[GL] How Dare You Bully The Female Lead

Chapter 11

Satin tried extending her hand towards my face but I slapped it away angrily. The people present in her study all held their breaths frozen in place but I didn't care about them. I could only see one person.

"Is Lichen your daughter?"

Satin froze for some reason bringing her hand back towards her heart.

"Is she your daughter, yes or no?"

Satin seemed really out of it and I had to hit the table to wake her up:

"Answer me."

A man close to the Empress gained back his senses and took a step towards me but another person stopped him shaking his head. Satin swallowed and finally said something:

"Yes, she is."

I was going to lose it. Feeling it, one of the guards tried to calm me down by touching my shoulder but I pushed her back:

"You called your own daughter: that thing? You called her that thing! How could you talk like this about your own child? In front of her moreover! How dare you say that about my niece? If you don't want children then you shouldn't have any! How dare you talk about her like this?"

I wanted to hit her. I wanted to destroy her. I had read the book. I knew how big of a trauma this was for Lichen. How could Satin torture her daughter like this? That small thing couldn't have done anything wrong. She was so cute. No child deserved to be talked about like this. Seeing me this angry, Satin tried to explain but I motioned her to stay silent. What excuse could she have to behave like this? There was nothing this poor child could have done that explained this behavior. She was innocent.

"Where is my sister?"

Was Imeena dead like in the book? Was that why Satin was acting like this? It didn't excuse anything but I had to understand.

"Nebula please... Listen to me.

-I want to see Imeena. Where is she?

-But...

-I don't have anything more to say to you. Where is Imeena?"

Satin swallowed loudly:

"She is in the Consort wing."

I frowned. Consort? Did they have a fight? Why wasn't Imeena in the Imperial consort Palace? Or the Empress Palace? Was this all because of a fight? That was even worse. I had to talk to my sister. I just turned around ready to leave but Satin grabbed my arm. I turned back and glared at her:

"Don't touch me."

Satin immediately let go showing me her palms as a sign of peace:

"Please, Nebula. Don't leave. Where did you go? Why did you leave? How are you?

-That's not important right now. I'm going to my sister."

As I said this, I left the study but I could hear Satin following me in silence and behind her her guards and a few other people. We looked like a human train therefore it wasn't surprising that the people we passed stared at us with huge frowns. Satin was walking a few steps behind me and I could feel that she wanted to say something but never managed to. I didn't pay her any attention and almost ran to my sister's room. My sister wasn't dead. I came in time. But then why was Satin mean to her daughter? What happened? Did Imeena let her do this? As I stopped in front of the door, Satin finally talked:

"Nebula... Please wait."

But I was already knocking and walked in. The room was very plain for a Consort room. And very small. There was almost nothing apart from some simple furniture. No gold, no jewelry, no mirrors. This looked more like a cell than a royal room. What could they have possibly fought about? Satin was supposed to be head over heels for Imeena. Speaking of which, Imeena was sitting in front of the window and opened wide eyes seeing me come in. She was way thinner than before and was wearing plain robes that covered her whole body. Everything was way too weird. What happened while I was away?
