Then with a bow, the maid stated "The Emperor calls upon you,"

Ophelia frowned at her words, 'why would he call upon me at this hour?!' she wondered.

"And what is the reason? I'm in my nightgown,"

Then with a nervous tinge, she informed her "To spend the night with him as his concubine,"

The sound of glass shattering filled the unexpected silence that came after her statement.

"P...pardon?! But I'm engaged to his son? I won't go," She stammered in panic trying to collect her words.

The maid began to express distress at Ophelia's reply and informed her "If you do not come, Princess Ophelia. We were told to throw you in prison,"

"Then imprison me! I will not spend the night with the Emperor,"

The maid gave her yet another bow and told her "Then I shall escort you to your cell respectfully," her voice immersed in guilt and hesitation.

'Ugh, when will this day end...' Ophelia groaned to herself as she grabbed a silk robe to cover herself with.

Then leading the way she wearily followed behind her out her room into the vast halls.

The maid who was in front of her looked into the shadows with an apprehensive expression and gave a slight nod. So subtle that Ophelia wouldn't notice.

"Where are we going? I'm pretty sure the jail cells are-" Ophelia's sentence was cut short as two armed guards grabbed onto her frail arms tightening their grips and covering her mouth.

She instantly began to squeal at the sudden ambush, her heart pounding from anxiety as she struggled to free herself.

Tap, tap, tap, tap...

The sound of tapping shoes echoed down the hallway and so Ophelia hastily looked in the direction of the maid, but she was met with her fading silhouette as she sprinted into the distance.

'She tricked me...those corrupt maids were never truly loyal to me.'

Her eyes watering with fear as the guards pulled her in the other direction swinging her around as if she were a doll.

They were looming closer to the Emperor's Palace, Ophelia hadn't given up her fight though.

She quickly bit the hand of the guard who covered her mouth and kicked the other in the shin. She was able to break free and began to scream in hope of being rescued.

"HELP! ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME! I-" Before she could fully break away one of the guards jerked her back towards him and resumed in dragging her back to the Emporer's room.

"Why-" she huffed in pain.

And one of the guards answered her with: "Because it is your duty as his Concubine,"

But her struggle was useless, they had opened the large doors to a dark chamber and aggressively threw her in.

"Ugh!" She wheezed as she hit the ground, soon engulfed in darkness as the doors sealed her in.
