Lady Juhian-
Remember Prime Minister Zhan's daughter Cecelia? Lady Juhian was the one that helped Lilith in exposing Cecelia and wished for Lilith to be her master. In case you still not remember read the chapter- 'You will die for me 2'
"Lady! Lady Juhian as you said, Emperor Alexander's whereabouts are unknown and Prince Baez is soon going to be crowned. Now that such circumstances have arisen, what must be done?"
Lady Juhian was the daughter of the second highest official in the Ministry of War and had great ambitions to enter harem of Emperor Alexander, earlier she even sent out invitations to General lady Lilith to pull her to her side yet was always given a cold shoulder. General Lady Lilith did not wish to have any association with her and that thought in itself was disgusting and absurd.
When she will become an honorable consort she won't go easy on her yet who would have imagined that General Azarios would be banished before that and Emperor Alexander would succumb to rebellious forces led by his own brother.
"Emperor Alexander or Prince Baez, it never mattered to this one in the first place and one does not care for mere emotions, go tell my father that this one would visit him in the afternoon to have tea. At that time this one shall ask father to enter the imperial harem." Lady Juhian wasn't the only one that had such ambitions, countless ladies from prestigious families would now enter the emperor's inner chambers and fight with their power, influence and clans at the back.
Emperor Alexander had placed Empress Seycea in a place of honor yet now there was no such place, no concubines, consorts or empress. The opportunities were innumerable, so one hand where it was a moment of change for the aristocratic class, the royals were fighting amongst themselves.
Empress Mother Feyore who saw such cold indifference in the nobility regarding her eldest son could not help but resent herself, it was her that replaced Emperor Heun's people with her own at all the levels except some like Duke Selic whose power she could not diminish and they themselves withdrew from the imperial court.
Now that Princess Quare controlled her movements Empress mother Feyore could not even have independence in moving across the imperial palace at her own will, thus she carefully with the help of her old headmaid sneaked to the underground dungeon in which Alexander was kept.
Amber-colored glimmer shone on the dark walls of the captivity as fire torches illuminated the path, a soldier guided the empress mother to the cell in which her son was now locked.
"Alexander!" Agonizing deep azure irises shone in dark as of a beast when he heard the voice that melted into his ears like molten iron. His throne, power, women and empire were snatched away and what did his mother do? She sat and watch the chaos unfolding......maybe not just watched but also contributed in his fall.
"M-Mother Empress....is that you mother?" When such gentle words with anguish and remorse were used Empress mother Feyore could not help but ask the guard to leave them alone and went closer to the bars watching her son with tearful eyes.
"Mother has been wrong Alexander, one did not know that Baez had such rebellious thoughts if one had known then all this would have not happened......A-Alexander-?" The previous monarch smiled a little as she was looked at with eyes having abhorrence.
"Mother had not known Baez's deep and disturbing tendencies? When one was the emperor, one was blinded with greed and my judgement was clouded yet now looking back all those years ago.....mother has always been a woman of loose character and had never paid attention to anything other than her own ambition."
"Impudent!"
"This one knows that Imperial father had a woman that he loved, after investigating a lot and trying to find the reason why mother framed Her highness Saintess Helixis for imperial father's death, one was informed that it was her majesty Saintess that had been in Imperial father's heart since the beginning.
It was mother that swirled poison in her children's life against imperial father and at last, it was you that had no comparison with her majesty saintess. All mother did her entire life was live lavishly without a single talent. In contrast to you her highness Saintess is the goddess of all mortal realm, has the holy kingdom of Grevian serving her and above all has such magnificence that mother looks completely ugly!
If it was this son that had to choose this one would have put you to death long ago! Imperial father was too kind to let you and your youngest son live!"
Blood was thicker than water, yet sometimes even blood had no meaning.
Helixis was the biggest defeat Feyore had suffered her entire life, she could eliminate countless women of beauty yet how come she possess the courage to touch the woman that wiped out the entire royal family of Grevian.
From a slave to a priestess and later to a concubine.....Helixis had risen up the ranks one by one till she had subdued the King of Grevian with her own two hands and wiped out their each and every single memory from the history.
Now when Empress mother Feyore was told such brutal words there was a ruthlessness that appeared to have reflected in those eyes.
"Foolish son! If this one is so unseemingly to you then this one shall free you from all worldly affairs of mortals. Rot here in this hell!" Yet before she could leave, a sharp dagger was swiftly pushed into her chest as her eyes widened.
Sprinkles of blood fell onto the clothes Alexander was wearing as Feyore could not remove her eyes away from his even as she vomited blood. Creepy irises stared at his even when the soul left her body.
This was the justice of the goddess, to be killed under the blade of those that you trusted the most, to die with such disgrace the even your soul would not be free and venture thousands of years haunting the deep depths.
The person Feyore conspired for was also the person that killed her at the end.
