"Don't touch me!!" her voice roared in angst, traces of tears can be seen on her porcelain skin. 

"Do not make this any harder for all of us, dear" her biological mother replied as she once again gets pulled over by Astrid and Esmeralda. 

"I'm disgusted by you."

Celestia blurts out.

Esmeralda did not respond and continued holding Celestia in arms. There's no use explaining things to a dying person for it will not change anything. Celestia learned many secrets tonight and it's enough to compensate for the things she will never know.

Entering the emperor's chamber masked in gold carvings of intricate designs, anyone who will enter will be amazed at how the room screams great wealth and power.
