Chapter 88: End Of Friendship
By now, Alexandra was not in the mood to listen to what Luke had to say. She could sense something dark around and all her senses wanted her to leave this place. And thoughts about Tubby occupied her and she wasn’t even listening to Luke.
She never wanted the crown of the Empress, anyway!
"I’ll talk to Tubby first before-" She looked at Luke. "I am leaving, Luke. And I am taking Tubby with me. Whatever he has done, please forgive him for my sake. I will make sure he won’t-"
"You’re leaving?" Luke raised his voice making Alexandra flinch. "I am telling you that I will make you Empress if you let him rot in a jail cell forever, but you want me to let him go? Forgive him? He conspired to kill me, Rose! Did you hear me?" he held her shoulders and shook her.
"He wants me dead to take the throne for himself!"
"I am leaving, Luke," Alexandra repeated and got away from his hold and walked away. "I promised you that I will stand by your side and fight for you to have the throne. I still have doubts about King Ballen’s death and how the Queen died with her child. And I ignored it... I will ignore it. You are the crowned Emperor and I hope you rule with benevolence and may your reign be prosper~"
"You want to leave?" Luke shouted and walked closer to her. "You keep on bringing up the previous King and Queen. Are you insinuating that I had partaken in a conspiracy to murder my sister and brother-in-law along with my nephew? What-? What happened to you, Rose? Is this jealousy? You cannot accept that as an Emperor I will have to have many women and just because you saw me with another woman you’re... " He squinted his eyes.
"I am gracious with you, Rose. You should know that I still think that you will be my Empress although your family is not aristocratic... Rose, what do you want me to do? That guy comes to me and said to proclaim that the Rose Knight is the Drovarys and that the summoned beasts are yours and not mine... Was it his words are yours?" he asked with his jaws clenched. "Is it you who want the throne?"
"If I want the throne, why would I leave? And stop talking nonsense about Tubby!" Alexandra by now got really mad. "It doesn’t matter now, does it? I am telling you we will leave!"
She wasn’t even thinking if Tubby would have asked him that. There is a possibility that he might have. He was telling her to reveal to everyone who she is all the time. He never was happy that she lent off her beasts to Luke.
"Leave..?" Luke’s voice turned sinister and he snorted letting some of his salivae end up on her face.
It pissed her off.
