The eastern continent imperial palace.
After four days Patrizia finally arrived at the imperial palace of the eastern continent. The four-day journey was exhausting.
"Mother." cried it was heard welcoming the arrival of Patrizia.
Liam, the boy ran over to Patrizia who had just got off his chariot. Jerome walked behind him. Patrizia, Imelda and Samuel saluted Jerome.
Grep
Liam hugged Patrizia tightly. "I miss you, mother."
Patrizia smiled, the girl should return to the show. "Yes, I miss you too."
"Sorry lady, I've told Liam not to call you 'mother' but the kid is so stubborn, he doesn't obey her and keeps calling you 'mother'. I'm sorry if it makes the lady uncomfortable." Jerome said.
"Not what noble, just let Liam call me as he wants, I don't mind."
"Thank you lady." Jerome looked towards Liam. "Liam took mom to her room."
"Yes dad." Liam clasped Patrizia's hand. "Let's mom, I've prepared a very beautiful room for mom, I'll love it."
Liam and Patrizia who carried Ruben went to the room Liam had prepared for him. Four servants and two knights followed them.
"You also rest" said Jerome, looking at Imelda and Samuel.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." said Imelda and Samuel simultaneously.
"Servants help them." Jerome told the palace attendants.
"Your Majesty."
After that Jerome followed Patrizia and Liam.
Palace Room.
"Mom rest, I must be tired."
"Yes, thank you." Patrizia stroked Liam's head gently.
Patrizia laid her body on the bed. The girl looked towards Liam who was sitting next to her.
Ruben, why didn't the boy leave? What does he want, right? Ask Patrizia.
Nothing, he just wants to be with you. Reply Ruben who is also looking for a comfortable position to sleep.
Patrizia closed her eyes and before long the girl had already entered into her dreamland. So too with Reuben. While Liam still continued to stare at Patrizia in silence. A smile continued to be imprinted on his handsome face.
Tok tok tok tok
Jerome went into the room. "Mom's asleep?" tanyakanya.
"Yes dad, I just fell asleep."
"We're out now, let me rest."
"No dad, I want to stay with mom."
"Alright but don't disturb mother's sleep."
"Yes dad."
Jerome also went to resume his work that had been delayed earlier.
...🍃🍃🍃...
Eunghh
The blue iris slowly opened.
"Mom's up?" ask Liam.
Patrizia gasped when she saw Liam was still in the same place before he fell asleep earlier.
"Liam's still here?"
"Yes." Yeah." Liam smiled.
Patrizia smiled this time as the smile was sincere. Honestly Patrizia was very touched by what Liam did, the boy sincerely loved her.
Ruben, I'm gonna change my plans.
Wh why?
I don't want to see him in pain.
He would not feel the slightest pain of Patrizia, he would only fall asleep for a few hours.
But still.
It's Patrizia's best if we change his plan fearing it will endanger him. They could have hurt him in other ways.
Patrizia sighed. Youre right.
...🍃🍃🍃...
Her night.
"Congratulations on your engagement to Grand Duke Oliver, lady."
"Thank you Your Majesty."
Their conversation continued until late at night. After that, Patrizia returned to her room. There was Liam who had fallen asleep very well. Patrizia covers Liam with a blanket and lies down next to Liam and soon the girl falls asleep.
Bend day.
Patrizia and Liam were at the training ground of the knights. They were practicing swords more precisely only Liam who practiced while Patrizia just waiting while sitting casually with a glass of tea and some sweet snacks.
After finishing training the boy immediately approached Patrizia. Patrizia gave Liam a drink and wiped his sweat with a small towel.
"You're so great." praises Patrizia.
"Thank you mother."
Patrizia looked at the sword Jerome had thrust at her. "According to General Edoardo, the lady is a very good fighter. Can I see that greatness, lady?"
Patrizia chuckles. "certain."
They walked to the middle of the big field. Patrizia attacked Jerome.
All the knights were amazed to see the sword ability of the Patrizia as well as the emperor. Patrizia can keep up with Jerome's speed. They continued to attack each other until finally Patrizia found a gap and just immediately the girl attacked Jerome as fast as lightning.
Sret
Patrizia managed to injure Jerome's left arm. Patrizia smiled seeing that.
"I admit my defeat lady. True what General Edoardo said, you're a great fighter."
"Thank you for the Emperor's praise."
...🍃🍃🍃...
It did not feel like it had been two days that Patrizia was in the imperial palace of the eastern continent. Tonight is the night of crown prince Liam's birthday celebration.
Crown Prince Liam's birthday celebration is very lively during the day at the festival for the people. And the highlight of the event was celebrated in the palace at night.
Many imperial and royal officials were present at the event.
The door opened after the bodyguards announced the arrival of the emperor and the crown prince. The emperor and the crown prince walked hand in hand into the hall. They look very handsome and charming.
The show also began. Dance and music opened the show. Patrizia sat alone and Oliver was supposed to accompany him when the man did not attend the event because of a massive rebellion at the border. There were not even representatives coming from the Archon kingdom, because the situation there was really very chaotic.
After the show was over, it was time to present the crown prince a gift. The invited guests took turns giving greetings and gifts to Liam.
Now it's Patrizia's turn to give Liam the prize. The boy smiled broadly at Patrizia.
"Thank you mother. Can I see the prize now?"
"Open up."
Liam's eyes sparkled when he saw the gift and Liam pulled out the sword from the box.
"Do you like it."
"Yes mom, it's so beautiful, I love it. From now on I will train with this sword."
Brucks
Suddenly Liam fell, the boy fainted. Jerome immediately gave the order to the bodyguards to call the cannibals. Liam was brought by Austin the imperial commander to the room to be treated immediately.
Jerome pointed his sword at Patrizia's neck.
"Who is your master?" jerome asked coldly.
"What does noble mean? I didn't do anything."
"If you didn't do anything, why did the crown prince faint?"
"I don't know Your Majesty, I was also shocked to see the crown prince faint."
"Work with me and I'll ease your punishment."
"Punishment? What punishment is Your Majesty? I am not guilty. I didn't do anything."
The atmosphere in the hall that was once full of joy in an instant turned very suffocating. The aura that the Emperor gave off was really very frightening.
Jerome stared hard at Patrizia. "Who is your master?" ask again.
Patrizia was speechless, the girl looked at Jerome confusedly. Why is Jerome so angry? Did that man offend the Patrizia for the crown prince's stupor. Just be right! Why Patrizia should be wrong when she did nothing.
"This Your Majesty"
"You have the courage to hurt my son and accept your punishment."
Sret
Akh
Without further ado Jerome immediately beheaded Patrizia before everyone.
Jerome smirked as he looked at the head of Patrizia lying on the floor of the hall.
