We didnt waste anymore time, after lunch the Emperor ordered the knights to pack our stuff as he wants to return to the Moon Kingdom as soon as possible.
The moment the sun has set, we went on our journey to the moon kingdom.
"How many days will it take for us to get there?" Aiden asked.
"Exactly five days since were taking carriage." His highness answered happily.
"How big is the moon kingdom exactly?" Asher asked gullibly.
His highness chuckled at Asher's question "Bigger than you could ever imagine.... and all of those will be yours." His highness asnwered as he shuffles Ashers head.
"Ours? but were not your children." Arlo stated.
"For now your not, but when your mother and I get married, you will be." His highness answered.
I looked at my sons and they were all blushing, I heard a light chuckled coming from his highness.
I just smiled at their reaction. They must have been longing for a father figure in their life.
' I am such a failure '

And just what his highness said, it took us five days to get to the Moon Kingdom.
It was a nightmare of a trip. Although magic transportation is available we decided not to use it since my children are only below five years old. Their body wont be able to take it.
"Here we are... Welcome to my kingdom." His highness said as the carriage we are riding slowly enter the Moon kingdom's territory.
"Wooooo!!!"
"Its so bigg!!"
"Mom look at that castle its a hundred time bigger than what we have back in our kingdom!"
Good thing the children looks excited. They kept on looking at window.
"So? is it to the liking of my Empress?" I looked outside the window and indeed the moon kingdom is breathtakingly beautiful.
The kingdom is perfectly located where the moon shines the brightest. What captured my attention was the massive waterfall behind the entire kingdom combined with the moon's light it looks like the water is glowing like crystals.
"Yeah... Its breathtakingly beautiful." I said, looking at the waterfall.

When we arrived at the castle, the first one to get off the carriage was Ace. He then extended his hands towards my children to help them get off.
Then he extended his hands to me. I sigh deeply. 'Here goes nothing' I thought.
I took his hand and we walked together inside the castle holding hands.
When I say everyone is looking at us, I meant EVERYONE.
Some were looking at us with awe and some in disgust. I honestly do not have the energy to deal with those people today. Im tired and I want to rest.
"Empress? are you ok?"
"No. I want to rest." I said firmly.
"Tara. Escort the Empress to my room and make sure the room next to mine is also clean, the children will be stayinf there." Ace said to Tara, a woman maybe in his fifties, Im assuming she's the head maid.
"Yes your highness." She said and bowed respectfully.
"Your not gling to rest?" I asked Ace with my eyebrow raised at him.
Immediately his face lit up and smiled at me "Why? are you worried about me?" he asked teasingly.
yes.
I thought, bit of course I didnt say it.
"Suite yourself." I stated and turned my attention to Tara "Lead the way to the room." I said.
Before I could even take a step forward, Ace grabes me by the waist and pulled me closer to him. Hugging me in the process.
"Im just teasing you, Empress. I just have something to announce to the knights after that I'll go to our room." He said and kissed my forehead.
"K." I answered bluashingly.
Everyone was looking at us so I immediately turned my head away and grabbed all three of my children who were busy admiring the castle's interior and we followed Tara.
"His Highness's bedroom is the only occupied bedroom on the third floor of the castle. The room next to him is free so the children may stay there." Tara explained.
"How many rooms are there in the third floor?" I asked.
"Five bedroom my lady." I nodded in response.
While we walk towards the bedroom, we saw two knights guarding the stairs to the third floor.
When they saw us, they immediately took a bow and greeted us. "Greetings to the Empress of the moon kongdom" They said in union.
"Rise." I said confidently, they moved aside to let us pass but before we could even take a step forward a loud screeching scream came out of nowhere.
"WHO IS SHE AND WHY IS WHE ALLOWED ON THE THIRD FLOOR?!"
