" I heard you woke up today "
His voice is so cold and without a single bit of emotion.
" Yes father , I woke up today"
Wait... what do you mean by waking up? Was I sleeping for good?
I saw the emperor twitch at my speech .
' Did I say something wrong' ,
' Did the princess called him majesty perhaps'
" Well , I thought you were going to die this time . But I see you are walking around perfectly fine."
Wait..so I really was sleeping for some kind of reason .
" Now that you are awake visit your brother soon , he was worried for you"
Did he just said BROTHER.
I don't remember the princess having a brother , what is going on here?
" Well , princess?"
" Uh... yes father I understand."
" You may go now"
"Have a good day father"
I left the throne room and returned hastily to my room . I asked for the maid with calm expression to come in and close the door.
I should ask her if I want to know something I think.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Julia , princess."
"Say was I sleeping long"
" Princess you were unconscious for 3 weeks due to poisoning."
poisoning!!!
I can't believe it , when did it happen and how?
Then there's the brother , if the brother wasn't mentioned in the novel does that mean he died before the story begin?
"Julia "
"Yes princess"
"I seem to have lost my memories due to the incident , will you tell me about myself and this empire "
She was shocked , but still answered
" I will help in any way princess , I am your maid after all"
"Good , then tell me the reason and the person behind my poisoning , without leaving anything. "
"Princess , I don't know who'd be the culprit but the reason must be because of your position and temper ."
" Why , what's wrong with my temper ?"
"You have a terrific personality princess ."
WOW , she is honest and bold to some dangerous degree.
" What did I do to earn that reputation?"
"You would punish anyone anywhere you see fit using the methods which will be enjoyable."
I'm truly speechless . I cannot believe it , the princess was this horrible person . But she was the nicest person in the novel. Everything is a mess.
"Ok enough now tell me about my brother"
"Prince Mathew galde istra Schimarine is your blood brother , he is 13 this year and born weak physically. "
I never heard of a brother like this though. And he is younger.
" How's the relationship between brother and father ?"
" The emperor adores him very much ."
Now I know , the emperor has a soft for the weak prince , so later when he died ( he must have as he wasn't mentioned in the story) the emperor might have turned to the princess , his last heir.
Now it's really complicated.
"I really like you , will you keep my amnesia a secret , Julia "
"Are ordering me princess?"
"No I am asking a favor ."
She looked at me for some time and then nodded.
" I will princess"
"Now tell me about my relationship with my brother and father ."
" You and the prince are in a lovely sibling relationship , but the emperor doesn't give you much attention so seem to hate him to the extend where you didn't call him father ."
Now I see why he reacted when I called him father . Well I have to improve the situation. So for now let's meet up with my brother .
"Julia guide me to my dear 'mat' will you ?"
"Yes princess "
We both smiled knowing each other .
