The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 72

Celestia was about to stand up, she wants to avoid any controversy especially now that the media is active.

“Stay.” His deep voice echoed in her ears, it’s just a whisper yet it still feels powerful.

With a deep breath, Celestia accepted her fate, her body becoming cold, she really doesn’t want any trouble as much as possible.

Hannibal went up and moved to another seat, giving a vacant space for Astrid beside Logan.

He gave a small nod at the empress of Theavarian, as she finds her way to Logan’s side.

Walking with great elegance, Astrid caught the eyes of the people from the room. She exudes the aura of an empress, wearing her invisible crown with her chin held high. If Logan’s taste changed, why should she still stick on her white lotus image?

She can play the cards of being a ruthless and conniving empress too.

Wearing an all gold empire line gown with her long golden locks flowing behind her, she looks regal, her eyes will tell you, she’s not an enemy you can handle.

Giving one of her smiles to Logan, while holding his arm firmly confirmed what the people think…she is the bona fide empress of Theavarian.

The media went relentless, this will be a big scoop!

Everyone sneakily captured their pictures, careful not to get caught and be the center of the wrath of Daxon Logan Fergus.

The enigmatic emperor of Theavarian has a concubine!

Celestia felt uneasy as the auction starts, her stomach churned as every second passes by. She felt that everyone is mocking her, gossiping about her.

“Good evening Your Majesties, royals, nobles, and elites, tonight there will be four items to be auctioned…”

“I will go to the powder room,” she excused herself, being the center of unwanted attraction makes her nausea, with one hand in her mouth, she hurriedly ran into the room, vomiting all she had eaten.

Two loud clinking foot-steps can be heard from her behind, she turned with the back of her right hand pressed on her mouth.

It’s Astrid and the woman she’s with.

“B*tch. Don’t tell me you are pregnant wh*re,” Brielle said, her voice sounding calm and dangerous at the same time as she stood tall looking at Celestia.

Astrid froze, she can’t have any child with Logan! Her fist curled into a ball, her mouth remained zipped.

Can she kill an unborn child? But if she let this sl*t give birth to an heir, her position will surely be endangered.

Her eyes glinted with danger, so what if she sacrifice another life?

Celestia removed the remaining spew in her mouth. Her temper is now rising too, the girl has no right to say that to her!

“I’m not, and if I am, why do you care?” she said every word challenging the woman in a black gown.

She went there to release stress and tension, but it seems like it’s always at her tail, chasing her.

She was about to walk out when her arm was grabbed by the menacing woman. Her face would have been red if she had not stopped her mid-air, thanks to her fast reflexes.

“Don’t try me,” she said, gripping the arms of Brielle, hard, her nails almost digging out at the woman’s bronze skin.

“Ah-” Brielle cried when Celestia started to twist her arm, ‘This b*tch!”

‘How can she be f*cking strong?!’

*SLAP*

Her cold hand landed on the lady she loathes. What she had stolen is not enough to compensate with one slap.

Celestia’s head turned sideways, she did not stop the woman although she saw it coming.

It came from Astrid…and she knows, she deserved it.

“Hit me all you want but I won’t leave Logan” she cannot pretend to be a maid anymore, it doesn’t suit her face anyway. She lets go of Brielle’s arm, taking off the small blood from the side of her mouth.

Astrid’s cold gaze landed on Celestia, “Do not test my patience, I can ruin your life, I’m still the empress, don’t get too full of yourself”

If love is the reason why Logan is putting up with Celestia, surely Astrid can remove the love from Logan, what’s the use of the cure anyway?

At their marriage, everything has been shared by the two of them, the drug is given to her as well, many believed that love is not needed in their empire.

This is the first time the empress will have the choice to remove love in their relationship. With the cure at her hand, she can choose whoever she wants to inject it to.

It’s reserved for herself…

But why would she, Astrid Vega inject it to herself?

Don’t make her laugh.

She’s an avid fan of love, her mother after all, is the ex-queen of the love kingdom, A.K.A Thusha.
