Book 5: Chapter 6
“Bitch! Whore! She’s fearless with my son over there with her. She dares threaten me?! She’s just a surrogate mother and she dares call herself his mother?!” The empress scrunched up the letter and threw it into the fire. She grabbed her hair angrily. She threw her drawing onto the ground, put her feet onto the table and looked up to the roof to think.
Alice walked in when she heard the sounds. She looked at the empress blankly and asked, “What are you doing, Your Majesty?”
The empress put her feet down, got up in an annoyed way and replied, “Ah, it’s the matter with the elves. The elves are a real annoyance. Unfortunately, my son is with them, so I can’t do anything. That woman rejected my proposal and even sent me a drawing of Lucia and my son. Damn, I’m mad!”
Alice looked at the drawing.
The empress had torn the part with Lucia in it while she kept the prince’s part back very carefully.
Alice smiled and said, “Your Majesty, if you had just annihilated them last time then you wouldn’t have to deal with this annoyance now. It looks like His Majesty is still able to accept you.”
“I agree. But I never thought Luna would be able to help back then.” The empress rubbed her hair and then continued, “Now that woman isn’t even agreeing to my son’s marriage. If he gets married over there, it’s going to be very difficult for him to return. Therefore, we must go through with his wedding here. The problem is that he’s not here now.”
The empress angrily tossed her pen aside, only for the tip of the pen to land on the prince’s drawing on the table. The empress screeched and then leapt over to the table. She looked dismayed and upset as she desperately tried to get rid of the ink. Alice watched the empress hopelessly as she acted completely unbecoming of her status and let out a heavy sigh. She said, “If only the elves were more stubborn and brought an army over to start a war.”
“No, my son wouldn’t be happy. I won’t do anything that would make my son unhappy. It wasn’t easy to get him to call me ‘mom’ and let me approach him. My wish has come true already. If I make him unhappy again then I’m not worthy of being a mother.” The empress thought about it deeply for a while and continued, “Send a letter to Castell saying this: one month later, I shall personally head to the elven imperial capital to discuss my son’s marriage. It looks like that woman won’t accept unless I go.”
