Evelina is taking a shower in absorbing a bathtub. She socked herself in the warm water to erase the pain and numbness.
Jordan's behavior was weird.Now she's regretting that she shouldn't have play with his emotions that time. She can notice a huge difference in Jordan's changing personality or characteristics.
Why she agreed to marry him that time. Oh!! She can't think anymore. Her innocent Prince become an intelligent Emperor now but loose all his innosence. If it's continued , how would he rules the nation. A curel Emperor isn't suitable for common people's welfare. Things can turned more complicated. She had to solve this matter as soon as possible...
While thinking about a couple of solutions.....
Evelina got down from the tub and changed into beautiful dress. She actually can't deny her responsibility towards jordan. After all ,everything caused by her. And after witnessing his strange behaviour, she's feeling as if she's responsible for his current condition. Because of her foolishness in the past, she threw the dynasty's future in a risk.

Evelina is getting bored staying in the chamber whole day. So she decided to have a walk around the palace.
She looked outside... everywhere was surrounded by heavy gaurds.
"Oh this stupid boy.....he thinks that he can stop me by this.... I'm staying here because it's my will..... I can easily go wherever I want to.. " Evelina said arrogantly.
.
She stepped outside the door and saw Federico there.
"Good afternoon, my new Empress."
"Oh it's already afternoon."Evelina look at the sky.
" I'm here to serve you. Tell me anything you need." Federico said.
"I don't want to talk with you. You caused everything. Where's Andreas?"
"Everyone is busy in the court."
"Well .... I wanna have a walk outside."
"Why not. Let me accompany you." Federico started walking with her
Evelina said nothing and begun walking.
"So what's going on with the court?" Evelina asked.
"You know that the whole ocean area is under our rule. Now we're planning to get victory over some distance kingdoms that is still independent. "
"That means a war will started soon?"
"Not actually. We will try to suppress them peacefully. If any of the kingdoms didn't surrender then we'll declared war against them."
"Yeah...any way ours is a powerful cavalry. But I guess a lot of individual wars will be started in this way." Evelina noded.
"You're right but we're prepared. We have our separate army for these types of situation. Besides the Emperor is quite intellectual in these sectors. Wars aren't a big deal"
Evelina stopped walking and turned around.
"I wanna visit the 2nd Empress Pavilion."
"Okay then let's go"

2nd Empress's Pavilion:.

Martha is sitting with other Empresses in her Pavilion's garden. Evelina entered with Federico.
"Hay Martha, what's going on?"
"Oh Evelina please have a seat." Martha smiled.
Evelina sat on a couch and Federico stood behind her.
"Evelina look, I'm really sorry about last night. I didn't know that soup was mixing with....." Martha said in a nervous voice.
"No, it's not your fault. Don't feel guilty." Evelina smiled and looked at Amanda.
"What are you two talking about. I didn't understand."Amanda asked.
"Hay , Amanda..... it's been a long time." Evelina said ignoring her asking.
"Yeah but what soup....??"
" That's none of your business...Tell me, how have you been.....?" Evelina changed the topic.
"Yeah.... I'm fine.....but.....I hope you're alright with this new environment. I mean you used to live in ships. And now in the palace.....a soldier is trying to hold jewelleries instead of swords..." Amanda gave a peculiar smile.
"Yeah...all thanks to you . I got caught because of you that time. Now everything turns up like this." Evelina said annoyingly.
"So how's the last night....i heard the Emperor spent the night with you... You must have enjoyed." Amanda asked out of caution.
" Yeah... I've enjoyed. Jordan is good at bed.But it's a pity that you can't get this types of nights from him. Your bad luck." Evelina annoyingly shifted her gaze from Amanda.
"Hay Martha !! Where's Prince Daniel? Actually I'm here to see him.... I want to spend some times with him." Evelina looked at Martha
"So sorry but he went outside with the Vice Regent. He'll come back at the evening after groaming. I'll send him to meet you sometimes."
"Oh ..then I'll take my leave." Evelina stood up.
Actually she was here to meet with the little prince. As he's not here, she left the Pavilion.

Evelina is walking through the garden beside the Royal Court.
Suddenly she stopped walking. Andreas and Jordan is discussing something in front of the Court's gate. She saw them from far distance.
Jordan is looking at her through his sharp and deep eyes while talking with Andreas in between. It's so uncomfortable. Jordan is staring at Evelina as if he'll ate her up with these eyes. What an absurd look. She can't bear his gaze. It's felt so strange.
"Federico, let's get back to the Manor. I'm tired." Evelina walked hurriedly on the next moment so that she could avoid them.
Jordan saw her going back but said nothing. His sharp and shining eyes turned dull and gloomy , seeing Evelina avoiding him
"My Lord today's court adjured already. Why don't we leave. Everyone already left. " Andreas said.
"Oh...where to leave... Evelina don't want to see my face. She still hate me even more."Jordan shoot.
"I've told you earlier. You should have waited a few more days.But you and Federico didn't listen to me. Now she bocome more furious... You should have controlled you emotions."
"Then why did you helped last night." Jordan said.
".. it's because you said that you just wanna sleep in the same room with her. Who knows you'll do something else. ..."Andreas lowered his head.
"Come on.... I've got her after this long. What else you expect from me...Let's get back." Jordan Begun to walk.
"Yeah... let's find out a way of impressing her. Anyway we've mess everything already." Andreas smiled.

Emperor's Royal Manor:
----------------------------------------
Evelina standing on the corridor. It's almost night. She's watching over the half moon.
Jordan took a deep breath and entered in to the chamber. He's sacred of facing Evelina after all of his doing. But he can't just stay away like this. So he came to reassemble all the mess.
Evelina heard his foot steps and shouted loudly,
"Stop right there....why are you here again."
"It's my chamber. Where should I go?" Jordan said.
"I don't know if you don't wanna get out , I'm leaving the chamber." Evelina walked towards the door.
But Jordan wrapped her.
" I'm sorry Eve. I swear I won't touch you in the future like this. Forgive me" Jordan asked for apology.
" Then why you're touching me now. Let go off me....you stupid...."
" Ops, I'm sorry. " He promptly released Evelina.
" Now go away.... Or else I'm going somewhere else."
"Hay, wait .... okay, I'm going. You stay here alone but don't go anywhere." Jordan agreed without his will.
"One request , please at least eat something.I'm sorry for last night , I won't do such a thing again. Don't hurt yourself because of me" Jordan lowered his head.
Some servants came inside and served some food on the table.
Jordan was about to leave but Evelina stopped him.
"If you want me to eat these food, then inspect this food for me." Evelina said.
"What do you mean?" Jordan looked back.
"Have a bite from every dishes or even check the water as well.Who knows what you've mix with this food now. I've never imagined you'll play this types of dirty tricks with me...." Evelina smiled roughly.
"You're so stubborn." Jordan sat beside the table and grabbed a spoon.
Then he ate from every dishes.
After a while he drank some water and picked a piece of handkerchief to swipe off his lips.
"Now you can eat."Jordan asked.
"And you can leave."
Jordan left the chamber without saying anything. He doesn't want to stretch the things. Already he have done a great sin. He should give her some space to calm her anger.
So he went back to his old Manor where he used to live before becoming the Emperor, with a worry about the uncertainty of their up coming relationship.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_--__-_-_-
.

Andreas got the information that Jordan got out from his Manor. But where has he gone to!!
He started searching everywhere.
The servants inform him that Jordan went to his previous residence.
So he went there immediately.
.
.
.
Prince's Manor:.
---------------------------
Andreas rushed towards the Manor. He entered the chamber and as expected Jordan is sitting on the floor.
Andreas looked around... everything is broken. Jordan has broken everything .
"Oh my Lord, you scared me." Andreas walked closer to him.
Jordan looked at him with his red eyes.
"Oh no....not again. YOU'RE CRYING... What happened now..... Didn't you got what you've wanted...." Andreas sat on the floor beside Jordan.
" She still hates me. She even kick me out if the chamber. She doesn't want to see my face.... .." jordan explained while crying.
"Get back to your senses. It's obvious for her to get angry. It's a matter of time. Everything will be alright soon. Please don't be sad. Didn't you said it yourself." Andreas shouted .
" But I don't have any patience left now.When will she love me. I can't wait anymore. I'm getting sick of her hatred. Though it was me who ruined everything. But her rudeness is hurting me so much." Jordan growled.
"Trust me. She actually love you. She's just hiding it. She'll confess to you .. Until ill then, have some patience my Lord."
" You're a lier.... She doesn't love me..." Jordan cried out more loudly.
" Oh...of course she loves you. Tell me one thing.... You've done so many terrible crimes OR EVEN KILLED SAMUEL .... As far as I know Evelina, If someone else have done all these what you've done, she would have killed him. But she gave you nothing but some minor punishments."
" .... " Jordan speechlessly looked at Andreas.
" That means she loves you undoubtedly." Andreas smiled.
" Really..." Jordan lay on his laps as he got tired.
"Yeah..... Besides we're here to help you. She'll accept you within a few days.....So don't cry like a kid. You've grown up now....."
" You're right..... I can't loose hope so swiftly... Now she's here with me. In my Palace. I'll win her heart soon." Jordan swiped his tears but couldn't stop it's flowing....
Eventually he fell asleep on the lap of Andreas. Andreas kept running his fingers gently on Jordan's hair and blew out the candles.
He stayed awaken the rest of the night.
He'll gaurd Jordan the whole night.
All these years Andreas got used to Jordan's this type of behavior. He can't even count how many nights Jordan spent crying.
Poor unfortunate boy. His hardwork showed it's results but the results wasn't satisfying. Though he got Evelina but still he have to longing for her love or affection.
Andreas witnessed Jordan's every sufferings all these years. After Evelina's departure, the ex Emperor locked him in this Manor with a Royal order of torturing him every month.
Jordan lost all his interest towards life. He started spending his days in the darkness. But when he tried to suicide, Andreas couldn't find any way but giving him the hope of achieving Evelina again. Though he leaded Jordan towards a wrong way. But it was the only way of making him returning back to life.
Jordan started leading a normal life again. He made himself perfect from every angle and a worthy candidate of the throne and endured all the tortures silently. Those tortures strengthened him day by day instead of breaking his spirit.
Only the throne could help him gaining Evelina again. So it was necessary to being a complete Crown Prince.
Jordan learned every type of book or fighting skills. Or even enrich himself with a vast knowledge. But the most difficult thing was to convince him to have a child with Martha. Because no one would accept an Emperor without a descendent.
Andreas remembered that night Jordan also cried like tonight.
Federico and he tried to convince jordan the whole night. But he refused Everytime. It was hard to convince him.
But after forcing numerous times , Jordan had to agree to have sex with Martha for the sake of gaining Evelina.
From that night, Jordan started spending his every night crying like this. And Andreas started gaurding him.
Jordan never thought he have to share his first time with another girl. But after all these , his struggles haven't decreased a little.
Still he's fighting for his goal.....
Andreas took a deep breath while thinking the past incidents. Then he looked at Jordan's sleeping face.
Though he blew out the candles but the moonlight still falling on Jordan's face. So Andreas moved his head and makes a shadow of him to cover Jordan's face as a shield against the light....
