The Empress Is Dead. My name is Brantina Viskes Leorte, the empress of the Leorte Empire and also a daughter of a spy family, the princess of the Giad Kingdom, has decided to kill herself— pretended I meant.
I live my whole time in the palace only to receive unloved from my husband, he would often bring woman into his chambers, and ask them for unnecessary things. He only touched me once, and that one was the most miserable thing he had done to me.
Rape? No, because he is my husband so it's not a rape despite how I am against it. I was played at, losing my virginity and has to endure being the empress which I couldn't even bare, did he love me? I know our marraige was only contractual, but at least look at me.
I told that to him one day. "Do you really not care for me? " He only glare at me the same way he glare at a prey and said a word that change my way of thinking.
"Empress, you are bound to be unloved, because I married you out of the marquis reputation and it's wealth. "
So, that is the sole reason is it not? I gripped myself and drunk a tea thought of killing me but I survived.
One day, I got pregnant because of that one night stand. Pregnant? I was forced to get impregnated yet he doesn't even come to great me, I was sad and was sadden.
I visited him only to be disappointed. I heard moans behind his door, I heard loud echoes of woman's voice that sake my entire mind. And almost lost my child in that dangerous month.
I survive once again and that same month, my brother visited me in evening. He looked at me with glimpse of anger and took my shoulders.
"What happened? Why are you like this? " I didn't fully understand but seeing my brother made me fall on tears, shredded water flooded through my eyes and I couldn't even glimpse that event on my mind.
"Brother, am I, am I only a marraige material for power? " Those question may have triggered him once, he didn't seem satisfied and he grips my shoulders so hard that I ache in pain only then he released me.
He hugged me, embrace me inside his arms and said this. "You are not, don't say that, I will protect you no matter what. "
He left afterwards and my pregnancy continue. I decided to confront my husband once again, but you know what? He slapped me in the face hearing about falsely accused rumors about me having an affair with another man while being pregnant.
I was lost of words, my head doesn't function so as well my mind. I feel so angered, yes I'm trying not too, I didn't want to get stressed out because of this but he only repeatedly scream and yelled at me.
This time, I knew for sure. I am only miserable as I continue to pursue myself that he will change, that he will love me and I alone.
I was wrong..
3 months before my labor, I confronted my doctor and ask his help. He knew about the mistreatment I suffered, and he was an old friend to my father, so I ask him for help, that also time, I ask my brother for a plan and he helped me upon what I had too do.
The doctor agreed to help me and so the Baroness Maria, my lady in wait. Only few of people knows my plan, brother kept reducing the possibility it would leak, and we operated the plan by reporting to his highness of possible premature labor, the doctor also ensure that he would give me supplementary medicine and not actually a pregnancy tablets so that it would also be helpful to the baby.
Finally, we desperately spend a month finding a person who look just like and the coincidence will be likely high so we did use magic for some arrangements, but 2 days before my premature labor, that woman died and the doctor persevered her body.
Finally I was able to escape. With the help of my brother and the doctor, the plan of 'The Empress Is Dead' went successful.
