MEETING WITH THE EMPEROR

“So, I heard you brought your personal maid back here?” asked the Emperor.

“Yes,” answered Crown Prince.

“Why?”

Crown Prince knew that if he let Bella stay with her great-uncle, the Emperor was planning to go experiment the marigold with her body. He didn’t want her to go through such pain and misery. So, he took the risk and brought her back here before the Emperor made his move. She was precious to him. He will secretly defend her for all he could. Only until she is seated as his crown princess is when he can relax.

“Hmm.”

Crown Prince clenches his fist tightly.

No. And a no, is a no.” She panted in disbelief. “My beautiful Bella I cannot let anyone see you.” He leans into her, kissing her on the lips.
