       < Calix Coastillon >
                                     

I tried to breathe, but it's heavy in the pit of my stomach.

What exactly is she angry about..... so much so that Elijah wants to leave me.

Anyway, it's strange... that she is this angry.
She is angry enough to talk about divorcing. I have to consider this carefully.

But....

'I... Don't love you anymore Calix.'

The moment I heard that broken love word. I feel like every organ in my body was twisted.

"Your majesty..., I had prepared the tea to calm your mind" Ced.

"Alright.... but, that won't calm me, though."

"... Your majesty, Are you really.... going to imprison the Empress in the Palace?"

"Imprison?.. What are you talking about....?"

I...!!

But... I only told them to guard the Empress's Palace...

It's no difference from imprisoning her in the palace... Argh!

"Your majesty, if you kept the Empress in the palace without any proper reason. The Aristocratic Society and the commoners also will cause a ruckus. Please reconsider"

...

But if I don't keep Elijah... I feel like she would immediately flee from here.

"Alright, you can leave now, Ced"

"Yes, your majesty" atsaka na sya lumabas ng kwarto.

Haizz... Hindi kona alam anong gagawin ko..

*knock knock*

"Come in."

"Greetings, your majesty, the blinding light of the Empire"

"Did something happen in the Empress's palace?"

"Nothing else, your majesty... But a maid from the Empress's palace sneaked out using the backdoor. When I held her back to check, I found a letter that I immediately brought here"

"A letter?"

"Yes, your majesty" tsaka nya iniabot ang envelope na hawak nya.

"Okay, you can leave."

"Yes, your majesty"

Pagkalabas nya ay binuksan ko agad ang envelope. Sure akong kay Elijah galing ang letter na ito...

Pero kanino naman kaya niya gustong ipadala ang sulat na ito...

Pagkabukas ko ay natuon agad ang mga mata ko sa isang sentence na nasa unahan.

'Maybe I will need your help, father'

The help that she mentions here indeed...

Is the Divorce.

"KNIGHT!"

"Yes, your majesty?"

"KEEP A TIGHT REIN ON THE COMING AND GOING OF THE MAIDS OF THE EMPRESS'S PALACE!"

"Yes, your majesty"

"NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION... NO. ONE. IS. ALLOWED. TO. GET. OUT."

"Y-yes, sir!"

"Send words to the general to stop the news about the Empress's palace from getting out. Control the mouth of the servants tightly."

"Yes, your majesty!"

...

Elijah... How could you do that to me?

WE WILL DEFINITELY NOT DIVORCE.

Because, I am Calix Coastillon. Our relationship only has some temporary cracks.

With time, everything will be alright!

                           < Elijah Archer >
                                       *.*.*

"Your majesty.... The letter fell into the Knight's hand. ...And now... I think the letter is now on his majesty..... Ahh!! I'm sorry your majesty for not keeping the letter safe!! I'm really sorry!!" Tsaka sya lumuhod sa harap ko habang humihingi ng tawad.

"It's okay, Claire. It's not your fault, kaya tumayo kana diyan"

The border of the Empress is so reinforced that even a single ant cub can't escape. *heavy sigh*

I didn't think that you would do it like this, Calix.

I thought it was a momentarily angry word, but... The knights are still here.

Calix... What's wrong with you? Right now, I can't fully understand what's in your mind.

You even appointed my father to be the head of the mission to the other countries..

Alam kong ginawa mo to para di nya ako mapuntahan at makita.

Calix,.. Are you really thinking of locking me up in the palace? Hah!

...

If my father doesn't notice the strangeness...

What if he goes to the other countries like this...

It must be difficult to hide the fact that I'm pregnant..

If everyone finds out, the cliques of the aristocrats will split between our unborn child and Calix.

And if someone tries to kill my unborn child...

!!!..

"No!! That won't happen! Not again!!"

"Your majesty! Don't stress yourself. You haven't recovered completely. I'm afraid you'll fall again" Claire.

Right!

I can't fall down right now. I need to stand still for my unborn child.

"Claire, bring me some hot tea"

"Yes, your majesty"

It'll be all right, my baby.
Mommy will not let you suffer in this game of thrones.

Ilalayo kita sa magulong lugar na ito.
