Crown Prince Reginald was grinning ear to ear upon hearing the Emperor’s summon. No wonder he was feeling good this day, it was because his beloved Emperor would call for his presence. He was walking confidently in the hallway. The brightness of his face lit it up. The maids are starting to believe that they might have been seeing an actual angel. This was their first time to see Crown Prince Reginald this enthusiastic.“My Sage,” as soon as the Emperor appeared in his eyes, his feet immediately moved faster as he approached her from the back. So then, he wrapped his arms around the Emperor from the back as he kissed her head.“I have been missing your touch, Your Majesty.” He started rubbing his face to her cheeks, cuddling like a child. “Your smell… your lips…” he was about to kiss her lips but she was able to divert it.“Please have a seat, your highness.”Reginald flinched as he lost his interest. He stood up properly and sat opposite her. Now, he had his usual business smile. “I
Upon hearing what Zale said, Darya already has a presumption that she will believe. It was just a presumption but it is too painful to claim as just a presumption when she knows that it is going to happen in a minute. She did not interrogate Zale anymore. She just could not hear more about it as she felt like listening to it would be the end of her world.“Lavenorth, assign the best of the knights to protect the fifth consort.” She had no time to think of many things as her mind was already occupied with too many possibilities. As soon as she arrived at her office still wearing her sleeping garments, Lavenorth who just arrived was terrified to hear her sudden command.Sir Lavenorth was panicking after seeing the Emperor’s bad complexion while she was holding her sword.“W-What happened, Your Majesty?” He wanted to walk closer to her but she seemed to be in a hurry. She was writing something on a…. golden paper? His eyes widened after seeing the paper.Why would the Emperor use the gol
The gallops of the horse were so loud to her ears. Every step was like a stab in her chest. Every breath she takes was heavy as if her soul has been slowly plucked out of her body. Her mind screams one name. Her mouth says one phrase, “Please be safe.”But before she could even reach half of her unexpected journey, she heard the Imperial eagle flapping its wings and screaming. She slowed down as she whistled through her mouth. So then the eagle goes down to her. She immediately checked the content of the message, tied on its legs.“Rebellion”It was Sir Lavenorth’s penmanship. With just this one word, she knows that it was serious and that the Imperial palace is in a dire situation. Her hands trembled as she found herself in a dilemma.She was born to serve the Empire. She was born to rise up and help her people. She was born a woman to fight for the rights of her gender. She grew up and built an Empire worthy of praise, an Empire that is envied by Kingdoms and Empires. Her blood and
As Emperor Darya heard the thundering of the sky, her heart sank as it was strangely filled with remorse. She felt so sad that it was becoming hard to breathe and it felt like she was getting further and further away from her destination. She then prayed to Fergus that she would arrive at Nirov as soon as possible and as she opened her eyes, her horse was galloping in the entrance of the said town.The surroundings were a mess and blood was splashed everywhere. It was already quiet and all she could hear were the cries of the injured knights.“Y-Your Majesty!”A knight immediately recognized her and all of them lowered their gazes as they were surprised to see the Emperor, in her sleeping wear, as if she rushed to go to Nirov. “Where is General Theobarlt?” Darya immediately asked.As soon as they heard her asking about the whereabouts of the General, all their eyes showed an anguished sentiment, their mouths could not speak as if it was permanently sealed. This kind of reaction made
Dressed in modest white dress to commemorate her third consort’s death, Emperor Darya faced her people gathered outside the palace walls who were waiting for her announcement. It is obvious in her expression the remorse with what happened to the Largoth Empire. After the people found out that her third consort passed away during the barbarian battle, they all took any white flower and held it as they gathered outside the main gate. This is to show their sincere hearts are mourning the Empire’s General’s death. It is also to show their sincere gratitude to him as he put the people in good hands.Seeing white flowers below her, she clenched her fist, trying her best to not show a weak expression. The only people who saw her struggle behind the scenes were all of them with her. These include Duke Esteban who’s heart is broken seeing her suffering. Silla was also there still processing the fact that the Empire’s General had passed.“I express my gratitude to see the people of the Largoth
Ejila ran towards Alluka after spotting him from a distance. She immediately clung to his neck and cried out loud after seeing him looking well. Alluka, on the other hand, laughed and carried her in his arms. He then kissed her head.“Are you alright? How about our son?” He asked.“We are fine but you,” Ejila hit his chest.“What happened in the Imperial Palace? What about Her Majesty?”There, Alluka was silenced which made Ejila become more worried.“Let’s get inside first.” Alluka gently put Ejila down and insisted on them talking inside their house.There he saw Zale, sitting in the living room. So he sat opposite Zale as Ejila sat beside him. Alluka was silenced at first. When the atmosphere was getting deafening, he spoke.“Her Majesty is safe and sound but… General Theobarlt… passed.”Hearing this, Zale stood up and immediately ran to the door, thinking of coming back to the Imperial palace but Alluka grabbed his arm to stop him.“I don’t think it would be good if you go there,
Emperor Darya’s eyes were fixated on Crown Prince Reginald while his battalion of knights marched towards the borderline. This makes Crown Prince Reginald’s mouth curved wide and is going crazy that Emperor Darya’s attention was on him. He suddenly made a little chuckle that made his commanders confused.“Just like that, my Sage. It feels so good when you look at me like that.”The elegant composure of Emperor Darya, a woman, in the Corstan knights is dominant. Most of the Corstan knights never saw the Emperor and this is their first time seeing her.Looking great and mighty, beautiful and serious, their hearts could not believe that they were confronting such undeniable beauty. His straightened hair that dances with the strong wind is like a sign that they should not look down on a woman’s capability of commanding a war. Her eyes that pierce through them show great control and ruling. How can such beauty be regarded by their Crown Prince as an enemy? It is such a shame that she is th
The victory of the Largoth Empire in the war caused the whole world to shake. The people in the Empire had already made preparations after having a feeling that they would win the war after the disappearance of the fog. The people hoped and prayed for the victory of the Empire and their prayers were answered. As Emperor Darya and the imperial knights marched towards the Imperial palace, the people were all present to give them gifts and welcome them with a simple celebration although the capital city had lost properties. Nearby towns have also contributed and attended the celebration. All remaining nobles were waiting for their arrival. As soon as Duke Esteban saw the unscratched figure of Emperor Darya, tears were falling from his eyes as everything she had done came back to him like flashes of memories. Despite the fact that she can remember their past and his betrayal, she did not hesitate to trust him every time. She trusted him with the whole Largoth Empire while she was away.
