I waited at the window with the hope that the Emperor will come to me. He was angry at me but still came to see me as I requested. Maybe he was still in love with me.
I must have hurt him badly with my lies. All the women and servants stopped talking. They bowed and waited for his presence. The musicians also stopped. I wondered why they playing at this hour.
Queen Valeria was trying to upset me but I won't fall for her tricks. The Emperor was going to put her in her place now.
He stormed into the harem with an expression that was difficult to describe. His brow arched as he looked at the women who greeted him. From the look of things, he did pay attention to them.
With his hands clasped behind his back, the Emperor called queen Valeria who went right to meet him. He took Heather and went upstairs…not to my room or mother's.
