Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 2)

Page 210

Tsss! Getting along with my Father-in-Law is so hard! I remember that he likes my Imperial Brother so much... He always addressed him as 'My Good Son-in-Law'! What is so good about him?! Are all people blind?!! Can't they see that Imperial Brother's mind, heart, and soul are darker than mine?! I wonder if my Father-in-Law will change once Beatrix and I are legally married...

Emperor Andrew thought deeply as he remember some of their past arguments... He is probably just nervous tonight and excited for tomorrow to come! That is probably the reason why he suddenly recalled those things at his birthday banquet! He feels bored now... He wants to pout as he already missed her...

How much longer do I have to wait here? A little longer... patience... patience... For her, I need to be patient!

Soon, fearful imperial guards arrived inside the banquet hall and informed everyone that several black-clad men are attacking the palace and the empress' courtyard is on fire!

Emperor Andrew immediately stood up and leave the banquet hall! Due to severe panic, he was not able to give any command and ran as fast as he could towards her burning courtyard... It is great that General Ardor took the initiative to lead the men instead, trusting the Emperor who claims to be his Son-in-Law to save his daughter!

When Emperor Andrew reached the courtyard, his eyes widen as the flame is already big! Several guards, eunuchs, and servants are helping to put the fire out but it continued to blaze severely! Fear immediately gripped his heart when he saw her place severely burning!

He ran towards the structure and did not bother to listen to the screams and warnings that are trying to stop him from running inside the burning structure! He did not pay attention to them and he continued to run inside! He punched and kicked anyone who tried to stop him and he continued to dash inside the fiercely burning place! He needs to save her! He needs to save their baby! He needs to save them because they are his future!

Once inside, he already felt the burning heat and the suffocating thick black smoke! The fire inside is already spread, the intense heat is beginning to burn his skin, and the thick smoke is hurting his eyes and his lungs! He ran deeper inside the structure... Going in the direction of their bedroom! The falling fiery debris did not matter! The heat which is beginning to burn his skin and clothes did not matter! The teary and stinging eyes did not matter! The only thing that matters is her and their unborn baby! When he reached her bedroom, he saw a scene that he did not expect... He saw his Imperial Brother so sad and weeping severely while cuddling Beatrix, who is bleeding so badly!

Impossible! He is already dead! He is not supposed to be here!

But even if his supposedly deceased brother is truly there, that fact did not matter to Emperor Andrew anymore! He could see her bleeding so badly and the source of the bleeding alarmed him even more!

He ran forward and yanked his Imperial Brother away from her! He checked her vital signs and realized that she is already gone as well as their poor unborn baby! He cried wretchedly as he embraced her dead body... His mind is very messy and chaotic! His heart is in deep pain, misery, and anger! His whole being is in very deep, dark, and painful mourning...

He will never be with her anymore! He will never have a happy family! He will never have a happy life in the future! Everything was ruined by his Imperial Brother! He wants to kill him again but this time using his own bare hands! But, no matter what he does, it will never change the fact that his Beatrix and their unborn child are already dead!

"Why, Imperial Brother?!! Why?!! You could have killed me but why her?!! You said that you truly love her... Why did you harm her?!!" Emperor Andrew could no longer contain the grief and hate inside him as he cradles her lifeless body. He glared at his Imperial Brother who did not stand up after he yanked him away from her. His brother remained on the ground, staring absentmindedly at the burning ceiling.

"That is exactly the reason, Brother Emperor... I love her so much that I cannot live or die without her..." Prince Anders answered, still looking at the burning ceiling.

Emperor Andrew was dumbfounded by his answer. Beatrix's death is probably making his brain so troubled and unable to function like usual. He became a cold statue staring at his Imperial Brother who did not bother to move.

A moment of silence passed by until Prince Anders broke it...

"For what it's worth, Happy Birthday, Brother..." Prince Anders wants to greet his Brother Emperor although it seems awkward and inappropriate now. After all, he always does that every year so why change it?

After Emperor Andrew heard it, he slowly let her lie down on the ground then he hurriedly dashed to his Imperial Brother and violently choke him using his hands!
