Once, He Became An Empress[COMPLETED]

Chapter 38

"My! A pleasure to meet Your Majesty on such a good day."

Tumaas ang presyon ng dugo ko nang makasalubong ko si Lady Whitestone. He just great me without any respect. Paalis palang siya ng palasyo ni Odhran habang ako naman ay papasok.

"Sa lahat ng araw, ito pa ang napili mong pagkakataon para manira ng mood." Bulong ko sa sarili ko, hindi ko alam na napalakas pala. Oops! Sadya.

I was happy because the sun is good and windy but my mood drops to zero when I saw her face looking as demure as ever.

"I don't understand what the Empress is talking about." She smiled. Urgh, this devil.

Normal ba na maasar sa isang taong hindi ka naman sinaktan. I like women, pero wala sa listahan ang pangalan ni Roshein at ang kanya. Maybe I should write about the top 2 women I hated the most.

"Lady Whitestone. Alam kong umaakto ka lamang na mabuting ina ni Odhran, don't you think the kid will be hurt when he learns the truth?"

"I do not know what the Empress meant by that." She replied. Mukang wala nga siyang pakialam sa mararamdam ni Odhran.

I think I know now why I hate her guts. That's because I'm a devil and this woman here is a saintess.

"I don't know why the emperor let you near his highness the crown prince, but you can control no one in this palace. You can't bring the gods and goddesses with you just to break the invisible bond that we have for each other."

Her bright and fragile face darkened. Tumaas ang isang sulok ng labi niya.

"Pfft-HAHHAHA! Pfeiffer Rosenberg, you got me there. That's a silly thing to say." Napapahid pa siya sa gilid ng mata niya sa sobrang tuwa while I remained expressionless.

Her face suddenly became stoic, goodness, her expression changes so fast that I think she was crazy. Girls are crazy. Humakbang siya palapit sa akin. Kunot noong tiningnan ko lang siya.

"You must be the Empress right now but I could strip off that power you have. Ako ang nauna at handa na akong kunin kung ano ang naunang dapat sa akin. You're replaceable while I am the mother of the crown prince. Whatever people like you may say, I still am unparalleled." She paused and leaned towards me just to continue her words behind my ears.

"Matibay ang lupang inaapakan ko hindi tulad ng sa iyo na gawa sa salamin, it will shatter anytime soon so better careful. Your Majesty." She stands straight and smiles innocently at me.

Gusto kong kulamusin ang muka niya pero pinilit kong pakalmahin ang sarili alang alang sa kamay ko na makakahawak ng tinik. Others may think that she's a rose but hell no, this woman's a cactus.

"You're a party crasher Lady Whitestone. Outsiders should just remain outside when uninvited. I hope you don't mind the consequences that will befall you. Fisk is more powerful than we think he is. Well then." I tap her shoulder at dumirekta na sa loob where Odhran was waiting for me in his study room. The kid must be tired of dealing with a witch by himself.

"Your majesty something is going on around the empire!" Bungad ni Ezra pagkapasok niya ng tanggapan ko. She handed me a newspaper.

"Look here." Turo niya sa isang certain page.

'CROWN PRINCE'S REAL MOTHER IS NOT THE SAINTESS WHITESTONE'

Napakunot ang noo ko. Hindi mabubulabog ng ganitong balita ang mga tao. Is Lady Waylen just overreacting?

"This must be just-"

"No, here's another one from the most well-known newspaper distributor of this Empire." Nilapag niya sa lamesa ko ang isa pang newspaper.

'CROWN PRINCE'S MOTHER, HIDDEN AS A MAID: NOT DIED.'
