Chapter 45 - Catching the fish in the net

{|Jeanette View|}♡♡♡

I walked out of the Imperial palace happily with Luther, I'm fianally catching the fish in the net. He helped me to my carriage but before I entered he said, ''Don't worry Rubia, I'll send the letter tomorrow.''

I nodded before entering the carriage, I sat down and the smile was clearly seen in my eyes. I fianally can help Rebecca get rid of this pest, luckily Rebecca told me the location of Sofia's manor so I asked the coachman to follow her directions.

We arrived an hour later since she was outside the capital, I went out and knocked on the gate. The gateman opened it and asked, ''Miss, who are you looking for?''

{|♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢|}

I replied, ''I'm looking for Rebecca'' He nodded and let me inside, I saw Rebecca holding a little baby while reading a book so I called out, ''Rebecca'' She looked up and was shocked to see me.

I held her free hand and said, ''We don't have to play Rubia anymore.'' She widened her eyes, ''Is it what I'm thinking?'' I nodded and she jumped up in excitement.

I looked at Jeanette eyes to check if she was joking, when I didn't find anything I rushed inside handed Tiana to Sofia and packed my things before bidding farewell.

We entered Jenny's carriage and we left for the capital we arrived at her house and waited for the letter.

The next day we saw a letter with Luther's seal, I wore a black dress with white ribbons and left for the Imperial palace with Jenny dressed as Rubia of course on the way we picked up Serina too.

I went to the audience room and said, ''I would like to have an audience with Crown prince Luther and His Majesty the Emperor.''

The Knight nodded and went inside, soon after he came out and opened the door for me. I walked in with my hands clasped with evidence visible in it.

''Greetings to the Sun and future Sun of our Empire.'' I greeted, ''°What brings you here my dear?'' Emperor Collisto asked. ''Your highness I will like to anuil my engagement with Crown prince Luther.''

There was a gasped heard around, Emperor Callisto looked shocked. ''What happened that you want to anuil your engagement with my son?'' I replied, ''Your Majesty, The Crown prince is cheating on me with two women.''

Luther's eyes were filled with nervousness, ''What evidence do you have?'' Emperor Callisto asked, I gestured to a servant and said, ''Hand this letter to his Majesty.''

After the letter was handed over I continued, ''Your Majesty, this letter was written by his highness Luther asking for lady Rubia's hand in marriage and sealed with his seal.''

This time Luther spoke up, ''How do you know?, this letter could be forged with my seal.'' He said shakily. I nodded, ''I knew he would say that so I brought witnesses.''

''Lady Rubia, Lady Serina please come forward.''

The door opened and Rubia/Jenny with Serina walked in, this time Luther panicked. ''Your Majesty'' They greeted, ''Your Majesty, my name is Rubia from the house of Barcelona and his highness Crown prince Luther asked me for my hand in marriage.''

Serina spoke up too, ''Your Majesty, may name is Serina from house of Avalon I was his highness secret lover when he was still with Lady Rebecca. He promised me the seat of Empress ones he becomes Emperor.''

Emperor Collisto looked angrily at Luther and said, ''Is the accusations pressed against you true?'' Luther shook his head, ''I don't know these girls apart from Rebecca.''

Then he looked at me, ''Why are you doing this too me, you know I love you with all my heart.'' I shook my head, ''Your Majesty, please call forth Servant Winter.''

Emperor Callisto nodded and in a few minutes a black haired servant walked in, ''Your Majesty, This servant greets you.'' Emperor Callisto nodded at the greeting, ''Is it true that you saw Crown prince Luther with these people?''

Winter looked at me then nodded, Luther shouted, ''No father, there slandering me.'' Emperor Callisto shouted his face red with anger, ''Shut up, Luther your not longer the Crown prince and your engagement with Rebecca is null.''
