Chapter 5

Sure enough....

"He wants to kill me... " I said to myself as I looked outside.

It feels kind of scary.

To think someone would actually want to kill me after I possess this body.

I looked as I heard a knock.

"Your Highness" A maid said.

I opened the door as I saw a maid smiling at me.

Weird.

"Your Highness, his majesty is calling for you again" The maid smiled

I knew it.

This is troublesome.

"Is it possible for me not to go?" I asked the maid As I pressed my forehead. He's such a trouble.

"No, your Highness" The maid said in response as she continued to smile.

Ughhh, I hate that kind of smile.

"Tell his majesty, that I would be coming" I said with an irritated voice.

Tsk.

I wore my necklace in order to look good. Why do I even have to look good in front of that damn emperor?!

I walked out of my room with an escort knight. As I walked......

"Why do I even have to bump into you of all places?!"

I was surprised. The man's irritated voice. His voice was very familiar.

I trembled as I confirmed.

It's Zenith.

I calmed myself as I told myself I'm going to be okay. I closed my eyes and opened it decisive. I shouldn't run away from a male lead right?

"I wasn't expecting to run into you here, Zenith" I said as I faked a smile.

"Yeah, because you're too dumb" He answered openly.

My escort knight frowned as he held his sword.

"Stop" I said as I stopped him from pointing his sword at Zenith.

"You better watch your mouth" I said as I continued to fake a smile.

"I'm being kind right now" I said as I looked at him with furious eyes trying to hold myself back.

"This is why people look down on you. You're too shameless" Zenith said as he openly looked at me with disgust.

Shame?

"How can they look down on me when I'm above them?" I confidently smiled.

Zenith was surprised by my sudden response.

'Seems like you never expected me to talk back at you' I thought as I laughed.

"Also, Royals never had any shame. You should have at least learned that before stepping in here" I added. As I got satisfied by his reaction I walked past him.

His tremble was very satisfying.

That's what you get, trash.

"Bit*h......" Zenith said as he trembled with anger.

"How dare you talk back at me?!"

...****************...

"Your majesty, I greet you, the great sun of the empire" I said as I offered my greetings.

"I'm very glad to talk to you again, daughter" The emperor smiled.

Glad? Impossible. You must be itching to marry me off to Zenith. Is that why you called for me?

"I heard you ran into Zenith. Was your talk fun?" The emperor asked me as he smiled gently.

"Far from that, your majesty" I said in response.

"I'm glad to hear you had much fun talking with him. So, would you like to hurry up the engagement ceremony-"

"Your majesty, I never mentioned that I had fun. it was the worst conversation ever if I speak truthfully" I said as I looked at the emperor with no expression whatsoever

"Worst? Could you explain it, my daughter?" The emperor asked as he frowned.

I guess he never expected me to outright hate the conversation with "my" dear Zenith.

"Lord Zenith has insulted me, your

majesty. it seems like that person who told you about our conversation didn't add any details" I said as I smiled.

"What?! Is that true?! Call Lord Zenith!" The emperor shouted – enraged.

Call for Zenith? Do as you wish.

Because from here on, I will take very good care of him and dispose him properly.

"That would be great your majesty. As I am itching to punish him myself for insulting the Royalty" I said as I faked a smile.

I'm looking forward for his reaction after this.
