Prince Andrew silently prayed that his Imperial Brother is not that stingy in buying the gift or else Beatrix will be extremely mad and insulted! He almost coughed up blood when he and Beatrix finally saw what is inside! The content of the gift is a hairpin that is very cheap and ordinary it resembled a chopstick!
Andrew, are you trying to tell me that I am so cheap and not worth a single penny?!!
Beatrix silently thought with gritted teeth! If a poor person gave her that gift, she would be extremely grateful but since she knows how wealthy Prince Andrew is based on her experience so she was extremely insulted and angry!!!
"Your Highness Prince Andrew, thank you so much for your wonderful gifts! Rest assured, that I will always remember your kindness and generosity from the bottom of my heart!" She politely said and smiled but why does he feel extremely cold all over his body?
Another year passed and the night before Beatrix chose who among the two princes she is going to marry finally arrived! There was a huge banquet attended by the imperial family and all the important officials and their family members.
Prince Andrew is about to drink his wine when he noticed something!!!
Someone put a strong aphrodisiac on my wine! Who did it? If it is Beatrix, I will immediately drink it!!!
He expectantly turned towards Beatrix but she seemed so innocent and so focused on talking to his Imperial Mother.
Too bad, it is not her... Is it my Imperial Brother's trick again?!!
He angrily turned towards his Imperial Brother but he also seemed so busy talking to his Imperial Father.
He seems innocent this time... Who did it?
He scanned the surroundings and finally saw this suspicious girl staring at him like a hungry wolf staring at a very delicious meal!
Is she the one who did it?
He wondered but finally decided to secretly exchange cups with his brother. He winced when he successfully did it but the Emperor is proposing a toast! He needs to drink from the same cup that his Imperial Brother had already used earlier!
Argh! It already has his saliva! Does this count as an indirect kiss with my Imperial Brother? So dirty and disgusting!!! But it is dirtier and even more disgusting if I roll in sheets with that woman! I will bear with it!!!
His face blackened as he drank the content inside the cup to avoid causing any suspicion! After he obtained the Emperor's approval, he immediately stood up and left as he wants to wash his lips and mouth soonest! After he finished rubbing his lips and washing his mouth thoroughly, he went out to see a show...
As he expected, his Imperial Brother also went out from the banquet hall. Prince Anders seems very disoriented and panting! He was struck at the back of his head and passed out then four black-dressed people took him somewhere... Once the area is cleared, Prince Andrew finally came out of his hiding place.
Imperial Brother, consider this as my payback for framing and sabotaging me all these years! May you enjoy your night!!!
He chuckled and went back to his courtyard. He will not go back to the banquet hall anymore! He does not want to alert the people who arranged this!
A good show will surely unfold tomorrow so I must appear in my best appearance!!!
Prince Anders was caught rolling in sheets with a noblewoman named Anne Smith, a third-rank official's daughter! After that incident, Beatrix was forced to marry Prince Andrew while Prince Anders was forced to marry Lady Anne.
After seven months, Princess Anne successfully gave birth to four healthy baby boys. For this same reason, Beatrix and Prince Andrew were being pressured to also give birth to another imperial child!
For five years, Prince Andrew tried to get Beatrix's love and acceptance as a husband but she remained so aloof and so cold to him that their marriage was also not consummated resulting in being childless for five years. During this whole time, Crown Prince Andrew was pressured by the Emperor and officials to take in concubines because he and Beatrix are still childless.
Crown Prince Andrew is a very promising future Emperor but his being childless for a long time is a big deal for everyone! He always went home early to visit his Crown Princess Beatrix, informing her of the situation and urging her to have children with him or even at least one child will do...
"Beatrix, I do not want to pressure you but you know how important it is for a future Emperor to have children..." Crown Prince Andrew seriously explained to his wife just like usual.
"I understand, Your Highness. Please divorce this humble servant and choose a more suitable woman as your legal wife and mother of your children..." Beatrix replied like usual.
His hands clenched tightly as his heart ached so much!
