Her hands clenched into a tight fist that the blood that had stopped hardly started to flow again.
Her eyes were so cold and hard that the temperature dropped to several degrees. She could see the worry filling the maids whose eyes were on her.
Especially Lia who was teaching her how to get closer to kids. She took a step forward but Katherine shook her head. She did not want anyone to get into this.
She stared back at the man who was full of delusion.
"Your majesty, I would like to clear a misunderstanding first. I am not vying for your affections anymore as you have told me to and I did not want anything.
I am good with the position of an empress, as you have told me in the past." she replied, holding the last bit of her sanity.
If he tried to take the kids with her just to show her that he was in the power, then she would really snap this time.
"Master, your aura is on the verge of leaking. You used too much power last night. If you used your powers, i.. I will disappear completely." she heard the whisper of the spirit in her ears and her eyes widened.
She stared back at her hands that were under the table and golden dots were covering them. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she was so agitated from him for the past two lives that she forgot how to control herself.
"Ha! Is this one your new trick? You think that I would believe you when you have said the same words when your son was born!" she could see the disgust in his eyes when he said those words and she bit her lips.
She remembered that when rumors had started to spread, she had told him to give his presence once and she would promise that she would never disturb him again and would live her life with her child.
She would not vye for his affection anymore and he had agreed to it but she had still gone to meet her on their anniversaries and his birthdays.
She had thought that even if it was to show the world, they should meet each other on certain occasions but who would have thought that he would think she was trying to gain his affection again.
But she could not refute that she had hopes. I Hope that he will realize how patient and kind she was! How she had taken care of everything perfectly.
How brilliant she was! But whenever she looked at his eyes, they were filled with scorn and disgust as if he was looking at a pest that did not stop to follow him.
"I might have not followed the conditions well at that time. But it was all in the past. I am serious this time." After all, the woman that still had hopes saw your cold figure until you died.
How would she still think that you can change when you did not even once look at her with warmth.
He looked at me as if I was telling him a joke, his piercing gaze trying to dissect me with his eyes. "You wanted my attention again, didn't you, but this is a bad trick, Katherine." I almost felt raged again, if it wasn't for the tinker, i would have flipped out. But I took a deep breath.
Did he seriously think that I would use the emotions of a child to blackmail him? Even in the past when I tried to prove myself. I never used Len or Luci.
Yes, she admits that she had tried to force Luci into so many things and forced him to be perfect. But it was not for gaining his attention but to make him the future emperor.
She wanted to show him that the boy he had taken as worthless had more power than him. But it was all because the mother inside her was hurt, not for the wife who loved him.
I don't even know what he was talking about? I couldn't deny that I did some crazy stuff in the past for his attention, but being suspicious of something I didn't know about is too much.
"Since you are so doubtful, none of my words would be able to satisfy you. Then why are we having this conversation in the first place?"
"Yes, I even want to know why you are controlling the life of my son in the first place." he asked in a cold tone. The man's eyes belied his utter doubt of sincerity behind my words.
His son! I wanted to laugh at that. He had not only discarded me but never spent time with his son too. He had only visited when his body had turned cold and… she closed her eyes as she did not want to dwell in that memory.
She felt guilty at the thought of Lennox's death too. If only she had tried to help him, he might have lived.
"I have already told you I am only doing my duties as the empress, if you have any problem and want to take my powers away then I have already told you the method.
I have failed to understand, What else do you want from me by including all the other matters to our conversation?'' The cold voice surprised him, but she did not stop here.
"Suddenly I am feeling very hungry, your majesty. But my sons are waiting for me at the breakfast table.
So, if you excuse me.." she tried to stand up as she knew it was not going to stop. The man was filled with suspicions and the distrust was rooted too deep.
But she did not care as he was not her aim.
"If that is the case, then i would like to have breakfast with my sons too since i have already missed it because of this conversation."
