Aelia could understand the attitude of her two shocked children upon hearing such a question.
Aelia in the past only pursued the emperor and wanted to always be with him, without caring about the fate of her two children.
Aelia explained to Selena and Aether. "In the past I've made mistakes that you two may not be able to forgive. So, I want to fix it and focus on taking care of you both."
Selena nodded in disagreement. "If mom retreats, the queen will put more pressure on us."
Aether doesn't like her mother back as empress, but it's much less like seeing the queen acting out. The emperor was already indifferent to the fate of the empress and her children, evident by Bence's revoked sentence and the mad prince showing off everywhere.
Aelia looked anxiously at her two children. "Mom wants to file for divorce."
"No! Can't!" Selena got up from the chair. "Sir, take care of me, I'll talk to the emperor!"
Aether stood in Selena's way. "What do you want?"
"I just want to make sure, please take care of me." Selena walks past Aether.
Aelia knew Selena from childhood, the boy was very timid and did not dare to talk to the emperor or himself. But now, why did Selena change that much? In fact, he took the initiative himself to meet with the emperor, whereas in the past Aelia was very difficult to invite Selena to join family events.
What made Selena change?
Aelia asked Aether, maybe in the past she did not pay too much attention to children, so did not know the change in attitude of her two children. "Aether"
Aether shook her head helplessly. "Leave it, ma'am. If she's already teased-nothing can change her stance."
Aelia bit her lips not understanding.
Taking time to the emperor's room, Selena accidentally meets her half-brother, Cassia Hansa.
Cassia greeted Selena cheerfully. "Hallo, brother."
Selena glanced at Cassia and walked past her.
The two maids guarding Cassia did not like to see Selena's arrogance.
"Just because of the Empress's son, being so arrogant as that?"
"I think it's better that Princess Cassia has kind and pure nature than a Princess like her."
Selena did not bother to lower her standards to avenge the two maids.
"Name my name, I want to meet the emperor now!" Selena's orders on the two meeting room doormen. "I don't want to wait, if Bence's sentence can be lifted."
The two doorkeepers exchanged glances for a while then one of them entered the room.
The Emperor's forehead creased deeper when he heard Selena wanted to go inside and talk to him. "Can't he wait later?"
Secretary repeated Selena's threat.
The emperor massaged his forehead. "Are my children now all rebels?"
The Emperor can understand Aether who is in a desperate position, Bence is an idiot prince that he must understand but Selena? Selena has a similar personality to Aether but is more aggressive.
The emperor was forced to budge, wanting to know what Selena wanted in the middle of an important meeting, if the boy did something useless - what punishment was appropriate?
Ministers and nobles fell silent when they heard the door open.
Selena entered confidently and gave her greetings to the emperor.
"What do you want?" Ask emperor. "You know we're busy, right?"
Selena circulated a glance around then looked at Duke Aruna. "Just want to report and ask Your Majesty."
The Emperor nodded in disagreement. "Do you want to propose to Duke Aruna? I don't agree.'
"No, I can't possibly make an idiot descendant as my partner." Answer Selena.
Duke Aruna stared furiously at Selena. "Daughter, be careful in speaking. You have to respect the older ones."
"I have to respect you? What about those of you who do not respect the Empress at all? I know what you're doing with the queen in the back, should I reveal it now?"
Duke Aruna was surprised, not expecting Selena to answer like that. "Daughter."
"Emperor, this is my request as the oldest princess of the empire. Currently the Empress was ill and had no internal power within. I don't want the Queen to put pressure on the Empress, to reoccur" Selena said.
"Does the Princess also want to hold the harem?" Ask Emperor.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Selena.
The Emperor had a headache facing Selena. Among her children, who have the same nature as herself is Selena, coupled with the nature of the Empress's ambition to take down opponents. "Selena, have you learned"
"In the empire, the position proper to guard the internal palaces and harems was that of the Empress or Queen. As the Emperor knew, the Empress was currently sick and too disappointed of the Emperor who had never visited at all to file for divorce."
Selena's words were frank, hurtful to the Emperor. The emperor did have another concubine who was not touched, except for one concubine who had a daughter from him.
Selena continued. "While the Queen does not deserve the lead for committing the blunder expressed during the Crown Prince's birthday party."
Duke Aruna frowned in disbelief. "Daughter, just because the Queen made one mistake, it shuts the good out of the other. The allegations have not yet been proven."
"What if I prove it now?" Challenge Selena to Duke Aruna.
The confident Duke Aruna, accepts Selena's challenge. "Of course if there's evidence, I won't argue with it."
Selena sighed then took out the documents from behind her skirt.
The emperor almost hangs to see his son's behavior, he comes down from the throne and touches Selena's hand. "What do you do by opening the skirt?"
Selena's eyes blinked. "Just take out the documents."
The Emperor heaved a sigh of relief while taking the documents in Selena's hands. "What do you want to show me?" Ask and turn the document page.
Selena did not reply, let the Emperor read all alone.
The Emperor read all the contents one by one and then shouted to the Queen's real father. "DUKE ARUNA!"
Duke Aruna was surprised and curious as well, what the contents of the document Selena showed.
"HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?!" Shouting emperor.
"Ha-what kind of things am I doing Your Majesty?" Duke Aruna asked with a pale face.
"You-you have made a mistake with the queen, I will not forgive you for this mistake!" The emperor shouted while closing the document and looked straight at Selena. "Well, if you want it. I leave the matter of the palace to you, Selena. But, still have to report everything to me."
"No problem!" Selena gave a small smile then went to give her greetings and left the meeting room.
The Emperor sat back to the throne and opened the empty documents that Selena brought, there was only one sheet that contained a graffiti of Selena's hands.
I insisted on divorcing my father. If you want to keep the marriage, give the previous motherhood to me. If you want to let mom go, me and Aether are out of the palace.
Ps.
Aether has found evidence of someone's crime, make sure one of Dad's nobles can meet Birendra's duchy compensation.
