Chapter 144: The Question and The Chaos...
"Who are you really? Or what are you?" The emperor asked her and Acantha looked at him.
"What am I? I am me?" Acantha said as she raised her brows at the emperor.
"That’s not what I meant," He said as he sighed while looking at her.
Acantha sighed as she knew what he meant by asking her who she was, but she won’t answer it as she knew that, just like his wife, he won’t believe her.
"I am who I am, Your Majesty." Acantha answered him and the emperor looked at her like he was trying to read her soul.
"I know who you are, but what I really want to know is what you are and who you really are," The emperor said as he looked at her.
"I know that you were also the one who was behind the duke’s resurrection." He continued as he frowned at her.
"We received some letters here saying that the duke was dead, and then weeks passed and he was alive again?" he said as he started walking back and forth around the room again, while his hand was on his chin.
"It’s better for you not to know it, Your Majesty," Acantha said as she stared at the emperor coldly.
"And why is it better for me not to know? I am the emperor and I have the right to know everything that was happening in my empire," He said as he even raised his brows at her.
"The less you know, the less you put yourself in danger," Acantha said as she looked at him straight in his eyes.
