Third Person's POV

"Y-your Majesty..." The emperor's attention caught by Chan as he run in front of the Emperor. He bowed before he speak. "The queen of Baekjae," he swallowed his words like he was hesitating to tell him a bad news.

"Is she coming?" The emperor asked and continues to do his readings.

"Yes. She was in the Heart." It raised my brow as the word Heart was spit on the eunuch's mouth.

Seungcheol put down the book and look at Chan. "Let her come in."

"A-are you sure?" Chan asked.

"You heard me, Lee Chan." Seungcheol said and he rushed out from my hall.

Seungcheol clasped his both of my hands as his arms are supported by his knees, thinking deep. His mind is wandering about the reason of the Queen.

Baekjae is a country who still have a royalties that Seungcheol let govern to his empire. They have their own culture and the country does not want to be associated with the Empire. He knows that these people can will harm him in the near future but it doesn't bother him. He have his own ways to destroy Baekjae if they do that revolt.

"The Queen of Baekjae wants to see His Majesty!" The guard shouted outside Seungcheol's Hall and after it was announced, Queen Bom is presented.

"Long time no see, my dearest Son-in-law..." The queen stated as she walks in.

The Emperor smiled timidly to her. Acknowledging his unpleasant welcome to the queen.

"How's your day? Did my presence bothers you perhaps?" Queen Bom asked him with a mocking sound. Making the emperor slightly irritated.

"I am doing fine, wangbi-mama. (Queen Consort)" Seungcheol said.

"I want a Chinese Tea, my dearest." Queen Bom commands Seungcheol, that made the other frown.

"Why?" Queen Bom laughs as she saw the evident irritation of Seungcheol.
"I am the visitor. I should be treated welcome and loved. You should do it because it is an act of service to the Queen." She emphasize the word Queen.

"I don't do serving tea to someone who have a lower rank than me, wangbi." Seungcheol said. "Lee Chan is my eunuch and my personal assistant. He can do it, instead of me."

"Y-yes... I will serve your tea in a few minute, Baekjae wangbi-mama." Lee Chan said and went to the kitchen of the Palace.

"What do you intend to do here, Baekjae wangbi-mama?" Seungcheol asked the woman as it sits down on his chair.

The beautiful and stunning woman smiled, she smiles like a crescent moon. Similar to Jisoo's genuine smiles whose long gone. Her eyes gone as she smile.

"I want to see my son, my Jisoo." She said as Chan arrived and serves her.
"I was informed that he misbehaved recently and thrown at the cold room where your mistresses should be..." The queen sips dramatically to her tea.
"Oh my poor baby, he is unloved and left."

"He deserves it, he did wrong to someone." Seungcheol answered.

"But, he has the power to punish them." The smiles are gone and the cold eyes that stares at Seungcheol are evident.

"He has to do it since he is the Power of the Maiden's Palace. He is the Empress--"

"The empress should love everyone on his or her skirt. Nurture, care, and love them wholeheartedly." Seungcheol interrupts the Queen. "He killed a future Crown Prince or Princess. He commands every concubines of mine that they need to drink a potent poison so that they cannot carry my future children." He said without breathing once, "Your son suffers from a cold house while the victims and people they left behind are suffering on how they live without them. Convince me more that he deserves my pity and forgive which you know that I won't."
