Emma was suspicious of why Therius seemed so easy to give her what she wanted. It felt like the man wasn't acting like her enemy ... instead, like a caring boyfriend.
Yikes!
I'm not his girlfriend ... Emma grumbled inwardly.
She still hated Therius, whom she considered overbearing and ruthless. Emma was determined... that she wouldn't want to marry him. Ever.
She was already married and didn't even consider finding a new man in her life.
In fact ... even if Haoran never woke up again, Emma would not want to marry the future Akkadian king. They clearly colonized her mother's homeland. She wouldn't marry their oppressor.

"You seem to be having a lot of thoughts running in your mind ..." Atila commented as she caught Emma spacing out in the middle of their lesson. "Is there anything I can help?"
Emma gasped and moved from her reverie. She looked at Atila. "Uhm ... I was actually thinking about my schedule. There's so much to do."
