Chapter 104. Trouble
Liam then turned around to see the shocked faces of the crowd. Some of them were trembling with paled faces, some others were already kneeling and praying mercy for their lives.
"Madame Su," Liam looked at the old woman, but this time his voice was nowhere near condescending. "I see that your long time here had made you quite forgetful of who is the Master."
"You… Your Highness!" the old woman was tongue-tied, for the first time in many years she was feeling that she had made a terrible mistake.
"If you can't teach these servants anymore, then it's time for you to retire."
"Master…" her voice was going weak into a whisper, she wanted to beg, but she knew that it was useless.
"Jano!"
Liam shouted and a man in blue robes appeared quickly in the sky as if he was summoned.
"Your Highness, Madame," he bowed at the two beautiful figures.
"Take her and dismiss her…"
"Wait!"
Emma's voice stopped him f

"Where has Neo gone?"The Duke had finished his duty as a husband a few minutes ago and his dear wife was still sleeping in the back of the study. She was so weak right then and he liked it. At least, that way she won't go around making him worried."We hadn't found him, my lord," a man in a black mask and dark clothes kneeled before the Duke. He was one of the hidden knights of the Dukedom and probably the most outstanding of them all. "The last place we have a trace about him was the forest in the Grein City, just behind the Capital, however,…""He disappeared?""Yes, my lord, it seemed as if he had vanished.""Did you go there yourself, Sion?""Yes," the man looked up, "it is an illusion. A powerful one… someone is messing in the land of the dragons, a luriem, my lord.""Uriel, that bastard."The eyes of Liam changed almost to a dark color and again a strange thunder clouded the land.

The week he enjoyed the company of his dear wife had left numerous reports in his desk.His excuse to anyone who dared to complain was that he was on his honeymoon, though, that was a poor excuse because their little travel to the capital was considered more of a vacation than work."But…"Emma was bored, and she had not been doing anything but look around countless books in his study. He even prohibited her from using her space magic for some time as it made her so weak that she would only sleep at night and stop doing her wifely duties."Darling, we can't take any risks, you know this as well," he said.He had told her that the effects of the Rosaline fragrance were difficult to bear for low-ranking dr

"I don't want children this early…" she said after the crazy Duke let her rest for a few minutes in their bed."Why?"He knew she was concerned about the Rosaline Fragrance and his affection, but even though, he wanted for her to want to stay with him. Even he was not sure about his true feelings, but there was no way he will let her go."We should wait…" Emma said again, but she didn't turn around to face him. She knew that he was well aware of the reason.He kissed her back and nodded, "I will wait for you."He knew that he was not being fair to her, but he had already made up his mind.

"When are you going to comply with our deal, Miss Gia?"Gia was still residing in her mansion in the Capital when unexpectedly, a figure of a man entered her sight. His long hair and beautiful features were always a beautiful sight to see. However, for Gia, he didn't bring anything but bad news."Miss Gia?"She closed the door without letting her maids come inside."I want to be alone," she said to the two girls, and they looked at each other and waited for her a few steps from the door.Uriel was elegantly sipping his tea as if he were the owner of the place. She knew that he was beautiful, much more than any woman in Avalor and maybe the whole world, but Gia didn't like him. Not an inch.Even if the refined features of his face coupled with his exquisite manners could drive crazy any woman. However, Gia knew that this man would never look at anyone less outstanding as his own image.So narcissistic and at the same

"The gardens are beautiful around here," Emma was enjoying her time exploring the Dukedom's land. After a good bath and a satisfying breakfast, she was in the mood to entertain herself with a walk around the gardens.It felt so refreshing and pure that she could sleep under the shade of a tree for a few minutes. However, at the same time, she felt out of place. She didn't know why, but whenever she reached the walls surrounding the quarters, she felt trapped, almost without air.Her eyes instinctively looked around, to the maids and guards, 'They are watching me.'The servants looked at her from time to time, their inquisitive and curious looks came out without them noticing.Even with all the colorful flowers, trees full of life, beautiful stone bridges, and ponds with little fishes, Emma could still feel that her peace and calm were disturbed by the soft murmurs.

"Who else knows about this?" Liam's voice didn't show any sign of anxiousness, but the coldness and anger were present in his gaze. His eyes had transformed into a raging red, an ominous red that could bring disaster to whoever dared to cross his path. "Speak!" Ilian gulped a bit and shook his head. "I don't know how many more received the notice, Your Highness. However, I heard the rumors about it being a joke to make Her Highness look bad in the eyes of the public. There is a saying that many nobles are opposing your marriage to her and are trying to dirty her image. However, I don't know who posted the reward note, but it originated in the south…" "Where?" "Three families in the South, from the faction of Duke Feiras." Liam narrowed his eyes, he knew that man very well, and nothing concerning him or his allies was good news.
