chapter 10

6 months later ----

All those who said being a mother is easy , in my opinion those people should go to hell!. Emerald is the naughtiest baby I have ever met , I mean, I have 4 younger siblings but they were never like this. Alright let me tell you my routine as a mother and an Emperess;

Firstly I get up at six in the morning and breast feed her , later Sally bathes her and Ashtyn and then the three of us have breakfast with me feeding emerald some pudding later I attend my empress classes while Ashtyn goes to the Royal academy . In the evening we change and I put Ashtyn to sleep and then proceeded to take care of emerald all night long some nights I even cry with her and end up sleeping at 4 in the morning and the routine continues . These days my classes have been more intense than usual as Ares isn't home I have to lead the empire effectively.

If not for the fact that Emmie is so clingy I could have attended the classes without her.Let me tell you about the empire of saplin; this empire is a monarchy where there is only one ruler till his death and secondly, the empire is divided onto four duchy that is; the duchy of the north ,south ,east and west .

Victoria is the duchess of the South while Violet the east , the youngest sister of Ares was to be married to the emperor of the neighboring kingdom thirdly the capital was the most prosperous place of the empire it was located at the south where the sea was located boosting trade between neighboring kingdoms and empire.

Today I was invited to a tea party at Victoria's place where she said I was going to meet young mother's so we can share our ideas on how to raise and take care of our kids.

It was my first apparition in an event as the empress of the empire and I was nervous , Sally made it her mission to make me as beautiful as possible and I and Emmie wore matching outfits and as we departed I saw a bunch of knights passing through the gates we continued on our way when my eyes met with the leader of the knights on his white horse as I looked at him our eyes met and time slowed his green eyes met my black one and it made me feel a sense of nostalgia and then we left.

As we arrived the tea party I noticed two women sitting elegantly one holding a baby while another holding two and conversing when they saw me arriving they quickly stood up and bowed to me catching me off gaurd.

As the princess of the fairy kingdom I was never given respect and was always treated badly so seeing high ranking young nobles greeting me a fairy I was stunned.

As I sat down Victoria came and the young noble women also greeted her apart from me who just sat there staring at them . My etiquette teacher told me to never bow or greet someone lower rank than me and the only one who has that position was the emperor.

" Hello young ladies today I conveigned this tea party so as to teach you girls on how to take care of young children" she paused and then continued "firstly I want to introduce my sister in-law and my niece the empress of saplin Dehlia Aster Logan and the first princess Emerald Margaret Logan" she announced

" I am countess Irene Humphrey and this is my daughter Ingrid . The first lady introduced

" And I am countess Zaria Reydan mother to twins Brielle and Tessa "

After this long day with interacting with young nobles who were also struggling with their first kids I felt like someone understood. We promised to meet again and I proposed to hold the next meeting in the palace and even emerald had fun with the other babies to the point where she had fallen asleep.

We returned to the castle and I carefully placed emerald to sleep and then headed out to the dinning hall to have dinner and then Isally came in with two maids which she introduced as the maids she had trained to serve me as she needed to tend to her sick father and would be away for a while.

"Now introduce yourself to her highness" Sally said .

The two maids stepped forward and bowed.

" Your magesty I am Cadence " a blonde haired maid said

" And I am Ila your highness" the brunette shorter girl introduced.

After Sally showed them around we hugged and then she departed . After changing out of those uncomfortable clothes and checking on emerald I climbed on the bed and finally went to bed
