The Abandoned Empress - Chapter 319
I breathed roughly as I was gasping for breath. When I saw his eyes full of greed, I felt bitter.
The Jena family was a prestigious family that produced the first empress. At that time, they obviously shared the same political vision with the first emperor. I didn’t know why they became estranged from the imperial family.
Although I exterminated the families of the Kaisil, Heidel, and Laurel, I could not get rid of all the other duke families so I made an exception to the Duke family. I saved the Duke Jena family, given that Monique’s mother was from that family. But the duke’s behavior these days was going too far. I felt bitter because I was afraid that my son might inevitably have blood on his hands.
“I hope you will think again about what is the best for the empire and the people. Otherwise, not only your family, the apple of your eye, but also your power would be at stake. Besides, the empire might go through another political turmoil. So, I hope you can change your course even now, Duke Jena. When I think of the Earl Lanier case, it seems too late for you, but you still have the chance to stop it.”
