Chapter 201: Change The Perception
"And for me to become an Empress, you should become an Emperor," Rory added and looked at him. "No one can see you as that man’s legacy. He should be forgotten, while you... Everyone should see you as an emperor they respect and fear to cross. Become so influential that you can lift up other people in need, Liam. Become the emperor. And I will be behind you supporting you as you reach that height. And I want to be by your side reigning. I want to be known as your wife--the untouchable."
She had no doubt. Liam will listen to her and do what he asks of her. He might say something negative if he reacts the same way as in the past, but he will listen to her in the end.
That’s how they ended up in the same university considering that he was not interested in getting good grades at first. She wanted him to go with her to the university she liked. And surely, he got the scores for that.
She knew he will become the emperor too, just like she asks of him.
"And if you dare to look at young things with your wandering eye, I’ll pack them in suitcases and throw them in the woods. Or better yet, I’ll pack your junk and feed it to sharks. I can be the only woman by your side. Your empress," she smiled. Her eyes twinkled with expectation and pride.
"Silly fruit," he bopped her nose. "I don’t have to be an emperor for you to become an empress," Liam said.
He was happy beyond words that she asked this of him. The only reason she is asking him of this almost unattainable thing is not out of greed, or pride, but out of the great love, she has for him. Her love goes beyond what his thoughts could reach.
And that manifestation of her love is her wish she expressed right now-- Become the emperor so she can become an empress.
What does she not have to become an empress on her own? Nothing! She has everything. She has brains, she has connections, she has the money... everything she needs, she has.
So why would she want to become an empress only when he becomes an emperor?
