CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 8

ZELIA was sitting on the couch while Ysa was still hugging her neck, sitting on the side of the couch.

"What are you two doing? And why is that b*tch here?"One of Emperor's harem asked while pointing Zelia.

Ysa glare at her, "Don't call her b*tch. She's not a b*tch, she a gorgeous woman."She said while defending Zelia, while she was just reading on the book which she found amusing while holding a cup that has a tea on it, sipping elegantly like she's the boss—well she was.

The woman chuckled with sarcastic,"Gorgeous?! She's so ugly, I bet she put something on the Emperor's food to manipulate him or maybe she has a bad intention, like for example... a gold digger?"

Zelai didn't mind what she just said and just continue reading the book. She won't step down to her level unless that woman would do something to provoke her. She has a bad temper and everyone in her company knows what she would do if someone would mess with her. Pay tenfold.

'Damn. Gold Digger is still famous word here in this world.'Zelai said on her inner self while she was still reading the book.

"Don't call her a gold digger! She's not a gold digger and besides, you are the one who's more look like a gold digger like her, look at that smudge make-up on your face, your true face hiding behind the make-ups is showing, kindly fix your face first before you insult make sure you're perfect enough to look down at someone!"Ysa angrily said making the woman went to her direction and tried to slap her but Zelia, who was busy reading the book caught it and she look at her nonchalantly.

"What is your problem with me? Is it because the Emperor was always looking at me? Are you jealous? If you are then why not divert it to the Emperor not me. It's not that I like what I wanted right now."Zelia said while holing the left wrist of that woman who wanted to slap Ysa.

The woman fake her laugh then she angrily look at Zelia, "Don't act like you didn't get close to the Emperor to get a lot of gold coins. You wanted your life to be easy right? That's why you approach the Emperor? You b*tch."

Zelia sigh, "I have already enough with your tantrums. You are saying that I get close to the Emperor to get a lot of gold coins from him to make my life easier? What you watch, I haven't been peaceful since I enter this palace."

Ysa also defend Zelia, "Why do you keep on bad mouthing Zelia? If you like the Emperor then go and seduce him, why do you have to go lengths on trying to hurt her?!"

The woman chuckled and slap her with her right hand making Ysa's cheeks reddened and she was holding her cheeks were she was slap with.

While Zelia, who was watching Ysa getting hurt  starts glaring at Oprha—that b*tch woman who keeps on throwing tantrums. When Oprha feels like someone was glaring at her, she look at Zelia who has this death glare at her. 

Oprha can't deny the dangerous feeling that she felt a while ago. Zelia chuckle coldly while looking at her, "Are you now satisfied to see someone getting hurt by you?"

"Of course. They should know who they are messing with."Oprha has this nonchalant smile which make Zelia even more angrier.

Zelia stood up the couch while his left hand was still holding her wrist, she put a force on it and break it making her scream in pain. Pain visible on her face. Zelia strongly kick her both knees making her fall from the floor. 

She was holding her pain while tears starts falling from her cheeks. Zelia don't have any emotions that she felt while looking at the woman who was already on the floor, crying while her left wrist was already broken while her both knees was aching in pain that it feels it has a crack on it.

Zelia forcedly grabbed her face closer to her and sweetly smile at her, "You've became more more closely like me, back then that I would pay tenfold if someone would dare to mess with me nor mess with the one whom I already acknowledge. You know, I can't really hold back my anger especially if you tried to anger me by provoking someone who's already special to me. You see that I've never complain nor get mad at what you've said but you've already gone far. You said you will make them pay if they mess with you? *chuckles* I don't have a gold coins to pay you right now, how about a gold knock?" She said as she put a force on her hand to knock out her by acting like she's slashing her neck enough to make her unconscious.

Before her head would fall to the ground, Zelia  immediately caught it and put it on the ground.

She roamed her eyes around the Servant Room, she already saw the other's who was also looking at her. She just rolled her eyes at them and grabbed the hands of Ysa to get her treated in the Imperial's Physician.

"I'm okay, it doesn't really hurt."Ysa said while she was still trembling.

Zelia tsked, "You should have defended me, it's not like I'm weak mentally."

"But they are bad! They keep on bad mouthing you! If you can handle that kind of sh*ts, hmpp... I can't handle seeing you getting bullied by them!"Ysa said while pouting making her chuckled.

She messed with her hair since she's much taller than her, "I won't step down to their level but I'm willing to do so if they will do something bad to one of the people whom I acknowledge with."

"You mean you acknowledge me?"Ysa said with a grin plastered on her lips.

They were walking to the hall, to get treated bt the physician.

She chuckled, "Don't get too cocky, I just acknowledge your attitude. Besides, I just miss my younger brother, that's all."

Ysa look at her confusedly, "Why? Where is your brother?"

Zelia forced her smile, "He's not here, he's already from far far away and I can't see him again no matter what."

"Then, I could be your younger sister from now on. I'm not a boy but I'll protect you if someone would dare to bully you."Ysa said while smiling making her laugh.

She messed her hair, "Then, I'm in your care, little sister."

When they are already at the Imperial's Physician Room, they both enter and they saw that the physician isn't there.

Ysa was about to went out when Zelia grabbed her hands and get the ointment which she saw on top of the table.

"Sit."Zelia command her and Ysa obediently follow Zelia.

Zelia starts treating her cheeks who were red and swollen due to that slap. When she's done doing it, they have decided to go out but Unluckily, the Physician went in to his room.

When they saw them, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zelia answered, "We were looking for you to treat Ysa's cheeks but you weren't there that's why we get the ointment which was placed on top of your table, we apologize if we offended you or something."She said coldly, "Well then, if you mist excuse us." She added.

But before they could leave the Physician spoke, "How can you be so sure that you didn't take any valuable things in my room?"He said while he look at Ysa who was looking down, afraid of him.

Zelia chuckled coldly and she look at him, "I'm sorry but we aren't that kind of a woman. We have our pride and besides, it's not like we'll see something more valuable in your room other than ourselves. Please rest assured that none of your things was move, replace or taken away, if you want you can look at your room but don't dare to accuse us easily, that kind of threat doesn't work to where I belong. Okay?"She said while she gave her a sweet smile before she grabbed the hands of Ysa who was sweating in bullets so as well she's trembling.

They started walking to the Servant Room. 

"You're talking about that Physician whom you said you fall in love with, am I right?"Zelia asked making her froze.

She lightly nodded her head, "Yes."

Zelia sigh, "Are you scared of him?"

She nodded, "Yes. I'm scared that he might hate me if I did something wrong. My hands and my whole body were shaking."

"I know. Anyways, don't give your love for him so easily, just take it slowly."Zelia said. She can't understand what truly love is, so she can't give her a boost.

Ysa was about to speak, when the Emperor called Zelia, "Where did you go?" He asked her and went to her direction.

Zelia answered, "We went to treat her swollen cheeks."

"I've heard that you broke the wrist of that woman and also kicked her in both of her knees?"Emperor's face was still remain emotionless.

Ysa bend her knees and lower her head, "Your Majesty, please forgiveness Zelia."She politely said making Zelia chuckle.

"Don't bend for forgiveness, Ysa, stand up."Zelia said as she turn her gaze to the Emperor who was looking at her.

"Since Oprha was one of your harem, you must be really angry since I've hurt her. Don't worry, it will happen again if they mess with me and Your Majesty, I don't beg for my forgiveness and for your spare."Zelia said while looking straight to his eyes, looking coldly.

While Ysa who was screaming in her mind and trying her best to pray for Zelia's life since she already know that His Majesty is a merciless and ruthless person, who ever speak back to her will get punished, she's praying hard and even she was still on her knees, lowering her head.

"Don't worry, I'm not here for your forgiveness besides I don't need her. Come to my room later."The Emperor said before he starts walking away from them.

While Ysa was left dumbfounded. 'Since when did the Emperor go soft as a marshmallow?'
