"Where is Selene?!"

"She in the Alpheus mansion, Your Majesty"
Claude banged his fist in his desk, a feeling of regret and fear tingled his spine

'I shouldn't have let Diana come with me if Selene is going to act like this'
He sighed in defeat as he leaned further in his seat

"Should I get her from the Alpheus mansion?"

"...No...let her take her time. Meanwhile, prepare to send a letter to her"
He took out a pen and began his letter

"Your Majesty? May I enter?"
A soft voice rang his ears and he knew who it was...Diana

"Enter"
The door opened to reveal a woman...a dancer

"What is it?"

"It's just...I wanted to apologize, Your Majesty. Because of me you and the Empress are–"
Diana fiddled with her fingers...looking like she was in guilt

"Don't concern yourself with my problems with the Empress. Leave"
He ignored her reasoning and only chose to continue his writing of the letter. Diana simply stared helplessly at the Emperor as she looked down, her face looked like she dwelt in guilt

'Because of me the lovely Emperor and Empress who everyone said to have loved each other deeply is now in a bad relationship...'
She slowly left the office


"You can stay here as long as you want Selene. Just take your time to sort out your thoughts"
Roger patted her back in comfort as Elianna watched the Empress' tears continue

"You need to be extra careful Your Majesty. Especially now that your 4 months pregnant. Pregnant woman like us tend to be fragile and more emotional"
Selene leaned on Roger as he continues to comfort her

And as time passed by, the rumours of the Emperor's mistress has been the talk of the empire. Almost all of the people were angered at the news

"How could the Emperor do that to our beloved Empress?!"

"I know right? He already knew that the Empress was in pain when the former Emperor played with different women! And yet he still–"

"Poor Empress. The fact that she is also pregnant with the future heir is infuriating! The Emperor dared to play with another woman while the Empress is busy taking care of their unborn child!"

Every noble wanted to meet the mistress that dared to seduce the emperor

"Oh my, looks like everyone is bearing hatred towards the mistress the Emperor brought"

Elianna giggled at the news. She isn't called a Beloved Empress for nothing

"Alright, I believe you...now what do you want?"
Selene narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Their crooked smile got wider as they got closer to her

"Indeed I want something...and in early return for a favor, I'll tell you something as well"
