Chapter 82 - The Emperor is Missing (2/2)

Hopefully...

She never thought of becoming one, she wishes to live with the man she will fall in love with. She's a hopeless romantic but never in her wildest dreams that she would end up here, at Theavarin Empire fighting for the position of the empress although there's already one.

She never thought that this day would come, when she will be willing to give everything for love. Indeed, she is the princess of Thusha, the love Kingdom.

'One...'

'Two...'

'Three...'

'Let's go Celestia' she cheered herself, now on her full composture.

As she steps down the car, the reporters bombarded her with questions.

"Are you the concubine of the emperor?"

"What is your relationship with His Majesty?"

"Where are you from?"

"Do you believe in love?"

"What is your stand regarding the cure the emperor developed? Are you anti or pro?"

These questions were repeatedly asked by the eager reporters but Celestia only waved and smiled at them.

'What cure?'

She has no clue on what the reporters are talking about. Time seems to fly speedily when she's with Logan and watching news seldom entered her mind since she saw Logan from it. That's the last news she saw... and remembering the headline, it pertains to some sort of cure.

But a cure for what?

She sighed and tried to stop thinking about it, this is an important day, everything must go right.

"THE EMPEROR IS MISSING!" a loud voice boomed throughout the hallway and it seems like whoever he is, he is also shouting at the guest outside. And for a moment, everyone stopped moving.

"FIND THE EMPEROR RIGHT NOW!" now, it is the turn of the head of the guards to shout, he will surely receive a great punishment for being lenient! Just a while ago, the empress, Astrid Vega entered the chambers of the emperor, how come there are no traces of them found inside?!

Everyone began to panic and gossip loudly. This can't be...

Celestia's heart sank upon the news.

'This is not true!' This is not how it is supposed to be, what happened?

"Keep your promise Logan"

Your promise to protect us, the kids and me.

Keep your promise, Logan, to love me all your life.

"Keep your promise to never leave me again"

Her heart went rampant and unsettling, she's not having a good feeling on how this evening will end.

Clutching one hand on her heart, she walks faster inside the imperial palace, towards Logan. Her guts are telling her that something disastrous will happen and it feels like...feels like history will repeat again.

"Am I going to lose you again?"
