Chapter 99 Keeping Her Safe

• Even after that explanation, the emperor could tell that Emery did not believe a single word he said and was looking at him as if he had lost his mind. He heaved a heavy sigh, giving up on trying to convince her about it. He simply grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her.
• “I will return to the capital today and have everything ready so you can come back as soon as possible.” He tightened his embrace as if he never wanted to let her go again. “I will be gone for some time so please, take care of yourself.”
• Emery wanted to tell him for the nth time that she had no plans in returning to the palace, but doing so would only lead them into nothing but another the same argument. Letting him do whatever he wanted to do and say, she just stood there with the strong belief that his words would be nothing but a fleeting promise. As he cupped both of cheeks, he kissed her on the forehead.
