"How could that be? We all know that Lady Chloe is the daughter of the duke. There's no way she is the real daughter." Kontra ni Empress consort Jing.
Tumayo pa siya sa kinatatayuan niya sa balitang narinig niya.
"The news has arrived that the Fourth prince has the sword."
"What?!" Mas lalo siyang nawindang sa huling ibinalita sa kanya.
Napaupo siya at napahawak sa sentido niya.
She can't believe that her son was chosen. She is happy but she was not happy to the fact that the real daughter of the legendary couple is the duke's daughter. She can't believed it. And she can't accept it.
"Oh my God! Why is it that the emperor always chose the wrong and the worst ladies for my son? Is he playing with my son?"
"Your highness, please calm down. "
"I can't accept it. I don't know what to do anymore to protect my son and prevent him with these shames."
Napailing-iling na sabi niya.
Hindi na niya alam kung ano ang gagawin niya. Hindi pa nga siya maka-move on sa nalaman niyang hindi pala buntis ang asawa ng anak niya. May nakapagsabi kasi sa kanya na hindi man lang daw ito nakunan sa gamot na pinainom niya dito at hindi din umepekto dito ang hinalo niya na gamot para mag-he-hysterical ito sa mga bagay na lihim niyang inutos sa mga katulong na ipakita ang mga bagay na ginamit nito sa pagpatay ng mga tao at sa kutsilyong ginamit nito na isinaksak kay Matthew.
Wala man lang itong reaksiyon at makikitang wala talaga itong naalala dahil sa inosente nitong mga mata sa tuwing tinitingnan ang mga mga nito.
Hindi siya makapaniwala dahil ang gamot na yon ay nagmula pa sa taong magaling na gumawa ng mga ganoon. Isa hanggang dalawang oras ay tatalab na dapat sana agad ang gamot na yon.
Kaya napag-isip-isip siya at mas lalo siyang naguluhan lalo na ngayong iba din ang asal ng dalaga sa harap niya.
She didn't even look ruthless and infact she found out that she was scared of the third prince, like as if she haven't met her before. It wasn't the kind of fear like she hate him or fear of remembering what he did to her. But the kind of fear that she didn't know the crown prince personally.
"Matthew, are you hiding something from me?" Bulong niya.
"Your highness, the fourth prince has arrived in the palace." Balita ng katulong na kakarating laman.
Agad siyang tumayo at lumabas ng kwarto niya.
She walked very fast that the servants were so afraid that she may stumble.
"Your majesty, empress consort is here and ask for your permission to go inside!"
Tumikhim ang emperor. Alam na niyang nandito si Empress Consort Jing pagkatapos marinig ang balita tungkol kay Matthew.
"Let her in." Sagot ng emperor.
Mabilis namang naglakad si Empress consort Jing habang tiningnan ang mga tao sa loob.
Matthew is here, the duke's family and her daughter and even the empress and the crown prince is here.
Yumuko siya at bumati sa emperor.
"What are you doing here empress consort?" Tanong ng emperor.
Empress consort Jing chuckled softly and looked at her son who was holding the sword with both hands.
The sword was beautiful. It was shiny and even clearer than those mirror. Its color is rose gold and the handle is pinkish blend with black and made of jade. It clearly is the sword from heaven because it looks magical.
