They didn't know the road where they were running from. It took them almost three kilometers to know that the path they were running to is the path to the dangerous 'soul forest' that legends say where the dead bodies of the history's war warriors got threw in.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA3jjhIgrd
'Damn it, we lost our way!' The emperor cursed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTofE2SkOMu
They could faintly hear the groans of such creatures they encountered but still, they ran so fast like they're not going to be exhausted. Suddenly, Fern got tripped and fall off because it was so dark she almost couldn't see the path at all. The coachman and Logan stopped, helping her to stand up.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iClJ6pXSx
"I'm alright!" Fern exclaimed with a determined voice as they continued to run. It only made Logan frowned more.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMjvZfa2eS
"Can't you run without getting tripped everytime?!" Logan gritted his teeth, recalling the times that Fern seemed to have a ridiculous curse of tripping everytime. Most of the time they meet and have a place to head on, she's consistently tripping.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkciLGBKEw
"I can't!" Fern whined. Seeing Logan's hazel eyes flickered with rage when he gazed at her, her face twisted and became indifferent.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmfEeMx5XE
Logan breathe in and out with outrage and got so done with her so he only snorted and clicked his tongue.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeROdPtWnZ
The coachman beside them that's also running got startled. His face was paled and trembling with nervousness but can't help to feel different that he's not existing beside them at all. The coachman heard rumors that the emperor hates the empress, he couldn't help but to feel sorry for her, but the empress seemed to not mind it at all.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19AiW25IBR
Everyone in the empire was sometimes have a thought if the empress was feeling upset after she married the emperor. The coachman, seeing that there's no upset-ness at all and the empress was more like an annoying woman for him, just gulped.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQNjuSesrv
Logan saw a cave and thought that's the perfect place to hide and rest, said with a shouting voice pointing to it, "Get in the cave!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPjC95PZT6
After they entered the cave with a loud sound of breathing's exhaustion, Logan draws an invisible wall to the entrance of the cave. The coachman, on the other hand, loss consciousness in exhaustion so Fern did is to lay him straight and let him rest.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcfN9apmE8
When Fern leaned on the wall, also exhausted, she took out a long deep breath. It was the first time this occured. She can't believe she fought beside him. What a surprised, really.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kajzzzAFD
Fern looked at the Logan after he finished putting an invisible wall at the entrance of the cave. He lighted up a blue fame in his palm to produce a light in the darkness of the cave and gathered wood sticks to create a bonfire. Some bats flew off the rock ceiling off the cave which made some of dust fall off and she coughed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0UketogHG
After a minute of silence, Fern blurted, "We really must meet the wizard."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcqjxYURo8
Logan thought so too. They're suspicious that all the worry in the wizard's letter was about this kind of things. Those creatures...it look like it came back from the death and their eyes was flickering rage with red. They're full of blood that scattered in their bodies and they have a strength that could throw out a single bulky man. But not him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TQx7q95Md
On the other side of his mind, he told himself, who's a crazy person who would turn the dead humans into those creatures? He's the one who must rest in peace. Such fucking person.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzkyI0kiqb
He felt a sudden shiver on his spines as he recalled a thing that was bothering him until now that he's not telling everyone...a prophecy that the priest told him a month ago.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSohN6tVCu

158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyzXhP4YYd
"There will be a war and ruin. Graves will rise. A moment of peace will turned to feud and rivalry. Corrupted bad bloods will expose the darkness. There will be vanish. The mournfulness of one will be the mournfulness of all."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7mGssHlZ
Logan's eyes narrowed, his lips left slightly open as he stared at the female priest opening her eyes. Inside the drawing room, there's only two of them for the reason that the priest told everyone to leave the room except the emperor.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4Bgrv2Sk
The female priest was one of the powerful priest of the abbey of the capital. Everything she blessed will be with luck, everything she says will make a prosperous claimed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRt7mxm0UA
"A chaos." He helplessly exclaimed. It was a news that shake him to be overwhelmed. When he was a kid, his grandfather, the former emperor, was always telling him about what could've happen in the future, and that he needed to acquire everything that could save the empire from falling, and as well telling him that 'we know peace because there's no chaos. We know chaos because there's no peace' and that 'Logan, prepare yourself, always.'
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeLEKZJrdd
The priest slowly nodded her head, her calm figure and posture made her look like she wasn't shaken at all. "That's what I saw...of what would occur."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphQ4IGKFBb
Logan's jaw clenched. "The future hasn't yet happen. I will find the root of the prophecy. There's something I could do,"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf9yKQxRve
The female priest remained with a calmness and replied, "That's what I expected from his Majesty to answer." Logan was stiffened. The female priest continued. "But I know his Majesty must know that we can't prevent the events that was bound to happen. His Majesty can't challenge the Gods and Goddesses that was creating a balance. You can't just push towards something or pull a thing that was beyond even in this world."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo7LAYMZPl
Logan's eyes flickered with rage. What balance was the female priest was saying? Balance to genocide?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvYDcMQb4A
"I'm making steps that wasn't crucial at all, priestess. I'm pushing myself not just for the sake of me, but also for my people. It was my duty to know and prepare for the future calamity that would occur to the empire or even the world." The female priest just listened and let him continue. "If I could just turn one thing, I would do it. Challenging the Gods and Goddesses wasn't my motive at all. I wasn't. I'm just telling that I'm also bound to make an action to protect what I want to protect. The priestess as well must know that I knew the consequences and karma that would occur to me and that I'm always aware if that would be for the righteous or defective."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUuSmG6ZA9
Her eyes fell on the table in front of them. "Even if you do it, it's useless."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5iohdgQqO
Logan replied, "Only me could tell."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1XoAveduH
☁︎☁︎☁︎
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpSrFimTBc
Logan's jaw clenched and keep up with himself. 'I still have time. The worse hasn't occured yet.' He calmed himself. 'I needed to tell the wizard all about this.'
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAcFVUJHd
Fern felt that it suddenly became uneasy and blurted again, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqjF9qbBPh
Logan's hazel eyes flickered as he gaze at her. "Nonsense."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9aPVjRgjc
"I'm just asking!" Defended Fern.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ0QmOjitX
"It seemed that you forget what I told you two years ago, Empress. That caring for me wasn't your business, and likewise."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38eB2NopCT
"I know, but I can't help it." She said in a slow voice, but Logan hasn't failed to hear it and didn't said anything. She continued, "I know his majesty hate the fact that we married for the pledge of our grandfather's to each other. But...please? Can his Majesty lessen the 'must do' and 'shouldn't do'? It would really help me sometimes because I often forget, there's too many to obey from your words. And---and, please don't get offended..."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTt13Ft5I2
Logan snorted. "You took a step on my path and appeared. That's the consequences of your action. You could've just refused the marriage from the beginning when the former Marquess told you that you will marry me."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLU1aSjMft
'As if I could do that.' Fern felt pathetic while whispering on her mind. Then she replied, "And why don't his Majesty too, from the beginning?" She threw back his words.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz3hDPyX4U
The emperor has provoked, "You think that everyone has a choice? You weren't in my position at all to throw my words back at me."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7NF6MzBo9
"His Majesty wasn't in my position too to think that I always have a choice." She argued back.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP0129YbOI
And then there was silence. Logan still have a hard of rock and couldn't stop his resentful feeling for her, thinking that she's only making a reason to be pitied. Fern couldn't handle the pressure on the atmosphere and blurted, "I apologized. I was wrong. I wouldn't ask anymore regarding to his Majesty regarding to that. I'll do my best to recall your words again." The empress uncomfortably breathed. "Then...then what are we to do next???"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJckzE46Pj
Logan, feeling no sympathy at all, answered her with coldness. "We'll stay here until after dawn. I removed all our traces so that those creatures couldn't track us. We need to hurry our journey off at the Aeneas Tower right after the sun rise on the west, tomorrow."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIPVyIkFUL
Fern ignored his coldness and cruelty and acknowledge, "Alright." She noticed the coachman. "What about him?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmlJ3ogHCG
"I will need him to go back to the palace right after he regain consciousness. He is to send a troupe of knights in this area right away."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQZgoeAykE
"Oh," Fern slowly nodded.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQIJ2m0lYg
Out of the blue, they heard a sound of a blurting stomach crying for hunger. Fern thought that it was hers, but as she look at the emperor's paling face and look embarrassed, she only shake her head and chuckled. She took a piece of bread that she was carrying on a pouch and offered it to him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzk8YNyDcW
"His Majesty sure would not going to die from blurting cold words and being insensitive, but we're not sure in hunger." Logan's hazel eye flickered with rage, glancing at her. She only chuckled and added, "I'm just offering out of empathy. I would do this to anyone and not just to his Majesty...take it."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4OxOo3LYF
Logan rolled his eyes as he took the bread from her. Fern hide her smile and silently chuckled. After Logan finished munching the bread, he heard the empress blurted again, as if she would die from silence and couldn't keep up to shut her mouth, "I wonder if I could remove the necklace."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcCxpNvWrf
"It must not be remove."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU61pgncPnm
"Just a second?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWelMUqfXAb
Logan clicked his tongue. "What did I say?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5S4TkvF9G
"...But it's really itchy. The red marks are supposingly appearing in my neck and nape...look!" Fern argued, showing the emperor her neck. Logan immediately frowned at her and got taken a back.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KsoNbU4pW
"Stop!---No matter what, you musn't remove it!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNwz6PC2n9
The emperor's words that saying he doesn't repeat his words twice, swallowed it because of her bold actions. Seriously, why can't she be decent?!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADQtiX4s6f
Fern thought there's nothing wrong showing what's bothering her at all, she only wanted to know if she has a chance to give up Logan's empathy for her. But as she most expected, it failed. Fern leaned back again against the hard rock.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxKmw4X7Id
Logan snorted from time to time and also leaned against the hard wall rock of the cave far from her.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ehTykq0Tc
In all ways, he really can't stand her. If only there would be a time when she would be kick out as an empress because of her stubbornness, he would certainly be delighted to stand alone in the throne.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYRXIpdG9
Logan was about to close his eyes when he heard Fern blurting again.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg9HaanB75
"You know, if we die together here..."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGU0ivxIFD
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't include me if you're thinking of death." Logan glared.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TpTqXrnaM
"I'm just saying that 'if',"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHVWUqNike
Logan ragingly clicked his tongue. "Die alone."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVFpbWWG56
Fern, taking no serious offence on his word, said, "But it would be lonely. Isn't dying together with someone or your special one could somehow lessen the loneliness? I read it in the books, seems kinda fascinating..."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXlfDEbiVG
"It's your perspective, don't include me in your nonsensical ability by dreaming a thing that's beyond this world. Piss off."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrZzm3vy1u
"I love it. Dreaming that's beyond myself. Maybe his Majesty hasn't tried it yet, so I'm suggesting that you should experience it before you make a judgement."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCI313xxCZ
"It's misleading you to dense and you're becoming absurd. Why should I make an experience out of it? Becoming foolish and senseless wasn't my thing but yours."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0HBv2PcP
"His Majesty was bright and accomplished all his life that you seemed not to experienced being foolish. But if somehow in some ways that you experienced being unsophisticated for once, maybe his Majesty would change his view of the world and the things around him." Fern hugged her knees and smiled widely at him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfRb6Unrhv
Logan's hazel eyes flickered in ire and glared at her. Contrary from him, Fern stayed smiling widely, having a feeling that she just won a debate.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSSDVFAkjT
"They're just things around me. They will stay the same just like that, you're just stupid minding and creating things too much of that perspective of yours."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUG8YIqTlV
"His Majesty would never know the feeling of being fascinated in unexpected thing if he's being ignorant and only focusing on one bubble all his life. Sometimes, one should take a step out of his own zone to discover a thing that in some ways could change even yourself."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzFkPzFkO
Logan became irritated as he thought of the prophecy again. "Changes ruins everything."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE8QiG94xs
Fern laughed. "It's in his majesty's perspective that he's living pessimistic."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztNisogFTy
Logan intends to argue back when they suddenly heard a noise of crackling dry leaves outside. They both stand in astonishment and gazed at each other in surprised.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8VUJuDHMl
"Silence." Logan muttered, signing to Fern. Just as Logan was about to turn his head, he felt the mana inside him felt weird as his eyes widened. That means---the invisible wall he made a while ago at the entrance of the cave disappeared! "Bullshit." He cursed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd35XldzZ1
Out of the blue he gripped Fern's wrist and placed her behind him. "Don't do anything ridiculous!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCAJgqScUA
"Why---what happened???!!!" Fern's voice trembled, nervous.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC37FlEpM9E
They heard a hurry steps coming towards the cave where they are as Logan tightened his gripped on her wrist feeling that she will rushly take an action. Fern's face twitched as she felt a pain on her wrist.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHlxFNoz3W
"Stop!" Logan shouted. The footsteps disappeared but they could faintly see a sillouhette of someone even against the dark. "Who are you?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZKNdjZyDy
"Y...Your Majesty," It's the voice coming from a man and trembling.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT5KJXjIaK
Logan's felt irritated, from whose voice is this? And since it seemed that this man means no harm, so he loosened the tight grip on Fern's wrist.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQhDqjYTKT
"Tell me your name!" Logan shouted.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvx5ocsJ3z
The sillouhette flinched. "Your Majesty, it's me...I'm...I'm the wizard who wrote to you. I'm Caspian Hawthorne, from...from the Aeneas Tower." The wizard gulped. "I was about to fetch his Majesty and her Majesty on the way to my place because I felt worried that something might happen, but what I saw on my way is the golden carriage that stumbled down and ghouls. I...I have come to a conclusion the the empress and the emperor runaway and hide somewhere so I've come to find. T-Then I felt a Mana's power at the entrance of the cave and I broke it...I'm sorry, your majesty..."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0jbUuREUZ
Logan took a long deep breath and let Fern go realizing that there are no danger.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv1JrSWh1W
"Show yourself."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd5CrxmmmR
The wizard took a steps as his sillouhette became more cleared by the blue fames from the bonfire. There he appeared wearing a dark red with black linings on his sleeves as the black cloak with a hood appeared mystically on him by the red flames that it seems it was burned by it. The wizard's ruby eyes flickered in shamed when he appeared Infront of the emperor and empress. His long nape-lenght hair waves by a slight slashed of the wind.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Y3ZblH6R
Castor had his head lowered. "I apologized to his and her Majesty, I came late...I'm unforgivable, just bury me on the ground...I'm useless."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjz4wFv8FQ
"..." "..." Both of them was speechless.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbcF5z19J3
They thought the wizard they were going to meet with was conceited and serious having a knowledge that he's about three hundred years old, they never thought he will be...this head down.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyooXj3Uj2U
Fern, having a thought that he will going to kneel to them the next moment, speak for she feared he'll do that. "No, no, it's alright...you can lift your head!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGDI0m9j4e
Their eyes widened as the wizard lifted his head and there's a watery thing in his eyelids like he was about to cry.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsNPHeBabK
"It's...It's really okay..." Fern comforted, but it was useless.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc4RSGHaQd
Logan became irritated looking at him and said, "Weren't you here to fetch us?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmIKeAFy8x
Castor quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, your majesty, l-let's go..."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfE4NA4lFS
Fern remembered the coachman. "Wait---the coachman!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YRdUlfXze
Logan almost forgot him, then he turned to Castor and said, "Wake him up." He pointed to the man who's laying at the ground.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfyonSGmFg
Castor quickly obeyed and using his stick hand that just appeared on his hands from no knows where, he tapped the coachman using the tip of it then it disappeared.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEQmflFUqq
The coachman groaned and awoke, and recalled all the past events that happened a while ago. Seeing the weird looking man that he didn't know infront of him, he startled.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltBu5oLwm
"Don't be scared! He's a wizard---the wizard," Fern calmed the coachman. The coachman took a moment to get it and nodded. He felt relief.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuDcU7HAaY
Logan clicked his tongue and crossed arms. He gazed a second time at Castor.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0nMKRH95o
"Can you send him back to the palace?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgSKXc0rSZ
The wizard nodded. The next moment, Castor took out a crystal stone in his robe and gave it to the coachman and says, "It's a travel stone. Just think of the Eastwell Empire's palace and you'll be able to go back..."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2EayiUNvP
The coachman stared at the crystal stone, mesmerized. Logan emphasized to him, "I need you to tell the Knight's captain that he is to send a couple of Knight's troupe in this area as soon as possible. And a carriage seven days later for our departure in Aeneas Tower. And Tell Nonovon that what I remind him before I left."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMPzPyJK3d
Nonovon Seawright is the emperor's personal butler, serving him since the emperor was just seven. He's only older than him for about five years and earn the emperor's trust to make him his personal assistant, advisor and also a butler.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrwwuRxDpx
The coachman bowed his head and stand up. "Yes, your majesty,"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3UdIiAHE7
Logan slightly lift his head and nod. "Go."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSVgoxuqIU
The coachman gazed at the empress to bid his goodbyes. Fern waved and smiled. "Take no risk!" The coachman bowed again, used to the empress' jolly attitude as he closed his eyes and hide the crystal stone in his palms. With that, he disappeared with a blue faintly glowing lights.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWqSqHQVkI
Caspian gazed at the empress for a second time, his heart pondered a little and deemed a charm for her. It was the first time she has seen the empress in personal since he only see her on the paintings at the past. He heard from the commoners in the marketplace of the empire always gossiping about her in a good way, that the empress was such a beautiful woman and has an excellence that could feat his Majesty in many ways. She's also humorous, kind, and fun to be with, and that she loves carrying her bow and arrow with her all the time. Now he thought that was presuming to be true.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzclgJOVh4
He also heard the rumors too about the two rulers of the empire, and couldn't feel but felt sorry for her.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEXn1p8VtA
Contrary to the empress in him, he saw the emperor once and they met when the emperor was just a kid. He's really heartless and cold with his eyes that's flickering with furiousness all the time. He felt so inferior since then.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmzVVfsgyI
Fern got taken a back when she felt someone was staring at her, when she turned her head, she saw that it was the wizard. She only smiled at him widely.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iAjqcteM4
Caspian felt mesmerized but also got taken aback from her smile. "H-Her majesty is beautiful," He's also surprised what he blurted from his mouth.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyKrgQ4DpK
Fern laughed, and joked, "I made you blind if you think so,"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEVBDKzJxv
Caspian's lips curved and stattered, "I'm...I'm saying the truth, I'm..." Caspian couldn't continue his words and blushed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMSfhMewYa
Logan suddenly felt irritated and glared at them. "If the empress have other matter for the wizard to discuss on, just do it later for I'm included in another business that's more important to be discussing on."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9EA5eypIU
Fern stopped and replied, "Yeah, I forgot for a moment, but I'm just talking---"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEiFII5BpZ
Logan snorted, sarcastically chuckling, "Seems like you're always tending to forgot everything, empress. If you have a plan to take down yourself for such undeserving title of yours, you should've did two years ago from the start."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxkY3y0wlb
Caspian felt bothered in his majesty's words. But he felt more bothered for the empress. Is she used to this? From the looks of it, she was. And she didn't say anything, her lips just curved.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2WD4Ekl7L
"Right, I should've." The empress laughed. "But I didn't! So now I'm here and we needed to discuss why we're here!, So, can we? But let's get out of here---first!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CpnH3y1oV
Caspian was speechless.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XqZYHFJYr
If the emperor is the one who has a heart of rock, then Caspian is the one who has a heart of soft bread.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw30UHxrWC
He's the one who felt hurt even though that words wasn't intend to him. He fixed his gaze on the empress to see if he could trace a sadness in her face.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3YMPqqwUi
But it was flawless.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pab9rSDRJ
A sudden question formed in his head.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjIZBlFG7Y
How could she be used to that kind of trait?
