His Peculiar Empress, WAS A Man[COMPLETED]

Chapter 42

Napabuntong hininga ako. It is good for 3 days of a grand ball, Fisk suggested making it a week which I completely disagreed with. People were starving out there to just waste our budget on such a lavish celebration.

Umalis muna ako sa gitna ng maraming tao. I fixed my tired face muscle na kanina pa walang tigil sa pag ngiti. I just have to act nicely in front of these nobles. Marami pa ding prejudice ang mga tao sa akin as Pfieffer Rosenberg so I need to act as a good Empress worthy of keeping the throne next to the Emperor. Lalo na nang mabalitaan nila ang pagbabalik ni Trinity Whitestone na ngayon ay kasalukuyang inaabangan ng iilang bisita ang pagdating.

Sorry to tell you people that your first Empress couldn't attend the ball today and will never be able to. Women of high society were ready to crush me down not knowing what had happened.

Mukang nagulat din sila kanina nang sabay kaming bumaba ni Fisk sa iisang karwahe. I think that will help to change their opinion of our relationship.

Napatingin ako sa paligid, it's an empty hallway. Nagtataka ako kung nasaan na si Lev at bibihira na lamang siyang magparamdam sa akin nitong mga nakaraang araw. Well, maybe he has a problem to tend to. The devil has his own life too.

...But I did not expect him to be with her.

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang magtama ang paningin naming tatlo. Kinusot ko ang mga mata ko. Tama ba itong nakikita ko ngayon? The devil Leviathan is escorting my friend!

Napahinto din sila sa masaya nilang paglalakad. Petrified as they realized it was me.

Ang kanina'y magkabuhol nilang mga kamay ay bigla nilang nilayo sa isa't isa, even their distance to one another became 1 meter. Like nothing happened.

"You two..." I can't find my words for I am deeply shocked.

"Let us explain something, my sister-in-law!" Agad na lumapit sa akin si Hseih at kumapit sa braso ko na parang linta.

"Anong ipapaliwanang mo? Am I Your mom or something?" Tinulak ko siya palayo gamit ang balakang ko pero linta nga talaga siya hindi ko siya matagtag sa braso ko ng basta basta.

"We're just friends," Lev said.

"Ano kayo showbiz?" Napairap ako.

"Show what?" Takang tanong ni Hseih.

"Wala! But I don't give a hell about your relationship. If the both of you have a problem in the future...wag kayong lalapit sa akin na dalawa."

"Ehh? Our Pfeiffer is so bitter! Hindi ka ba naaalagaan ng maayos ng kuya ko." She pouted. Whatever.

Habang nagkakasiyahan ang lahat ay nakita kong nakatayo lang si Leviathan sa isang sulok, drinking champagne while eyeing the people.

"Excuse me for a while." Ani ko sa mga kababaihang kausap ko. I was busy talking with ladies while the Emperor are busy talking about his business with other noblemen. In this world, women shouldn't be talking with a bunch of men kung hindi maiissue ka ng mga kapwa mo babaeng may kalagayan sa lipunan.

Nilapitan ko si Lev sa isang tabi, I also got some champagne for myself. I don't think everyone could see him right now.

"What are you scheming and now with Hseih? Don't you think it's too much?" I sip from my drink.

I heard him scoff.

"You're thinking so badly of me, Pfeiffer."

"Cause you are." I know how wicked this man is. If he wanted something, he surely will get it, cause he's a devil after all.

"Right. Cause I'm a demon, I shouldn't seek my happiness into that human." He nodded. Nagangat ako ng tingin sa kanya. Why does he seem to hurt? Did I offend him?
