Fall of the Emperor (2)

“Crown Princess Raquel, what is the meaning of this?!” The emperor yelled as he stood up from his throne.

Gone was the calm expression, replaced with a glowing eyes filled with rage and a flustered face.

He had definitely not expected this from Raquel, making the scene even sweeter to her.

However, it was not over yet.

She still had to prove her claims before the nobles. If she didn't, her actions would be seen as treason to the empire.

“Close off the house and detain the emperor.” Raquel ordered at nearby guards, ignoring some of the cries from the nobles.

“This is tyranny, your highness! Absolute tyranny!” Duke Quesh shouted, clearly wanting to help his friend.

Raquel grinned sinisterly at the duke. “Calm down, your grace. I will reveal everything in time. Including your involvement.”

Duke Quesh went pale at her words and she knew she had struck the right chord. Other nobles began murmuring to one another, all wanting to know what she was going on about.
