The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 73

“The Blue Belle of Alutia sapphire, so named because of its luminous peacock blue hue and its origins in the gem basket of a cave-in Alutia, has quite the mysterious past–”

The speaker was cut off in his introduction when a scene unfolds right at the center of the event.

BANG

A beautiful woman was pushed and thrown into the floor, the crowd started to chatter.

“Oh no! What happened?”

“The nerve of the concubine!”

“The emperor will be mad for sure”

Their eyes can’t believe that someone dared to hurt the empress physically! Her perfectly curled hair is now a mess as she looks at Celestia with watering eyes.

“I-I’m sorry Celestia,” she said in her soft voice, it was not loud but enough for everyone to hear.

Brielle went running to help her friend.

“I go to the bathroom one second, and you had the guts to do this to Astrid?!” she said, fuming in anger.

The two could win an Oscar for their acting skills, they deserve a slow clap!

Everyone in the room believed that she, Celestia is the cunning one, everyone but Logan.

Celestia just stood there, looking at how pathetic Astrid looks like, her face unmasked of any contempt she held for her. She can no longer empathize to Astrid.

“It’s not my fault that Logan has been less affectionate to you” she retorted, now riding their drama.

Let her be the bad guy!

For once, she fitted the shoes of a mistress. She realized at that moment how she misunderstood her stepmother, Marie.

What if it is her biological mother is the one who harbors ill-intentions?

Her heart clenched at the thought.

The public expressed their big shock by saying “Oooh” in a union, even Dominick went with the crowd, his eyes filled with delight as he orders food to his servant in waiting.

‘This will be fun’

After Astrid recovered herself, she was bombarded by questions. Her guards starting to form a barrier to assist her. Wiping her fake tears, she smiled at the camera with her sad eyes before retaliating to Celestia.

“If only you did not bewitch Logan, he will still be mine” Astrid’s eyes are now flowing with tears she tried to surpass earlier.

‘Bewitch?’ huh, it seems like Astrid has no more good cards to play. Sure she did approach Logan, but her intention that time was to end everything.

Celestia shifted her heels towards her seat, without explaining to anyone. The cameras all over them but she cannot give any d*mn care anymore.

The socialites from different empires and kingdom watched from their seats. Their mouth moved non-stop as they mocked and gossiped, they only need the popcorn to complete the evening.

“Don’t turn your back at us!” Brielle harshly pulled Celestia mustering all her strength to push her down.

“Ahh!” The woman in ruby gasped as she felt pain in her stomach. She fell hard, and with her mermaid dress on the floor, her slit opened and highlighted her pearly white legs.

Everyone stopped breathing mid-air when they saw blood gushing out from the concubine’s legs.

‘Don’t tell me, she really is pregnant?!’

“Woahh! M-medic!” The host immediately requested in panic, all the people inside still can’t comprehend what’s happening.

Brielle began to shake in fear as she saw Logan looking at her in full rage, his eyes cold but deadly as he walks long strides toward his lover who is now lying on the floor half-conscious.

“If anything happens to Celestia, be prepared for a blood bath,” he said, carrying the petite lady in his arms.

At that moment, Brielle and Astrid felt looking at the reaper themselves, the people inside now know, never to cross the line with the lady in Logan’s arm for she is far more important than the empress herself.

If ever Celestia is carrying the future heir of the greatest empire, they can only wish their life to be spared, the two of them will be doomed eternally! Striped with their title and power, they will be in the streets for the rest of their lives!

Astrid’s knees began to wobble, sure she can request to kill an unborn child but not with Logan looking!

“No…” she whispers while Grayson approached her.

It all went wrong! What they planned is to destroy Celestia’s image not to end up at death’s door!

She cried again only this time, with real tears.
