15 Trash

One thing that should have been clear by now is that Anna has a poor brain to mouth filter, and had a pretty bad case of a potty mouth. Without thinking it through she wiped off the vomit traces.

Anger rushed through her veins, she might want to live a quieter life, away from the harsh, brutal eyes, but she was done taking shit from others, especially this weirdo with a lion bed head.

"Getcho yo nastchy assh handsh off me!" She might be taking risks now, but hell no if she was getting her pronunciation right. The last thing she wanted is to be dragged by her hair to that coldhearted emperor, claiming that she was a work of some sort of black magic.

The shocked expression that came over the lion boy's face would have been funny, if she wasn't hanging in the air with only the rough hands clutching her collar.

A strained smirk stretched the pink headed man's lips, it looked wicked, but Anastasia was not backing down, she glared back at those golden sharp eyes.

"Aren't you a feisty little one, no idea whatchu said there, but" The look on his face got darker, Anastasia gulped nervously, she hated how the child senses within her started screaming to not mess with the man, Anastasia's body flinched at the evil turn the smirk took.

"Not gonna ask for daddy to come and rescue you?" he asked mockingly, sneering at the child's face which was a hair away from his.

"Oh wait, you can't. He had abandoned you the day you were born,"

Anastasia bit her lower lip, fully glaring at the man, "Do you understand what abandoned me? Left you, never wanted you in the first place." He spelled out the word abandoned, his smirk getting cockier, words getting more painful to bear, "You are a burden to this nation, your birth is a curse, and that witch deserved the death sentence she received,"

Huh? Death sentence? What is he talking about?

"LUCAS, that is enough!" The empress finally stepped up, with a stern look on her face, Anastasia had a hard time processing the words that was thrown at her.

The confused look must have been pretty obvious as the man shook her once again, still hanging in the air.

"Wanna know why that low life of a prostitute was sentenced to death," Crystallized blue eyes widened at the narrowed amber eyes, "It was because that insisted on giving birth to a trash when his highness was clear when he said he wanted no offspring from the bag of flea, but no, that wanted you in this life and so, it was killed for disobeying his highness's orders."

As if her brain short circuited, not taking in the reason behind her mother death was…her all along?

"What, no single tear coming for you, you know that you killed your own blood?" The hand that had her in a vice grip suddenly relaxed, releasing her, she fell on the ground with a loud thud.

Anna clenched her jaw, why was she weak, the man was running his mouth loosely, and she had desire to punch the shit out of him. Anastasia could barely reach his knees, she was small.

A Weakling.

"Lucas you were way out of line," The empress voice grabbed her attention, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over her head. The empress may seem kind, but she did nothing to stop the verbal abuse.

Why would she help out an illegitimate child, especially one from her beloved husband.

'Why am I even waiting for someone to help me?!'

It was painful how weak she was, she balled her fist and looked up at the empress who's eyes shone with concern. Anna was now suspicious if the emotions that the woman was displaying was real, but that stupid pink bastard crushed every hope that the people in this world could be decent.

Her eyes fell on the maid that didn't make a move, her eyes narrowed at the slight tilt on on the hag's lips, 'She is enjoying this,'

"Before you do anything stupid, calm down," Bijou's voice snapped her from the fits of rage she was going into.

"It is natural for them to despise you, so don't rile them,"

'How can he say such things to a child, that pink son of a-'

Bijou tightened around her forearm, acting like a leash, Anna winced in pain, "Sit your ass, it is not that weird, you are the kid that wasn't supposed to be born. Or more as they didn't really care about your existence, except that Kaiser's blood is running in you."

How is that fair, she tucked her head on her chest, hiding the tears that formed in her eyes, 'I didn't ask to be born, in the first place!'

Her chubby fists shook with fury, "Anna… it might look like that I am stopping you right now from fighting back, but I am angry as well. You became a part of me the day you ate my eyes. So, when he insulted you, he insulted me! And, nobody gets to live after humiliating us,"

'Then-'

"But we can't act hasty, if we were to fight now, we'd die by the flick of his finger. Hate to admit it but lion boy oozes with strength and I have yet to restore all my powers yet. This is time to win them over and use them, then abandon them."

The tears in her eyes dried, 'Ooh, how are we going to do that?'

She could imagine the smirk that was drawn on the snake's face, "By becoming the nastiest, smelliest trash in this damn empire!"
