Eric looked around for Ruby. He found her limping to a broken table. She was massaging her injured leg. “Ruby are you okay?” asked Eric who was running towards her. Ruby nodded. “Here let me help you,” said Eric who was kneeling down to help her take off her shoe. Ruby flinched at his touch. She was confused as he was trying to help her. He was not the person to show anyone any feelings. So why is he showing her kindness? Eric was startled at her withdrawal and looked up at her. He saw her worried face. "What's wrong?" In the past, Ruby remembered an incident similar to this. She fell and twisted her ankle. Instead of Eric helping her, he stepped on her ankle, injuring her even more. "Nothing," replied. "Then why are you withdrawing from me?" "I don't want you to hurt me." "What?" "When we were kids, I injured my foot. I took off my shoe to show you, but you stepped on my ankle breaking it.” Eric remember he was pushed from behind and stepped on her. He didn’t mean to, bu
Ruby who saw them together didn’t bother to look at them. Instead, she turned to look at Empress Dowager. She thought that it was a good thing that the assassins did come in when they did. For now, she is a lot closer to the Empress Dowager. It will give her a chance to actually ask the real reason why she look like her Grandmother Willow. No, to be exact, they look exactly alike. The only differences is their attitude, personality, and the way they talk.“Ruby?” asked Crown Prince Adam.“Huh?” answered Ruby who turned to look at him.Eric saw Ruby looking at Adam and he got upset. He didn’t want her to look other men, even if it’s his own brother.They were actively talking to each other. “I’m saying that you got quite a unique spiritual power.”“Oh, thanks.”“Who taught you?”“Taught?”“Yeah.”“Umm... I was born with it.”“Oh, I didn’t know that you had spiritual powers.”“Well, no one knows.”“She’s born with an imbalance of spiritual powers, that is why she was render a trash,” s
“Eric, you should let me take her,” said Crown Prince Adam.“Why?” gritted Eric.“Because Samantha is here.”“And?”“Well, don’t you-” He saw Eric's cold and decided not to say anything else. "Nevermind. Carry on." “We will take our leave now,” said Eric. “Eric,” said Samantha. “What about me?”“Go home.”“You heard him, now go home,” said Elijah.Samantha was boiling with rage as Eric carried Ruby away. She stomped out of the palace.“Good riddance. She’s being more and more annoying since the announcement of their marriage,” said Adian.“Yeah. Can’t believe Eric is going to marry her,” said Elijah.“Women.” “Say that again,” said Empress Dowager.They both looked at their grandmother.“You shouldn’t say that in front of a woman, especially your grandmother,” said Theo.They both laughed and turned away. “Hey! This calls for a celebration,” said Elijah.“What?” asked Adian.“The Empress Dowager is saved, found out we have a rare talent in Dragon Empire, and we beat the bad guys.”
“How are you feeling?” sigh Eric not wanting to argue with Ruby.“Exhausted.”Eric pulled her into his arm and said, “Then get some rest. I will be here.”Ruby thought it was odd of him to be nice to her. Usually after sex he would just stare at her, and they would both just end up falling asleep. There’s usually no words. If there was anything else, it would be more sex. Tired and exhausted she slept in his arms.The next following morning, Ruby found that her ankle was much better. Putting pressure on her feet, she was able to walk around without any pain. She got up and showered and put on her new dress. It was a light green color that brought out her blue eyes. The dress was showing off her slender body, and the opening of her dress was showing off her breasts.Ruby got out of the room, to look for Eric. He got up early in the morning and she didn’t get a chance to say thanks for his help yesterday. Touching her lips, she remembers how he kissed her passionately right before he l
The competition started with two hundred women, and one of them is Samantha. Each of the participating women have their own look, beauty, and talents. It was a furious battle among the ladies as some of them used wicked tricks and evil schemes to win through the filtering system. Some of them even went as far as cheating. Ruby was amazed that so many women would go to such extreme measures to obtain the Beauty Treasure Map. Ruby planned on winning the Beauty Competition, but she wasn’t interested in the Treasure of Beauty. Ruby knows that she have good genes, and already being so beautiful such small secret is worthless to her. It was useless to her, as it was created by her Grandmother Willow. She knew all the remedies to her Grandmother Willow's secret formula. Ruby did find some flaws in her Grandmother Willow’s remedies, but since Ruby is skill in alchemy and herbal skills, she perfected her Grandmother Willow’s remedies for her own use. She created a successful serum to use for
“Your woman, or your ex-fiancée is stealing the show,” said Adian.“What?” question Eric as his eyebrows raised up.Adian pointed to the stage. Eric, confused by his words looked up at the stage and saw Ruby.Ruby was playing her zither.Eric’s eyes widened with shock as she played the music beautifully. Her hands moved swiftly and gently with the rhyme. She looked stunning as she played her song. Her white and blue dress floated around her that she looked like a Goddess. Adian pointed to the stage. Eric, confused by his statement, also looked up at the stage and saw Ruby.Ruby was playing her zither.Eric’s eyes widened with shock as she played the music beautifully. She looked stunning on stage.“You should really close your mouth,” said Elijah.“What?” asked Eric whose mouth was gasping at her beauty.“I can see you drooling.”“No, I’m not. You’re drooling.”“Oh, Eric. Are you finally regretting? Because she’s all that everyone is talking about nowadays.”Eric’s face became cold,
“Wow! Wow! The judges will decide and tomorrow we will be down to three beauties,” said the stage master. The next day Ruby and two other women made it through to the next stage. Samantha on the other hand did not. She was shouting in rage that the whole judging system was rigged. "Eric! Eric!" exclaimed Samantha. She was running to Eric, wanting him to seek justice for her. She was stomping mad and yelling at the top of her lungs. Ruby on the other side was enjoying Samantha’s tantrum and anger. She laughed at Samantha as she was becoming hysterical. “Fairy Princess, that woman is so crazy,” said Tabitha. “Of course, she is,” replied Ruby. “Fairy Princess, are you going to try to win tomorrow?” Eric looked startled at Samantha's tantrum. Have she always been like this? She was making such a big scene that it was becoming rather embarrassing. How had he never seen this side of her before? Eric frowns at Samantha. Samantha stopped her stomping and blushed red immediately. "What
“But now it’s too late for him. It’s his loss,” said Elijah. “Yes. It’s fair game now,” said Crown Prince Adam. “Ruby, you are indeed a beautiful woman. Sadly, someone didn’t see it before,” said Adian. Eric frowned. “Ruby do tell me if you find any man suitable to your taste, I will send words and arrange the wedding myself,” chuckled Empress Dowager. “Ruby!” shouted Theo. He hugged her and said, “I knew you won!” “Godfather, what are you doing here?” “Finding you a good husband.” “Huh?” “Well now, you will have many suitors coming to ask for your hand in marriage, the palace won’t be at peace for a while.” Ruby laughed. "Oh." Eric couldn't believe that she was accepting his grandfather's ridiculous idea. Hearing his grandfather's words caused him immeasurable pain. He clenched his hands tightly into a fist. He was trying to keep his cold appearance so as not to show his emotions. That night Ruby was finally able to escape the crowds and went back to the Forbidden Mount
