The Emperor who loves me dearly - Chapter 90

“You did your part well, ” Esmeralda smiled at Marie, the third wife of King Froilan. Patting one of Marie’s shoulder in the process.

“I only did what you commanded,” she said meekly, the evil stepmother before has now been unveiled. Her black hair matched her porcelain skin, by appearance alone, one would guess that she is a white lotus.

“An obedient person deserves a reward” Esmeralda declared while walking pass by Marie and sitting into one of her luxurious chairs. Her hand on her chin, while looking at the woman whom she hired to lure the heart of Froilan.

It’s been years, yet the fruit of her hard work can only be enjoyed now. Unlike the second queen, Veronica, who is too kind for her liking, Marie is more suited for the task.

Punish Celestia at first, then pretend to be pitiful after having a miscarriage.

When Esmeralda received the news that Celestia went missing four years ago, the same time when the crown prince is nowhere to be found, her guts told her that this is how the prophecy will start. She knew she needed to change Marie’s attitude after Celestia’s escapade, after all, Esmeralda can no longer control what happened before but she can certainly change the future.

“Be kind to Celestia, earn her trust and make sure you can get all the information about her trip”

“B-but I tormented her badly, I even scarred her back”

“Doesn’t matter, use Anna in any way that you can. Remember, if you fail this task, I will get you and your whole family killed”

The line went off.

It was her, Esmeralda Wresea, who is responsible for the death of Veronica and Celestia’s grandfather.

She dirtied her hands for this moment to come. She will never regret sacrificing one of her beloved daughters if the outcome of this is the continuous tranquility of all the four empires.

‘Now my dear daughter, you see what love can do, it is indeed a wonderful thing, however, for you, fate will never go on your side’

She glanced at Astrid who is on the other side of the room, playing with Aiden.

“I will transfer the payments in your bank account. You may go” was what she said to Marie before dismissing her.

“Grandma!” a small squeaky voice called the black-haired woman.

Eden came running towards Marie, the woman grew fond of the twins, actually, ever since she had a good relationship with Celestia, she learned how to love and accept the three of them. It pains her to see how this ends.

She carried Eden on her arms, the four-year-old child although has advance knowledge for her age, still likes to be pampered from time to time.

“Where is mommy?” she asks while looking hopefully at her grandmother. Eden misses Celestia so much even though she just saw her yesterday.

Marie did not respond…rather, she doesn’t know what to say.

“E-er, mommy’s on a vacation”

“Again?? But she’s not responding to my calls” the toddler pouts as she looks at her tablet sadly.

“She will be home soon, don’t worry dearest” Marie reassured the toddler in her arms, kissing her forehead slightly. Unlike Aiden who is oblivious to everything, Eden is more aware of what’s happening, her mother never ceases to message her from time to time. At least twice a day, she would receive something from her mom, whether it says, ‘Good morning sweetie’ or ‘ I love you both, mommy is with daddy, eat your veggies okay?’

But now, it’s already bed-time and Celestia’s still haven’t wished them a good night.

“Why don’t you play with your Aunt Astrid for a while?” Esmeralda suggested, now getting Eden from Marie’s arm.

‘Go now’ she mouthed.

Glancing at the twins for the last time, Marie took a step forward. This is indeed the end. Her mission is now fulfilled.

The next day marks the new era, it will be the change everyone is anticipating for a long time, the launching of the cure.

“The miracle drug or the cure as what most of you know is now available in all drugstores across the Theavarian Empire.”

A pleasing voice of the lady in a corporate attire can be heard and seen all throughout the city of Theavarian empire.  Her face plastered on wide TV screens on every building, smiling while repeatedly discussing the miracle drug. It occupied the insides of the hospitals, offices and even the small households.

“For those in caste one, you have the option to take the cure by having one time-operation. For those in caste two, injections are made available and must be taken once every six months. Lastly, for those in caste number three, four and five, pills were made that should be taken once a week”

“The prices are posted on all the official websites of the Theavarian Empire. Thank you and have a nice day”

The advertisement ended.

The high sunlit clouds drifted across a clear blue sky, it is a beautiful day indeed, very different from the rainy weather yesterday.

This day, Logan Daxon Fergus made thousands of people proud including his father, Conrad.

Finally, his son made the right decision, it seems like giving him the throne at the age of 24 is not a bad choice after all.

Today, love will be completely eradicated in everyone’s system.

“Your Highness, should we still continue finishing the last stage of the reversing drug?” Oliver said on the other line.

The drug that will make him remember everything.

Logan thought for a moment then after while, signaled the maids to continue dressing him up for the event.

The medicine that wipes away one’s memory uses billions of money to create. Every injection is super expensive that the Theavarian Empire only dares to use it in emergency cases especially when it comes to royals or high-ranking officials.

As of now, they have only used it on Logan and Celestia for it’s worth can buy a small island.

“Discontinue the research” he firmly replied.

He need not know who Adam is, for he, Logan Daxon Fergus is already satisfied with what his memory serves him.

What can change if he remembers everything?

The answer is sure, nothing.
