Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 1)

Page 182

Beatrix looked at the two princes. She did not know why her eyes focused first on Prince Andrew but she instantly turned her eyes away as she saw that there is something weird with the way he looked at her. It was so scary, cold, and dangerous! It is making her hairs stand on end!

She stared at Prince Anders instead, he is still shocked and speechless! She grew anxious and fearful that he did not want to marry her and just could not find the words to refuse her. Although fearful of the person beside him, she went closer to Prince Anders...

"Anders, please say something... Don't you want to marry me?" She asked and looked into the depths of his eyes.

"Of course, I would like to! I just did not expect that you will choose me. I am thankful! You know how I feel about you. I just could not find the right words to tell you. You do not know how happy I am!" He immediately explained as he threw all of his worries behind the back of his mind. What is important is the Love Luck Potion worked properly and Beatrix chose him! She will be his wife and the mother of all his children!

I am so glad it worked! All my sacrifices finally paid off! Beatrix will be officially mine very soon!

"I know and we have a lifetime for that." Beatrix smiled happily as she could see the sincerity and pure happiness in Prince Anders' eyes.

Prince Andrew felt his mind stop working! He could not understand what they are talking about! He saw his imperial brother's happy and satisfied smile which spells tragedy for him... Finally, Beatrix seemed to remember him and glanced his way. She looked at him and smiled happily... Suddenly, he felt a glimmer of hope! He is secretly praying that everything is just a nightmare and she will wake him up soon! That it is just a nasty prank that she devised to pull his leg and she will say: 'It is a joke! I am just kidding! Gotcha!'. But her next words crushed and trampled even the last spark of that tiny hope...

"Will you please give us your blessing, Your Highness Prince Andrew?" She directly asked him to let go of her and moved on with his life alone as she is going to build a happy life and wonderful family with his imperial brother!

Can I possibly do that? How can I do that?

He stared at her, trying to find any trace of his Beatrix who loves him with all of her mind, body, heart, and soul but there is only ruthlessness in her beautiful eyes and coldness on her attractive face! It took him every ounce of his courage and strength before he could finally give her an answer...

"Of course, if that is what you want... I am happy for you..." His face remained neutral as he fought against the urge to kill his imperial brother in front of everyone and then abduct and imprison her in one of his secret places! He thoroughly regretted listening to her promises of true love and happy marriage when from the very beginning she had a very close relationship with his imperial brother!

Lies! Everything is a lie! You never love me! You never want to marry me! You never want to be with me!

Prince Andrew regretted that he listened to her plea of going back to the imperial palace when the prophecy already warned him that she will marry his imperial brother!

Beatrix, you made me believe you so I could not separate you from my Imperial Brother...

All the hints, signs, and warnings are presented to him long ago but he chose to believe and trust her because she told him that she loves him and wants to marry him!

It is Imperial Brother whom you truly love and want to marry from the start... I should have killed him that time! I should have never listened to you! I should have steeled my heart and kept you there for myself! Then probably I will never be miserable!

She could feel a very strong killing aura from him but his face remained neutral...

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Andrew!" She gave him another cold response.

"Of course..." He said before he bade farewell to his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother. He excused himself from the banquet hall... Alone... Lonely... Devastated...

Beatrix saw him leaving... She fought the emptiness, loneliness, and pain deep inside her heart as she saw his lonely figure departing... She wants to run to him! Stop him! Embrace him! Comfort him! Tell him that she loves him! That she wants to marry him and build a happy family with him! That she wants to be with him always! But she stopped herself! She must not love him, marry him, and be with him in this lifetime and the next if she wants to avoid misery and a tragic end!
