"I'm not your queen!" I cast my gaze over Leon's shoulder, straight at the opposite wall. Even as the powerful alpha aura he exuded closed in on me, I struggled to find a gap to dodge. "Have you forgotten what you just said?" Leon pressed, "You said that your body and even soul belong to me!" " "That's because you imprisoned my mother!" I glared at him angrily, "You threatened me!" " Leon laughed incredulously when he heard this. "You think I imprisoned your mother? On the contrary, not only did I not imprison her, but I gave her rest in the palace. It is your father; it is he who threatens you! I heard his whisper in your ear!" "Nope!" I could not believe it, oh! Surely it must be true! My father must have gone mad! For his so-called right, he even pushed me to Rouen, regardless of my feelings! "Look, even your family is using you!" Leon sneered, "Especially your sister, when she learned th
"I want to see my mother!" " said I, looking at Leon's back as he straightened the buttons on his sleeve. I saw his chin move a little to the right, and his eyes turned toward the window. "Of course, you can visit your mother!" Leon said, "I will order someone to take you to your mother!" I will have a meeting later. I'll see you at dinner time!" Do you want to continue to torment me? I wanted to ask him, but the words choked in my throat, and I could not utter them. I should not have provoked him further, in case Leon had refused to let me visit my mother because he was angry, as he would have! The door of the basilica opened again, and I followed Leon. Who knows but my father appeared at this time, and looked a little nervous when he saw Leon, but fortunately my father did not forget to salute his king. "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for your call!" My father stammered, "My daughter and I are deeply
"Mother, please dispel this idea immediately!" I bowed my head, and spoke sadly. "We have no way to escape!" "No, Emily!" My mother squeezed my hand and said, "I have to take you away, I can't put you in deep danger!" This splendid-looking court is in reality a cannibalistic hell! I really ought not to have let you come here, and you ought not to have touched a Logan! They bring disaster to you!" My mother's lips whitened as she spoke, and her palms perspired. Her nervous, flustered look told me that she must be ill again! Oh, my poor mother! She must have suffered a great deal in prison! Time for her to rest! "Mother, I think you should lie down and rest first!" I whispered, "Please try not to think about anything else!" " "No, Emily! I need you to stay by my side, and we'll sneak out when the guards doze off at night!" I will take you to the Illyrian Islands, where some one can give us shelter! Believe
"Mother, put the knife down! It's me, Emily! "In the darkness I could see my mother's tense face! Her breathing appeared to be more rapid than usual. When she recognized me, the dagger instantly slipped from her hand with a sharp sound and fell to the ground. "Emily, you're finally here!" My mother hugged me happily, "Let's get out of here while your father hasn't come back yet!" " "Where are we going?" I asked puzzled, "You don't look good, I think I should find a doctor to check your physical condition first!" Mother, you need treatment!" "Enough, don't say any more!" My mother cried out furiously, picking up the dagger on the ground and aiming it at her own neck, "I said you have to get out of here!" Listen to Emily, you've got to go to the Illyrian Islands. That's what matters to you! You've got to trust me! If you continue to stay in court, you will not only be injured, you will even die!" "Mother, I don't
"Please don't, don't hit me here!" With tears in my eyes, I implored Leon, with a sense of wrong in my heart, and a fear that he would really do what he wished to do directly here. I could not imagine what it would be like to have my naked body seen by passers-by, and I did not dare to think about it. "Are you scared?" Leon's thumb touched my cheek, and a tear was wiped away by his finger. "Don't worry, I'll save this punishment for my wedding night! Now, go back to your room at once! Do you understand?" "Obey, Your Majesty!" My lips quivered, and the moment I turned away I felt Leon's keen eyes still upon me. I went nervously to my room, and Leon did not come until late in the evening. So I secretly tried to ask Lola if Leon would come over to-night, and I was really afraid that he would burst into my room and punish me in his own way. Now Lyon is so cold that I am frightened. Lola, however, told me that
It was not until the day of the coronation that I saw Leon again. Wearing a gold crown studded with jewels and diamonds, and holding in one hand the king's sceptre, the symbol of power, he sat impassive on his throne, his purple eyes still impassive. The two below him were filled with richly dressed nobles, all of whom looked with anticipation and envy at me and Lydia, who were slowly approaching. My gaze was fixed straight ahead. In order to maintain a dignified posture, I could only walk slowly, step by step, while Lydia, who was next to me, walked deliberately in front of me. She was dressed in a sumptuous gown of bright red, and her head-dress swayed from side to side with the rapidity of her step, as if she were not quite at ease with the weight. The scene reminded me of what Catheran had once said to me. She said that I should be governed by royal authority, as she would be in the future. Now I can feel the indescribable depth of it. E
"Guard, take this woman down!" Vermils' hoarse voice sounded in the hall, and I saw him reach out and point at me, "Let me kill this woman immediately!" " "Vermils, it's not your turn to call the shots here!" Leon roared, "I am the real king!" " "I think you should have heard the prophecy of the prophet!" Vermeers came out into the middle of the hall, dressed in red, his eyes gloomy. "If you don't kill this woman now, then you don't have to wait until dawn tomorrow, when all the people raise their rebellious hoes and rush to the palace!" Your Majesty, you must now order this woman to be killed! Otherwise, the curse of the Logan dynasty will not be lifted!" "Shut up!" Leon glared angrily at Vermils, "Can't you see that the prophet just now is fake?" It was only an illusion! If you dare to talk more, Vermeers, I will definitely let the guards cut off your head first!"" Duke Vermilion did not speak, but looked straight at Leon w
It was the first time I had ever been in such close contact with death, and my mother had died. I was not allowed to attend her funeral. Leon ordered my mother's body to be returned to her tribe for burial, and I begged his permission to accompany me. And he has ruthlessly refused. Leon locked me up in my room, and I never even got a chance to say goodbye to my mother. I hate Lydia for killing my mother. Lola told me that Lydia was still queen, and that she had not been punished. I, on the other hand, was stripped of the title of queen. "I think the king is doing this to protect you!" Lola brushed my hair with a wooden comb and whispered, "The nobles led by Vermeers asked the king to execute you immediately, but the king refused their request. He wants you to live!" "I don't care about the title of queen!" In the mirror, my face was thin and pale. I looked at myself and said, "I wish only he could punish the murderer!" "
