First four

" 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 .
