His Majesty frowned in disgust, his voice turning cold. "Lorena, do you really not know, or do you think that if you choose to forget, everyone else will forget too?"
Lorena's crying stopped abruptly, and the deepest secret she had kept hidden in her heart surged into her mind.
Her mother used every means to marry the Emperor, and in doing so, she caused the death of the Emperor's first wife.
All the other princes were born to the former empress, but she was born to the second empress.
Moreover, it was her mother who used methods to obtain His Majesty's genes in order to conceive and give birth to her.
When the Empress gave birth to her, His Majesty, being a novice, killed her mother.
If it weren't for the genetic confirmation that she was indeed His Majesty's child, His Majesty might have strangled her with his own hands back then.
It was because she was born of His Majesty's genes that she was able to save her life.
Although she was given princess-like treatment, she was treated coldly, neglected, and indifferent from a young age.
Therefore, she grew up alone under the care of servants, and she never received fatherly love or brotherly affection.
As she grew up, she tried her best to use her talents to gain some attention from her father.
All her efforts turned to ashes at this moment, and her father reminded her once again of the unbearable circumstances of her birth.
He disliked her, even loathed her.
"Now that you're back, go back to your princess residence. You don't need to come here again." The Emperor's cold order also foreshadowed that she would be far removed from the center of politics and would never again be able to touch any power.
How could this be? No way! But seeing the cold eyes of the people in the room, Lorena swallowed her resentment.
She bowed to her father, the emperor, turned around, and strode away.
Now, she cannot show any dissatisfaction; she cannot act rashly before receiving definite news from the Insect King.
She strode forward, her face cold and gloomy. Seeing her expression, the guards silently stepped aside and bowed.
She hadn't gone far when suddenly Prince Brett's voice rang out behind her, "Lorena!"
Lorena paused in her forward steps, silently turned around, and saw the tall, slender man walking towards her step by step.
Lorena felt no warmth whatsoever from the man's handsome appearance and the gentle, polite smile on his face.
On the contrary, she even felt her scalp tingle, her whole body on alert, and her eyes looking at the man warily, but she still put on a smile and said, "Second Brother."
Brett walked up to Lorena without saying a word. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Lorena, who was bowing to him and whose eyes were filled with fear.
The two of them, one tall and one short, one with their head down and the other with their head up, looked at each other.
The scene was very quiet. All the servants were so frightened by the suffocating atmosphere that they quickly left. My God, it was terrifying.
There were only Brett and Lorena in the long corridor.
Finally, Brett chuckled, his face like a demon's, his smile both bewitching and perverse.
This smile set Lorena on high alert.
Brett simply said in a calm voice, "Lorena, I know everything you've done. Now, enjoy yourself."
Lorena knew that what she had done was not secretive. At the time, she thought Brett had died with the Zerg and had no chance of returning, so...
Looking back now, I should have been more discreet.
