Chapter 489 Why Is He Raged?(Chapter Preview)

"You know why you 've been called here, right?" George stared at the woman who was not related to blood with Twins and he was sure she knew that now since he had heard they had found their pathetic son but he was irritated to see that same cold look in the eye of the woman.

Now that she has lost everything, shouldn't she be acting meek? What was with the arrogance? If he wanted, he could issue an order to throw him out of the Thawyne palace and annul her engagement with the crown prince with the snap of her fingers.

Only then this arrogant woman would understand what predicament she was in! What an arrogant bitch! She should have been already kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, yet look how she was sitting in front of him and sipping the tea, she was offered.

"No, your majesty. You have not mentioned the reason for summoning me in the letter.`` Though she had a thought in her mind that he had only called her to vent out his anger since her father had threatened them, she remembered the letter was personally written for the crown prince who had not given any response to it.

So, he could not meddle in affairs even when he was the father of the crown prince since his father still held a great authority in the palace.

There were rumours that the emperor did not take any action against it because he was not sure who the knighthood would listen to if he decided to attack Thawynes since they control the first and second order of knights.

While the third order of knights that were royal guards were under the control of the royal family, they were not as strong as the knights that had fought a war all their lives.

"You must know by now that you are nothing but a commoner with unknown blood. So, I want you to write a letter to annul the marriage.

I am being considerate to give you the chance to do so. Because if I wrote a royal decree, everyone would know that you are nothing but a filthy blood who was trying to act like a noble rose.

This is the last shred of respect I am giving to a commoner even when she had been nothing but brazen and impudent towards me.`` He did not touch the tea that was served to him as if he was telling that he could not share the same drink with her.

It would dirty him. His eyes were filled with contempt and only then did she notice that the emperor had never shared a meal with her. Even on her engagement, he had not sat for the family dinner with the excuse that he had guests to attend to.

She wondered if he knew since the start? And if yes, was he the person who had exchanged her?

She had asked the same question to Andrew but he had not given any reply when it came to the prepator of the scheme.

He had only asked about her count family instead. If she chose his offer, she would not have to suffer all this anymore!

"I did not understand what you were trying to say my lord. I have already expressed my desire to annul the marriage so many times and even my father had requested it on his early visit in June. But we were thoroughly rejected.

How could i be impudent enough to raise the same request again.,

And as far as it is about my origin and blood. We are going to declare Ethan as the eldest child in the reception party of Lady Evangeline with Duke Leonardo.

I have already sent an invitation letter to the palace. Hope you would grace us with your presence. Though I know how busy you are with other affairs.`` She elegantly placed the cup back on the tray.

Her every action was graceful and elegant while her face had the aura of a queen. She looked born noble and nobility was ingrained in her every action.

Her eyes had a trace of respect yet confidence and aloofness. That face did not know bowing in front of anyone.

But the man did not react any further, which surprised her. She was expecting him to fight till the end since he knew that Andrew would never write her annulment of marriage.

She knew that it was Andrew who had rejected all her requests and forced his father to do the same.

He must have a few secrets that he could use against the emperor, she concluded as she waited for him to insult her further.

"If so, then we have nothing to discuss further. The nobles would not accept you as their empress once the truth would come out.

If you could not accept the grace I am giving you, then you would be the one to suffer. I have already shown you my goodwill. And I did not think about the importance of dragging our conversation then, commoner!" instead of using lady Elizabeth to greet her like always, he had only dismissed her by calling her a commoner but that was it?

He was asking her to leave when he had called her to meet personally telling not to bring anyone else or inform them? He had not insulted her enough or tried to convince again?

Though she was happy, she did find the situation quite odd.

Yet under the brooding gaze of his, she could only bow her head and leave when he had dismissed her in such explicit words.

"Then, I shall take my leave, your majesty." he nodded as soon as she bowed her head and two maids came to escort her from there.

His body filled with rage as his face turned red. He slapped the table with full force when she left the room and her footsteps could not be heard anymore.

"What kind of nonsense is that? Haven't you told me that the girl had everything in her control? Then what is this I am hearing about the announcement of the truth?"
