The Doomed And Blessed, 13th Young Miss Chapter 51

CHAPTER 51

It had been quite some time now, that more affection was shown to Matthew from the Empress and Empress Dowager, then his own mother, most likely due to her enduring what she had to.

It was a question indeed, how everything had taken place…These questions…

Matthew’s father had stated briefly on how he had been able to get the Emperor to see his mother straight after she had become a consort, but didn’t go into much details…Like everything else.

He could see it as plain as day, though, that his mother was not going to stay with the Emperor now, as she obviously wanted to go with his real father instead.

They really did make a pair though, as she did shine brighter when she looked into his father’s eyes. “Then you must take care, but I will stay longer.”

“You had said that you’d follow last time…”

Oh, that’s right! That was a few years ago…

Having forgotten that he hadn’t a reason to stay in Green Haven back then, Matthew had said this. Thinking now to that little la.s.s and his plans, there was no way he would leave just yet.

Looking out into the vast, land area, Matthew thought that not only he himself, but the la.s.s, had some unfinished business. “…I’ll come to see you another time.”

“Well, if he’s not coming, let’s go!”

Matthew smirked at his father’s impatience. Clearly, he wanted to find somewhere to be alone with his mother.

Thinking to all the time that he had been away from his own little la.s.s, Matthew could sort of understand his father. He’d been away from the la.s.s for near two years, and now that he knew where she was, all he wanted to do was to go and see her.

Even though his father had taken the Emperor’s own flower, Matthew found himself on familiar grounds with him, for the first time.

“Matthew, are you sure?” His mother asked once more.

“Mmm, perhaps in a year or two.”

With my woman by my side…

His mother smiled at him, something she hadn’t done for a while. Matthew breathed out in relief, she will be happier now. “Go on, be happy.”

His father chuckled, “Yes, of course she’ll be happy!”

Matthew watched, as his father turned his mother around and they started to walk away, chatting.

“It’s not my fault you left me!”

“But I didn’t know I loved you back then, my dear!”

“It would have been a lot easier…”

“Yes, yes, but I stole you back, didn’t I?”

“…Not careful…Madeline!”

“…Count…it!”

Shaking his head, Matthew couldn’t believe the predicament of his real family. When he had found out about his real origins, he had been sixteen, and Isabella, along with his child, had just pa.s.sed away.

At that time, he hadn’t experienced very much at all. Becoming a cultivator and an honest, loyal son to the Emperor, Matthew had no idea to the evil of some people’s hearts.

Having been safe, while under the Empress and Empress Dowager, Matthew hadn’t been in any kind of royal fight and didn’t see it, until he had been eight, when his little brother had been born. With an ending coming to that small fight, after a few years, Matthew hadn’t learnt much from it at all…He had not been the Crowned Prince and he had the Empress and Empress Dowager behind him, so, he had spent many days of their fights, cultivating in seclusion.

Everything had slammed into him at once, upon Isabella’s death! Disloyalty to the throne, using one’s family to get what you want, losing something precious, seeing a brother that became an enemy, finding out that your ‘father’ isn’t your father and seeing how pathetically weak he was, to fight against each of these circ.u.mstances!

It was quite an emotional time, as he had found out that Isabella’s death was caused by her own family. They had wanted him to fight for the throne and become the next Emperor. They then, knowing that Isabella was favoured, used their own family member, to talk him into it. What they hadn’t expected, was that Isabella’s body during pregnancy, already had troubles, so, what they had done had gone disastrously and tragically bad! Not only had he lost Isabella, but his soon to be born child as well…Matthew had not known, until then, how cruel he could be.

TLCsDestiny: Coming up!

‘I thought she was going to save Talon first…

Matthew was quite confused, at seeing such a scene after already picturing Talon disappearing from the estate, in his own idea on what was going to happen.

Shaking his head, he could scarcely believe that his woman had such a cold side to her.

But…It was something he needed, for her to be his woman.

Her cruelty could match his own…

This woman…She is getting revenge!’
