Third Life
Disbelief in the Princess Mary

Emperor Abraxas fell silent as he glanced at Princess Maria with a difficult gaze.

" It is only as usual that the nobles want me to marry the Lady immediately to have a male heir." replied Emperor Abraxas as he glanced at Princess Mary before continuing his dinner.

Princess Mary who heard it in her heart was infuriated by the manner of the nobles trying to remove her from the throne. They thought he was incapable of becoming Emperor. Because an Emperor had to be a boy in order to lead a war and conquer some of his other empires. As for the Emperor, a woman will have a gentle attitude and of course she will be controlled by her husband later.

So that's why for the last 5 years Princess Maria has always tried to make herself worthy to replace her father. Even now he was already proficient at using a sword that required 2.5 to learn it.

But up until now the nobles have always doubted his ability by not allowing him to lead a war.

" How do you feel about father?" princess Maria asked showing her calm demeanor.

" Of course I don't want to. I was only married to Lady Anne even though everyone was sure she was dead. But you know how cunning Countess Reyes was to deceive me back then." said Emperor Abraxas.

Princess Mary nodded her head in light of the frustration of hearing of the death of Lady Annelise, who had changed her. At first, Princess Maria was convinced that Lady Annelise had died in a chariot accident. But there were some convulsions that made him and Emperor Abraxas suspicious because the Reyes family had suddenly left the empire without telling them where they were going. Not long after Lady Annelise's funeral.

With the condition of the shattered body Princess Maria could see the stoic expressions of the Count and Countess Reyes contain something meaning.

Emperor Abraxas heard the question Princess Maria scrunched her forehead.

" True tomorrow I'll go there to review all of her. Moreover, during this time the southern part of the empire was always backward. So I want to make a change and as long as I'm not here Princess Maria will be your responsibility to protect the empire. Despite all your doubts I believe you can lead the empire well." said Emperor Abraxas, holding the hand of Princess Maria.

Princess Maria's eyes were tearful as Emperor Abraxas believed in her. Though all this time he knew how Emperor Abraxas was obsessed with having a son and he did not get it from his mother the late Queen Catherine.

It seemed that Emperor Abraxas' love for Lady Annelise changed his outlook. Princess Maria hopes they can reunite and somehow she can feel it.

After the conversation with Princess Maria at dinner last night. Emperor Abraxas returned to his room and felt that something was empty in his heart.

Especially after hearing the death of Lady Anne the woman who made the heart pounding died. Making his life ruined somehow there's a hidden pull every time he sees it.

" I hope you still have Anne so you can apologize to you for my mistake 5 years ago." murmured Emperor Abraxas as he looked at the moon from behind his window.
