Annie didn't bother cleaning up the mess she created. Lisa would come here, and the one he looked for would be the emperor.

She, as the empress, still could get away before he came and he would not bother with her again.

Planning her revenge after her escape would not be too late.

Walking through the empty corridor, she quickly came out from the harem.

The capital was in chaos. From the place she stood, she could hear the people yelling and screaming.

She knew The soldiers of the Ming Kingdom had reached the capital.

Turning her back, she was about to run when she notices a few soldiers walking to her front, blocking her way.

Her face turned cold, it seemed she could no longer escape from this place.

"The Empress is running away!"

There was no one left to help her. She had chased away the servants to get the chance to kill the emperor and allowed her to escape.

Before she could execute her plan, it failed miserably. She could only hope for a chance to escape in the future.

This was the first time she felt that she should have learned martial arts in the past. The kingdoms were in the eras of war.

From time to time, the city would shift its owner, and the citizen would face the terror of raids from enemy soldiers.

As a noble, she had lived a sheltered life, but it has come to an end now.

Walking back to the hall, she waited patiently.

Glaring at the soldiers who dared to approach her, she made them didn't dare to get close.

Her mind thought hard, she would try to get his heart once again.

Maybe, this time the chance was on her.

Powerful steps came to her ear. She turned her head to see him.

The person the soldiers and she waited for has come, General Lisa.

Lisa looked towards Annie coldly. Annie stared back, calmly. If he did this to her previously, she would surely be hurt.

But now, all she felt was emptiness. She no longer had any feelings left for this man.

"Did you kill the emperor?"

Annie looked up. The first question he asked was this one, maybe she shouldn't have any hope left in her heart that he would ask about her condition or anything.

"I did."

Lisa looked at her calmly. "Why?"

"He's annoying."

Would you kill someone just for that reason? He looked at Annie. The girl was still the same as the one in the past.

She was still hoping to have the most powerful husband, but all she wanted was only power and achievement.

"Why did you look at me with that kind of eyes?"

Annie recognized the eye Lisa used to see her. It was the eyes filled with pity and sadness.

She didn't want to be pitied. She was happy with the way she lived all this time.

Why would he look at her with that kind of eye?

"You should stop looking at the world that way," Lisa said calmly.

Annie answered. "Why won't you look at me?"

"When I'm at the hardest moment in my life, where are you?" Lisa asked back.

Annie couldn't say that she didn't know.

She was still in the Ming Kingdom when it happened, but at that time, she didn't want to meet with him anymore.

She thought that his life was already over and he would be trash.

Yet, she had been wrong because Lisa had become even greater in the future.

If she truly loved him, she would accept him as he was.

However, she did not do it. She only chased after him when he was great and had the glory and power behind him.

The him that she wanted was not the real him. That was why Lisa chose to leave her and never looked at her anymore even as a sister like he did previously.

"I'm not allowed to see you," Annie made up an excuse.

Lisa shook his head. "Don't lie. I didn't spend two years with you accompanying me for nothing. You're only looking at what I have and not me, so I can't accept you."

Unknowingly, tears started to fall on Annie's face.

She didn't know the reason, but the tears just fell on its own.

Her heart didn't hold Lisa anymore, but she couldn't erase her feeling just like that.

Years of chasing after him left a mark in the deepest part of her heart. That mark was a permanent one that she could not erase.

It turned out, she couldn't forget about him. "I can change. I will change for you."

"It's too late," Lisa answered calmly.

If people could change that easily, how could there be stubborn people, different traits, and all?

They have their personality, and they could only change bit by bit as time passed by according to their path.

Maybe Annie could change, but still, she was not one he fancied. He never put her into his heart and he would never do that.

If she could change, what was the use of over one decade time ever since that time? He didn't have the will to wait for that.

"Why? People can change!"

"Yes, that's true. However, even if you change, I already have another person in my heart," Lisa answered.

"If I do it earlier, will you look at me?" Annie looked up.

Lisa stared at her, thinking about the question.

If he hadn't met with Jennie, he would have never even opened his heart.

At that time, would he like this woman?

"No, I won't."

The tears fell even heavier.
