YEHO - Part 20

Part 20

“Did you bring Madame?”

His voice was very scary, and that made me shiver. Still Empress was just looking at him.

“Yes. I did, Your Majesty”

“Why.”

“Who knows. Isn’t it right for her to greet the Land Embracing Palace right after she becomes Madame? She even made me call out myself. I was scolding her a little.”

“Who do you think you are?”

I stood up thinking it was too much for him to say even though he is the Emperor.

“Your Majesty.”

“Madame stay still. Don’t say anything. I’ll ask again, Empress. Who do you think you are making my Madame come and go?”

“Even if it’s the Heavenly Purified Palace, she is still a concubine who has to follow the rules. If I can’t even scold her, will the laws even work?”

He raised his sword at the Empress. I got paled and held his arm.

“Your Majesty!”

“Let go.”

“Your Majesty! Don’t do this. Please don’t do this. Her Highness was…”

As soon as I was about to explain, Empress cut my word.

“Even if she is the highest concubine, Empress can’t even hold a stick? You are going too far.”

I didn’t know what she was talking about. My mind went blank. What stick? When did she even punish me?

His face turned pale. His black pearl like eyes blankly stared at me.

“Did Empress punish you?”

“Pardon?”

“I asked you if she punished you.” n-)O𝑣𝞮𝓵𝓑In

“No, it’s not true. Her Highness was…”

“You know her personality better than anyone. Have you seen her making other people in trouble? Therefore don’t believe her.”

“Your Highness, what are you!”

I screamed desperately, and at the same time his eyes were full of murderous look.

“Empress!”

“Your Majesty!”

At the same time she coldly called him.

“This is why place for Madame to stand is disappearing!”

He paused after what she said. She pulled my wrist and made me stand next to her and said.

“I know you treasure her. I know you are willing to do anything. You probably feel desperate because this person doesn’t like anything.”

She continued not giving me a time to get amazed how she was able to read his mind.

“However, why don’t you know those are for you?”

…Still that’s not right. She can’t say that. When I was about to come out to stop her, he moved his sword. I was surprised, and she was a step ahead of me again.

“Why don’t you know that she doesn’t want anything else but you?”

I was shocked and covered my mouth. She didn’t care if I was pale or not she continued talking.

“Don’t act like you only see Madame. Other people have eyes too. Even if you only see Madame, pretend that you don’t see her. You are a smart person. Why don’t you know that? This is why Madame is not coming out of the Heaven Purified Palace. Because you are acting too sensitive. If she goes out one step, it will be a problem if you get mad. That’s why.”

No, I don’t think that’s right… I was about to confront her, but because of her staring, I got intimidated, so I couldn’t say anything.

“She told me she wants to stay with you. She told me she wants to stay long time without any problems. That’s why she doesn’t want anything but only look at Your Majesty. So be little cleverer.”

Empress endlessly scolded Emperor and avoided the sword that was pointing at her.

“I’m too scared by the sword. I need take a walk to calm my heart down.”

Even though, she didn’t look terrified at all. She just took scared maids and went outside. I was left with that door pieces and him in the empty room. I slightly moved.

“Your Majesty, it’s time for your government affair why did you come all the way here? You should go back…”

“Ahh, an excuse that you use a lot. Government Affairs.”

His Majesty put his sword back in and looked at me. His deep eyes made me unconsciously avoid his sight.

“Yes. Just like you said you can’t run away anywhere, so let’s see after the affair.”

End of that word, His Majesty walked out of the room. I was even thinking of asking Empress to hide me.
