Chapter 85 Step Down

• When Emery woke up, the first thing she did was to face the large window on her far right. Much to her surprise, the room was already dimly lit, with the only source of light being the ethereal glow of the moon, which casts a soft, silver sheen over everything in its path. Feeling the cool air that filtered through the open window brushing against her skin, she shifted on her position to her left. The faint outline of the emperor’s sleeping figure came into sight, making her realize what they had done during the day.
• She bit her lower lip as she wiped away the tear that escaped from her eye. There may be regret lingering around her as it felt like she betrayed her beloved king, she chanted in her mind that this was all for her revenge. This was one of those sacrifices she had to make in order to make things seem flawless until the time she assassinates Lady Serena.
• She then snapped out of her sea of thoughts when Emperor Claus moved, facing her side and muttering her name with his eyes still closed.
