I got kidnapped.
I was enjoying the view of this city and was in deep thought about how this kingdom contained a wide range of jungles, Islands in the east, and Large Mountains in the west, and was a perfect paradise, on the other hand, my Kingdom was like a barren land which only got highly developed due to presence of divine flame sacred to orthodox sects in my Kingdom and My status as Brother of the emperor and Title of the divine child.
Well thankfully now it contained various amounts of vassal states and after the enthronement of this brat were very significant changes But as I lost myself in thought, a blinding light enveloped me, and I found myself snatched away against my will. When I came to, I found myself in a grand hall filled with women dressed in ornate gowns and headdresses.
I was sure of how I had gotten there but unsure of who might have taken me.
This confusion of who might have dared to forcefully bring me here disappeared after I hear a voice.
"It's an Honor to have Divine Child grace us with his divine presence." Whose voice, was it? The Carl Leo Stien IV.
Who is he?, I wonder for a moment. And then my knowledge gives me the answer. He is the king of Taharka. My kidnapper.
Beside him, there were some important old men and cultist martial arts fanatics giving me a 'smile'.
It give me a chill.
the reason I get chill is because my Charm is infinite and hence if I look at someone it would surely give any one a false idea that I am looking at them with eyes full of passion. If someone saw my face at least now even if only for a few seconds they would go wild. My voice and presence carried a tone of Authority but Innocence, Love but Innocence.
This is the reason I had to cover my face all the time and only people who could see my face were people trained to be completely loyal to me and carry no foul emotion.
"Where are half of my guards Do you not know how to welcome the guests?" I ask them, pretty annoyingly.
"We apologize, but Lady Hui Ying instructed us not to allow them to enter, except for a few who were trained to not hear or see anything that would annoy the Lady."
"Additionally, this order to forcefully teleport you here was not our idea." One of the old men said loudly. His nervousness was seen clearly by me.
This old man is the sect leader of the Hatti sect appointed by the king to supervise and manage the Divine Tower.
"it's the first time in history that anyone has reached the True acquired realm at such a young age." He said changing the topic in hopes of pleasing me.
"Lead the way to where she is," I say, and follow the old men to a luxurious room where Lady Hui Ying was waiting for me.
Luckily Augustine wasn't here as I prayed for. It would have only made it difficult for me to wrap up the meeting quickly.
Lady Hui Ying, If Life was full of struggle and full of suffering then her very presence seemed like a stronghold for the Struggling, a stronghold in times of suffering.
It is said that when she was born, a stream of lotus petals was flooded down from Heavens. Her face was moon-like which put the lotuses to shame and her eyebrows and Hair like jade and silky. A strong woman who achieved a High rank 'True acquired realm'.
I sat down and simply asked her. "I don't think it was appropriate for you to just kidnap me and separate me from my guards."
She looked at me blankly and asked me. "Stop covering your face and Remove the veil."
I removed the Viel and told her. "Your hair are beautiful; you shouldn't compare it with Augustina's. Don't tie them."
She gave a smile.
It was clear she got embarrassed and told me to avoid embarrassment that it troubles her while training and that's the reason she wore a veil over her hair and not because she was jealous of Augustine. I was insulting you.
"So as I was saying, I don't think it was appropriate for you to forcefully bring me in here."
"I read the report". She says.
I became confused about what report she was talking about. She keeps her silence and refuses to elaborate further.
"I have gotten too tired from the trip and don't have the energy to think much right now" I gets up to lie down on the bed but get stopped by her indirectly midway.
"You had quite a fun with that maid." She speaks.
"Maid?" I ask.
How did she know this? I Dunno.
But There is no need to feign innocence if she already knew this much but I try my luck, nonetheless.
"I thought you liked that vixen; I didn't expect you to get her killed." She asks rhetorically perhaps, still keeping her stoic face.
It seems My fiancée is too dangerous and unfortunately a strong, internally free, and externally sovereign woman. Huh?
We never talked with each other than normal greeting in the past and I only know about her through rumors and some fragmented memories.
'I know.'
"Given your inability to plant spies within my retinue or place formations on my carriage? How do you know it?" I inquire, annoyed.
"Don't change the subject, Ji Yan." Woah Woah She is saying my name, It seems she really is angry.
Her eyes were now like a dagger stabbing me.
"You're being too sensitive, I only did it to save my life and You're breaching my personal space. Why are you being so aggressive?"
"You don't even apologize. Do you even realize your mistake?" She questions me.
"I'm sorry you feel that way. I won't say 'but' otherwise It'll only be an excuse" I reply, meeting her eyes.
"I don't think I ever did something wrong, I only tried to save my life and you made me do it." I whine, throwing some fragrance liquid to annoy her.
"I'm reporting this incident to the emperor and 3 great Theocracy. You already have me and other fiancé and You're still doing such scandalous acts."
She didn't report it yet huh? I like this woman. She is smart and strong but still what a fool.
She should have reported it and just walked away and made me chase after her.
I still hold a power dynamic over her.................
"Why are you making it an issue? I love you and I promise you; I'll never do anything to make you feel hurt. Just forgive me this time, I love you."
"Hmph"
"C'mon, I brought this for you" I gave her the best flower boutique and put chocolate in her mouth.
