched her HP rise from 28/100 to 42/100. The feeling was very new and magical to her, she felt a little bit rejuvenate after the being exhausted of giving birth.
At the time Gilda also had returned and handed her the scrolls.
"Beckhamn, follow me to the imperial basement." Scarlet ordered as she stood up making the serious knight utterly confused and curious.
"Your majesty you had just finished giving birth." Gilda interfered.
"Also you are exhausted by giving birth you should take a rest and let Lord Kroft do his job. In addition if Lord Kroft ever failed to kill the rebels it should be his incomptence as a knight. He should also be grateful that your majesty decided to give birth that pest for him. His sacrifice is just!" Gilda complain.
Beckhamn frowned.
"As must I respect you, your majesty. I will not tolerate the slander and insult this woman spout for my commander." He retorted as he unseathe his sword.
"Eek! How dare you put your sword in front of you majesty?! Are you part of the rebel?! Guards! Someone is trying to kill the majesty." Gilda screamed and accused Beckhamn.
"Be quiet Gilda! Beckham, put that sword down if you dont I will accuse for treason." Scarlet commanded and looked at Beckhamn sternly the latter made a sighed and put back his sword.
Scarlet glance at him and to the interface in front of her and she sighed, another 17 minutes had already passed again. She is already sweating while thinking strategies and this two are not helping her relax.

She sighed.
