"Mhm..."
Eurielle woke up.
As she sat up from the bed, she realized that she wasn't in her room at all.
Instead, it was grander and bigger than that. There was tons of gold inside the room. From the walls to the floor, and the furniture as well..
"??" She tilted her head in confusion.
*Creak*
"You're awake, my lady." Nathalia walked in, pushing a wheeled table that had food and dessert on it.
"Nathalia. Where is this place?"
"It's the late emperor's room. The Grand Duke and others moved you here while you were resting."
"Others?"
Also, why was she in the late emperor's room?
Thinking about it hardly, it just doesn't make sense at all.
"Why... Why am I here?"
"Your father will explain it to you, my lady."
"Father.. where is he?"
"Please follow me."
...
Eurielle wondered why there was a huge portrait of her hanged on the sacred walls instead of the royal family's picture there.
The painting was immaculate.
She was totally confused right now.
"Eurielle." Her father approached her from behind.
"Father... What happened?"
The last memory that she had was sleeping after being treated by Asterion.
'Where's Rion?'
"And.. why are we in the imperial palace?"
"The prince is dead."
"What?"
"And so is the emperor. I killed him." Her father proudly said.
The prince dying.. she could still somewhat understand it.
But the emperor?
"Why..."
"It's his punishment. He had an unforgivable sin towards us, especially to your mother."
"But why is my image hanged there? Its position belongs to the emperor, right?"
"There's something I forgot to tell you.
You're the emperor now. Well, empress to be exact."
"What?" Eurielle gasped. Maybe her father was kidding.
"Father, are you joking?"
"I don't make jokes, Eurielle." He laughed for a bit.
"I don't know a thing though."
"Everything is already set. All that's left is for you to do anything you want."
"..."
"I promised your mother that I'll give you everything you deserve. This is my way of keeping my promise to her. And it is the empress who can have everything below her feet in the empire. And that will be you."
Her father knelt and bowed in front of her.
"Eurielle, this is my last request as your father."
"...Please stand up, father. I'll be the empress like you said."
