Empress consorts (Book two and three of Rebirth me.)

Chapter 6: Failed plan

Emma couldn’t believe how magical Lilly’s hand was until she was done with her makeup. The real owner’s face looks so beautiful, but she’s really pretty with makeup on. She turned to Lilly and smiled, ‘’Thank you, I will really miss this and you.’’ Without waiting for Lilly to reply she got up and walked towards her ball gown, ‘’This is next right?’’ she questioned, instead of a nod from Lilly she saw Lilly shaking her head, ‘’Corset and petticoat first.’’ Emma suddenly became paled, ‘’Shit.’’ 

''Ca....can.... can't i not wear th.... that?'' Emma stammered while pointing at the demon thing in front of her.

''No, you must.''

Five minutes later, Emma, who was screaming and kicking the maids that were forcing the corset and petticoat on her, came outside her room while breathing heavily. The corset was too tight on her, it felt like Lilly purposely tightened it just to punish her, her tiara matched her gown so well, she sighed and started walking towards the ball room. On reaching there, she saw her consorts already waiting for her. She smiled at them and spread her hands, ''My babies.'' she was waiting for them to run towards her and hug her, but none of them moved.

She tilted her head, ''Am i hated?'' immediately she said that her five consorts simultaneously went towards her and hugged her, ''Hehehe, let go inside my babies and enjoy this last night.'' she linked her two hands with her first and second consort and without looking at their surprised face she instructed the announcer to announce them.

The announcer became startled when he realized he had to announce the empress and her five royal consorts. He cleared his throat and yelled, ‘’Her imperial highness, Emma de Lockhart and her imperial royal consorts.’’

Immediately, the name was announced, the music stopped and everybody turned around and held their breath. The empress is a good woman who loves her people, but she was still a scary person. No one had ever seen her smile before, she was unapproachable. When the door opened, people were expecting the usual glommy empress to come out, but all they saw was a smiling empress who was linking her arms with her first and second consorts.

Everybody gasped, including the announcer who was standing beside the royal family. It was a well-known fact how the empress hated her consorts, especially the first consort, but had everything changed overnight?

‘’Why so stiff?’’ Emma whispered to the first consort, the first consort who couldn’t stop blushing turned towards her and whispered back, ‘’I’m not.’’ Emma sighed, it so hard trying to make a conversation with the first consort, he is just like the novel said, ‘A man of few words.’

Emma turned towards the second consort and smiled at him, she looked down at the people below who were all staring at her, ‘’Thank you all for leaving your humble homes to celebrate my recovery. I hope you all enjoy tonight to your heart's content. I’m also thankful to my dear babies for preparing this surprise for me.’’ She turned towards her consorts and smiled, ‘’Thank you babies.’’

The five consorts were all looking at her bewildered. Seeing the shocked look on their faces, Emma wanted to laugh out loud but she controlled herself, she turned back to the people below her, ‘’Enjoy.’’

Immediately she finished talking, the music resumed, ‘’Enjoy the party.’’ Emma said to her consorts. She walked down the stairs without looking back, she walked towards one place without looking back. While she was walking, the people were clearing the way for her. When she reached the place she was walking to, she smiled and bent down, ‘’Honey, I’m here.’’ She wispered and picked up a chocalate cup-cake, put it inside her mouth and exhaled.

For about twenty minutes, Emma was hiding in a corner while eating different flavours of cake. She smiled sheepishly, realizing that her mother was nowhere to ask her to stop eating something that might damage her teeth and make her fat. Her mother would always say, ‘’I don’t care if you get fat, but that will surely damage your teeth.’’ She started laughing, suddenly she started crying, ‘’I miss you mom.’’

It took her about five minutes to compose herself. She stood up from the place she was hiding, she came out and walked towards the table that was full of red liquid thing, ‘’Hope this isn’t alcohol.’’ She murmred and took a sip, ‘’Sweet.’’ She beamed.

Twenty minutes later.

‘’hic.’’ Emma looked at the dancing table in front of her. The table was dancing but the things on top of it were still standing, ‘’Magic.’’ She beamed and turned around to find a red-haired woman walking towards her. The woman was also dancing just like the table. She looked around and laughed, lots of people were dancing in a strange way, the red-haired woman stopped in front of her still dancing.

‘’Emma, why are you here? You have not been replying to any of my messages, you didn’t even tell me that you were going to come to this party. Why are you not talking? I’m asking you a question.’’

Emma, who was looking at the red-haired woman that didn’t give her any chance to talk started laughing, ‘’Pftt, sorry… hahahahaha, sorry…. Pftt hahahaha, sorry it just that hic, your nose twitches whenever you talk hic, did you get a hic, a plastic surgeon hic?’’

‘’What? Plastic what?’’ the woman was confused.

‘’Pftt, your way of hic dancing is hic halirious hic.’’ Emma drunkly said.

The red-haired woman frowned, she glanced around and saw that lots of people were gathering around them. She faked a smile, ‘’sister are you drunk?’’ she walked closer to Emma and tried holding her hand, but was pushed by her, ‘’Let go hic, I don’t have a sister hic.’’ Emma turned around and tried walking away, but someone held her, she frowned and turned wanting to slap the person, but she suddenly beamed.

“You are hic hot hic.’’ She beamed at the first consort, she glanced at him from head to toe and licked her lips, ‘’You are just my type.’’ She nodded, ‘’come home with me.’’ She turned around and met face to face with the second consort, ‘’Ahh! Another cutie.’’ She glanced around and found out she was already surrounded by her five consorts, ‘’Mamma mia.’’ She whispered.

‘’Thank you hic God, hehehe, you are all going home with me and tonight I wi……’’ before she could finish talking, the first consort had already carried her up in a princess style. He walked away, followed by the other consort, leaving the red-haired girl confused. That’s how the party came to a stop.

Next morning.

Emma woke up feeling sore all over her body. She looked up and saw the same ceiling she had seen yesterday, ‘’I’m still here, damn it!’’ she groaned and tried standing up, but something was holding her down. She frowned and turned her head, ‘’Bloody hell!’’
