Chapter 644: Not everyone is cut out for marriage and that's ok

"Do you know what will happen if you stepped down?" he inquired in the same distant tone. "Once you gave up the position, you get banished from the empire. The least of your concern is the people in here. But... it will surely incite anger from the Karo Kingdom."

Florence laughed weakly. "Is there any difference?" she asked, almost in a mocking tone. "It is only been one year since I became your empress, but everyone is already blaming me for not bearing an heir."

"So, that is the problem?" Rufus rocked his head, keeping silent for a moment. "Then I will go to your chambers tonight."
