Bab 38: A Broken Heart...

*****

Queen Ariadne's POV.

Leaving without the permission of the Emperor was a sign of disrespect, but I didn't care I walked out of him when he asked me that question. A birthday wish was what he was supposed to say, it was not a big deal but he didn't do it. Maybe he feels how it's hurt to be ignored.

By the time I got into the room, Anne was not in. Am sure she went home to take a rest as I told her earlier. This was more frustrating for me, who was I going to explain this pain to. Her heart ached each minute I thought of the Emperor's words. He hurt me without caring about the pain inflicted on me. This wasn't fair, a husband was supposed to be his wife back bone in such situations not the other way around.

I got hold of myself and I promised my legs that I won't stress it today by not going out again. As for my heart, I wasn't in control of it at this moment, the Emperor was. And he hurt it a lot, leaving Awlful cracks.
