The Empress had a complicated expression when she saw Josh. He was previously the captain of the palace guards. He had been loyal to the Empress. It seemed like after Quincy became the Empress, she had promoted him as the commander-in-chief.
However, the Empress knew from how Josh looked at her that he no longer respected her; he had turned cold.
It was apparent, the Empress' pregnancy with Darryl's child had tarnished the reputation of the South Cloud World's royal family. Of course, Josh's attitude toward her would change.
"Josh!"
Soon, the Empress regained her thoughts. She stepped forward and shouted at Josh. "What are you doing here with the grand army?"
Josh took a deep breath and looked directly at the Empress's eyes. "I am here upon Her Majesty's order to invite you back!"
Josh took out an imperial decree and read it out loud. "The former Empress, Shannon Long, pregnant out of wedlock, humiliated the reputation of the royal family. I hereby order Commander Josh to lead the grand army to bring her back to the palace, terminate the pregnancy, and be banished to the cold palace to repentance. No denial allowed." Shannon Long was the Empress's real name.
After reading the imperial decree, Josh said calmly, "You have heard the imperial decree. I am only executing the order. Please don't cause me any trouble."
Bang…
The Empress felt a sharp pain in her heart as if she was struck by lightning. She took a few steps backward.
'Quincy wants me to abort my child and lock me in the cold palace?! She is my sister; how can she be so cruel?'
Wow!
Chester and others broke into an uproar.
'Banish the Empress to the cold palace and abort the child? That is too cruel. Has Quincy lost all her affections and feelings after she became the Empress?'
"Hey!"
