"What?". "I don't want him to turn out like you. Heartless" my mother spoke up. I laughed at that. "I'm a heartless person now?"I asked. "Really?". "You made me like this. I didnt ask to be born into a family like this." I said. I walked towards them and stood infront of my mother. "I didnt ask to be born to a worthless peace of--" I was cut off by a slap. A slap that came from my mother. I touched my cheek and looked at her and smiled. "Get out" I told her and saw my dad get up from his seat. "Get out" I hissed and saw my mom's face turn into one of regret. My father took hold of my mothers arm and pulled her towards the door. "Tell my brother the alliance you guys had with my uncle doesn't apply to us" I said calmly. My father and mother stopped in their track and looked at me. I sat in my seat and smiled at them.

She was born to be an empress. Beauty like immortal, talented in many aspects and a great politician. She married to the crown prince at the age of 11. Engendered two heirs for the kingdom. She really lives a perfect life. Shining crown and beautifully embroidered gown. Tingling hairpins on her head doesn't make her happy. Is it too greedy to ask for more? Is it insolent to say that she's unpleased with her life? Because the emperor never looked at her. Because he doesn't favor her, her days are full of sorrow. All she ever wanted is him.
