Is he still okay or he had an amnesia that made him think that he's a good father to lady Vivian before when in fact he's not.

I saw a glint of anger in his eyes but he's too good to hide it easily that made me almost believe that he's not acting infront of me. What a good emotion hider. "What are you talking about, my daughter." He laughed humorlessly while his face is uneasy.

"What do you want, Duke Trickson? You came from a long place just to get here in my home abode, I bet you have something in your sleeves that you wanted to tell me?" I asked with a little bit teasing tone.

"You're really an intelligent, woman. My daughter—"

"Call me Empress Vivian, calling the Empress of this Empire by any informal names is already a treason without the permission of her royal highness,"

Nagulat naman ito sa sinabi ko na parang hindi makapaniwala. It's expected that he'll be surprised about my remarked because the Lady Vivian that he knows can't even talk back at him like what I'm doing right now, Lady Vivian respected his Father the most, because she loves him more than in this world, but her love towards this heartless Duke is just useless. He didn't give a damn about her that made her as an evil person. Grew up doing a lot of bad things because she was not nurture by her own parents. Her mother died and she didn't meet her that made her had a sad childhood for not receiving a care and love from a mother.

"I—I'm here... because I want you to help me to give this to the Emperor,"

May nilapag ito sa lamesa na papel, agad ko naman itong kinuha at binasa. I almost throw it away after reading the details in it.

I laughed. "How come I didn't know that the Emperor is about to held a selection of a new concubine?" Walang emosiyon kung tanong rito bago nag-angat ng tingin sa kaniya. "...and you send Lady Vixen as a representative of your household isn't that not right? You already send me here, only one maiden in a household can be send in the Empire, that's that law,"

He smiled at me coldly. "That's why I'm here to ask for your help, if the Empress will agreed to have an another woman came from in a same household it will be no problem, you have the authority to change the rules inside of the harem, the Empress Dowager of this Empire won't mind about your decision because she's already dead." He said with a wicked smil on his lips.

He's right, I have the authority to change all the rules in the harem but I don't want a nother woman in the Empire for the Empress Dowager is no long existing due to heart failure. I want the Emperor just by myself, call me selfish but I don't want another woman lurking in this Empire, doing evil things like how Lady Vivian do before. I know women in this kind of era. They love to do cat fight and more than that just to be favored by the Emperor. Poor them, I won't agree to this upcoming event. I will never hesitate to kill someone if they'll try to snatch the Emperor from me. Even I'm not the Lady Vivian he married before, I still have the rights to be this territorial with my husband.

I smiled at him, he's face lightened. "I want to help you..." I leaned over him. "But sadly I'm too possessive to share the Emperor's affection to other women out there," mapang-uyam kong sabi.

His face darkened. "Why—you insolent bitc—"

"Try to call me any names again and I will not hesitate to declare your own execution, Father." Madiin ko pang sinabi ang huling katagang para ramdam niya ang pang-iinis ko sa kaniya.

"You're really selfish, you're too greedy that's why I don't like you and you're sister is way more better than you because she's selfless,"

"Oh?" I covered my mouth exaggeratedly while giving him a fake shock expression. "Am I about to cry and beg for your affection in this part again?" I laughed humorlessly before grimacing. "My god! I can't believe that I've did a disgusting thing before, I'm glad that you send me here to realized that it's not my obligation to explain everything if at the end of the day you'll still not believe me and just accuse me for the things that I won't do,"
