Novel & Cerita The Last Empress Book

“Give me five.” “Don’t be long,” Sophia said when she picked up. “They’re watching the building. Be careful.” “Always,” Elara lied. She did not want Sophia to hear panic. Her voice came steady. “I’ll be down.” She packed fast. Each motion had the calm of someone leaving a station for good. A sweater, two dresses, the blue case Sophia told her to bring—papers, an extra passport tucked inside. She wrapped the child’s small blanket and tucked it into the case last, feeling both shame and fierce hope.

Cecily and Emery had been cleaning up the Empress’ room when they heard the dreadful news. The Emperor was poisoned by the Empress! The two handmaidens refused to believe it. Although the couple had their ups and downs, Ursa was not a rash person, nor was she as vicious so as to poison someone! Cecily had witnessed their harmony for herself, just as they were leaving the room for their dinner. Besides, Ursa would never make such a cunning move without first consulting herself or Emery, not that Emery was much help.

He just flicked my forehead and followed the lady to the other room. I waited for almost half an hour before they returned. The lady handed me a small book that was almost of the same size as my hand with my picture on it and several writings I could not understand. “Your eyes are gorgeous,” she complimented. “T-Thank you,” I responded. “Since you are gorgeous yourself, do not waste your time on that womanizer over there. He is not worth it.” “I can hear you, Frost,” Lansford stated as he stood from his seat. “Let’s go. We don’t have much time left.”

The rest of us followed, thirteen of us struggling through exhaustion and cold to make it to safety. As soon as the last of us cleared the gates, the guards completed the closure. The heavy wooden gates swung shut with a finality that felt almost ceremonial, and I heard the sound of the locking mechanisms engaging. We were in Karenthel. On the other side of the walls, the sounds of battle continued, but they felt distant now, separated from us by stone and iron. Vex collapsed to her knees, coughing, and Mira immediately moved to her side. "Vex! What happened? Your arm—"

She knew in her heart that as long as Quincy was there, the South Cloud World would go unconquerable. “Yes,” the Empress nodded. “That’s why I asked your auntie to return tonight. I feel relieved with her around.” The Empress was the leader of the nation, but she was not a cultivator. She was just an ordinary person. It was getting late; the Empress had a small talk with Princess Evergreen and left with the royal guards and her maids. Right after she left, Princess Evergreen hooked her finger towards Darryl, who was standing outside. “Handsome, it's fine now. Everything is fine; please come in.”

The threat against the Empire has been dealt with. The Empress, along with her family and the First Prince were sent to be imprisoned. The Empress didn’t manage to fully implement her plan because of me. Everything in and out of the Palace was back to normal after a few days. The guards that pledged their loyalty to the Empress surrendered and they were banished from the Empire. As for me, while I was recovering, I thought about what I needed to do. I pulled out the book that the scholar gave me. As I opened it, the once boring map suddenly jumped to life. There were colors in a few places and my name suddenly appeared at the bottom of the map where our Empire could be found. A few names pop

) - [Empress' Palace] As he was eventually successful in unlocking the door with the key that Azazel gave him, Oliver tilted his head side to side, glancing around the Empress' office. (Her office is really spacious.) He thought this as he looked about the dimly lit room with only the moonlight to aid his vision. He can't even light a fire as it would alert the guards to his presence, and everything he's done would be for nothing if that happened. (Let's see...) He continued walking around till he came upon a few book-filled shelves. (I don't really have the impression that the Empress is someone who likes to read.) He raised a curious brow as he took one of the books and stepped toward the

She had already started planning how to find the elusive [Master Thief]. I shook my head while looking at her. The fourth curse of [The Last Emperor] was delusion until the end of their lives.

But, life in the palace was different from popular perception - it wasn't all fancy dress, tea parties, and balls, nor was it full of sycophantic nobles. After the empress died, leaving no children, the emperor chose my mother as his consort. She was the daughter of a wealthy marquis and was known throughout the empire for her beauty. But, after giving birth to Princess Camellia, her only child from a loveless marriage, she died mysteriously. I have been rejected by everyone since I was born, leading the empire to mourn once again. The emperor's wife was poisoned, but no one investigated who committed such a terrible act against a young mother who had recently given birth to her daughter.

"Your Majesty, do you still have my mother's 'book of curses'?" "I can restore it and give it to you later," Emperor Frederick said, then he sipped his tea and whispered. "I don't need it anymore." Then, that meant he had been keeping that 'book of curses' all this time. I just shook my head at this new plot twist that I just found. 'Your Majesty, you really loved Lady Meredith, huh?' I thought to myself. I wonder why both of them ended up miserable like this if they loved each other. ***
