Soaring through the air thatâs colored by the redness of the moon, Bai Yan only stopped when she finally caught a glimpse of that silvery hair belonging to a certain domineering man whom sheâs all too familiar with.
âDiâ¦.â
Bai Yan didnât understand why her husband was here in this remote location and at such hour as well; however, before she could call out his name and get his attention, she was interrupted by the appearance of an old man quickly coming forward from the rear
âSecond Elder?â she mutters this upon realizing who it was.
Why is he having a meeting with the second elder when he couldâve done it at the palace?
Not to mention⦠he shouldâve come seen me when I came out of my closed-door training.
Finding that the man was about to turn around in her direction now, Bai Yanâs heart trembled and hurriedly hid behind the tree nearby. The doubts in her had grown so huge that its effecting her complexion â its gloomy and dark.
The suspicion didnât only apply to the woman either, the one known as Second Elder also appeared perplexed by the strange summoning. âSire, did you call for me?â All respectful, the old man cups his hand to pay his greeting.
âMhmm,â the man made a smirk thatâs somehow different from his usual style. âComing up, I want you to send a few more people to follow the queen around.â
Regarding that order, the second elder just couldnât resist a chuckle: âThe queen is truly fortunate to have such high concern from Your Majesty. But I must add, thereâs no reason to be so worried about Her Highnessâs safety. Thereâs the princess following her around, and thereâs no way anyone from the Demon Realm would try to bring harm in Her Highnessâs way.â
âIs that so?â The manâs tone now sounded very strange and off, âSecond Elder, do you know why Iâm being so good to the queen?â
âIsnât it because Sireâs love for the queen is extremely deep?â Puzzled by the awkward conversation, Second Elder was now openly giving a strange look to the other side.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The person in front is definitely the king, thereâs no mistake. Whether it be the scent or aura, all of it is right. But why is he saying such strange things now?
âLove?â The man sneered, âYou think someone like I would have love? She gave birth to my son the prince, thatâs why Iâm being exceptionally grateful to her. However, that doesnât excuse her lack of morality with another man from the mortal world. That Chu Yi Feng, she spent several years with him and even had my son call that man his godfather, does she really expect me to believe in her innocence?â
âWhat?â Second Elder was shocked.
If the matter was said by someone else then he may not necessarily believe in it, but this was the king spouting the claim!
âButâ¦â The elder hesitated for a while but continued to ask anyways, âWhen you first returned to us, why did you make that order then, claiming the queen is first and you only second?â
Strange!
Sire is acting exceptionally strange today!
Whatâs more, shouldnât the king look for the state teacher or first elder instead of myself for matters of this degree? Iâm only called second because I joined the Demon Council earlier then most, that doesnât mean anything!
âAnd you believed that?â The manâs face showed a satiric look, âIn the Demon Realm, the ultimate authority will always lie in my hands. If I want to take it back then I can take it back. I only said those things so she would marry me.â
Shuddering inside over that explosive news, the elder quickly lowered his head, afraid the mere act of making eye contact would warrant severe punishment at this moment.
This is incredible. I canât believe the king could pretend to be so affectionate for such a long time.
