Emperor Andrew's eyes became several points colder and darker, his face is devoid of any emotion but he is already emitting a cold and dangerous aura at that time as he silently sit and stared at the three women directly laughing and insulting him! Soon, an invisible force erupted from him and killed the three women! The force made the three women implode! Their existence was erased and the only things that remained are their worn clothes and accessories!

He stood up and gave his order to destroy and flatten Vallia to the ground! He was about to leave the place when he noticed something sparkling in the clothing on the ground! When he checked, he immediately saw the jade medallion he gave to Beatrix on her fifteenth birthday! He took the smaller jade medallion and combined it with his bigger jade medallion!

Beatrix, you just gave away my gift to you... I told you not to take it off... Too bad, you did not know of its importance! With this gift, you have the authority to command all of my troops even the hidden ones... By having this medallion, I gave you the same power and authority but you removed this on your body and even gave it away!!!

He thought with a very dangerous glint on his eyes! When Emperor Andrew and his troops departed, the place that was once called Vallia was flattened to the ground and any traces that Vallia existed were destroyed and removed! It is as if it did not exist in history and that place was only a myth!

In the capital of Solaris Empire, Prince Anders together with Princess Gertrude and her maid, Catty helped in checking the shoreline for any survivors or dead bodies! When Prince Anders did not see Beatrix, he volunteered to go with the rescue authorities but they did not allow him! It was only with the help of Princess Gertrude that he was allowed to board one of the vessels of the Solaris rescue team. Prince Anders, Princess Gertrude, and Catty boarded one of the vessels to look for their missing special someone.

Prince Anders knew that Princess Gertrude is also looking for someone but he never asked her who is that person because he thought it is too personal. He will just wait for her to tell him. During the days that they went together with the rescue authorities, they grew closer to each other. It seems that they have a lot of things in common. Even the maid Catty is beginning to become nice and warm to him.

Finally, Princess Gertrude told him that she is looking for her cousin named Valentine. Since she told him that information so he also told her that he is looking for his fiancee named Beatrix. Prince Anders did not notice the surprise on her face, sadness in her eyes, and the gloominess in her mood as he continued to talk to her about his beloved Beatrix!

Beatrix's sleep is so deep. She is oblivious to her surroundings. She is dreaming of her first lifetime. Everything seems and feels so weird since she is seeing in a third-person perspective instead...

The great day arrived and Beatrix chose the easiest and most practical choice, she announced in front of the Emperor, Empress, two princes, and officials that she will be marrying Crown Prince Andrew. She happily entered his mansion as his Legal Wife and Crown Princess.

The next scene is in the court, Prince Anders is always blocking Crown Prince Andrew's plans and actions inside the court. Surprisingly, Prince Anders gained popularity this time and his supporters grew faster than expected!

Crown Prince Andrew realized that Prince Anders suddenly became so determined to directly compete for the throne now. He immediately confronted his brother...

"Why are you doing this?!!" Crown Prince Andrew asked his brother straight to the point.

"Imperial Brother, you have Beatrix now but I will get the throne..." Prince Anders smiled maliciously and whispered in his brother's ear. "Do you still remember what Beatrix is always saying when she is young?" He said softly almost a whisper to his brother. "She wants to be the Empress... Do you think that she chose you because she loves you? She chose you over me because you are the Crown Prince... Can you imagine what will happen if you do not become the Emperor?" Prince Anders chuckled and left his brother silently thinking alone...

In the next scene is Crown Prince Andrew is about to see Beatrix but he heard Prince Anders and Beatrix talking and laughing happily... He does not know why but he cannot proceed and he chose to listen to their lively conversation instead...

"Beatrix, if ever I become Emperor instead of my Imperial Brother, will you support me?" Prince Anders asked Beatrix in a joking manner.

"It does not matter who becomes the next Emperor, I will gladly support any of you..." She immediately replied.

Crown Prince Andrew fiercely clenched his hands and immediately left silently...
