REINCARNATION THIS TIME, THE EVIL EMPRESS WANTS TO BECOME A BUSINESSMAN

TWENTY-THREE

Cassia was indeed born from a concubine, the queen also supported her but she only wanted the emperor's father to see her great self rather than the legitimate child.

What's so great about Selena who's just quiet and doesn't have many friends?"

What's so great about Selena who always says stabbing someone else's heart if her feelings get worse?

Couldn't Selena be a real princess, if she had that kind of trait?

Didn't the Emperor's father love him so much that he became the imperial flower?

"DAD!" cassia Jerme.

The queen standing behind Cassia issued an order to the head of the emperor's guard knight. "I give you the order to stand down and let us in."

The head of the emperor's guard knight smiled. "Your Majesty the Queen, you have indeed long taken over the duties of the Empress. But there is something you need to remember, that even if you replace the Empress's job, still the position of the Empress is higher than you."

The queen shouted furiously. "LACK OF TEACHING!"

Cassia wailed and called her father. "Dad, just one dance. Please, didn't you promise to dance with me?"

The queen and the concubine became furious with the knights who were blocking a child, to meet his biological father.

The queen ordered her knights to fight against the emperor's knights.

The knight belonging to the emperor became unable to focus due to the sudden attack.

Cassia who was still shouting called out to her father, spontaneously ran into the interior of the palace. "Dad!"

Selena, hearing Cassia's wailing, took food for her mother. "Mom, try eating more. Mother just recovered from illness, don't eat too little."

Aether did not want to lose to her sister. The table they sat on was round so that it could reach the person sitting next to it. "Mom, try this too."

Aelia was moved by the care of her children. "Thank you, baby."

Stefano smiled happily, then soon the smile disappeared when Cassia managed to break through the garden party and grabbed Selena's hair until she fell backward.

Stefano who saw that, swiftly drew his flesh blood so as not to fall.

Aelia who was also trying to help the child she was born with difficulty, almost fell and luckily Aether managed to pull her mother back.

"Selena!"

"Mother!"

Stefano and Aether yelled at the same time and the heart was pounding.

"DAUGHTER CASSIA!" Snapped the late queen after Cassia.

Cassia, conscious of her mistake, fell to her knees.

Selena, already in her father's arms and seeing the chaos at the table, accidentally pulls the tablecloth when Cassia grabs her hair, pushing her away and standing still.

"Mom's okay?" Ask Aether to Aelia.

Aelia shook her head helplessly and showed a sad smile then walked towards Selena. "My daughter."

Selena hugged her mother and cried. The birthday party just broke. "I'm sorry mom, I'm a useless kid."

Aelia let out a long sigh and could feel the sadness of her beloved daughter. "Next year, we're celebrating three birthdays."

Other people invited the emperor and attracted attention. But his wife and two children wanted to stay away.

Ironic things that cannot be expressed.

Aether held her starving stomach and saw all the contents on the dining table had fallen. "I'm still hungry."

Aelia pulled Aether's hand. "Mother will cook for you, there are still leftovers in the kitchen of the Empress's palace."

Aether nodded anxiously and then patted his sister on the shoulder. "It's okay, don't cry. Brother was also wrong for having a birthday party at the palace, we should have celebrated a birthday at grandfather's residence."

Selena hugged Aether and cried.

Cassia who was kneeling in fear and not being responded to by the Empress as well as the children, further frightened herself.

Stefano massaged his forehead because of the mess Cassia made. "Why did you come here and make such a useless fuss?"

Cassia became frightened by the aura released by the emperor.

Concubine Ira hugged her son to protect while the Queen walked over to the emperor to appease. But unexpectedly, the queen could not enter into the clear-colored aura that enveloped the emperor, the empress and her two children.

The Queen looked at the Empress' envy. "Your Majesty, please don't make a mess. Princess Cassia's birthday party is planned for a long time, if Selena's daughter is celebrating her birthday - don't you just tell me?"

Selena and Aether are fed up with the queen's words.

Aelia smiled. "Queen, am I too stupid for you? How could an imperial princess who was also guarding the emperor's harem, request a birthday be made one with the concubine's son? Does the Queen want to degrade the Princess?"

The queen's smile disappeared, the empress who was once instantly enraged with just one remark, could now reply to herself calmly.

Stefano sighed and touched the shoulders of his wife and son while Selena stood between the three of them. "Dad's gonna cook for both of you."

Selena shook her head and spoke to her sister. "I don't want to, if he's coming."

Aether is protecting her sister. "Emperor, you can hear yourself, can't you?"

"No, I didn't hear it. I just heard your stomach ring." Refute Stefano.

Aelia pulled her two children away from the emperor. "Come to the Empress's palace and rest there."

"Dad's coming." Stefano calls himself father, not emperor. To narrow down the relationship of the four of them, she did not want to lose her children again, if it could still be given a chance.

"Your Majesty, you better care about Cassia's daughter. Today is his precious birthday and has been prepared far away, a lot of money has been spent for free for his luxury birthday. You can't possibly not come, right?" Ask Aether who still wants to keep her distance. He was still angered by the Emperor's overly cold behavior towards their mother both.

Stefano stared firmly at his son. "I'm the real father of both of you, is there a father who ignores his own biological son?"

There is, and you are doing it now. Inner Aelia while glancing at Cassia who was staring angrily as well as envy Selena who was hugging her brother, the crown prince.

Ira looked at the emperor. "Your Majesty, today is also the birthday of Cassia, your beloved daughter. Don't forget that, Your Majesty."

Stefano pretended not to listen, then ordered one of his retainer nobles. "Watch the concubine and her son to clean up all the mess they made, tomorrow morning I should have seen the garden clean. Don't use the waiter either."

"Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor." The nobility retainers bowed respectfully after receiving orders from the emperor.

Aelia, Aether and Selena could not escape the aura the emperor created to protect the three of them.

After the emperor gave the order, the aura still did not open, but followed the emperor who had already walked first.

Inevitably, Aelia and her two children walked after the emperor.
