The important thing was that he loved Miraila and would never leave her.

Artizea knelt down on one knee and bowed to the Emperor.
“May the sun of the empire descend upon its citizens. Artizea, the daughter of Miraila, greets Your Majesty the Emperor. Long live the Emperor.”
“It has been a long time since I last saw you. You have grown up in the blink of an eye.”
Said the Emperor.
He smiled like a snake and looked at Artizea from top to bottom. It was a critical look.
“If you looked like your mother, you would be much more beautiful.”
“I know I’m beautiful.”
Said Miraila. Then, she walked up with soft steps and sat on the Emperor’s thigh, grumbling.
“What can I do? Even her face is ugly, but she’s my daughter, so I have to live with her.”

“Why? Although Tia doesn’t look like you, she has the features of a beautiful woman. If she gains a little weight and her body matures more, she’ll look pretty in no time.”
“She’s already grown up and remains the same. If you say those things, she might actually believe it, honey.”
Speaking lovingly, Miraila caressed his cheek. The Emperor smiled.
“I meant it. Did you think it was a joke too, Tia?”
Artizea looked down politely.
When Artizea was a child, Miraila hated her and beat her because she didn’t look like her.
「”If you were at least a little like me, wouldn’t His Majesty the Emperor have treated you like his own daughter?”」
Artizea truly believed in her words and cried. Even some nights, she dreamed that she had also been born as the Emperor’s daughter, and that she received the love of her parents, just like Lawrence.
But now that she thought about it again, that was foolish.

If she had resembled Miraila, she would no doubt have been dragged into the Emperor’s bedroom as soon as she turned sixteen.
She had been fortunate enough to have a face that didn’t look like her beautiful mother’s.
“I’m glad to hear it. Your Majesty loves my mother and thinks I’m beautiful. What could make me feel more honoured?”
“How old are you?”
“I recently turned 18 years old.”
“You have really grown up. I need to find a suitable husband for you.”
“No, she is just an 18 year old child. What kind of marriage would that be?”
Miraila said bluntly. The Emperor laughed, grabbed Miraila’s wrist and kissed her hand lovingly.
“I know you want your daughter to be by your side forever, but she should be engaged before she turns 20.”

“Mm, but still…”
“I’ll get her a suitable husband. She’s not going to live with her brother forever, right?”
The Emperor smiled.
By suitable husband, he meant not a good marriage for Artizea, but a political marriage that would only help Lawrence.
But Miraila did not understand and grunted with disapproval. Although she was upset, the Emperor still found her cute.
Artizea bowed politely.
Miraila rose angrily, to put on her dress.
She had not put on the dress she had previously decided upon, because she wanted to show her figure to the Emperor.
A beautiful green satin dress, with a sweetheart neckline on her chest and a straight neckline on her back.

At that moment, the servant entered and said politely.
“A visitor has come to see you, Lady Artizea.”
Artizea said hastily.
“Forgive me. I must leave.”
The emperor gestured, giving her permission to leave, and Miraila glanced at her.
Artizea turned around and left the boudoir. The servant followed her and said in a low voice.
“Countess Eunice is now in the foyer making a fuss. She wants to see His Majesty the Emperor.”
“All right, I’ll take care of it.”
“Did you know the Countess Eunice was coming?”

“Yes, I supposed to.”
Artizea hadn’t gathered this information beforehand, she just remembered it.
However, the servant didn’t know, so he said with admiration.
“You’re amazing. Thank you very much.”
“Why do you say that?”
“His Majesty is in a very good mood for the first time in a long time. If the Countess had disturbed him, I’m sure we would all have been harmed.”
“It is natural for me to welcome visitors. Besides, it is not yet known. If I don’t manage to appease the Countess, she’s sure to make a big fuss.”
Having said that, Artizea headed for the foyer.
The sound of Countess Eunice’s screams reached the second floor.

“You mean His Majesty won’t even see me, his own daughter, because of that dirty bitch?”
The butler was nervous and stooped.
Artizea walked down the stairs at a snail’s pace.
“Hello, Countess Eunice. What brings you here…”
*Slap*
Suddenly, the Countess Eunice raised her hand and slapped Artizea hard on the cheek.
