CHAPTER 13

Every character that is being stated will have a role, no character is for nothing.

The moon banquet was one of the most extraordinary events of the Ambrose empire, the greatest of the warriors were called back from their frontiers, princes and princesses of the palace that were married outside the great Kingdom were invited back to their homeland and the people living inside the Gigantic doors of the royal family too were required to attend the gala without any questions.

The importance of the ceremony was highlighted when the Empress mother of King Alexander could not refuse the occasion too, sitting on a position at the very side but at the same level as the rulers themselves. Her face which might have been once considered as exquisite now appeared wrinkled but the shrewd eyes did not hide the sharp and clutching dominative aura she emitted.

Despite wearing plain gray gown her enchantment and arrogance was unparalleled, elegant yet not tacky.

Prince Baez and his sister Princess Quare were the young blooded siblings of Emperor Alexander and thus were acquiring the position below the emperor and empress on their respective golden stations.

Four Duke's of second rank that were the nephew of the Empress mother were at sitting by the side of the Prince Baez while Countess Jillian and her sister Countess Cinthia were the nieces of Empress mother and accompanied Princess Quare.

"Long live your majesty." The General and his wife were watched with hawk eyes by the imperial family when they curtsied in a prefectural manner. Empress Seycea had a magnanimous smile yet the heart was already not well watching the woman infront of her, her nails digging into her palm left crescent moons on the creamy skin as she tried to control the hatred that was soon engulfing her whole being.

Even though Seycea was unhappy but the features on her face did not positioned with her heart but the others were not such good with their schemes and displayed their pleasures and dislikes respectively.

"You!" Jillian had some doubts, she felt as if the fairy walking was quite recognizable, as if she had seen her somewhere and as soon as Lilith rose her head her doubts were confirmed.

"You are the one that insulted this countess, you dare come infront of me after sprouting such nonsensical words." While Lilith had yet not met Azarios three months ago and just entered the his camp after being captured, she indeed met the two Countess sitting infront of her with haughty expressions.

She remembered them talking about her husband and bickering each other that which one was a better fit for him.

She was

Azarios was hers

"This General's wife indeed had the fortune to meet the Countess in the camp of one's husband near the borders of the Ambrose and Gaerin empire. This one is immensely ashamed to not recognize the virtuous ladyship and thus had the arrogance of treating coldly."

On the borders of Ambrose and Gaerin empire? The sharp gaze of Emperor Alexander and Princess Quare pierced the countess. While the King was extremely displeased by the uncouth behavior of his cousin the princess was enraged because she understood the reasoning behind their actions.

Empress mother had prohibited the Princess to have any contact with the General residence despite Princess Quare wishing to see Commander Seros, her childhood friend yet these two went to the camp....and in what hopes?

To see Seros? because Commander General Azarios was even beyond the imagination, even she as a princess had a liking to the Beast of Ambrose....who wouldn't but after knowing it was impossible because of the invisible swords between the imperial and general residence left her thought but they-

Such impudence!

The princess was glaring daggers at her cousin that competed with her in everything, seems like she has forgotten her place and she was going to remind her soon.

The court was quite astonished by the reply and the maidens smiling at the unfortune of Lilith to fight with the over imposing countess had now a sour face. The beloved niece of the empress mother turned red in face. This countess Jillian was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Miram, Lord Asmus, garrison of the city in far east which was the center of silk trade and traced its lineage back to the forefathers connected to the Emperor Alexander.

Thus both his daughters were cherished and looked after very well in the palace. Whatever their choices and demands were, they were not only fulfilled but also their status was in high regards infront of the Court too and yet this general lady did not bowed down and apologized. Even if she was wrong Countess Jillian was never refuted by anyone.

"Shameless! You dare sprout lies!"

The Emperor himself is unable to show his fangs to the Beast of Ambrose what was the petty Countess counted as in the heart of Azarios, her words of insult to Lilith made the Commander breathe fire, his eyes that were watching the drama unfolding quietly were set ablaze.

"Countess is aware of this General's wife?" The gladiator asked lazily as if the matter was as insignificant as a grain of salt. The crime to disrespect a royal was implication of the entire clan yet the man was nonchalant and simply raised his frosty black irises to the woman.

"Yes, she is the one who threatened me and my sister." Jillian had originally thought to bring Lilith down and thus refused to accept defeat.

"Then where did the ladyship encountered this General's wife?"

The emperor raised his hand and soon silence followed. His eyes could see that the matter was getting heated, his cousin might be a fool but her ignorance can cost him his image.

"This King had heard enough and believes that Countess of Miram is confusing the General lady's behavior and thus does not wants to further continue this discussion. This Emperor is delighted on your arrival." King Alexander did not looked too well himself after onlooking the grandiose of the General mansion and had no patience to deal with others but one look at the gorgeous beauty and his mood which earlier was refreshed plummeted even more.

Such sharp wits along with devastating beauty. To change to views of court in seconds, the one who had long entered into officialdom could clearly see what was done and how were the words twisted.

You have snatched a pearl General. The entire court of men had their expressions changed after hearing the banter, even the Prince Baez who was known for his cold exterior had a glint in his eye.

"Let the feast begin"
