AFTER Princess Libitina made a fuss, I decided to be alone. Isang oras na ang lumipas mula ng i-anunsyo ng Emperor ang mapapangasawa ko ngunit hanggang ngayon ay binabagabag pa rin ako. Nagtataka pa rin ako kung paanong nabago ang dapat sana'y fiancé ko.

Did all of this happen because of the performance I did earlier? But nothing has changed about the fact that I am getting married. Does this suggest that, despite today's changes, my death scene will still take place?

“This isn't good.” Bulong ko kasabay ng pagbuntong-hininga. Sumimsim ako ng wine at hinimas ang noo dahil sa biglaang pananakit nito.

Kamukhang-kamukha niya ang yumaong Empress. So how does it feel to see your old rival in the Imperial Princess, Your Majesty?napataas ako ng kilay ng marinig iyon. So I simply looked in the direction where the Empress was, she was talking to two women who I thought were her minions. The one with black hair was Countess Bachileré, while the one with chestnut hair was Viscountess Annesley, as I recall.

Bago sumagot ang Empress ay tumingin siya sa akin kaya nag tama ang aming mga mata. I no longer regard the former Empress as a rival, and since being crowned as the new Empress, I accepted Her Highness with open arms and consider her as my own daughter.” I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her claims to be an exceptional Stepmother.

Nagpaalam ang Empress sa dalawang kausap niya at lumapit sa table na kinaroroonan ko. Inilibot niya ang mga mata at nang masigurong walang nakatingin ay masamang tingin ang binibigay niya sa akin. What exactly did you do to Celia? Are you the one who killed her? Vitalia gripped my arm fiercely, but instead of being stunned, I met the fire in her angry eyes.

I cautiously pulled her hand from my arm and took the letter carrying Vitalia's command to Celia on how to murder me from the bottom of the dress I was wearing. Itinaas ko iyon at nakita ko ang gulat sa mga mata niya, pasimple pa siyang luminga-linga sa paligid at hinablot ang sulat sa aking kamay.

“Do you aim to tear it down? Go ahead and rip it up since I have no intention of telling everyone what you did. Except for—” Hindi ko na na-ituloy ang sasabihin ko nang muli niyang hilahin ang aking braso but this time ramdam ko ang gigil niya.

You killed Celia. I will kill you—”

“Oh, my! Why are you so upset over what happened to that poor lousy Nanny?” natigilan siya at tila nahimasmasan ngunit huli na siya dahil kusa kong itinulak ang sarili enough para ma-agaw ang atensyon ng lahat.

Kumunot ang noo niya sa ginawa ko, mukhang walang idea sa balak kong gawin. “I know you will never accept me as your daughter but...still you don't have to hurt me just to show me how worthless I am...hic...hic,” as tears streamed down my cheeks, I cautiously removed the cloth that had been covering my thigh at nang tuluyang mahawi iyon ay narinig ko ang malakas na pagsinghap ng mga nobles na na nagmula pa sa walong kaharian because they could clearly see so many bruises from Harmony's injuries at the hands of Vitalia and Celia.
