"I have prepared everything. Please enter" She said coldly.
When I entered, the place was still the same. She had lied to me.
"All of you are dismissed" She said to the servants who left.
I spread my arms wide expecting her to remove my robe but instead she walks to her dressing stand and removes her ornaments. She turns back to look at me when she notices that I am still standing.
"What? Are you expecting me to serve you? Over my dead body" She said
"Empress, how long do you wish to keep on behaving like this? Are you not afraid that other concubines might bear a prince before you?" I asked smirking
"I don't care! Listen to me. You can rape me. You can assault me, beat me. But I will never bear your child in my womb. I'd rather die" She said
"You brat!" I said slapping her hard across the face. She falls down hard on her ankle but I don't care. I ignore her.
