THE WASTED QUEEN
Chapter 84 - Anastasia

After traveling for several days, Aaron and Alexa finally arrived in Axios. The two were greeted by Viona who greeted their arrival in a friendly manner.

“Welcome back in glorious Axios,”.

“Happy you guys can come back safely.”

Aaron just nodded, didn't say much, and chose to enter with Alexa, leaving Viona in front of the palace gate. The rejection she received made Viona upset.

In order not to get angry, Viona chose to turn her mind to her son. He began to stroke his growing stomach.

“Be a good son, my son. Everyone will love you,” he said.

After that, Viona returned to the concubine's palace. At that moment, he heard that his father had come to visit him. Unaccompanied by the maid, Viona walked alone towards the palace.

As she wanted to open the door of her room, Viona heard a faint sound from inside her room. He ignored his intentions and tried to listen to the conversation.

“Thank you for your help, Anastasia. I will look forward to my daughter becoming empress,” said the father.

“It's an easy thing, sir. After all, that woman did not deserve to be empress. She is not suitable to give birth to the successor Axios,” Anastasia replied.

Viona was shocked to hear the conversation.

What are they talking about? Vionas.

“Remember, this will be our secret. Do not let people know that we are behind the miscarriage of the woman,” said the father.

Viona was surprised to hear the words of her father. He did not believe that his father who had been a firm and honest man in his work did this.

So, all this time, Freya? Vionas.

“No, dad. Why are you doing this?” viona protests.

Without thinking, at that moment, he opened the door of his room violently, leaving his father and Anastasia shocked.

Viona looked at her father with anger and disappointment. The woman approached the two. “Dad, why are you doing this?”

“Tell me why are you that bad?” connect Viona.

Viona looked at Anastasia, who was looking down embarrassed. “You, you get out of here. I don't want to see your face again in front of me!”

“I'm sorry-”

“No! I've always thought you were a good woman. I think Freya was the one who mistook your kindness for bad. But it turns out he was right, you're a demon! Go!”

Anastasia looked down respectfully, then immediately left the room.

“Dad, why are you quiet? Why are you doing this?” Viona was getting annoyed.

“Yes, I did this because of you. I did this so that your desire to become empress materialized, Viona,” finally revealed the reason.

“I do want the position of empress, but I will never do anything as evil as that,” replied Viona firmly.

“If I don't do this, let's not sit in the empress position, sit in the concubine position you never will, Viona,” said the father.

“Yes, it's better for me than having to destroy someone else's future" Viona replies again.

“I'll tell the emperor.”

“Praak!” suddenly, the father slaps Viona.

“You realize what you're saying? If the emperor finds out, not only me, but you'll be at the stake, Viona. Don't ever say this to anyone if you don't want to see dad die.”

The father just left his daughter's room, leaving Viona alone there. Viona sat on the floor. “I do want the position of the empress, but this is not the way," she said in tears.

“Even if I become an empress, I will still never be able to replace Freya in the hearts of the emperor or the people of Axios. I do hate him, but he is truly sincere about his love for the emperor and Axios. Not like me who just wants fame and honor,”.

...****************...

Two days later, Freya and Violet arrive at the port of Axios. It was late, and Violet took Freya and her two sons to her home.

There, Violet was so worried about the condition of her sister that she did not dare to open the door. But then Violet's third sister opened the door and said that Violet's second sister had recovered and was asleep in her room.

Elsewhere, an old woman had just finished reading the contents of a short letter from Elena. He was so happy to look at the letter and bottle of poison that Elena had sent.

“The sword alone will not be enough to kill you, but this poison?” he said with a slanted grin.

“It's time for us to take revenge.”

The woman looked into the mirror, realizing that she was ready for revenge. He tells himself that he, Anastasia, will take revenge for Elena.

The thing that not many people know about Anastasia is that she is the aunt of Elena and Selene. He was the younger brother of Elena's father, and both were illegitimate sons of the previous emperor Trodeim.

But from birth, Anastasia lived in a different place to live with her brother. He and his mother lived in the slums of Axios, many things he had been through on his own, until fate brought him together with a nobleman.

Her life changed after she became a couple's wife and prince's nanny for decades. But everything changes when he hears of the brother's destruction, and Elena's suffering.

Revenge filled him, and he vowed to finish off the people who worked together to conquer Trodeim and kill the brother.

Anastasia recalled the moment Viona's father came out of her daughter's room in a fit of rage. He actually deliberately invited Duke to work together and deliberately lured Duke to talk in his daughter's room.

“Their relationship has stretched,” thought Anastasia.

“If that was the case, how could he possibly help his daughter?”

“Ha ha, soon Axios will be destroyed,” he said with a slanted smile.

Actually, Anastasia doesn't really hate Freya. Their similar background made Anastasia feel sympathy for him. However, his hatred towards Axios was greater than that.

"It's a shame that I have to make you suffer for my plan" Anastasia said.

"We will see how you will be destroyed" he added.
