Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 84 - 82- Arc 3

Unfortunately things don't really go as they planned.

The day he was planning to leave the palace that night in secret, the Empress came to visit.

"His Majesty, the Empress keeps making a ruckus outside. She says she wants to see you."

His brows furrowed together into a frown. The Eunuch upon witnessing the Emperor's change in countenance shivered subconsciously.

Just thinking about being in the same space as that bitch, irritated him to the core, but he always had to pretend. At least, his cold face could do the job better.

"Bring her to my study." He said and walked out.

Arriving at the study, he sat down on the chair, "I don't know why she is looking for me now, it better be important." He muttered under his breath as he dismantled his cloak and other accessories he was putting on. He couldn't let her find out that he was leaving the palace.

Taking a book from the shelf, he decided to calm his mind first, else he might say some things he didn't want to say.

He hadn't started reading the first page when the Empress sauntered into his study.

"Greetings to the great Sun, the Emperor." The Empress lowered her body in proper courtesy as she greeted the Emperor.

The servants left, leaving them alone.

"Speak, to what is the late visit for?" Aaron asked, his cold voice holding no hint of warmth.

The Empress bit her lip in distress, she has been trying to repair her relationship with the Emperor since the last incident, where Zosia was poisoned, but to no avail.

The Emperor avoided her like a plague, even now, she has become a joke in the Harem.

An Empress even the Emperor detest to see.

She didn't believe that it was that incident that led to him distancing himself from her.

"Aaron, I brought a meal for you. I am sure you must be tired.

Let's eat, like how we usually eat before. With no distraction." She stepped forward, opening the lunch box she came with.

"Is that why you are here?" His cold voice, washed away her enthusiasm.

"Can't I—"

Her words were cut short by Aaron.

"You can leave. I am busy with more things and can't waste my time on you."

"You! What is going on? You don't even call me by my pet name again. You told me you love me and regardless of how many women you have in the Harem, it would always be me.

But not only did you break your promise but you also forgot me." Amelia said, her voice rising by a few decibels. One could even here the sadness and heartache in her voice. Before she didn't care, since the attention she needs, she could get it from the person she loves, but now she needs something and it's only through the Emperor, it can be fulfilled.

"Are you done? If yes, you can get out. I don't have time for your shenanigans."

"Shenanigans?! Aaron, since when has what I do, become a shenanigan to you? Do you really not love me anymore? Is it because of what happened to Zosia?" She asked with disbelief on her face.

Stepping forward, she walked towards Aaron's side.

Aaron rolled his head and massaged his forehead. He could already feel a headache coming.

"Don't overstep your boundaries, Amelia." His cold voice thundered, pausing Amelia in her steps.

"Amelia, you are more aware of the game you are playing. I don't care and I am more inclined not to bother on behalf of our past relationship.

If you still want to continue, don't blame me for the consequences."

"Game?! Aaron which game? It's because of Zosia right?

She is also my daughter, do you think I am also happy at how she has become."

Aaron stared into Amelia's eyes at those words, feeling guilty, she stopped staring at Aaron and moved her eyes somewhere else.

Aaron chuckled, seeing her body reaction already told him all he needed to know.

"You can get out!" His face returning back to its expressionless manner. It was like the chuckle was nothing more than an illusion.

"Aaron—"

"Don't call me by my name. You have no right to do that."

"You! Fine. About Zosia." Inwardly she was gritting her teeth. She further cemented the idea to continue ignoring Zosia. She feels that once she gives birth to the child in her stomach, Aaron's attention would return back to her, or better yet, kill off Zosia.

If Aaron knew of her thoughts, he would scoff at them and beat them out of her mind.

Why would he care about a bastard's child? And if she dared to touch a hair of Zosia's, she would be dead meat.

"Zosia has already reached the age to start schooling. Other Princes and Princesses are also going to school, it's not good if Zosia doesn't go as well.

She wouldn't be able to make friends nor would she be able to learn well."

"So, that's the main reason you came to me. That's alright, but you seem to forget that my daughter has become disfigured due to the petty games you all play in the harem.

Don't make me lose my temper and get lost while you still can." His temper was already simmering. He could already imagine the kind of rumor that would be generated and how her reputation would be floored to the ground.

"Guards! Send her out." He ordered.

Amelia stood rooted in her stop in shock. This was the first time she had seen Aaron lose his temper, even to the extent of using a Guard to send her out.

Amelia clenched her fist in anger and hatred. "I will leave on my own." She immediately said, the moment the guards held her to drag her away.

Aaron watched as Amelia left. Sitting down on the chair, a despondent sigh left his lips.

When he was still young after his mother's death. Him and his step-brother whose mother was also dead, were assigned to his mother's sister who had entered the Harem.

He didn't really like this sister of his mother, so he entered the battlefield at a young age along with his step-brother.

He could vividly remember the first time he saw Amelia how his heart thundered against his rib cage.

At first he refused to acknowledge it but when they had to stay at Duke Herbert's place for a while, he gradually accepted his love for her and he didn't hide it.

He finally asked her out which she accepted but that happiness was quickly doused, when he was transferred to another battlefield.

He couldn't even say goodbye to her. After winning, it was time to go back home and inherit the throne, he encountered another thorny issue but the worst was that his step-brother became broken and the person he loved was about to get married to his cousin.

Unwilling to lose the love of his life, he fought for her and got married to her despite the voices that disagreed, including the Emperor at that time.

At first, things were going well and he inherited the throne despite the bumps here and there, he was always happy just being with Amelia and felt he could withstand the pressure of not getting concubines.

Unfortunately, that was shattered the day they were sleeping together and she kept calling another man's name. The man was none other than his cousin. The son of his mother's sister.

He didn't believe it and investigated if they still had contact and true to his findings, they did have contact and usually meet on specific days in the temple which he always thought she goes there to relax.

Shaking his head a wry smile surfaced his lips.

He had kept quiet about their affair since then and hadn't planned to do anything because he still loved her, but seeing how she treated Zosia and even steeling her mind to get pregnant with another man's child, claiming it as his, his love slowly turned to disgust.

Now, he didn't even want to be in the same room as her.

She was also the cause of the bad relationship he has with his step-brother.

Unwilling to think more about the past, he stood up and donned the black cloak along with a white mask.

"Keish." He called out in the empty room.

"Master!" A black shadow materialized in the room.

"Prepare the horse for me and investigate what she is Planning." He ordered.

"Yes Master." The voice answered and reappeared a few minutes later.

"The horse has been prepared." The voice announced.

Just like how the shadow materialized that was how it left and so did the Emperor.

Climbing the horse, he turned to the voice again.

"I won't be around for two days, don't let anyone know." Kicking the horse, he immediately led it to the direction he wanted and left, leaving behind only just that order.

Being on the horse and traveling for one day straight, is something someone wouldn't be able to do, but to him, it was easy as that is what most of his youth consisted of.

Arriving back at her courtyard, Amelia smashed a lot of things.

After she felt her anger had subsided, she sent away the maids in the room leaving behind, only her aide.

Slumping on the bed, her thoughts ran around.

"What could the Emperor possibly refer to the games I am playing."

She didn't think the Emperor found out about her and Drew, neither would he still be angry for that incident that occured years ago, so it could only be the incident with Zosia.

"It seems like the Emperor caught unto something." Amelia muttered out loud.

"What could the Emperor possibly find that is bothering you." The old maid says as she massaged the Empress.

"He might know that we instigated Zosia's poisoning. I am still surprised that she is still alive after all of that."

"The Emperor might not know, but he might be angry considering the fact that it was because the child was neglected, especially during this period." The old maid chimed.

Amelia thought about it and felt that the old maid was right. "Hmmm..... You are right."

Thinking about it now, Zosia was the only child between her and Aaron. As for the one she was currently carrying, it is the child between her and the love of her life — Andrew.

Unfortunately, they couldn't be together, because of Aaron, even when he didn't want to have his child, he still forced her. So, how could she be happy with a child from the man she didn't like.

If she successfully gives birth to the child, she would train him to become the successor of the Empire. She would accomplish the dream of her father and her lover at the same time, as well as her dream of being on top, where no one would refute her words.

Thinking about the bright future ahead, she giggled but upon remembering Zosia, she knew she had to remove that thorn as it may ruin their plan along the way.

Andrew was still angry with her for having a child for Aaron and neither was she happy seeing the child either.

"The Emperor refused my request of allowing her go to school as others do." Amelia said.

"We have to find a way. Staying in the palace, she would be protected by the Emperor. Even the petty skirmishes in the palace has died down.

It would be impossible to ruin her name or get her to say bye-bye to this beautiful world." The old maid said, her focus never wavering as she did the massage.

Amelia thought about it and decided to give it a try again tomorrow, she was currently feeling sleepy.

Sending the maid away, she prepared to sleep.
