Artificial smile

Ria's eyes lifted.

Peering at the woman who was sitting across her. Those loathing and hatred were seen through her eyes obviously. Seemed like she was not even trying to veil it. Her name was Emilia, the First Princess of the Dinah Empire. She also was not the favored child of the Emperor.

But the spoiled child of her mother, unlike her brother who grew up on his own without guardian's affection. Emilia and her brother never talked to each other. And when they did, it was more likely to be insulting each other. The siblings never showed affection.

Like strangers who had never met. Her brother would avoid Emilia as much as he could. While Emilia always blame her brother. The mother of Emilia and Emilia's brother was no longer alive anymore. She had departed from this world.
