Chapter 598 A Prophecy (Part Two)
"d to hear that, Andy. I too think the same," the emperor said with an enormous smile. "After taking
the Longevity Pills, I feel I am loaded with energy. I never feel tired, however hard I stress my body."
"Your Majesty, although the Longevity Pills are doing their job, you''d better take care of yourself," Andy
said with a smile. "Your Majesty, are you willing to choose ady as yourpany today?"
"No. Today I will be going to Sherry''s pce," the emperor said slowly. Sherry was willful at times, but
she was never aggressive. Over the years, she had been taking care of Francis. Now that Francis was
getting better, she had more free time.
"Yes, Your Majesty. As you please! I''m going to inform Lady Sherry right away…"
"That''s unnecessary. I''ll go straight there," the emperor said with a smile. He liked Sherry because she
had a character. She never struggled against otherdies, neither for his favor nor for power. Also,
Francis'' performance gave him a sense of satisfaction. Moreover, due to the effect of the Longevity
Pills, he felt like he was at least ten years younger and was full of vigor. Thus, he felt very happy.
In the Spring Pce, Sherry frowned tightly, reading the message she had just received. Francis had
been caught in the rain over two hours in Matthew''s mansion and even fainted. She felt enraged and
confused. Even though Matthew was powerful and Harper had sessfully treated Francis and thus
saved him, the chances of them trying to harm Francis were grim. After all, Francis had not recovered
yet. Sherry was afraid that some lingering effects would be left, and that might cause severe
consequences.
"How is Francis now? Is he okay?" Sherry asked worriedly. "Is there anything serious?"
"Lady Sherry, Prince Francis went to sleep as soon as he returned to his mansion, but he didn''t look
that good. Owen said that Prince Francis had a cold, but refused to take any medicine. Owen couldn''t
do anything about it."
While Sherry was angry and worried, a maid came in to report to her, "Lady Sherry, His Majesty is
here."
"His Majesty…" Sherry mumbled as she was quite surprised. She quickly stood up and went outside to
wee the emperor. As the emperor approached the Spring Pce, she greeted, "Your Majesty."
"Arise please. Don''t be too polite, my darling," the emperor said, while supporting Sherry up by himself.
"I''ve justpleted the review of all reports. I came here to have a taste of the cakes you make."
"Certainly, Your Majesty. Please wait for a while, as I''m going to make…"
"I can''t bear seeing you making them by yourself," the emperor said, as he kissed on the palm of hers
that he was holding. "In fact, I don''t miss the cakes, but you."
Although Sherry was nearly forty years old, she looked much younger. The emperor''s words made her
blush immediately. She walked along with the emperor into the Spring Pce. They looked like a loving
couple still in their twenties, and would have made anyone envious.
"Humph! The tail is wagging the dog!" Cheryl snorted coldly as she passed by the gate of the Spring
Pce. "She is an elderly woman of fading charms, but is still shameless enough to upy His
Majesty."
"Cheryl, you know what? His Majesty has been doting on Lady Sherry so much recently, while all other
ladies have been neglected," another young maid said in a low voice. "People who don''t know the
situation in the Imperial Pce would think that Lady Sherry is the one in charge of the imperial
harem."
"She doesn''t deserve it!" Cheryl eximed. She was just a first-ss maid working for the empress.
When Felix was ced under house arrest, the empress too was left out in the cold by the emperor.
Earlier, the Sleek Pce had been bustling with people, but no more. On the contrary, Sherry''s Spring
Pce had be the center of attention for everyone.
The young maid led Cheryl to a remote path and said, "Cheryl, there is something you don''t know. His
Majesty is not attracted by Lady Sherry herself, but by those pretty personal maids working for her."
A tinge of surprise shed across Cheryl''s eyes. "Are you implying that Lady Sherry uses her beautiful
maids to win over His Majesty? How could it work?"
Getting closer to Cheryl, the young maid whispered in her ears, "Of course it works. His Majesty is very
much fond of a maid named Minna, who works by Lady Sherry''s side. You''re even more beautiful than
Minna. It was only because His Majesty was angry with Her Majesty that she had the chance to show
up in front of His Majesty."
The young maid''spliments made Cheryl feel thrilled. But Cheryl''s anger was not without reason.
The empress was really in a bad mood recently. So, her personal maids were having a hard time,
especially Cheryl, who had been criticized and punished by the emperor for multiple times.

"Well, I guess it''s not a good time to mention it now…"
"Isn''t that Minna, the maid I just mentioned to you about?" the young maid said in a surprised tone.
"What is she doing there secretly?"
Cheryl felt confused and curious. Right at that moment, the young maid was called away by another
maid. The young maid hastily said goodbye to Cheryl and left with the maid who called her.
Since Cheryl had just heard about Minna from the young maid, she was curious. Wondering what
Minna was doing there, she walked towards there quietly. However, she was shocked as she reached
closer.
She saw Minna using a voodoo doll in the Cold Pce.
Inside the Imperial Pce or outside, anything rted to voodoo was a taboo for everyone. If anybody
was caught while using a voodoo doll, the person would surely be doomed to death. A glimmer of
cruelty shed across Cheryl''s eyes. She rushed inside the Cold Pce and grabbed Minna. "You
bitch, how dare you use such a filthy thing in the Imperial Pce? I will report it to Her Majesty right
away. You will be punished!"
