"Oh, you must be that child."
Ahm...
Huh?
"Empress Dowager..."
"Mother..."
Hearing the two men say that, I realize a few things.
This old woman is the royal mother of this kingdom.
I slightly bowed my head to her.
"Greetings to you, your majesty."
The old woman just stare at me with probing eyes and I stared back at her...
Emotionless.
"Do you know how rude you sounded a while ago dear?"
"I'm always rude.
I mean to be direct your majesty, than beating around the bush."
A mocking smile curl her lips.
"You are given the opportunity to marry my grandson without much effort and you just decline it."
She lifted my chin upwards.
"Don't you want to be an Empress of the biggest kingdom?"
I snorted with a laugh that came out to be mocking. Her eyes narrowed by reaction but...
Don't care.
"I don't have an ambition like that, your majesty or any of that sort."
I just want to survive of this otome game...
Whether this is still a game or my reality.
"If my grandson just the same age as you. Would you marry him?"
"It's not about having the same age. As I said a while ago...
I don't have that kind of ambition. Nothing is free in this world, especially the things that being serve in a silver platter.
Its like a bait that want you to take it but only to pay a huge prize in the end."
"Hmm... Interesting."
A smile finally make its way to her face before finally letting my chin go. She moves and sat down to the opposite lead part of the dining table.
"Let's Eat."
I didn't argue anymore and just starts to take the utensils again.
I feel like, I should stop offending this woman.

My left eyebrows raise up by themselves as Xero opened the room.
"This will be your room of the duration of your stay in here."
"Cool."
I just smile with a hidden grimace.
Why does it feel like this room was being prepared to fit my taste?
Or am I just...
Thinking a lot about things?
I sat in the pink soft cushion bed and my hands moved to reach the plushy stuff toys.
