Assured that the letter would be delivered to Raphael, Emery went back to the Euthoria mansion where she saw the carriage already at the entrance. The emperor also came into sight and when she decided to approach him, she came to a halt upon seeing a woman speaking with him. It was someone she never saw before. Standing on the side, she overheard their conversation.“King Lawson will be staying here for a week so prepare the Eldford Hall for his stay. My daily scheduled meal with Serena will be on hold within that week since she will transfer here for the meantime. Formal meetings will be done for four days. Keep the first day only for formal introductions. The last day would be a ball for every noble,” Emperor Claus said before handing her the scroll, containing the detailed plans for the king’s visit.“I will make the necessary preparations within the palace, Your Imperial Highness. I will also make sure to update you with the progress.”As of the moment, Emery could not sense anyth

Upon stepping into the hall where the emperor’s room was, Emery was left speechless. Right before her, Castor was banging the door, asking Emperor Claus if everything was okay. It was clear that he was worried sick because when the emperor never opened the door, the knights forced their way in. The next thing she saw sent chills down her spine. Right across from her was the emperor looking at her directly in the eyes with a gaze so sharp and evil. A devil’s grin marked his lips from ear to ear. This was the version of him that she had never seen before, freezing her in place and unable to look away from him.“Your Imperial Highness, calm down,” Castor said, trying not to provoke him as much as possible since the worst could happen with his current state.However, the emperor ignored the knight’s words and pointed at Emery.“Chain her legs and lock her in her room,” he demanded.The knights looked at each other, unsure of what to do.“Don’t make me repeat myself,” Emperor Claus said a

King Lawson tightened his grip on his sword before taking another lunge towards Vasmir, who immediately dodged the attack… Barely. The assassin gritted his teeth since he could not find any opening for a successful attack. What was even more frustrating was the fact that the king seemed to be getting stronger, instead of becoming tired.“His concentration is surely 100%. I need a distraction,” Vasmir thought. When the king was about to attack once again, Vasmir thought of something. He intentionally let his guard down and looked behind the king as if he had seen a ghost.“Y-Your Highness?” he said and just like what he wanted, King Lawson’s concentration faltered in no time.He stopped and quickly turned on his heels to see the person Vasmir just addressed. He knew too well that the people in the palace only used that title on one person. However, the moment he saw that no one was there but the other soldiers, he felt a sharp steel on his neck.“Getting distracted is not like you, Yo

The next morning, King Lawson was on his way to the palace gates since he was scheduled to inspect the ongoing reconstruction of their walls on the third circle of the city. Before he could mount on his horse, he heard a woman’s voice calling out to him. Turning on his heels, he saw Lady Emily running as fast as she could while waving her hand.When she managed to approach him, she said, “M-M-My apologies… Y-Your Majesty…”“Catch your breath first before speaking,” King Lawson stated before shifting his attention to Vasmir. “Head there first.”The assassin simply nodded as he stole a glance in the direction of Lady Emily. For some reason, he could sense something from her. Was she trying to seduce the king? That was the very question that lingered in his mind. She may not succeed just like the other girls, but Vasmir felt wary of her. He did not like that feeling at all.After a while, Lady Emily was able to finally regain her normal breathing and apologized for her behavior. But when

Along with the appearance of the emperor was the disappearance of Lady Serena’s bitter expression. She smiled at him and said, “We are just having some casual conversation, Your Imperial Highness. Isn’t that right, Miss Sapphire?” “Yes, Your Ladyship,” Emery replied, who was also putting up a front so as to cover up what actually happened. The last thing she wanted was gaining an enemy in the palace. At the moment, she was a mere attendant, a person who bears no authority or power so she had to fool Lady Serena into thinking that she was on her side. Emperor Claus did not believe them, knowing that Lady Serena was not the type of person who would get herself involved with a person she does not deem necessary. Without saying anything, he grabbed Emery by the shoulder and pulled her back into her room before shutting the door right before Lady Serena. “Tell me,” he said to her. “What did she do to you? What did she say?” “She did nothing but greet me, Your Imperial Highness. Belie

Sitting across from her was the emperor’s attendant, whose face was still a mystery to all. Even her background and where she came from, Lady Serena had no complete information about this Sapphire. But no matter who she was and where she came from, those matters were of no importance to her since all she had to do was get rid of the woman whom the emperor was obsessing over.Sipping from her cup of tea, Lady Serena could only smile bitterly while pretending that everything was okay and she had them under control. And just when she thought that she would be able to get ahold of Emery since she had Jadeite and stop her from meeting Emperor Claus, she also had to deal with this lowly attendant. She did not want to stoop so low and be jealous of someone clearly lower than her, however, she could not completely ignore the threats that could possibly stop her from being the empress.“So… Have you already commenced our plan?” she asked.“I already requested His Imperial Highness about you te

That alone was enough to fully awaken Emery. Sitting up on her bed, the maidservant handed her the letter before leaving immediately to give her some time alone. Two months had passed after she sent two letters to Raphael and yet there was only one envelope delivered to her. The rough touch of the envelope made Emery nervous as she opened it and saw two pages of paper.The first one she opened was a divorce paper with her fake name on it and Raphael's real name. The document looked too real, and not to mention, the red seal on the bottom left made it all the more convincing that it was a legal document. She gulped as she took out the second page. It was blank but its scent was of lemon so she knew that there was an actual message from him. With her heart beating faster than usual, she left the bed in a hurry. Taking a candle and a match with her, she went into the bathroom and lit the candle before letting the fire reveal the secret message. “I received your message, but unfortunate

The lump in her throat and the numbness of her tongue prevented Emery from ever speaking a word. She thought she was simply imagining things but as she gazed back at the jar, her mind went black for a few seconds. She was more than sure now that the head belonged to none other than their beheaded headmaster, Amirah. She shifted her attention back to Jadeite, who looked away from her and pretended like she knew nothing. A mixture of confusion, disbelief, surprise, and anger were visible in Emery's eyes. Jadeite could not bring herself to look at her as she clutched on the side of her dress. “Jadeite, you indeed took your time in the eastern continent,” Lady Serena said, bringing Emery back to her senses. “So… Did you bring Emery Trigon with you?”“Who's Emery Trigon?” Emery intervened, acting ignorant so as to get a gist of what was actually going on since Jadeite seemed to have kept something from her. Jadeite shook her head, giving Lady Serena a signal to not speak of her, however
