“If only there had been a second chance! I will love you with all my heart!” Katherine closed the eyes of her one and only son with tears of blood in her eyes. Katherine, the second wife of the emperor Christian De Fasanovia, did everything to make sure that her son would be the emperor. So when her other concubines attacked the crown prince, she closed her eyes. Her only goal was to save her son and for that she wanted him to be emperor, the ultimate power and authority. On the day her husband died, she was more than happy, as the crown prince was already dead and now only her son was left! With the crown in her hands, she went to welcome the new power only to see him drinking poison by himself with a cold smile on his face. “If I get another chance, I never want you to be my mother!” He closed his eyes with hatred towards his cold and cruel mother only to open his eyes when he was 5 again. But why is his mother behaving differently this time? Was it a dream or he just woke up from one?
"Oh!" she blinked, "you are an intelligent man, duke Rohtman. I felt strange that you misunderstood such a basic thing. But now that you apologize, of course, I will forgive you." she said with a smile and a nod.
He smirked. Of course, he knew that she would not be able to press the matter if he would take the initiative to ask for punishment.
He is such a high nobles with years of support to the royal family. If he would be punished by her or she misbehaved, she would be the one who would lose her image.
She would be called a cruel and cold woman or worse.. She was jealous of his position that was why she was trying to press him.
Since the matter is resolved well. He can leave freely now. With that thought, he stood up when she smirked at him.
"And as far as you are asking about punishment.. How could I give you one? But.." but? The widening smirk on his face turned stiff as he looked at her.
