Even though he was relieved to see her physically well, he was still beyond worried after witnessing her demanding to be killed. He thought that what Castor said was simply an exaggerated statement but seeing the desperation in her eyes convinced him that he had to look after her even closer or else, he might lose her for good without even making amends with her.
Looking at her wrist, there were indeed lines of scars that marked it. Though they had already healed, it was more than clear that the cuts were deeper than he expected. This had also convinced him that the remaining family she had been referring to before were the ones who were killed on the day of his wedding.

The next two minutes after the physician said those words came a deafening silence. He received a blank stare from the emperor and a confused look from the spectators outside.“Do you think you are making sense right now?” Emperor Claus managed to break that ice of quietness. He even pointed at Emery’s stomach. “You are telling me that there is an eight-month old baby in that stomach of hers, which is clearly as flat as a board?”The physician nodded, his gaze focused on the unconscious state of Emery.“I never expected to witness with my own two eyes this rare case of pregnancy, but this had happened before,” he replied.“What do you mean?”&

When the emperor left Emery in her room so she could rest more, he was greeted by the head of the Shadow Assassins, Erebus.“Your Imperial Highness, it’s been eight months already since I left my original post. Please, let me return to the capital and serve the empress,” he requested.However, instead of his request being granted, he flinched when the emperor looked him dead in the eyes. Before he could even speak of another word, the tip of his sword was just a few millimeters away from his eyes.“After you failed to look after Emery back in Asterion City, you really have the nerve to ask for such a thing. If you wish to return to the capital that badly and spread the word of Emery’s pregnancy, then I will have your head arrive there first thin

Even after that explanation, the emperor could tell that Emery did not believe a single word he said and was looking at him as if he had lost his mind. He heaved a heavy sigh, giving up on trying to convince her about it. He simply grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her.“I will return to the capital today and have everything ready so you can come back as soon as possible.” He tightened his embrace as if he never wanted to let her go again. “I will be gone for some time so please, take care of yourself.”Emery wanted to tell him for the nth time that she had no plans in returning to the palace, but doing so would only lead them into nothing but another the same argument. Letting him do whatever he wanted to do and say, she just stood there with the strong belief that his wor

As the emperor lay on his back and tried to get to his feet with a contorted look on his face, Prince Cornelius grabbed him by the collar.With gritted teeth, he said, “How dare you interfere in this matter? You were unable to protect her when she needed you the most and you never did anything after she was sent to the frontline. Do you think you have the right to stop her from getting back at those who hurt her!”For the second time, he punched his brother with no hesitation at all. Even though the edge of his lips started to bleed, the prince did not care. He was about to land another jab right at him, however, his attention was caught by the blood that stained the emperor’s clothes right on his chest. With Prince Cornelius distracted, Emperor Claus grabbed that chance to grip his collar as well and banged h

“She is dependable so rely on her, okay? This is only what I came here for so continue whatever you are doing,” Head Maidservant Rona stated while patting Lila on the shoulder.The head maidservant specially hired Lila since she received some information that she was also the maidservant who served Emery when she was the queen of the Silex Kingdom. Since there was nothing else she needed to do, she excused herself.Just a few seconds after the door was shut, Lila’s voice filled the room as she called out Emery’s name and said how much she missed her. Emery, on the other hand, was still in a state of shock and was unable to say a thing, especially when right before her was Lila herself, still alive and kicking. She felt like her heart swelled up with relief, happiness, and hope all mixed together.

The emperor never heard a single word from Emery, but her deadly glare said a lot so he just raised both of his hands in surrender.“M-My apologies–”“Do you think this is funny?!”Seeing her suddenly bursting out in a cry sent the emperor in a state of panic. He kept on apologizing to her while wiping away her tears despite not knowing what exactly to say to calm her. Plus, he had never seen her act like this before.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” he mumbled. “A-Are you hurt somewhere? D-Do you need anything?”Emery shook her head and said, “I was just thinking… I only ate a piec

“”H-How long is it going to take for her to give birth?” the emperor asked the physician, clearly in panic.“Most first time mothers undergo 4 to 19 hours–”“19 hours?! Are you telling me that Emery will have to endure that pain in hours?”The physician nodded, explaining to him that the labor could last in a few hours. But since it varies from woman to woman, he could not tell him a specific number of hours. Seeing the emperor seemingly losing all his rational thoughts, he could only smile since it reminded him of the time that he also had become a father. The physician then patted him on the shoulder.“Emery is a strong woman so she will get through this,&rdquo

Ronan smiled and said, “She is okay now. She just needs to rest for the next few weeks and if no complications occur, she will regain her strength in no time.” Delighted, the emperor was about to rush inside Emery’s room, however, the head maidservant stopped him. “You are not the baby here, Your Imperial Highness. The twins get to her first.” With that being said, the twins, who looked the exact opposite of each other, were brought back to Emery for their first skin-to-skin contact and, of course, breastfeeding. Only then, the emperor dragged Ronan into the next empty room. “The other one with the black hair…” he said, but could not seem to finish what he wanted to ask.

Fate just had its way of playing with the lives of people, especially Emery who seemed to be its favorite to play with. Emery gave birth to twins, one boy and one girl. She thought that having them would finally mend her relationship with King Lawson that was on the verge of being broken once more, however, she was wrong. Rather than having a stable relationship, it became more chaotic when King Lawson came back from a three-week trip to another kingdom for a diplomatic meeting. Her heart broke as she watched him return with another woman. It was not just an ordinary woman, but the younger sister and seemingly exact replica of Royal Concubine Hazel. She received the king’s utmost attention with the reason that King Lawson felt guilty of letting Lady Hazel be killed. Hence, his only way to redeem himself was to treat her younger sister better. Emery let it slide, thinking that her twins needed more attention from her since their father barely spent time with them. However, even in he

The people along the main street of Elescaster City halted whatever they were doing upon hearing clops of horses’ hooves getting louder and seeing a group of men passing by at a rather fast speed towards the direction of the palace. They had to clear the streets in order to avoid getting stomped. Several of the men were clearly foreign soldiers judging by the unfamiliar armor they wore. However, they only grew curious of the other two leading them since they wore a hooded cape that hid their faces from anyone. It took them several minutes to reach the main gates of the palace, halting their horses to get their identities checked. The two people at the front removed their hoods, revealing a young boy and an older woman. With only one look at the younger one, the guards could tell that it was none other than the twin of the empire’s Crown Prince. His hair was as dark as the night, which was contrary to his pair of eyes that resembled the golden sun. The guard bowed their heads in his

In the midst of the wide gladiator stadium filled with spectators both from the noble and ordinary families, two women faced off against each other, their swords at the ready. Right at the side where a large throne stood was Emperor Claus overlooking the open ground with Castor right next to him. The other knights stood at different posts around the stadium to make sure that no outsiders would dare interfere with the duel.The rows of seats right below him were occupied by the ministers, including the emperor’s three advisors—Sir Tarkin, Sir Vlachos, and Sir Louvel. As much as these three men were against the said duel as it could put the empire into a state of instability because of Emery’s non-Varmorian blood and lack of influence and wealth, this was also by far the safest option they have to keep the Hagans’ reputation unstained. They were already aware of th

On the day before the duel between Emery and the empress, the former just finished her daily training with Jadeite in the barracks of the knights. She did not want to exhaust herself too much so right after their morning drill, she decided to go back to Euthoria Mansion and have some rest. Jadeite, on the other hand, stayed behind and had sparrings against the other knights. Before she could leave the barracks, Castor walked up to her. “You still have some time to back out,” he said even though he already knew that Emery would do no such thing. “Backing out is not one of my options, Sir Castor,” she replied. Just as she was about to leave, she stopped for a moment and hesitantly asked, “H-His Imperial Highness… H-How is he? He never visited for the past few days so…” “If you are worried, then it is better to go and check up on him yourself,” the knight replied, giving her a pat on the shoulder before heading back inside the barracks. Emery let out a sigh. She did receive a report f

Upon Emery’s return to Euthoria Mansion, she clenched her fist in annoyance upon seeing that the emperor had returned first. He was waiting for her right at the entrance, but even after stepping out of the carriage, she still gave him the cold shoulders. However, even before she could take another step away from him, he held her wrist, stopping her from running away from him again.“Just five minutes of your time, please let me explain myself,” he pleaded.Emery took her hand away from him and the very next second, her hand landed on his cheek with a sharp slap. Those who witnessed it froze in place, not knowing what to do at all because intervening in such a heated yet cold war between the two seemed to be enough to make one pass out.“You shou

The consecutive clashing of blades filled the open ground of the knights’ barracks as Emery and Jadeite continued to fight each other. It had been more than five minutes already and yet the latter showed little sign of exhaustion despite the fact that she had been all over the place like an agile and skilled monkey. Meanwhile, Emery seemed to be so close to falling on her knees as beads of sweat ran down the side of her face. Her heavy breathing pretty much showed that her endurance was not that good.“You have gone rusted, Emery!” Jadeite claimed, wearing her infamous grin.She tightened her hold onto her pair of short swords and sprinted towards Emery. She had tired her out so a head-on and full attack would most likely end the first round of their sparring. Slashing diagonally with her right hand first, Eme

It was early in the morning when Emery finally regained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and the very first thing that came into sight was the familiar intricate drawings of her room’s high ceiling. The back of her neck still ached and the wound on her back that was still healing felt like several needles were piercing her skin all at the same time. Groaning, she shifted her gaze to the side and saw the emperor looking at her with a worried look.Only then, she was reminded of what had occurred even before she lost consciousness. That was enough to make her sit up and leave the bed.“Milady!” the emperor called out, rising from his seat and going after her.Emery opened the door of her twins’ room and rushed to the crib. She felt her he

“Different,” Jadeite hissed. “He is definitely different because he will hurt you in another way. First, he just watched his empress trample over you during their wedding reception. What’s next? Watch you die? Is that considered love, Emery? Is that how you define it?”Emery was unable to say a word, hence, Lila stepped between them and pushed Jadeite out of the room to help her cool down her head. Raphael, on the other hand, simply gave Emery a small pat on the shoulder.“Jadeite has a point,” he said. “However, if you truly want to stay here, then I support you for that. I know you are thinking about the kids’ future so you are not to be blamed.”She managed a small smile.

Emperor Claus strode towards her and dropped his sword before grabbing Emery behind the neck. He pulled her close and sealed her lips with his, making the knights turn their backs on them to give them privacy.His kisses were harsh, torrid, and rushed that Emery had a hard time keeping up with him. She had her hands lean against his chest to gain control, however, even if she tried to make him slow down, she failed to do so.His hand slipped around her waist as he deepened the kiss while hearing the almost inaudible moan of the woman he could not have enough of. After several more seconds, he seemed to have snapped back to his senses upon tasting something metallic—blood. He slowed down before breaking away, leaning his forehead against Emery’s and looking her directly in the eyes as they both tried to catch their breath.
