One of His Concubines

CHAPTER 2

I remembered my friend saying that Elowen was the right person to sit on the Empress throne because she was the one who produced a heir in this empire. But the current Empress took that from Elowen.

Elowen was not even interested in the throne!

The Emperor also was not interested in his harem. He's not even favored one of the concubines. The patrician were the one's who wanted the harem to make their daughters sit on it and bear a prince.

“My lady, mali po itong ginagawa natin,” Kitty nervously said while holding her head with her both hands.

“Just help me pack this food,” I commanded.

She immediately went near me. She grabbed the remaining bread in the cabinet and put into the leather bag I was holding.

Before the sunrise come. I have to get out of here and save myself. I already packed a few dresses for our trip. I only chosen the simple and plain one.

Even though Elowen have only Kitty as her servant. The one who's handling the Imperial Harem are sending money, foods and new things in this palace.

It's already midnight and the whole Imperial Castle was quite. Although there's a knights patrolling in this time, in the border of the castle. Matutulongan ako ni Kitty makalabas dito.

When Kitty finished, she wore the bag and I also wore the bag where my things are. Kitty is also holding a bag. Its her things.

We immediately went out in the palace. We stopped in the front of the palace. This palace is huge and fabulous but I don't have plan to stay here until tommorow.

I shifted my gaze to Kitty. I saw how her face went sad while looking in this palace. I sighed.

“I'm not forcing you to come with me. You can still come back and serve the next person who's gonna live here.” she looked at me and smiled.

“Mahal ko ang lugar na ito, my lady... Pero kung hindi ikaw ang aking pagsisilbihan ay kailangan kong tanggihan ang iyong sinabi.” I chuckled. How this girl became so loyal to her even the old Elowen was not looking at her.

We turned around and started to walked. Kitty was stopping me when I said to her my plan. But I can't let the Empress killed my second life. After making up stories to her to let me go, she agreed but she will report it to the head maidservant if I don't let here come.

I'm hugging my self while walking because the night is cold right now. I'm wearing a thin white dress so if someone chased us I can run freely.

The palaces of the imperial castle had its own glows in the night. I can saw that the Astrantia Palace is the bigger and Sweetpia Palace where I stay is the smaller.

Kitty told me that the Imperial Castle had ten palace and I can saw them right now.

Astrantia Palace is bigger and most glowing right now. All the events happened in the empire are held in that Palace.

Lisianthus Palace where the chamber of the Emperor. And Siberica Palace for the Empress. The current only prince of the empire is living in the Lepedium Palace. That four is bigger than the rest.

The rest are Scabiosan Palace, Celosia Palace, Gentian Palace, Limonium Palace, Ambrosia Palace and Sweetpia Palace. Where all the concoubines lived.

When we reached the Imperial gate. I arranged my veil properly to hide my face. It's a good thing that many of people's here was not aware of me.

There's a knights guarding the gate, they're so many. Kitty, immediately approached and talked to one of them. I think he's their leader.

“Magandang umaga po, Sir Damian.”
