Those beautiful eyes blinked, her hands blocking the dazzling light of her eyes. He smiled, remembering last night. A man who made her comfortable and fell asleep in his arms. He sat up, looking right left. His body was on the bed and found no one. Last night's events made him comfortable and peaceful. "Xavie,"
Divorce, I'll be waiting for you. We'll live together. Believe me, I have loved you so much since I first met you.
Because of you, I'm taking all this. Sneaking into the palace just to see you.
Empress Shopia looked at her hand. It was this hand that held his chest, he could feel his heartbeat.
We believe, in this beat, there's your name.
Empress Shopia shook her head, she could have remembered the man's dreadful words.
"If he were alive, I'd take you away, son. I won't let anyone hurt you. But the truth is I failed, I failed at being a mother."

"Empress."
"Come in" said Empress Shopia listening to the voice of Elma's servant.
"How's the Empress doing?"
Empress Shopia smiled, she was indeed sad, but that did not mean she had to fall into grief. He must rise up and accept everything with a chest.
"The Empress, Duke Luke is waiting for the Empress in the side garden." Said Elma's maid. His eyes did not stop staring at Empress Shopia. He was so impressed with her,
"Help me clean my body. I also want to meet with Dad."
thirty minutes later.
Empress Shopia had finished putting all her body in makeup. Wearing a yellow dress, a light green hat coiled over her head with a white and red rose on her right.
"Come,"
"Dad."
"Empress." Duke Luke saluted.
"Don't be like that Dad, I'm still dad's daughter." Empress Shopia hugged the middle-aged man.
"I'm sorry, son. I can't take good care of you."
Take Empress Shopia out of the palace. I will make her my only Empress.
Emperor Xavier's words made it difficult to sleep. He was worried, if the man really liked his daughter. It's the same as coming out of a crocodile hole into a tiger hole. He had tried to speak carefully, rejecting it subtly. He was afraid that the whole palace would not accept his son. But Emperor Xavier said he would keep his identity a secret first. Make her daughter love her. And Emperor Xavier is also looking for the mastermind behind the murder of his daughter.
"Darling, have you met a mysterious man lately?"
"I mean dad,"
"Dad just asked, maybe you met someone. I'm afraid, someone close to you. Evil intentions, that's what they mean." Duke Luke stuttered.
"There's something I have to tell you. Maybe it has something to do with your murder, too."
"I mean dad?"
Duke Luke took a deep breath. He will tell the origin of Empress Shopia so that she is more careful. In this palace, no one could be trusted after that incident.
"You don't be surprised, I'll tell you a secret. Forgive me, all this we did for your own safety."
Duke Luke told me all, nothing is missed in the least. Until the assassination, but he did not tell the identity of Emperor Xavier.
"So me,"
Duke Luke nodded, "The person you met is Emperor Metteo. We brought you here, besides far away. Emperor Metteo's younger brother won't find you, but since the murder. I'm pretty sure he knows where you are. Therefore, do not trust anyone in this palace. Including people close to you." Duke Luke said with a serious face.
"Don't trust anyone, you mean Duke."
Duke Luke stood up and saluted. He hoped that Emperor Raymond would not listen to everything.
"Tell me what do you mean? Who do you suspect in this palace."
"Whoever His Majesty, including those close to my daughter. Because no one else can be trusted. I'll take my daughter to the Duke's residence. It is no longer what my daughter has to defend from this palace."
"What do you mean, huh?" Emperor Raymond who did not accept.
