Chapter 3
"Damn him! How does he dare to insult our mother?!" Dina cursed angrily after we exited the dining room .
Dina's servant and Daisy chased after us from behind, but they did not dare to interrupt our conversation .
"Calm down, Dina . " I said softly while pulling her away from the room . "You know that he has always been like that . "
"But that is not a reason to insult our mother! And father too! Not only he did not defend our mother, but he also ordered us to leave! It's unfair!"
"Sigh…" I sighed deeply and let Dina vent . Compared to me, my elder sister is the one who suffers the most due to the discrimination in our family . I don't care a bit about my family's thoughts about me, but Dina is unable to do the same . She had always desired the acknowledgment of our father .
Unfortunately, due to our birth and that our mother died many years ago, our standing before father is a bit awkward .
The reason because Bryan called my mother a slut is also due to it .
Before marrying our father, our mother was the daughter of a minor noble . She entered the palace to work as a maidservant and there, she met our father .
Back then, our father was already married to my stepmother, Lilia, and my first brother had been born . But because our father was obsessed with mother, he ignored Lilia, my first brother, and the words of the court, and insisted on marrying our mother as his second wife .
To be honest, Him marrying our mother would not have been much of a problem if she was just a concubine . After all, polygamy is something common in the empire . But when he insisted on making my mother the second empress, many opposed to it .
After all, mother standing was not high enough to be a queen, and another queen meant changing completely the political map of the empire .
Due to it, many people in the empire called my mother a slut that seduced the emperor and clouded his judgment .
While our mother was alive, it was not much of a problem . With her title as queen and the emperor's support, nobody dared to call my mother a slut openly .
But when she died, things changed completely .
The emperor felt guilty towards his first empress, Lilia, due to marrying my mother, so he closed an eye when she scolded us while it was not something too overboard .
But though things were bearable at the beginning, with the time, our standing in the palace and the kingdom fell greatly, and after some time, some people, especially my second brother, began to call our mother a slut openly .
The emperor, of course, was enraged; but he did not chastise my second brother due to the guilt he felt towards the empress .
So, the situation continued worsening .
Now, our relationship with our other siblings is almost one of mortal enemies .
I continued pulling my elder sister by her hand and brought her to a room . I then closed the door and told Daisy and the other servant to not let anyone inside . Once alone with her, I looked at my sister helplessly and sighed in worry .
"Why did you always lose your temper so easily, Dina? I told you that it's better if you ignore him . You even used magic this time!"
