Emperor Valentine could not read their minds but he is already aware of what they are thinking...

Bunch of Scums, take your eyes off my future Empress or I will take it out for you!!!

He secretly gave them a warning glare 'I will kill you if you do not stop fantasizing!'

Most men immediately understood and chose to back away on their own and stared in the sky or on the ground instead but for those shameless fools who did not understand the consequence and did not back off on their own, the secret guards covertly caught and taught them a lesson they would never forget!

Not only the men but also the women stared at her! They gave her different kinds of looks! Some women gave her a look of amazement. Other women gave her a look of admiration but most women gave her a look of intense envy and resentment so he gave these women an evil look of 'Do not look if you cannot accept it! If you try to harm her, you will never see tomorrow!'

Beatrix happily checked and picked all the items that caught her interest. Emperor Valentine said that she could get anything she likes and he will pay for it but Beatrix said that she will pay for it in the future when she has a job and earn a salary. She is very insistent so he agreed but he is adamant not to receive her monetary payment in the future. During the whole duration of their tour outside, she is very busy checking different items and oblivious that her companion is also very busy giving off the dangerous aura and threatening glare to all the waiting predators in the surroundings!

Emperor Valentine is a great and generous tour guide. He paid for all the things that she likes but she did not choose many items, only those things that truly got her interest because she is very serious when she said that she will pay for it in the future after she got a stable job in Solaris Empire. She does not want to always depend on her generous friend, Emperor Valentine! She was able to get ahold of several unusual and interesting items in the market. Overall, their tour was truly a happy and wonderful experience. She plans to do another tour in the capital of Solaris Empire in the future...

Beatrix happily entered her room after they went back from touring outside the palace. She took a bath and dried her hair by herself. She chose to dismiss the servants assigned to her and do the simple tasks by herself. She contentedly smiled as she closed her eyes and entered another strange dream!

This time, she recognized the familiar events as something that happened in her third lifetime. Once again, she was able to see, hear, feel, and experience another look at her past life. She did not know why this is happening but she is curious about what she will see this time so she allowed herself to integrate calmly inside this strange dream that looks so real and feels so real...

After three years of marriage, Emperor Claudius and Empress Alyna were finally blessed by heaven to have offspring. During the night when the Empress is giving birth, the whole palace is experiencing severe fear, panic, and anxiety!

The Emperor is fearful and anxious that something bad will happen to his Empress, he knew that some women were not able to safely give birth and died tragically with the baby. While the Emperor is afraid for his Empress and child's safety, the imperial physicians, midwives, servants, eunuchs, and even imperial guards were more fearful of what is happening outside!

They could see successive lightning, hear very loud and successive thunder, the rain is heavily pouring while the wind is very strong! They are very afraid that the imperial palace might be struck by lightning or blown by a very strong wind at any moment!

Why is this particular strong storm happening when the Empress is giving birth?!! This is truly an inauspicious sign!!!

They secretly thought at that time but how could they tell it to the Emperor's worried and expectant face? So they fearfully and patiently waited for the time and the storm to pass! Finally, the imperial physicians and midwives went out, kneeled, and congratulated the Emperor!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Empress is safe and she gave birth to twin princes... " The head imperial physician seriously reported and fearfully continued: "Unfortunately, one of the princes did not survive..."

The happy face of the Emperor was soon replaced by confusion and then anger!

"What happened?" The Emperor asked, trying to control his emotion.

"We did our best to save the second prince but it was already too late. The second prince was choked to death by the first prince's umbilical cord..." The head physician fearfully explained.
