Seo Woo fall to the Emperor's mother feet after Si-me opened the door for her. She began to cry profusely and refused to get up even when empress dowager told her to.
The Empress let her cry until she was finally ready to talk then she asked her to sit down on one of her couch. She looked at her for a while to know if she's done crying and when it seems to her that she is, she asks.
"Why all the tears Woo?
Seo Woo wiped at her eyes. "Your Highness, he really mean it ..he warned me not to ever come near him and it's all because of that girl!. " Seo Woo yelled angrily.
"Which girl?" Royal mother asked confused.
"That girl Irra, Jae Hwa, my personal maid told me of their affairs but I didn't believe her. Today I went to visit him and i saw them together. I saw them mother, I caught her kissing him and I think they've been having this affair for a long while now. She seduced him mother, she seduced the Emperor and now he has rejected me." Seo finished and then broke down in tears.
Empress dowager watch her in disbelieve, to say she's angry is an understatement for she's furious. She'd heard about the rumors but she thought that's what it is ..just rumors but this..
She finds it intolerable.
"Hyun-sik!" The Empress called and immediately Hyun-sik rushed in and bow.
"Get Irra here! If she's with the Emperor ..wait for her to come out before bringing her to me." The Empress said and Hyun-sik bowed once again before rushing out.
Hyun-sik asked around and fortunately for him, Kleila had returned to her quarters. He rushed to Kleila quarters and knocked.
Kleila opened the door. "Hyun-sik, did royal mother asks for me?" She asked because anytime the Empress wants to speak with Kleila, she sends Hyun-sik or one of her other personal guards.
"Yes and right away." Hyun-sik replied. Kleila told him to hold on before rushing inside her room to get her scarf, after she followed.
When they got to the Empress door, Hyun-sik told the Empress that he has Kleila and Kleila asked if she can come in.
It was Si-me who opened the door and Kleila entered, immediately she entered, she bowed to the Empress but Empress dowager begin to yell at her.
"You had the guts to enter the Emperor chambers and not only that, you seduced him! You know he's supposed to be betrothed to Seo Woo and yet you still went and throw yourself at him. You're a disgrace Irra." The Empress said angrily.
Kleila didn't know what to say for she didn't quite understand what was happening and at the left side of where the Empress is sitting, there is Seo Woo crying as if she found out she has a deadly infection which could end her life.
The Empress took Kleila silence wrongly and this made her furious for, although she believed what Seo Woo was saying, she wished Kleila would deny it and then there might be hope that she hadn't seduced her son after all.
"You're a disgrace Irra, how could you sleep with the Emperor! How could you throw yourself at him ..didn't Hyuna taught you better?
You're nothing but a harlot and I can't have no harlot living inside my son's palace!" The Empress yelled and this is when everything starts to make sense to Kleila. Kleila fall on her knees and begin to plead.
"Your Highness, I haven't ..I didn't sleep with the Emperor, he doesn't see me that way, please Empress mother, please don't send me away." Kleila pleads but her replied only made the Empress more furious.
"Is it true that you're the one always going to him. Is it true!? The Empress asked furiously when Kleila didn't answer her the first time..
Kleila begin to cry when the Empress raised her voice at her. She nods her head and at the same time said yes but she said it slowly that you can hardly hear her.
