CHAPTER 11

NARRATOR'S POV

"Claude...can you let me breath please?"
Selene gasped for air when Claude kept leaning his head on her stomach where the young fetus is. Oh right, he's asleep. Knowing how much of a deep sleeper Claude is, Selene desperately tried to get away from his grasps and gently placed his head unto the pillows

"I should get some good air"
She silently added, while getting up from her position and proceeded to walk out of the room through the rose garden he gifted her a week after their marriage. She simply stared at the blue and red roses together

"Big Sister! You see those red roses? They look beautiful!"

"That's how I kept calling her Little red or...my petite rose"
She whispered to herself. She remembers how much her younger sister loved roses, especially the red ones. She says that it reminds her of the color of rubies...or blood

'Ahh yes. How could I forget? The older Little Red gets, the merciless she becomes...she loves blood'
She held the precious red rose onto her hands, enamored by its beauty

Feeling a pat on her shoulder, she felt initial shock when she saw who it was...

The Next Day

"T-thank you for inviting me to this tea party, Your Majesty"
Eleanor gulped in shame when she saw the empress giggle

"Ahhh Duchess L'ronne...it's great that you were able to join the party, otherwise, it would be a shame"
All the other girls laughed at what the empress words ,knowing the meaning
Translation : You still had enough guts to join, it's good that you did though, otherwise, how should I be able to see you in such a state?

Eleanor grasped her dress tightly, clenching her teeth in frustration
"Also, Empress, I've heard that you made Eleanor the person to prepare the tea? It that true?"
A random noblewoman suddenly asked, making Selene grin

"That's true Lady Lorrin, in order to repent her sins, I decided to see her worth by observing how she prepares the tea on a tea party"
Selene held her fan and covered her lower face

The servant brought the tea where it was served to each ladies, including the empress except
"Let me pour the tea for you, Your Majesty"
Eleanor blurted out as she held the tea pot that is supposedly just for the Empress

"Thank you, Duchess Eleanor"
Eleanor slowly poured the drink, her hands shaking from humiliation
'How could she treat me like this?! I'm a Duchess! Yet she is treating me like a damn servant!'
Eleanor screamed mentally

Selene lifted the drink...the boring black tea drink and took a big sip before humming with satisfaction
"Hmm it seemed that your skills in making such...tea is an exception"
Selene place the cup down and began to chat with the other noble ladies, leaving Eleanor alone

"L-let me out!!"
She banged the iron bars with a loud screech, the guards on duty is beyond pissed and is in the verge of beating her up until they heard a masculine voice

"Don't mind her...open the bars"
And immediately on command they opened the bars of the cell and swiftly closed it after he entered
