Won and Ozaris were currently walking down the streets of the capital. Won was immersed in the smells and noises, soundlessly humming as his closed eyes slightly trembled.
Ozaris looked at Won and said, "Master I've prepared everything as you've wanted. Tommorow we will do the scholars exam, and also the military exam."
Won nodded and said, "Although that is an important part in our plan remember with how wily and greedy human's are, this is not enough. I'm sure you won't disappoint me, after you've done that you can simply manage Sweet night. If you need my help it's fine, don't hesitate, but remember unless you absolutely can't handle it don't appear too often when I enter the Royal court."
Ozaris nodded.
Ozaris looked at Won and pondered, "I wonder what the master is doing here. Yesterday..."
...
Won was reclining in his pool, the hot bellows of steams rising to the sky.
Lulu was swimming around the pool with a kiddie balloon.
Ozaris was standing outside holding a silk robe for Won.
Ozaris asked, "Master why did you instruct me to remind you of tommorow?"
Won smirked, "Hm... Let's just say I have to collect something."
Won stood up and climbed the marble steps and said, "Lulu make sure not to stay inside too long."
Lulu nodded, "Okay big brother! What's for dinner?"
Won smirked, "Hm. Fried chicken."
Lulu's face brightened.
Won looked at Ozaris and said, "Ozaris do you know the best way to do something, especially matters concerning human sentiment and emotion?"
Ozaris shook his head.
Won laughed and roared, "An explosive event!"
...
Ozaris tilted his head, "What is master doing today... Perhaps something to attract the peoples attention."
Yet when Ozaris finally calmed his curious thoughts he looked to the side to find Won gone.
Ozaris face became dark in panic, he wailed as he swung his hands up, "Master! Master!"
Meanwhile Won had mixed into the large crowds. He moved like a snake through the crowd. No one could touch him as he moved.
He then got to a vacant road with only one or two people walking. Most were couples that romanced under the orange leaves that had nearly all fallen, the sound of the river softly trembling the ground.
The sun was a nice warmth, not hot not cold, just right.
Won walked and while looking at the sky for a split moment crashed into something and fell down the hill to the shore of the river.
He felt his lips touch something warm, soft and wet.
Won's eyes went wide as he caught sight of two black eyes.
Her jade like skin, her long black silk hair, her plump and sexy red lips. A small drop like nose, that fit perfectly to her face. Her hair was filled with dazzling gold and green flower ornaments that held her long hair.
(Honestly the image I used in my head is kinda specific so if you wanna see what I kinda meant then search "Jade like beauty" and click the novel updates forum and the pics of what I mean is there.)
She was a dazzling beauty, although not on the skies of fairies and those sort, she was in her own eye extremely beautiful and captivating. Indeed she had a very mouth watering appeal, of course it was hidden behind her closed off aura which would make many others commonly ignore her.
Her eyes widened and her lashes trembled in shock and anger.
The electrifying sensation raced across her body and caused her heart to pulsate uncontrollably.
Won although having had countless women, still also felt something. Every jade was special.
Of course his experience and hers was completely incomparable.
Suddenly a harsh wind hit Won's side and he was kicked into the river.
A man with black hair falling like a waterfall behind him to his shoulders, wearing a large and heavy golden chest plate with dragons running across it, and red pauldrons and boots. His eyes were red and his brows crossed tightly, a deep nail bitting, tooth grinding anger rising out of him.
Won first turned to the girl who had sat up, her trembling hands traced her lips in shock. Meanwhile her eyes were glued to her chest where a hot, fire like hand had rested.
Won hurriedly apologized, "Ai. Miss I'm sorry. I was focusing on the sky and accidentally bumped into you."
The man in golden armor roared in fury, "You animal! Do you know who this is! She is...!"
The girl exclaimed with her soft, but thunderous like voice, "Enough."
Won leapt out of the water with a gasp.
He held her hand, which was as smooth as possible and softer than a pillow.
His hand slowly massaging it.
She pulled her hand away and said, "What do you think you are doing!"
The Golden chest plate wearing man go ready to kill.
Won said, "Ai. It's my fault Miss not only got hurt, but also assaulted. I would like to sincerely apologize. I was alarmed when I saw your swollen hand and rushed to try and help, you see I have some expertise in treating people."
The girl said, "Ah. I see. Thank you, but there is no need."
Won said, "No I would feel too much like a villain. Here you can find me here."
Won handed them a white card.
The girls eyes widened, "You're the famous young Pavilion master of Sweet night?"
Won nodded with a smile, "Indeed I am. If you have issues you can find me! Don't worry I am very reliable!"
As Won said that he flexed his arm.
The girl laughed cutely as she saw that.
Won then looked at the Gold chest plated man and said, "And you. Although I understand your issues with me. In the end it was an accident was there really such a need to be so brutal. An innocent and normal person would have been disabled thanks to you. Listen to me. Don't think too highly of yourself. From the smallest bug to the greatest God, all beings are equal in this world. Simply because you have some status and power dosen't mean you can be so rude."
The golden chest plated man backed away, anger still apparent on his face, but also deep apprehension.
Won raised his hand and thick Qi gathered in his hand.
The girl hurriedly said, "Good sir, I hope you could excuse my servant for me."
Won slowly dropped his hand with a heavy sigh.
He nodded, "Very well. Who am I to resist the request of a beautiful girl such as yourself."
Won then sent one more glare towards the golden chest plated man and snickered, "Be sure to keep your temper in place. It's good to have power and strength, and even better to have loyalty, but with all of that comes responsibility. Someday you'll be asked to pay, and if you can't then you'll be destroyed. If I hear you are abusing innocent people like what you did to me today I will make sure to personally handle you. I am here nicely thanks to your miss and her good temper, as well as my status and power, but I do not think everyone would be so lucky. Make sure you take care in your actions."
Won then walked off.
Meanwhile the girl was heavily impressed by Won.
She knew he didn't recognize her, her identity was special and she hardly left her home.
"He is such a gentleman. Even though I'm just some ordinary woman in his eyes he showed such kindness to me even from his place of power. Furthermore he is so capable, and powerful he easily survived Kenji's attack. He has a good personality and character. Furthermore he is very attractive, I'm sure women flock towards him. He's gentle with others and firm with his ideals. How interesting."
The girl said as her eyes sparkled.
Kenji the gold chest plated man bowed and asked, "Princess Yuna. What should we do? Should we tell his majesty the Emperor?"
Yuna the girl shook her head and said, "No. It's fine let it be. Furthermore he is the Pavilion master of Sweet night. He is a rising star in the Empire and a person my father shouldn't antagonize. He has enough enemies."
Yet Kenji's eyes frosted over. He swore to pay this debt back.
Meanwhile Won was walking away with his hands behind his back, a slight smile on his face. The sun blossomed on his faces as birds danced around him.
Won smirked as he put his hand out, and a bird landed on his finger, "Life is better set ablaze. A fantasy, a novel. It's an explosion that's draws the most eyes."
Won's light Cyan robe danced in the wind.
Won looked back, "Sorry princess but you're mine to capture."
Won laughed cheerfully.
As he walked away he thought internally, "It worked out well. I showed her my competence, my strength, and also my good character. Furthermore with her first kiss she will never be able to look at me as anything else, that kiss and that touch it will forever remind her of our first heated encounter. And as I spend my time capturing you, you'll realize you're mine. That fellow Kenji was as problematic as I thought, he'll probably be on the guard and prevent us from meeting too much and might even goad his father into interfering with me. But it's fine I needed to get him startled, the best thing is if the princess realizes his rushed temper, incompetence and anger and disposes of him. Worst comes to worst, I'll deal with the jealous, obsessed childhood friend of the Princess of the Ito Empire Yuna - Kenji. Don't blame me buddy, I just need her to capture this Empire."
Won looked at the castle walls of the Royal palace.
Those long stone walls that separated commoner and royalty. That separated Won from his desire.
Won reached his hand out to try and touch the wall and said, "One day I'll destroy that wall. One day I'll rule this Empire, then I'll have my revenge. Finally I'll rule this world. But never think my desire will stop there!"
...
Won explained to Ozaris what happened and Ozaris understood.
Ozaris said, "Ah, you seek to gain the Princesses favor and thus support. Furthermore this will help keep your intentions within the court hidden as everyone would be too focused on the scandal. But it still doesn't seem worth the effort your majesty."
Won smirked, "I have somethings to do and that requires the Princess. You could say in this entire Empire, she's the most important piece."
Won internally said, "In the end. To meet both conditions of the Quest this is the only viable option. Destroy the Empire and kill the heirs, marry the princess and become the Emperor."
