Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The Emperor is truly her nightmare. He's the only person she doesn't want to see. He's scary and merciless. And having an encounter with him is nonchalantly a dead end for her. What did the emperor say? Sing for him? Seriously. This is why everyone is scared of him. The way he speaks is truly frightening; he sounds threatening as always.

She has not seen his face or reaction yet, but she has already declared that he's mad and drunk. Well, he has always been mad. Every time she walks around the palace to work, there is blood everywhere. And who in their right mind would love to see fresh blood on the walls every day?

She immediately walked beside the bed, where she thought he was sitting. Without looking at him, she kneeled down. "Please spare me, your majesty, for I can't speak. Therefore, I cannot sing for you." She signed nervously.

She's really nervous. She has no idea if he understands her signs. But she believes he's smart enough to understand her. He's the only Vassily who has chosen books. So he'll definitely know what she's saying, right?

"What the fuck are you doing?" He growled. "Are you fucking with me?"

Or probably not. What the hell, why did she even think that someone out there would immediately understand her? She started trembling beneath him. She might lose her sh*t; she already showed her weakness. He might toy with her even more for showing she's frightened. Why can't she kneel still? Her knees can't stop shaking; she feels cold, and ever since, her lips have begun quaking.

"Mute. Can't speak. Can't sing." She signed carefully once again. "Please pardon me. What you've asked me is impossible. It's not like I don't want to do it; I just can't do it."

The emperor sighed heavily and growled angrily. "Ah damn, what a useless brat. Doesn't living as a mute make you tired? Don't you want to die right now since you're useless? I can make that come true. Fuck. There are still things that I don't understand, and one of those is the question of why people like you still choose to live despite being useless?"

For the nth time, her heart sank. She has heard too many painful words already. Will she be able to finish this day well? Well, she might die on the spot. Is this the Vassily who everyone thought was kind because he preferred books? Well, everyone was wrong because he spoke the most painfully among the siblings. Every word that comes from his mouth is either a curse or an insult. That was truly painful for her.

"Please spare me, your majesty." She had no choice but to sign once again.

"Come here," the emperor ordered.

She stood up, still looking down. She can't look at him; she's really scared. She heard he has the scariest face and eyes; she's scared she might collapse due to intense fear. She's afraid she might see a demon right in front of her. Unless the Emperor asks her to look at him, she won't raise her head.

"Pour me a drink." He ordered once again, and she obeyed swiftly. "Good thing I've never seen you around before because you piss me off. And what the fuck? You're wearing a man's attire and yet I don't see you as a man. Am I seeing things now? What did you put in my drink?"

He's already drunk; it looks like he had two bottles already. She didn't do anything; she just let him drink the liquor she poured. The emperor has problems, obviously. He wouldn't be like this if he didn't. He may look unbothered at all, but deep inside he still recognizes trouble. He still has a fragile side. He's already drank two bottles, and yet he's still drinking as if he's just started. Wow, the tolerance is unbelievable.
