Zale had no choice but to take Darya at his home, along with the two men with her. He felt like he needed to talk it out so he would be safe from being discovered by many. And at this moment, he feels like he cannot run away with this woman. This is why he is nervous.
“Please understand that I mean no harm to you, sir.” Darya knows that the young man is wary of her.Zale bit his lips to encourage himself to be brave. He is now certain that he cannot live without Mister Hamana as his guide but now that he is alone, he needs to build himself and be independent for the sake of Mister Hamana.“Please tell me what you want to know about the gods,” Zale spoke, “but I need you to not tell anyone about me.” He looked at the man sitting beside the door and then to the tall man who is guarding outside his house. He can clearly tell that he was being watched by the two. They are even well prepared to attack once he does something. So he needs to be careful.Zale opened the door for the one who knocked as he expected that person to come. So then a smile formed in his lips upon seeing the Emperor’s face again.“Good morning, Your Majesty.” He lowered his head and opened the door wider to invite her in.“Good morning as well, Mister Zale.” She comes in as she removes the hood of her cloak.Zale was confused to see her alone. She usually comes with one of her consorts or with an Imperial knight. He followed her to his small living area. “You seemed to have come alone,” he started the conversation.“Yes and I would not take a while because I have to do something. I would like to ask you a question.”Zale nodded his head, still unable to look straight in her eyes because of the fourteen appearances he can see whenever he looks at her. This is his first time to have met a person with this number of lives. Now he wonders how she lived her life in different lives? And what is with that light within h
Everyone was panicking with the disappearance of the Emperor. Inside the Court Room, there was Count Marshall who was patiently waiting for the Emperor to come. There were also the two young masters of the Marshal Family who were laughing with Lorenzo’s embarrassing situation. There was Duke Esteban who could not take his eyes off Lorenzo. There was General Theobarlt who remained calm. And Lorenzo who was making a good face, trying to not lose his temper because he felt like he was being stood up by the Emperor because of her disappearance just before their ceremony.After thirty minutes of standing there, the Emperor finally arrived at the Court Room. She is wearing his knight uniform but with an Imperial cloak. She walked past her consorts before coming to the altar to face Lorenzo, her soon to be fourth consort.“Please start the ceremony,” she commanded, making Lorenzo and Count Marshall sigh in relief that the ceremony was not cancelled.The Priest started the ceremony, made them
Emperor Darya and General Theobarlt arrived at the feast in the Imperial garden. As soon as she came to their sight, all the waiting consorts stood up. So then, General Theobarlt guided her to her seat before going to the seat next to Reginald. The arrangement of the seats is according to the order of their marriage. In the first opposite seats next to the Emperor were for the first and second consort. While the second opposite seats next to the first opposite seats were for the third and fourth consort. This is making Duke Esteban sit across Reginald and General Theobarlt across Lorenzo.Emperor Darya looks at the direction of Duke Esteban to which Lorenzo is sitting by his side. No matter how she looked at it, it was just like the sight during her second life. She can see the resemblance of the two. Others might not have noticed their little resemblance but she spent her life in her first life loving Esteban. She knows every little of his appearance and every little detail of his ha
As soon as Darya came inside Desmonde’s room, seeing him just took off his uniform to rest, she had no time to waste as she had been craving for his touch all day. Desmonde was quite shocked when he heard the door open since he did not expect Darya to come. But after seeing Darya walking close, he let her come to him, grabbed his head and pulled him to capture his lips. Darya was clearly impatient because she gobbled his mouth without hesitation. She gripped his hair tight when she wrapped her arms around his neck so she could reach him. If Darya does this, he could not hold back anymore.He lifted her up from the bottom, not making her leave his lips. Maybe he was intensified with Darya’s kiss that he just walked where his foot took him. So then Darya’s back touched the windows, slightly giving her a touch of cold but she was too focused on touching Desmonde’s biceps as she found his nipples and stroked it.The shivers from Darya’s strokes in his nipples give chills all over his body
When Darya woke up the next morning, General Theobarlt’s room was already cleaned by himself. The room smells so fresh just like his fragrant, her favourite. When she got up, General Theobarlt was on the balcony who had received a message from the barracks with the help of their trained eagle.Sensing that she got up from bed, he let go of the eagle after making a small written command. So he comes inside the room to see Darya, drinking the contraceptive tea he prepared for her. He immediately smiled and walked towards her to kiss her head.“How do you feel?”“I am alright. It is manageable. Where did you get clothes?”“I asked the maids to get one from your room.”“I feel refreshed, did you bathe me?”“I was worried to wake you up so I just washed your body with a wet towel. And then I dressed you up.”Darya nodded as she put her hand around his waist. She leaned her head to his chest. There was a bit of silence and General Theobarlt stayed with her longer. Until then, after a few mi
The night came for their dinner, Captain Silla was looking at the wine being poured in the glass by the waiter. She would take a look at Lorenzo’s face and then to their surroundings that are organized and quiet. It was a famous luxurious restaurant in the town of the Marquis Estate. This is where international transactions are always being held as it is designed with exquisite style that wealthy people like. She knows about this place because she assisted the Emperor before as a maid.All she has in her mind is to figure out what Lorenzo is thinking. And for the reason of being careful, she does not plan on doing anything. She will not eat or drink anything and be cautious of her surroundings.When everything was served, Lorenzo was the first one to take the glass of wine and raised it to toast. For damn courtesy, she took the glass of wine and clanged it on his’. She did not drink and just watched him drink his wine. And he did not budge.“Looking back when we were young, you used t
The Emperor is as busy as usual with the national estate. She would always lone herself in her office and would go out when it was time for a meal. And just as everyone got used to, whenever the General is at the Imperial Palace, she would always not forget to have a meal with him. Because of this repetitive manner within three consecutive years, all palace workers regarded General Theobarlt as “The Emperor’s Favourite Concubine”. General Theobarlt is the most popular among all of Emperor Darya’s consorts. He was ignored because of his style before but when he trimmed his hair and changed his hairstyle, no woman would resist to not turn their eyes to him as he looked specifically manly and attractive. He had a good body build and he is tall. It is not just his face that is striking and mouth-watering but also his personality. Among all of the Emperor’s consorts, he is the kindest of them all. Although General Theobarlt is undoubtedly loyal to the Emperor, many women still had tried
In the end, the Emperor did not let Captain Marshall go back to his unit and just sent him to the Consort’s Palace to rest. Captain Marshall was still in a puzzled state when he realized that he was lying on a bed, looking at the ceiling. He does not know what he is feeling as he looks at his bandaged injury that was wrapped by the Emperor herself. He could feel slight pain but it is manageable. However, what keeps lingering in his mind is his inability to describe his feelings.What is this? Why… does he feel comfort?It was a novel feeling for someone like him. All the days he lived in his younger years, he was abused in the Marshall Estate whenever Count Marshall was away. His step older brothers and step mother would never let him rest for a bit when he is alone. They would make him do things a maid should do. They would feed him rotten food. They would always make him an errand boy. It is not just the ridicule that he keeps being patient of, it is also the constant beating from h
