Chapter 8
After a while, the knights started stating their orders and when it was Castor’s turn, he stared at Emery for a few seconds. He stood from his seat, held her hand, and kissed the back of it while looking right into her dark eyes that seemed to pull him into oblivion.
“I still do not have the privilege to gaze upon the beauty you hide but may I have the honor to know your name, young miss?” he asked.
The other knights teased the two but Emery simply bowed apologetically while looking at him with hesitation. She did not want to embarrass him in front of his colleagues and, not to mention, she was receiving a deadly glare from Basil so she had to come up with something quick.
“I… I am still on duty so if you wish to know my name, speak to me durin

“My apologies. Because of me, you had to face the anger of the other ladies even if you were not at fault in any way. I will make sure that no one will bother you again because of this issue,” Castor said.“Thank you but it would be more proper to not approach me anymore, Sir Castor. Who knows? Tomorrow’s rumor might become worse, saying that a married woman is still flirting with a knight. That will not only reflect bad on you but it will further damage my reputation. Please understand.”She turned her back on him, only to stop when the silver button crossed her mind. Since she heard Castor and the other knights talking about the emperor looking for her, she suspected that they could be involved in the matter. Hence, she turned on her heels and faced him again.

“Your Imperial Highness, Lady Serena wishes to see you at the moment. She is currently waiting in the Eldford Hall,” one of the emperor’s maidservants said as she followed him out of the Euthoria mansion.“Tell her that I have some important matters to take care of. If she wishes, I can meet her the day after tomorrow,” Emperor Claus stated before dismissing her.Wearing his casual clothes over a hooded cape, he entered the carriage, only to receive a rather disappointed look from Castor, who was accompanying him in his rendezvous that night.“What?” he asked.“So going to the brothel house is such an important matter that you are postponing another meeting with your e

This made Emery’s eyebrow raise at the sudden turn of events.“What do you mean he wants to buy me? I am not even a slave.”“Whether you are a slave or not, if he wants you, then he will do everything to take you. He is the emperor, Sapphire. A tyrant. A heartless ruler.”Their conversation was, then, interrupted when one of the brothel girls came in.“Miss Diane. The VIP guest wants you and Miss Sapphire to go and see him in his private room right at this moment.”Disobedience was not an option so Diane could only hold Emery’s hand like how a mother would do if they knew their child was in trouble.

“Diane told me what happened in the brothel last night,” Helen said as she was drinking tea while Emery was doing the laundry. “It would be great if the emperor lets you off the hook that easily but I doubt he’d do that. So you should brace yourself since even I cannot do anything to stop him from whatever he wants to do.”“Is he really that scary, Helen?” Emery asked.All she heard about the emperor was that he was a man who brings terror when they least expect it. Others would even call him a devil in the guise of an angel because of his deceiving looks, which was understandable since Emery also thought that he was just one of those handsome yet idiotic guys when she first laid eyes on him.Helen, on the other hand, let out a

As they walked through the large and almost empty hallway, Emery could not help but look around and be mesmerized at the internal design of the palace that even the high ceiling had intricate designs inscribed on it.“I wonder how much was spent to build this palace,” she mumbled to herself.Her attention shifted to Castor when she heard him chuckle.“What?”“Nothing. It’s just unusual to hear someone wonder how much this palace costs.”Emery simply shrugged.“But Sapphire, I was just wondering… what made you change your mind about the of

On Emery’s first day at work in the Euthoria mansion, she woke up as early as five in the morning. After washing up, she left her room and went to the kitchen, where the other maidservants were already preparing breakfast."You’re Sapphire, right? The emperor’s new attendant?" one of them asked.Emery nodded, and a few seconds later, she was handed a tray of freshly brewed tea."Make sure to knock three times before entering His Imperial Highness’ room. And if you find him still sleeping, wait for him to wake up or else he will be mad as hell. If the tea grows cold before he wakes up, come back here and we will give you a new set."

Even after what Lady Serena said, the emperor remained unfazed since he did not display any sign of interest.“Seeing that kind of reaction, it seems like you already know it. What do you plan to do after bringing her here?”“You are already aware of what’s going to happen. Why bother asking?” the emperor stated, still not sparing the lady a single glance.Lady Serena chuckled out of amusement.“Then, what are you going to do if I refuse to let her be crowned an empress? Everyone knows that I am going to be your wife, and nothing will change that whether you love me or not. Besides, even your advisors and ministers agree that only I can take the throne next to you.”

“What do you mean I am hiding something?” Emery asked rather calmly, despite worrying if she had just busted herself.The emperor then flashed her a smile and replied, “By any chance, is your husband hurting you?”Emery’s serious expression changed into a dopey one because of the sudden change of topic. And not to mention, he was talking about someone who does not really exist. Anyhow, she was relieved that the emperor was not referring to her secret.“How did this become about my husband?”“Well, it seems like you are the one who is enduring a lot, Sapphire. Why don’t you just divorce your husband and devote yourself to me as my first concubine?” If that h
