《The Emperor's Rose》Chapter 17// Maybe a Kiss?

Aiko inhaled sharply. "His sister...she's probably a monster." A pause. "Just like the Emperor." She thought, her hands curling.
The Emperor stood up; he grabbed her arm and hooked it with his. His skin was cold while hers was warm. The Emperor then grabbed Aiko's face and dragged her closer to his. Aiko's eyes flashed: his touch irritated her.
The Emperor's eyes gazed over her face. He spoke softly, but his voice was sharp as a razor. "Let me make this clear. For your sake, you will do as I say. You will pretend that we are happily in love. And you will treat me like the Emperor. Do not speak to me boldly and don't do the same with my sister. If not, you will be executed, along with your village." Aiko looked down, fuming.
"Of course, Your Majesty." She hissed, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
The Emperor's eyes gleamed. He turned around, tugging her arm, signaling they had to go.
Aiko's emotions thrummed inside her, pressing against her chest, trying to erupt. Hatred for the Emperor slowly seeped into her heart. Her face was void of emotion, her eyes emotionlessly gliding across the walls.
As they walked down the corridors, the maids and servants bowed down. Soon after the royal couple left, they all stood up, wondering who the mysterious person walking next to the Emperor was. No one had ever seen her before, and no new concubine had been added to the Imperial Harem. Rumors spread like wildfire.
Aiko gripped the Emperor's arm, her eyes landing on a chrysanthemum. It was beautiful, its petals dripping with soft and delicate water droplets. As the Emperor kept advancing, Aiko stopped in her tracts to admire it.
The Emperor felt her arm slip out of his grip and turned around. He found her standing in the middle of corridor, her eyes focusing on the flower. The Emperor slipped closer. "You find that flower interesting?" The Emperor asked. Aiko barely even glanced at him, her mouth shut.

The Emperor's grip tightened on her arm. He slipped closer. "If not even my threats can make you feign happiness, maybe a kiss will do the trick." He murmured. His arms snaked around her waist and pulled her closer. Aiko's eyes froze with fear.
His hands were warm, yet dominant as they pushed Aiko close. The Emperor's cold breath blew on her lips. He leaned in, their lips close to touching.

The Woman In The Palace
Highest rank #1 in Historical He glared at me with irritation. "Come inside!" ...And I did. He pointed to the stack of books on the floor. "Pick them up and arrange them the way they're supposed to."With trembling hands, I did what he asked quickly. Fret in the way I moved, picking up the books into my arms and lap one by one only for them to fall back on the floor over and over. I was a mess, upset, and it was obvious. This wasn't the kind of first meeting I dreamed of.The second prince was mean, and he was irritable. He had no clue who I am which made me resent it even more.He scowled as he watched me made mistakes after mistakes and after a while, he grew frustrated and bent over, picking the books himself."Forgive me, I didn't mean to snarl at you the way I did. I'm not used to being distracted. No one ever walks in my office unless they have my permission. I don't even know how the guardsmen let you in." I wanted to say because unlike you, they recognized who I am. But I kept my mouth shut in fear of aggravating his anger. His voice took a lot gentler tone, I imagined he must've realized how upset I was and felt bad about it.I said nothing.When we're done, I rose up to my feet, couldn't wait to get out of this room. This man was so impolite to me that I couldn't wait to get away from him."I apologize, your highness. I didn't mean to distract you in your private office." I stepped back getting ready to leave when a sliver of sunlight struck highlighting my face. "Wait!" He murmured and I turned back to look at him."You're beautiful." He said breathlessly.I would have blushed, but he was so mean and rude to me that his compliment lost its impact long ago."I need to go," I told him."Wait." A wave of panic rose in the tide of his voice. The prince was afraid to lose me. "What's your name, girl?" He asked quickly. "Jasmine, my name is Jasmine, your highness.""My Jasmine?" He murmured hopeful.
