The Empress

The letter

After Sir William Richardson, his wife and son left the palace, The Emperor and family members got busy with work so did the entire household.

Some got busy rearranging the palace because soon there was going to be an Empress.

The immediate family members of the Emperor were also involve in this

Sir Stephen, the Emperor's father has personally gotten involve in the security of the palace and even recruited female soldiers for the personal safety of the Empress both private and social.

Lady Melissa, the Emperor's mother is also busy decorating a room meant for the Empress.

A week later, The Emperor received a letter and a painting from his uncle Sir William. It was the painting of a lady.

In the letter, his uncle stated that they have found a middle class lady who could be the potential bride of the Emperor but the problem was that her family seemed suspicious. They seemed to be hiding something about the girl and also the family were demanding a dowry so they wanted to know what to do next.

The letter was read to the Emperor, his parents, grandparents, great grandmother, Aunts, uncles and the Emperor's elder brother

After an hour of discussions, the Emperor decided that if Sir William, wife and Jason think she is good for him, then they should pay for the dowry and bring her to the palace. He also added that his father sends enough money for the payment of the dowry.

Some of the other family members didn't agree that the girl was from a middle class home so they tried talking the Emperor out of it but the emperor said he has already decided

After the discussion, everyone left excluding the Emperor's father and brother

Michael, why have you decided to get married to the girl even though William said her family seem suspicious? Stephen asks

Father it's because I like how she looks in the painting and also looking at the painting, she looks like she is scared and she doesn't look happy. The moment I saw the painting, I realized that she needs help. I want to know her more Michael answers

Father you know Michael is good at making decisions and reading people just by looking at them so let's hope for the best; Augustine says

Augustine, I'm worried that Michael will suffer another heartbreak; says Stephen

Father, please don't worry. I will be fine; says the Emperor as he walks away.

After a while, Sir William received the reply of the letter and some money for the dowry so they contacted the Blanksons and asked for a meet.
