Sinister Obsession: Macsen Massey (Emperor Series, #3) ✔️

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

He has arrived. Finally, Emperor Macsen is back in his own empire. It feels so long; he only left for a week, but it feels like a season has already passed. His empire is quiet; it looks like the assassins did not have the chance to attack, even though he was gone for a while. His soldiers are commendable, then!

He brought with him the Empress of another Empire from the South, from the Danavan clan. Another powerful empire that's on good terms with the Vassily family. His father was the one who chose the woman. They had a good background, and the Danavan clan has always been a good follower of the Vassilys, so the Grand Emperor likes them.

She looks familiar. His dreams keep coming back to his mind upon glancing at her face. They were sitting in his chamber, resting after traveling so long. She's looking at him all the time, and he's getting sick of it.

"Have we met before?" He asked.

Her eyes widened. "Your majesty, do you remember me? Finally?"

"No," he said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh," the woman replied with a saddened face.

He sighed. "I was just asking, have we met before?"

The woman nodded hysterically. "W-well, yes. If you remember, when we were kids, we used to play in the forest. Our parents are unbelievably comrades, so they allow us to play together. You always came to save me back then. However, there was one time when I tried to save you. You fell and I took care of you. I have been waiting for this day, your majesty. I thought this day wouldn't come, but when you arrived to visit me—"

He frowned. Too fucking noisy. "You tried to save me?"

"Yeah?" The woman replied.

"In the forest when we were playing? And you were holding a basket?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah." The woman gulped.

His eyes narrowed. "What's inside your basket?"

She smiled. Fuck.

She was running all the way from the servant's hall to the Emperor's chamber. She was holding a tray with a cup full of tea. She's used to running errands, so the tea doesn't spill at all. However, due to her shaking when she was nearing the Emperor's chamber, the tea began to spill a little. She tried to calm herself, but she failed. The moment she entered the room and saw the Emperor laying on the bed alone, she felt weak.

She immediately put the tray down and removed her hat. She totally and finally revealed herself. Her very long hair fell gracefully as the wind from the window blew it away. Her scent spread across the room, waking the Emperor immediately.

"Emperor," she said.

"Who the fuck are you—?" He stopped as soon as he saw her familiar face. It's the face he fucked the whole week; how could he forget?

"It's me, Belle, your majesty," she replied.

Her heart sank when he frowned. "Fuck. So you've finally decided to reveal yourself to me fully, huh? The last time I checked, you couldn't still tell me the truth. What now? Did your conscience attack you?"

She shook her head. "Your majesty, I'm not here to make you mad. I hope you listen to me."

His fist clenched, making her step back. He was angry, and it's evident. "What the fuck are you doing here? Fuck, I didn't know you're dumb. You can't understand when I tell you to leave, huh. Didn't I tell you to leave a couple of times? Or do you want me to send you off myself? Tell me what do you want? Do you want to see me go berserk and kill you instead?"
