Hurts! Shopia Empress

eps. 14: As a Father

"Baginda, Duke Luke has come." Calls a knight who salutes.

The man of the status of Emperor looked up. "There's something I want to say." Said Emperor Raymond. But his heart was agitated at the uncharacteristically flat look.

"What Sire?"

"This is a report from the Liberin region. There's a mess. I want Duke Luke to finish it."

"Your Majesty."

Duke Luke suppressed his anger. Many times he remembered his daughter's words to calm down. "Is there anything else, Sire?" ask Duke Luke. He could not linger in the same room as Emperor Raymond. How much longer should he be able to hold back his anger?

"Em, how is the Empress? When's he coming home?"

Duke Luke is getting closer. That's what surprised Emperor Raymond, "without him coming home, he'll be fine, Sire."

"I just want the Empress to come home as soon as possible."

Duke Luke's hands clenched, Emperor Raymond's words just blew his anger. "The Queen does not need a palace. I want His Majesty to release my daughter," he said. He can protect his daughter from being physically injured. But not with his mind. His daughter is depressed, his daughter is trying to smile and be patient. "As a father, I want His Majesty to part with my daughter."

"I know, Duke Luke is the father of Empress Shopia, but I can't just let Duke slip away."

"Please, I ask for it carefully. I as a father never wanted his daughter to be sad for what happened to her. I plead as a father, not a Duke."

"Do you understand, what are you saying? Everyone will sneer at her if I divorce her"

.

"Even now my daughter is on the lips. Many nobles say my daughter is no longer dear." For days the words danced in his heart. His ears listened to themselves as the nobles sneered at him.

The two Emperors Raymond pressed down on his desk. Honestly, he was confused, he could not bear to divorce her. But on the other hand, he should be able to for the sake of his lover.

His heart has stopped beating. A husband is supposed to keep a wife, appreciate her even if he doesn't love her, but what? Emperor Raymond did not see the sincerity of his daughter. Emperor Raymond ignored the love of his daughter. Her tears fell without her permission.

"Okay, I waited for that moment. The sooner the better. And don't worry, after the divorce. Neither his Majesty nor the Queen will ever meet. My daughter will not bother you. It will never disturb your happiness." Duke Luke said. He turned and stepped wide.

His heart was very sick, seeing a woman standing in front of him. Her tears welled up, she moved her right hand rubbing both corners of her eyes. "The Queen listened to him,"

Empress Shopia nodded in a smile. "I'd like to talk to Your Majesty, Father." Her soft smile was still engraved on her tiny lips.

As for Emperor Raymond, though his heart did not taste well. But he has to do it because this is the best way. "I also want to talk to the Empress."

Duke Luke closed his eyes. He also went straight away.

As forcefully as possible, Empress Shopia stepped her foot closer to Emperor Raymond. His eyes looked into the eyes of Emperor Raymond. She misses, she misses so much how warm she is.

"Baginda, I'm sorry for my father's stupidity. Please do not punish him."

"No, Duke Luke's right." Emperor Raymond said casually. He believed that what he was doing was right.

"Sorry, I can't be with you."

Empress Shopia breathed her through her mouth. "ti-no, Sire. I get it."

"I don't love you,"

God, his heart is crying. It was that word that was capable of breaking his heart.

"Baginda, from the beginning I realized. We marry without foundation to love each other. We marry only for the sake of mutual benefit. I realized, my presence is meaningless in your heart. I'm not forcing you or telling you to love me. Because I'm afraid, you'll reject it. But you know, Sire, from the beginning I loved you." The tears fell, splitting both cheeks. "But don't worry, my love won't make you lose your beloved. I'm sure your Majesty will be happy. And from this moment on, my Majesty and I will not have any relationship. Even His Majesty will not interfere in my personal affairs nor will I interfere in His affairs. Our relationship is only profitable." Firmly Empress Shopia with flowing tears. This was all he could do, give the fort so that his heart would not hurt too much.
