Chapter 79 Last Option: Concubine

• “Did I not make myself clear a while ago?” the emperor replied with an icy tone of voice. “I did not summon you yet so just wait.”
• After saying that, he turned his back on her and left. It was more than clear to Emery now that Emperor Claus cannot make her the empress. If that would be the case, then she will not just sit in her room and wait for Lady Serena to succeed in whatever she was planning. Though it was hard to tell if the emperor was actually starting to lose interest in her or not. Either way, Emery will do anything to get his attention. Hence, she decided to go to the quarters of the knights.
• Upon reaching the barracks, she was quite surprised to see all 12 of them gathered in one place. Unlike before, their quarters was booming with noise as they drank and played cards on the round table, which was not there the last time she visited. When Evander noticed her presence, he flashed his ever sunshine smile and waved in her direction. They all greeted her in sync before going about their business while Castor approached her.
