Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 2)

Page 284

"So you see?!! We do not have a choice! You have to marry Ardor to save me and Sky Empire!!! This is no longer a request... This is an order!!!" Emperor Julius declared in extreme fear and panic. He is now trembling while looking to his left, right, back, and above. "Please, I do not want to die!!! I will keep my end of the bargain!!! My Imperial Son is going to marry..."

"No!!!" Crown Prince Claudius refused as he could not believe that crazy story especially now that his Imperial Father is behaving like a crazy old geezer.

"You are stubborn and useless!!!" Emperor Julius hissed and choked him so hard when he expressed his blatant refusal. "You ungrateful son of my ugliest bitch!!! You will marry the general's son whether you like it or not!!! Do you hear me?!! I will not die!!! My empire has to survive!!! I do not care if I have to turn you into a whore to make it happen!!!" He spoke loudly and pressed his hands harder and stronger on his son's throat.

Crown Prince Claudius could not breathe! His face is getting hotter and redder due to a lack of air! He tried to remove his father's hands from his throat but the latter is very strong! He could see the insane glint in his father's eyes and soon, he is already at his limit! His vision is beginning to become blurry! His mind is screaming for air and his heartbeat is very fast! He is about to faint but he can't! He knows that he is good as dead if he faints! He does not want to die! Desperate times call for desperate measures! His hand reached for the sharp dagger that he is always carrying for protection and without hesitation, he stabbed his father so he will be forced to let go of him... 

He was overjoyed when his father dropped him and he was able to breathe again but horror shook his soul when he realized that his desperate attempt to save himself is a fatal blow! He missed the shoulder and accidentally stabbed his father through the heart instead! He killed his father! He did not mean it!!! He closed his eyes and trembled in the corner... He does not want to see his father bathing in his blood while his hands are also stained by the same blood!!! He does not know how long he stayed in that position... The next thing he knew, his best friend slapped him so hard!!!

For their survival and to escape the punishment, he abandoned his dream and became the emperor of the Sky Empire! His best friend, General Ardor, strongly supported and protected his reign. He killed everyone who knew about the ridiculous marriage arrangement, especially the forced wedding ceremony! Together, they found a way out of their huge crime by telling a big lie... And together, they wove the biggest half-truth and half-lie by declaring that their fathers wish to unite their families through marriage... But even if they are beaten to death, they will never confess the whole truth!!!

Just like most men, he also likes pretty and elegant women so it was truly a mystery to him why did he suddenly want to marry a woman with average looks... Well, she is kind, smart, thoughtful, and trustworthy... So all seems well until two months after the imperial wedding, the imperial physicians told him very bad news! 

They fearfully informed him that he is sterile! He was extremely devastated! Being unable to procreate and continue the imperial line was a big blow to him! He immediately made all physicians swear to secrecy and threatened that if this news came out, their heads will roll at the same time! He fought against the officials and did not let other women enter the harem because his situation will become too obvious if all the other women could not get pregnant too! For several years, he desperately looked for cures but none of them works...

General Ardor noticed his worry so he confided his secret to his friend. After that, the general told him how he suddenly become a great fighter and strategist... He could not believe it but the proof is in front of him! His friend warned him that the beautiful goddess might grant his wish but she would also ask for something very precious in return... He does not care! He already tried everything and now, he is already very desperate! That night, inside his bedroom, he summoned her...

"Claudius, what is it that you desire?" The alluring being asked playfully and smiled seductively while approaching him dressed in her overly revealing clothes.

"I... want... I... need... I... desire... a..." He suddenly could not make up his mind while looking at her extremely attractive features getting closer and closer to him. Seeing her peerless beauty makes him involuntarily gulp in anticipation...
