Capítulo 5: chapter 5 : Break the engagement.
"So...why is that?" the emperor inquires.
Crystelle looked straight into the emperor's eyes.
"It's simply because of me, your majesty."
Emperor Albert raised his eyebrow. 'What does Lady Elle mean?'
I don't want to marry him, your majesty. Further, I heard that, other than me, there was another candidate for the "Crown Princess" title. Wasn't Princess Lynda with Bert in the Bert Kingdom? if I were to marry him. I wonder what your majesty will gain from our marriage? That's why I would like to decline this engagement, your majesty. Crystelle stated unequivocally.
The emperor stared at her.
"So what you're saying is that if I make the crown prince marry that princess instead, this empire will gain more political support than when he married you, lady Elle?"
Crystelle nod. "Your Majesty, yes."
Emperor Albert just sighs.
"Don't you want to be the future empress, Lady Elle?" This is a one-in-a-million chance for you to gain more power in the future. Don't you want it? Ask the emperor again.
Crystelle shakes her head. "I want to gain power through my own abilities."It's not by chance, your majesty. Please respect my decision. Crystelle bravely stated.
Crystelle, look at the emperor's face. Such a face full of disappointment with her actions
Hmm...I think now is a good time to start my plan. smirked at Crystelle in her head.
"Your Majesty... since you are so desperate for me to join the royal family... can you hear my thought, your Majesty?"Ask Crystelle with a face full of determination.
Emperor Albert starts to give Crystelle his attention again. He's interested in Crystelle's words.
"You may express your thoughts, lady Elle," he said, eager to find out.
If it continues like this... please give me the first prince, your Majesty.
Emperor Albert was stunned. ' Excuse me?'
Crystelle smiled calmly.
I said, "Please hand me the first prince; I would like to be his fiance, your majesty." "Crystelle," she said again to make sure the emperor heard it clearly.
While the emperor was speechless, Crystelle continued to speak.
"I want to gain power through my own abilities, so if I marry the first prince, I would get a partner who has no influence over the empire, and your majesty can also keep me tied to the royal family."It's a win-win situation for both of us, right? Crystelle smiled and put an innocent face in front of Emperor Albert.
Emperor Albert sighs for the second time.
"Do you know who he is, Lady Elle?" wonders the emperor.
Crystelle smiled again.
I know, your majesty, that he is the son of the late empress Stella, right? I heard he has a power that causes him to be treated like a monster.'" Crystelle, calm down, and explain.
"Even though he's like that, you still want him to be your fiance?" the emperor asks again, puzzled.
If his power makes him get treated like a monster, doesn't that put me in the same boat as him? Look at me, your majesty. I must always wear a glove everywhere I go. If I touch someone, I can predict their future. So, your Majesty, what's the difference between him and me?' Request that Crystelle persuades the Emperor to trust her.
Every time she brought up how troublesome her power was to the emperor, he always got flustered and tried to cheer her up by giving her everything she wanted.
The emperor turned speechless.
"Erm, very well, but what's your reason to choose him, Lady Elle?" Is the crown prince not suitable to be the heir to my throne? "Did you possibly see his future?" inquires the emperor.
Crystelle smiled "He fell into my trap!"
Firstly, sir, it's not like that. I simply want to break his highness, the crown prince's engagement, because if you make him marry the princess of the Bert Kingdom instead, the Ophelia Empire will gain more political power, and we will even be able to take down the Kingdom of Lisa, which is currently under the control of the Bert Kingdom. Second, if you desperately want me tied to the royalty, the crown prince is a no because I want to break the engagement with him. Also, I heard that the fourth prince already had a candidate fiance, so the only one left is the first prince, right? "If you really don't want me to marry him, I'll marry the son of a merchant instead," Crystelle said innocently.
Emperor Albert holds still for a second. It looks like he was considering the results of Crystelle's words.
Sigh. "Hmm...it's not like that, but I will grant this wish; as a result, you must stay in the palace for the entire next week, and I would like you to discuss this matter thoroughly with the first prince."If there is something wrong with him, please break this engagement immediately, Lady Elle,' said the emperor.
' You are free to dismiss. I hope to see you in the future, Lady Elle.
Crystelle got up from her seat with a victory smile.
"Glory to the sun of Ophelia, Your Majesty." Crystelle smiled and quickly walked toward the door.
' Ahh! Finally, it's over! I am so tired already.
but then Crystelle suddenly stopped walking and made the emperor wonder with her sudden action.
"Lady Elle?" inquires the emperor.
Crystelle turns to face the emperor.
"Pardon me, your majesty." but I would like to take a look at your personal garden, may I, your majesty?
Emperor Albert just smiled; he knows he never won with Crystelle. "Very well, you may, Lady Elle."
Crystelle smiles and hurriedly gets out of the emperor's meeting room.
"Look at her, Robert..."To think she was laughing brightly in front of me not a long time ago makes me wonder why she has less of a smile today. After Crystelle had left the room, the Emperor looked at the door.
"Must be hard for her to be "the child of prophecy" at an early age like that," said the emperor toward his personal guard that has served him since he was a child, Sir Robert.
"I wonder too, your majesty," replied Sir Robert.
Gasp!
I can hear it, you know! "Did you forget I can hear you from a long distance, your majesty?" thought Crystelle while walking in the emperor's garden.
"Less of a smile..."Crystelle stopped her walk.
"I wonder if it's true."
