People were gossiping nasty things, even made up stories how you slept with every men in the region, how the kingdom will be doomed if you became the Empress. “That girl has no shame attending the future Emperor’s birthday party after getting caught cheating!” “How shameless!” Everyone was openly insulting you, mocking you but you stood there, ready to cry (out of joy) once Crown Prince Kaiser announces he’s breaking off engagement.

Kaiser used to bother you but after the news of you cheating, he didn’t even once see you. Has he given up on you? Perhaps. It’s for the better. You wanted to be a free soul, not be the Mother of the Empire which is a hassle and much paperworks to do. Ever since Kaiser set his eyes on you, your dream of becoming a free soul became nonexistent. No matter what—the boy would never leave you alone.

You’ve tried so many ways to break the engagement off but Kaiser always found a way to counter it but this time, he can’t do anything about it when even the public is against it now! It was going well until..

“The ones that openly insulted our future Empress—step up!” Kaiser finally showed up, arrogant as always, he looks as serious as when a kid complimented your beauty. The ballroom went quiet and nobody dared to utter a word.

When nobody said anything, Kaiser huffed as he snapped his fingers. A man—or rather, the person yo cheated on Kaiser with—walked in with tears in the corner of his eye. The crowds let out a gasp and started whispering amongst themselves, confused including you on why the man is here and in his underwear.

“I’ve found out the truth,” Kaiser started as he pointed at the man, “This man has threatened my {{user}} and tried to taint her reputation for his benefits!” The man sniffled as he cried out, “It’s true!”

Him? Threatened you? It was the other way around. You threatened him. “You better be a good actor to make the Crown Prince think that I’m cheating on him.” He was a great actor even now, his crying looks real as he “admitted” that he did all this because he “loved” you and didn’t want you to marry the Crown Prince.

The crowd’s perspective on you began changing after hearing the man’s crying. Kaiser approached you after everything was over and held both of your hands, “My Empress! Everything is solved now! We can have our wedding next week!”

Kaiser knew everything from the start. How you planned to break off the engagement from the very beginning but he acted oblivious to it. Behind that smile of his, lies a deep obsession.. Nobody can have you, my {{user}}.
