It was finally the day before my Empress's birthday.

I packed a lot of things because I knew how long were actually gonna be there and how dreadful that "vacation" will be

I really don't want to go

I don't want to take care or be alone with that son of a bitch

When I arrived at the central palace, I found the son of a bitch standing in front of the carriage.

I won't even bother

I already know what this piece of shit is up to

"Some urgent business came up.Can you go on ahead of me?"

Augh

Pretentious prick

Everyone in the empire knows what you're up to

Who does this filth think he's fooling?

I am so sick of this man

I don't know if I should be impressed or annoyed at how my Empress actually tolerated this scum

Well maybe I can try to make a fuss to push him off

It may not work but It will definitely piss him off

"If it's serious,we can cancel the trip"

"It won't take that long.Go ahead and relax at the villa,and I will join you as soon as I finish"

"You don't have to force yourself to go,your majesty.Its fine if i am to stay at the palace for my birthday.There is no need for this tiresome trip.I can relax here more and I find the company of some people here more pleasing"

What do you think you privileged brat?

I hope you feel my sincerity of not wanting to spend time with you

"The company of others huh?"

I looked up at the asshole and suddenly his expression darkened

Awww

He's pissed off

I guess it must really hurt his ego that his wife doesn't want to spend time with him when he's the one that made the first move

"Don't you feel cooped up at the palace lately?You need some time away from your work to make sure you actually relax.If you stayed at the palace at your birthday,we never know where you might be.You might either be working or even spending time with a certain someone"

I sensed a hint of threat in his voice with what he said

It was as if he had something on me or knew something about me

Does this douchebag actually think I'm up to something?

Why can't he just accept the fact I don't want to spend time or be alone with him?

Is it that hard to accept?

Should I humor his assumptions?

"Who else am I supposed to spend my birthday with in the palace?It's not like I have another person I'd rather be with"I averted my gaze to make it seem like I'm hiding something.

The servants surrounding us were all looking at us but they all bowed their heads when I turned to them

This story is definitely gonna go around

"Is that so?Then there's no need to stay at the palace in your birthday then.You should go ahead and enjoy the villa while you can,Empress"

He was really pissed and he made it really obvious with that annoyed face of his

I then saw Countess Jubel looking at me all panicked, probably paranoid cause im getting in this bastards nerves

That's the point

I sighed

"If you insist,then it can't be helped."

I went towards the carriage and climbed inside

But before the carriage took off...

I looked at him sharply and said...

"It must be hard for the Emperor to keep up with two people at the same time"I said so before I closed the window curtain and the coachman started the carriage but before I closed the curtain,I caught a glimpse of his pathetic face

He's face was shocked and nervous

Did he finally realized this marriage has no salvation?

Who is he to have that regretful look?

That hypocritical and shameless expression knowing he's guilty

Im definitely gonna enjoy reminding and showing him how this relationship has no hope to be repaired

And he will only have himself to blame for it

I'll just have to always remind him of that fact
