The letter Rebecca sent to Poliana contained slightly different messages than those sent to Tory and Stra. “I want to ask you to take care of my child, but I won’t. You should not try to take responsibility for anyone else except yourself. Be greedier and happier. That is all I ask of you.” Poliana never expected even her dead friend to force happiness on her. She looked at the letter quietly. It felt as if Rebecca was whispering the words in her ear. Poliana’s eyes teared up so she quickly…-

Chapter 350 Everyone welcomed Poliana’s and the emperor’s union. There were some who believed it was truly a love match while others believed it was a political marriage. The main thing was that no one was against the idea. Everyone was ready to accept Empress Poliana Clair. Poliana became a little bitter and lonely. People said to her that her effort was finally paying off. They told her that she was finally going to be acknowledged for her hard work. But… This wasn’t what she worked for. This…

Chapter 349 Poliana couldn’t accept this situation. It was too unfair. It was true that the emperor also faced some difficulties, but what he had to endure if they got married could not compare to how much she would have to suffer. Pouting, Poliana said to him, “Your highness, you don’t actually lose anything from this relationship.” Everyone in the world thought it made sense for Poliana to be the one who gave up in order to make this marriage work. Even worse, Poliana herself thought the same…

Chapter 348 The next day, Lucius the First woke up before Poliana this time. The emperor didn’t get much sleep last night. Just the fact that Poliana was sleeping next to him… He was so happy that he didn’t want to miss a moment. Lucius the First quietly drew down the bed canopy so Poliana could not be bothered by the sunlight. He tried his best not to make any noise, but Poliana, who was a very light sleeper, opened her eyes. Lucius the First tried to give her a morning kiss, but he was stopped…

Chapter 347 If the emperor left her alone, Poliana’s reflexes would’ve kicked in and she would’ve been fine, but Lucius the First tried to help and this surprised her even more than anything. Poliana thought about pointing this out, but she kept her mouth shut. The night sky was full of stars and underneath it, Lucius the First’s face moved closer to her. He was still holding her wrist while his other hand was supporting her neck. ‘I’m trapped,’ Poliana thought suddenly. Just as she…

Chapter 346 “Then you should’ve explained it better. Let’s be honest here. If a man offers to feed and clothe a woman and tell her that he won’t let her sleep that night, everyone will think the same thing as I did. Right guys?” Poliana looked around and asked the musicians who were hiding around the gazebo. They have been waiting for a long time on standby. These musicians were supposed to start playing when the emperor began to dance with Poliana, but it seemed that things weren’t going…

Chapter 345 Lady Siming tried to make Poliana feel better, “Marquess Winter, you may be unmarried yet, but you aren’t a young girl anymore, so we need to emphasize your elegance and maturity…” But the truth was, the other ladies in their thirties still did their best to look fragile and feminine. Even some married women with three kids still wore veils to emphasize their girlishness, while here was Poliana, who was a single woman but needed to “show off” her maturity. Poliana couldn’t help…

Chapter 344 Lady Siming asked Poliana, “See, Marquess? This is your favorite color, right? The accessories are very simple but elegant, right?” “Yeah, it’s very pretty but when did I ever say I like blue?” Lady Siming’s eyes widened in confusion and fear. Didn’t Poliana insist only on blue dresses before? “D-do you hate it?” “No, I just don’t have a favorite color, that’s all” It was obvious that Poliana only insisted on blue, not because it was her favorite color, but…

Chapter 343 “Marquess, please breathe normally.” Even though Lady Siming told Poliana she could stand comfortably, Poliana refused to relax her stomach. She continued to hold her breath as long as she could, making Lady Siming sigh. “Marquess Winter, you’re very slim even without you holding your stomach in.” “But I have gained weight recently. I have a potbelly.” “No, you don’t. In fact, Marquess, you’re still too thin; It would be nice if you gain a little more weight.” “No…

Chapter 342 Poliana frowned. The deep wrinkles on her forehead made her look mature and regal. Last night, she didn’t get to sleep until early in the morning. Since it was her habit to wake up early, Poliana ended up waking up without much sleep at all. Whatever sleep she got was not enough. Poliana felt horrible. ‘I’m so tired.’ She felt both physically and emotionally fatigued. Poliana could feel herself aging. Getting old was not a fun experience. After an aggressive breakfast, Poliana sat…
