A week after that incident in the garden, an Empress' servant delivered the order for Aster to seek attendance to Empress. Her Majesty Empress Ceci personally summoned him to the Empress chamber, meaning that there was something important that needed to be dealt between Young Lord and Empress.
Aster sneered in his heart. Empress wanted to find him? For what else than helping her equally disgusting sister to took him to bed. But, Aster played along and polished his appearance. He wanted to see what would Empress do to him.
As for that wretched old woman, Aster already contacted Rosalie and obtained particular information.
Empress was desperately trying to cover Lady Merse's unscrupulous act of adultery and her hobby of pouncing young men. Lady Merse was actually quite infamous with this behavior.
