CHAPTER 16
ESMERALDA’S CHAMBER
Esmeralda was standing as if she is waiting for someone as she but her fingers angrily.
Sage came in with Aurora and she bowed her head.
“My La….” She couldn’t complete the statements when Esmeralda slapped her hard and she held her cheeks.
“How dare you report me to the emperor, huh” Esmeralda growled.
“I was at the verge of death..”
“Death….. If you had died, no one would have cared” She yelled as Aurora caress her stinging cheek.
She forgot she had no one here except Jade and Madam Eloise.
“I’m sorry, My lady” she bent her head.
“I have works for you to do” Esmeralda blurted and gestured for Sage to bring it out.
“These dress, I haven’t worn them but they feel dirty to me…so wash them all” Esmeralda said as Sage brought out a pile of dress much more than what she did yesterday.
“But my lady……….” she wanted to protest but kept quiet as she stared at the pile of dress in front of her.
“What do you want to say” Esmeralda glared at her and she looked down.
“Nothing, My lady” she said, her voice low barely above whispers.
“Now take them all and finish it, I want to see it dried in the next 3 hours” Esmeralda yelled and she gasped.
Three hours, that is not even enough for her “My lady, it too………”
“You want to complain, right” Esmeralda furrowed her brows and continued
“I’ll reduce your time for that, you have 2 hours, thirty minutes to be done with this or you’ll face hell” Esmeralda threatened and went to her inner chamber.
She couldn’t protest cause she knew the time she gave her would reduce again, she packed up the dresses slowly.
“Why are you being sluggish, your time starts now” Sage yelled at her and she hastily wrapped it up and left the chambers.

ARCHERY FIELD
Emperor Augustus was in the field, a bow and arrow in his hands as he shot the arrow into the bull’s eye without any mistake.
He continued with it as Astrid watched him carefully.
“How about we go for a hunt tomorrow, your highness” Astrid suggested.
“No… I’ll rather go for a ride in the woods” he Protested dropping the bow and arrow and Astrid gasped.
“In the woods”
“Are you scared” Augustus raised his brow as he looked sideways at Astrid
“No, your highness” he shook his head.
“Inform Esmeralda too, we’ll be going together and make sure the horses doesn’t have any injury” he added.
“Yes, your highness”
Emperor Augustus took the bow and arrow again and continued.

YONGJING KINGDOM
PALACE
Aurora was weak and tired from all the washing, she has just thirty minutes left as she hung the dresses on the line.
‘how can these dress dry within thirty minutes?’ she thought inwardly as she sighed softly.
She turned back to see Caeser standing there “oh” she flinched.
“are you scared, Pretty” he chuckled.
“Yes I am, you scared me” She said and he smiles.
“How about we take a walk together” Caeser asked and she shook her head.
“I’m busy…..maybe some other time” she flashed him a smile.
“Fine then…… lemme help” he offered.
“Don’t worry, just go…….I’ll see you around” she gestured him to leave.
“Alright pretty” he winked at her then left.
Meanwhile, sage has been watching them as they talked loudly and she scoffed. “How did she became friends with Caeser” she asked herself jealously.
She gritted her teeth thinking of what to do.

Aurora took the bowl wanting to leave the place when someone yanked it away from her. It was Sage…
“What have you been doing since” she half yelled.
“I’m done with it already”
Sage walked towards the drier and checked the dresses.
“It still dirty, you didn’t wash it well” Sage grunted and begin to fall the dresses on the floor that is sandy.
Aurora eyes widened as she removed all the dresses from the line.
“Now, start again…..30 minutes left” Sage bumped shoulders with her and left smirking dangerously.
Aurora felt a brim of tear dropping from her eyes, she wiped it up carefully as she stared at the dresses on the floor.
She packed up the dresses as she teared up Washing it all over again.
