Queen Ariadne's Pov.
I could not look up because of fear. My mouth was going to put me in trouble someday but I never knew that it could be today. I felt his steps closer and the gap between us was no more. He held my neck with his left hand and it seemed he wanted to strangle me.
"Say what you just said," the emperor asked, with his hand still on my neck. It was not strong enough to prevent me from talking so I spoke."
"I am your wife. Your slave, subject, and love. I can't stand the fact that you have many wives let alone share you with the other maidens."
"I have the right to choose who comes and goes out of my harem, queen Ariadne. Get used to that" He scoffed. His right hand formed into a fist as if there was a kind of energy that he was trying to control "You will leave according to the rules of the harem. I don't want any form of rebellion on this topic."
