the emperor already knew that The Crown Prince used to terat Helen badly ,but he closed his eye towards that because he was sure that Helen would never allow to break of the engagement as she was obsessed with the Crown Prince .He thought ot would be good for the Crown Prince to keep the Sulgae family close too .
The sudden proposal for annulment of the engagement was a shock for the emperor too .
"duke , are you sure you want to annul the engagement, i think we should leave this upto the decision of children " The emperor spoke.
[The Mackil Dukedome was powerful as they managed all the businesses and were basicaly the bank of the empire , so the emperor had no right of forcing something his wish on the Mackil Dukedome. ]
"I agree your majesty ,i would bring my daughter to you and let her decide what to do , i think we should make this decision soon as i dont want any rumors of my daughter being in a loveless engagement to spread any farther ."
"ohh ,i see so how about inviting your daughter next time you visit ,the emperor suggested with a sour expression.
"no need to wait that long your majesty ,my daughter is also attending the tea party empress organised today , i would send my knights to call for her , lets end this engagement today itself "

The Crown Prince never imagined or thought in his dreams that Helen , who was madly in love with him would propose the annulment of marriage herself .
even the empress couldn't believe a girl who stood silent even when being insulted suddenly retaliated back and now want to cancel the engagement with her precious son .
Clivat's face which was pale before brightened up , innocent Clivat thought now that Helen is no more in love with Crown Prince , she can take him all to herself and become his wife .
" what ...what do you mean by annulment, we are engaged by political reasons , how can you just withdraw as you wish ?" Crown prince asked .
he was all tensed up. he couldn't accept that the little girl , who he always ignored now since young wants to break of her relation with him .
" political reasons ? do you think house Mackil could be restrained with some political reason and pressure?" Helen glared at the prince and smiled coldly.
" dont think, i will see you differently or start loving you just because you try playing cat and mouse !. i wont love you ever , my only lover is Clivat " the Crown Prince shouted .
Clivat Blushed .
" Be quite and mind your manners " The empress warned the Crown prince
"Dear Miss Helen , you dont have to feel upset because of some foolish words of the Prince , my son will slowly but surely love you " the empress tried to relax the atmosphere by putting on an awkward smile.
all the other ladies were enjoying this scene .
At that time the knight the empror sent arrived ,
"greeting the moon of the empire"
greeting to the little sun of the empire " He greeted the crown prince and empress then he asked miss helen to accompany him as the emperor wishes to see her .
"Ohh i guess my father already brought up the proposal of annulment to the emperor , please excuse me your majesty ,crown prince and pretty ladies . i would go and confirm the emperor's doubts" saying this helen stood up from her seat .
" wait ,i will also come " the crown prince also walked towards the knight .
He turned back and gave his farewell to Her majesty and Lady Clivat .
