Chapter 2
Moreover, the sight of the man, who was leisurely sitting on the sofa, smiling at her agony seemed unreal . He wasn’t even surprised to see Ellenia fall down after drinking the tea he had given her .
“Gaius, why…?”
“Poor Ellenia . ”
The man stood up and approached her . His arrogant gaze and slow step reflected how insignificant he regarded Ellenia in his heart . He no longer bothered to hide his true feelings about his dying wife . He sighed as if he was making a big decision, then bent his knee, and lifted Ellenia’s head roughly, causing her to groan in pain .
“I gave you everything… . You said you loved me! I raised Paris as my own son and made him the prince, so why…?”
“Yes, you’re right . You were such a good mother . You raised Paris as if he was your own child . . ”
He smirked .
“I’ll be the emperor, not the prince . He’s ‘my’ son . He was me and Satin’s son . ”
Hearing the name of his ex-lover who had not been mentioned for the past 10 years came out of her husband’s mouth, cause Ellenia’s body to freeze in shock .
“Satin Arietta…?”
Satin Arietta was Paris’s biological mother that was unknown to anyone . When Ellenia met Gaius, he kept the secret by lying that he was a single man who was taking care of a child that lost his mother who died from an illness .
Elleina loved him so much that she accepted Paris and raised him as a prince . When the two had children, she believed that Paris would assist his sister who would be the empress someday .
“I believe you love me…”
“Love . . ?”
Gaius suddenly grinned .
“Stupid . You stupidly chose me, someone who had nothing aside from a child and a face . ”
“How can you…how can–”

“I can’t believe you were drunk in love just because we matched a little bit…you were so blinded in love that you took a boy without your blood inside the imperial palace . ”
He pushed his already fallen wife .
“If you want to blame someone, blame your father . Satin died because of the emperor . My family was destroyed for committing treason . ”
The words he spat were filled with anger, he glared at Ellenia with bloodshot eyes .
“And now your father tried to snatch the empire away from my son . Don’t you think it is unfair?”
Ellenia’s world was turned upside-down instantly, the tears dripping down from her eyes .
“Ellenia . ”
Gaius suddenly changed his tone gently and reached out his hand to stroke Ellenia’s cheek . At the touch, his tender golden-eyes that were looking at her gave her a vain hope .

“Please, Gaius…tell me this is a lie . Tell me this is a joke, please!”
Thud-!
But the next moment his hand pushed her face away . Ellenia hit her head against the cold marble floor, while blood continued dripping from her mouth .
“Hahahahaha! What did you expect? Until the end, you are really such an idiot . ”
He grabbed the struggling princess’s chin and forcibly turned her head to the side, then whispered in her ear .
“I . Don’t . Love . You . At All . ”
Ellenia who fell weakly darted her lips . The blood poured from her lips once more . As if he was almost done with menial work, Gaius brushed his knees and shrugged as he stood up .
“You don’t know how grateful I am to you for raising my child as your own . That would erase your father’s thousand of sins . Of course, your father and daughter’s death is inevitable . ”

“…You…Ah-”
“What?”
“Apol…Apollonia, my daughter . . ”
Princess Ellenia called out that particular name while her eyes gradually blurred . Gaius, who barely understood what she was saying, laughed blandly .
“Nia is also my daughter, so I’ll try to not kill her as much as I can . I’ll let her grow up quietly to be a good hand for political affairs . For me, Paris and the empire . ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the princess’s body began to convulse little by little . She frantically looked at the corner of the room, mumbling something, but her correct words never came out .
Gaius, who saw her struggling desperately, only wriggled his eyebrow with a bored expression . Before long, her final breath left her body and she weakly tumbled to the ground .
“It’s finally over . ”
