"empress? what on earth is going on?"
i felt my knees wobble as i dropped to the floor, gasps echo one after the other, "your majesty!" they cried.
"laurant. laurant. larry."
i repeat his name. there i felt a tug in my hair, my crown that had always sat on my head fell to the ground as the piece of metal clinks five times.
lorey, my head maid, grabs the wench by the wrist and throws her to the palace floor. her vibrant red hair that resembles the blood of the imperial family that just fell to the ground.
"such insolence! a mere slave dare to touch the empress!"
"EMPRESS ROZIA."
my husband booms through the palace walls.
i let out a scoffed chuckle, "your majesty. what brings you to the emerald palace?"
*the emerald palace is only used by the empress and concubines of the emperor
"i do not recall inviting my husband to dine with me this evening."
he grits his teeth i saw his jaw twitch, how delightful. the emperor of a powerful nation is ticked off by a cat fight amongst women.
"empress. watch your tone."
"oh my. did i strike a nerve?"
there.
i lost my voice. my bodice felt damp.
my husband had attacked my neck.
"... i will return."
my world had died.
but the villainess always returns does she not?
