I Will Surrender My Position As The Empress Novels & Stories

Ivan said. It was as if I had been slapped for what he had said. It's true that in a few months I will be the Empress. Dad is not here and he is in Japan because he is arranging my papers and requirements for being an Empress. The truth hit me because of that. I was so driven by anger because of what was happening. I wanted to kill Rovic and Hiro with my own hands but even a plan I didn’t have.

But the Emperor isn't done yet, he opened another decree. "The three Princes will go to the borders to stop the raging rebellion formed there, and when they come back, we will crown our new Emperor, Prince Sunwoo.. This is very sudden I know, but my health is failing and I think this is the right time for me to abdicate my throne." Consort Mia hide a loopsided smile. 'That is, if the crown prince will come back. ALIVE."

Ember's POV: I leaned my back against the chair, my composure now finally calm and collected as I stared at Father boringly before shifting my gaze to the file, "So, you're really asking me to sign, out of my own free will, to this document that states that I want to renounce the throne?" The exact words written in the document swirled in front of my eyes once again, "I, Princess Ember Valdez, of my own free will and clear mind, do hereby renounce all claims to the Throne of the South and its inheritances, choosing instead a life of peace and distance from affairs of the kingdom."

But it was more than infuriating to let this woman say and do anything as she pleased. I must endure even though it was something I did not want to do in front of this shameless creature. Still, Lansford and I both left the car and walked towards the woman. “Kneel,” she said, her gun still pointed at us. I could actually tackle her down and shove that gun right into her mouth but there were other men surrounding us. I would totally receive quite a lot of bullets if ever I make one wrong move. However, kneeling in front of a human being was not something an immortal like me should do. And not to mention, I was the princess of Oliviland. I bow to no mere humans unless I had committed a grave s

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Mona, I figured out a way to get me out of this predicament." Mona immediately stopped crying and asked anxiously, "What is it?" Sean's eyes were immediately filled with a burning craze. "My fate as [Emperor] is still valid, but it's just temporarily suppressed! I can start over again if I get out of here!" He leaned in close to the glass and stared at Mona. "I need you to find someone with the label [Master Thief]. If you can find him, he can get me out of here! Once I'm out, I'll still be the emperor, and you'll still be my empress!"

Steven's eyes widened. His lips trembled, yet no words came out. Just then, Mr. Delaney Senior came back in. "Steven, the wedding venue has been booked. Don't forget to go for the dress fitting with Selena tomorrow—" He noticed the awkward tension halfway through. "What happened?" I calmly collected my documents and got up. "I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'm unable to help Delaney Corporation with your matter. I'll be taking my leave now."

“Isabella, do you know why empires fall and families fail?” I looked ahead carefully and answered, “No, sir.” “It is solely because weak people inherit strong things.” I stayed silent. He continued. “They enjoy comfort but do not understand sacrifice.” Then suddenly he stopped walking and looked at me. “Do you understand sacrifice, Isabella?” Sharply, Amelia’s face entered my mind instantly. My old cramped apartment. The huge debt. The fear. The pain. “Yes, sir,” I answered softly. He carefully watched me for a moment. Then nodded once.

The Emperor turned back, his gaze stern and full of anger. "You think I don't know what you've been up to?" He stepped closer to the Empress, his voice growing harsher. "Don't rely on your position as the Dowager Empress's niece to think I will always tolerate your actions. Ethan has endured much. Later, when we return to the Kingdom of Helios, you and I must make amends for him." The Empress bowed her head, her voice soft but her eyes burning with suppressed fury. "I will obey, Your Majesty."

The way a foreign, unfamiliar possessiveness curled inside my chest. I didn’t do possessiveness. Employees came and went. Business was business. But my instincts were screaming at me to shut this shit down before it got any further. "Offer denied," I said, my voice clipped. Evan raised a brow. "You didn’t even—" "Yuyu, you are dismissed." She turned to look at me, and for the first time in a long time, I couldn’t read her expression. Frustration? Annoyance? Disbelief?

Maybe it was because the whole time she was involved in everything but my life. I put my rebellion aside and answered her politely: "Everything is fine, Mom. No big news. I continue to attend meetings on the various fronts of the government. I am always watching and learning," Yes, learning that when I ascend to the throne, I will change the entire council of lords and nobles. The only reason I am just not going to strip them of their titles is because I am sure it would be a tremendous scandal across the kingdom. I thought all this but said only what was necessary to not disturb her. She nodded and said to me, "I'm glad you're learning so much, dear."
