A gust of wind blew on her waving dress. Longing and heartache hit his heart. He saw every corner of the Duke's residence, the residence full of memories. The tears rolled down her cheeks, as if representing her feelings. How much he missed and was afraid. He held onto his chest, the shadow of the heads of his parents spinning in his brain.
"Empress," Lucilla held the trembling hand of Empress Michelina. From the moment he woke up from his sleep, there was only sadness on his face. "Is the Empress okay?" asked Lucilla with a worried look.
"I'm fine Lucilla. I just feel sad."
Empress Michelina clasped Lucilla's hand and smiled. He ran into the residence. "Dad, Mother."
"The Empress," cried all the servants who saw her. He paid tribute to Michelina. But Michelina ignored him, not her arrogant intentions, she just wanted to make sure that this time was not a dream.
Brakes
Michelina opened the door of the study room violently. "Dad, Mother." The couple turned their heads, their hands still holding the painting of their daughter with her.
"Chelin," Duchess Mia opened both her hands, welcoming her little daughter. Chelin is a nickname that is specific to his little daughter. Now the longing has disappeared with his arrival. He was worried about the princess who had just entered the palace for a few days. He was very afraid, the palace was indeed a golden cage. Yet terrible. If it wasn't for his daughter loving the famous Emperor Jasper the Cruel Emperor. Where might he agree Michelina entered the palace. She recalled how sad Michelina was when she forbade Michelina from entering the palace. His little girl begged him and Duke Ronaf. "Darling, I miss you so much." Duchess Mia said as she stroked the black mane. Kissing her shoulders that were shaking because of her sobbing.
"Dear,"
"Thank God, mom's fine and dad's too."
Duke Ronaf stroked Michelina's cheek in the arms of Duchess Mia.
"We're not okay. We miss you so much."
Duchess Mia let go of her embrace. He wiped away Michelina's tears. "What do you mean Chelin?"
Empress Michelina lowered her head, "I shouldn't have worried you. I should've listened to you and mom."
"Darling what's wrong? did anyone hurt you?" ask Duke Ronaf. His daughter should be happy. He suspected Emperor Jasper of doing something painful for his daughter.
"Sit down, baby." Michelina sat next to her mother opposite Duke Ronaf. "May I go to my father often, I do not feel at home living in the palace. Honestly I want to" Michelina kept quiet. It's not that he's making trouble for his father anymore, but he has to say it. His heart will not be relieved. "I want to get out of the palace."
Listening to Michelina's words, Duke Ronaf and Duchess Mia stared at each other. Michelina is not what she used to be. Is Michelina conscious? if Emperor Jasper wasn't the best for him. Michelina has been engaged for a year. Emperor Jasper was still the Crown Prince at the time. He never visited Michelina. There's only a party they'll meet. As with Michelina, her daughter was always looking for an excuse to meet with Emperor Jasper. But there is only indifference. If it wasn't for her daughter's happiness. In their deepest hearts, they did not agree to marry Michelina.
"Aren't you happy with them." Duchess Mia. He remembered his daughter was always convinced. If Emperor Jasper loved him too.
"I'm aware mom, I realize that I can't be the best for her. I honestly want to leave the palace. It doesn't matter if I have to be a widow or a stranger." Michelina.
"Darling are you sure of what you said? it's not that easy to get out of there. If you leave, there will be a lot of ugly rumors about you."
"I don't care." Michelina said briefly. His eyes were round, remembering the blood. Her chest feels tight. "Honey," cried Duchess Mia and Duke Ronaf worried.
"I'm fine dad,"
"You'd better take a break, baby, we'll talk about it later." Duchess Mia said, holding Michelina in her bedroom.
