I had such a long evening. I only wanted to sleep but I was too tired to even do that. I wanted to stay awake. I hadn't opened my bag since I came here. I zipped it open and took out my phone.
I turned it on and to my surprise it turned on. I knew I was not able to contact those in my world. I just played with my phone. I was reading a novel when I finally drifted into sleep.
I woke up and yawned. It's another refreshing morning. I turned to my side and sat up in shock. The Emperor was in my room and on my bed.
"Are you surprised? I have a spare key darling." he said while playing with my phone.
That was what shocked me. This man wasn't my husband yet and he's already being a pervert.
"Give me my mobile." I said to him in annoyance.
He pulled my waist to his body and whispered to my ear "You have a lot of talking to do."
I was not ready to be dominated so I used his technique "After we get married, honey." I whispered and even nibbled his ear. I was ready to let him know that I'm not the only person who can be affected by touch.
I actually used his own words against him.
Flashback.
"Why are you not angry?" I asked confused.
"Were you planning on making me angry?" he countered my question with his.
"Well, psychologically, you're supposed to be angry." I said
"After we get married honey, you'll surely know." he said calmly and dismissed me.
Present.
"Okay, milady" he chuckled and then released me from his grip "The wedding's tomorrow, I hope you find no reason to escape"
'As if', I thought.
He left my room and I sighed in relief. I never knew I was holding my breath.
The maid soon came in. There were five in number. The one in front seems like the head maid.
"Your highness" the head maid bowed and continued,"My name is Du LaLa. I'm the head maid. We're assigned to take care of you."
She introduced the rest of the maid and they helped me wash. I was to meet the Dowager Empress. From what I knew and herad so far, she's not the nice and easy type. They say "the apple doesn't fall far from it's tree". The mother-son duo are alike in character. The only difference is that one is male, the other is female.
I wore a simple ancient gown. Since I came, I haven't been able to wear my clothes and shoes. I've been keeping up with these ancient way of dressing.
I refused the maids to style my hair. I just styled it myself in messy bun. I looked at the mirror and smiled. I've always been pretty no matter what I put on.
I came out of the room and headed to the dining room for breakfast. My parents were already there. I greeted them and they replied positively. I sat where I sat yesterday and we all waited for the Emperor.
He soon appeared and we stood up to greet him. The Dowager Empress has not eaten with us since I came here and I was beginning to wonder why.
"Why is your hair tied this way", the Emperor suddenly said while we were eating disrupting my thoughts.
"Uhm, I chose to do it this way" I said and looked around.
Others didn't mind us as they seemed busy with their meal.
"Okay, wifey" he said and winked. We finished the rest of the meal in silence. I left atfer spending time with my family to meet the Queen Mother.
I walked nervously from the West wing to the East wing where the Dowager Empress stays.
On getting there, I met the Dowager Empress and paid homage. This was the first time i was meeting her. Originally, I would have sat down and drink tea but I was meeting this woman for the first time and she alone holds more that enough power to have my head on a sword.
I still stood in front of her waiting for her respond. When I got tired of standing, she finally asked me to sit.
I sighed in relief. The meeting with the former empress didn't go comfortably as she was asking me sensitive question. To top it all brought the topic of my escapade. I had to answer cautiously.
The day went without any happenings. Just as usual as I met it yesterday. I met with my parents later after dinner and assured them I was going to be okay with the Emperor.
I took my wash and laid on the bed. My wedding dress was already checked and it fits. I was a tough girl and knew exactly when to show myself and when not to.
I sat up to think about myself and my current situation. To calm myself, I thought of the positive side. Being an empress came with a lot of responsibilities and reasoning but enough power and dominance. I asked myself questions but I knew that no matter what I am going to be the empress of this world.
A world where I'm not from. I missed my parents. I'm sure they would have gone crazy from looking for me. And summer camp, well it's sure a good good bye.
I just laid back and slept off knowing I have no power over my present predicament.
