The sound of broken glass is earthy in a room without stopping. The Emperor's breath hunted with his hands clenched tightly, until the scratches on his palms spewed blood.
“Dia ... She smiled like that so easily?” The Emperor smiled slashily, tightening his jaw with a trembling body restraining the anger.
“You've long enjoyed your time out there freely. It's time to receive punishment, I won't let you go this time.” Said the Emperor coldly, then turned around to step out of his work room which was now in a mess like a broken ship with broken glass everywhere.
Somewhere else.
A woman holds a cell phone in her ear. Standing silently against the glass wall that shows the city building.
“Kak ... Can I come back?” He asked softly with trembling lips remembering what he had done.
“Not yet. I'm calling you not to call you back, just want to say if Mom misses you so much.”
The woman lowered her head by firmly grasping the end of the nightgown she was wearing. Eagerly wanting her to return now, she had already missed her mother's warm embrace so much.
“A-I miss Mami very much, sis.”
“Hold in a minute. After that, I'll pick you up myself.” The brother tried to persuade his sister. A big problem could happen if his sister returns, because the figure he knew could not just stop before finding the person he was looking for.
“Good, sis. I understand,” cleanly.
“Please be well. Remember, we love you so much here.”
Tut!
The woman's body fell to the cold floor in her room.
“I'm sorry, God. I-I was really not on purpose.”

Adelia ran fast on the sidewalk with a hunting breath. Keep running and smile a little while looking at the florist she works at is close enough.
Adelia sped up, almost at the door of the shop.
However, the unexpected happened. Suddenly a strapping figure in a neat suit stood in front of the flower shop door.
“Awas!” adelia shouted when she could not stop her running.
Bruk!
Suddenly the shop door opened, displaying the figure of a beautiful woman who was the owner of the flower shop.
“August, sis.” Greet Adelia with a faint smile on her lips. Pretty awkward with his current position.
While the figure who was greeted looks surprised to find the position of Adelia who sits on the ground.
“Sorry, made you fall. Does anyone hurt?”
Adelia stared silently at the palm, then slowly looked up at the figure of the owner of the hand outstretched to her.
“Ah, yes. Thank you,” Adelia grabbed that hand without hesitation with a sweet smile on her lips.
Immediately got up from his seat and slightly tidied up his messy appearance without turning his head in the other direction, until not realizing the change in expression of the man behind him.
‘May I smash that hand? Can I break his bones?’ the Inner Emperor asked himself. Disgusted by the hand that Adelia touched.
“Yes, Adelia. How did you fall? Which part hurts?”
Adelia only chuckled softly at the worried question from her boss, then looked back and was shocked as she unintentionally caught a glimpse of the sinister expression of the figure behind her.
The Emperor smiled kindly when he realized that Adelia was looking at him, leaving Adelia confused by what she saw.
‘Maybe I saw it wrong, ' Adelia's mind immediately shook her head and looked back at her superior figure.
“It's okay, Brother. I was in too much of a hurry to accidentally bump into the Master and fall to the ground.” Adelia explained.
The Emperor's forehead shriveled upon hearing the conversation of the two people in front of him.
‘Kakak?’ inner Emperor.
‘It looks like Aunt Zeline and this woman are quite close, ' the Emperor continued inwardly, then smiled as the figure he referred to as Aunt looked at him.
“Oh, Emperor.” Zeline said quite surprised when she realized the existence of the Emperor there.
“Sorry, Auntie didn't realize you were there. What's up?” asked Zeline to approach the Emperor, while Adelia chose to quietly look at the two people.
‘So this sir is an acquaintance of Kak Zeline, yes?’ adelia's mind flinched as her gaze accidentally met the Emperor's eyes.
