Stella blushed when she heard the Empress’ suggestion.
“Mother Empress, I am also Darryl’s woman. I also want to be in the same boat as him to take care of him.” Yvette
spoke anxiously to the Empress. “You told me that I have to be a virtuous wife when I’m married. Now when Darryl
needs me, how can I not help him?”
Yvette’s face flushed when she said that shyly.
Even though Yvette had a cheerful and bubbly personality, she was a lady, after all. How could a lady speak so
blatantly about their relationship?
Darryl had suffered severe injuries, and she was by his side. How could she let another woman take care of him?
“Very well, then!”
The Empress was speechless. Then, after a moment, she said, “Well, if you’re taking care of Darryl, then who would
take care of me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs an Empress, she was used to having her palace maids. She enjoyed a high status where the maids would serve
her, no matter her daily meals and other activities.
She did not want to change her lifestyle despite the change of circumstances.
That put Yvette in a difficult situation.
She was right, though!
The Empress was accustomed to servants. What would she do without any palace maids by her side? If Yvette
decided to take care of Darryl, who would serve her mother, then?
Yvette frowned as she was in a dilemma.
“Your Majesty…”
Stella said, “Perhaps Your Majesty would allow my brothers to take the same boat. Then, they would be able to take
care of you.”
Then, Stella turned to the Scope brothers. “Senior Brothers, you are to take care of Her Majesty while we’re at sea.
You are to stay outside the cabin, and you shouldn’t disturb the Empress. You ought to do your best if she were to
command it, got it?”
The four brothers were stunned.
“No way, Junior Sister, we are heroes! How can we be servants?”
“Yes, this Empress is too prickly. I won’t do it…”
“Unless she calls us heroes…”
The Scope brothers were a little straightforward, but they were not fools. They knew that the Empress was used to
being coddled, and she was very hot-tempered. It would be a demanding task to wait upon her.
“Very well!”
Stella smiled at the four brothers as she coaxed them softly. “My four senior brothers are first-class heroes. Would
you help me this time? Anyway, it won’t take long to get to Ice Fire Island. Pretty please?”
Stella was smart and talented. Even though she was not as skilful as Yvette, she was still very good at manipulating
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpeople, especially her four senior brothers.
The Scope brothers scratched their heads after they heard their junior sister; they no longer object to that idea.
“Mother Empress.”
Yvette was very pleased with the arrangement. She turned to look at her mother and said, “Mother Empress, the
Scope brothers will take the same boat as you. Stella, Darryl and I will be in another boat. Is that alright?”
“Since you have all made the decision, so be it!” the Empress responded with indifference.
As she spoke, she looked at the four Scope brothers. Then she said coldly, “Four of you are only allowed on the
deck. I will not show you mercy if you enter the cabin.”
The Empress’s voice was not loud. However, it sounded like an authoritative command, especially her last
sentence.
The four brothers glanced at each other and nodded in agreement, but they were very upset.
“Well, we won’t go in then!”
“Yes, do you think we want to stay there with you?”
The brothers were chatterboxes, and they would not be quiet as soon as they started to talk. Finally, they closed
their mouths when Stella glared at them.
