The whispers began to return sounding vaguely yet clearly. In fact, it's not done by one or two people. Except for all those present in the court of the Huoli Royal Court.
Hearing the contents of Emperor Li's decree stating that the ruler released his Empress as a form of sorry to his wife, became a big question mark in the minds of his people except those who live in the castle.
Even so, not a single one of them found the answer. Though some precise conjecture came out of their mouths. However, because there is no justification or blame so that all of it can only be a guess without any results.
Emperor Li had also made his subordinates who knew the true facts silent. The man strictly forbade the true story until it leaked out of the palace. All of it was packed with death as punishment for those who leaked it.
Other than for reasons of embarrassment, considering he was the Emperor in the Fire Nation. He also did not want to add to the busyness of his people to gossip about his Royal Family nor did he want until his people modeled it. To him, this was his disgrace. Aib in the palace.
Aib who not only embarrassed him, but also regretted and felt stupid. He had fallen down enough to get hurt because of his stupidity. He did not want to add to the burden of his pain by hearing for himself how his people commented on his stupidity.
Since the execution procession was completed with a very heavy reading of the decree for him to read. Emperor Li immediately left from there after his personal bodyguard left the royal council and his wives and eunuchs who still had duties before ending the agenda that afternoon.
Now the man was alone in his residence, precisely his gazebo surrounded by a lotus pond. He was alone there staring blankly at the fish in the lotus pond.
Incidentally, when he accidentally saw a male fish appear to swim in tandem with a female fish that looks pregnant. I can see how sweet the view is. The emperor even felt his chest clenched with envy and sorrow to his own.
Feeling ridiculous, when his mind thought that the pet fish in his lotus pond even had a good and sweet life than he as his master, his master, the human who nurtured him.
He laughed mockingly to himself. Maybe he was jealous of his pet fish. Their life destiny is different. How can it be compared.
In the middle of daydreaming about what he had done until the present, there was the sound of footsteps walking closer to him. He chose to be quiet and did not care for anyone who came. The excitement of his heart, made him loosen his vigilance. Luckily, he has a shadow bodyguard who is always available to protect him.
"Baby, hm?!" put a familiar girl's voice in her ear. The voice of the person he wanted to have but could not. He turned around and saw.
And, he's right...
"Ahn Reychu.." he muttered almost inaudibly.
He who was none other than Reychu smiled jailly at how disheveled Emperor Li's current face was, then chuckled irresistibly. Little think, this is what the ruthless ruler of the Fire Nation calls?!
Walk closer until he stands parallel to the Emperor, without turning his head toward the person beside him. Reychu stared leisurely at the lotus pond with the fish swimming in it.
The view was quite refreshing.
Another with Emperor Li who could not turn away from looking at the beautiful face of the girl next to him who some time ago had officially become his former Empress. Given that, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"This is not the end of everything!" reychu suddenly succeeded in yanking Emperor Li from his daydream when cool looking at the beautiful face of Reychu who somehow, he felt now the radiance was different. Shine brighter than ever when he was still ignoring her.
Emperor Li took a deep breath then exhaled slowly. Honestly, it still feels hard to admit that everything that has happened is real.
Turning along to look at the lotus pond under the gazebo that they currently occupy.
"Really! It's not the end... But the beginning of everything." he replied uninspiredly.
"That's you know. Stop being weak. You are the Emperor. Fire Nation ruler, leader of Huoli Kingdom. My absence doesn't mean you don't have a chance to get a better life partner. Because we are not fools. Hence, you'll find her one day." I don't know if there's any wind Reychu's talking normally this time.
Looking and looking at Reychu. "really?"
"Curtain! You said so as if not believing in fate." returned Emperor Li's gaze indifferently. Not at all concerned with the meaningful gaze cast by that man.
A moment of silence enveloped the two. Until Emperor Li spoke up first.
"Aren't you going to leave when this is all over?" asked Emperor Li while frowning his forehead.
Hearing the question, Reychu nodded confirming. "Hm... Indeed it is!" his Jeda moved his body to face Emperor Li to reply to the eyes that were staring at him. "They were waiting at the palace gate. I purposely came here to say goodbye..."
"Go! I can't be selfish even if I want to... But, like you said... That's destiny. Although I love you, I think this is a punishment from God because I fought against his will." honestly Emperor Li who had freely chosen to surrender.
"Really! Because you're a dissident!" reychu clearly said.
"Hm. I'm a complete dissident!" sahut Emperor Li confirmed as he nodded.
"Start to be a filial child. The Queen Mother is still by your side. You even still have 3 Concubines in your Harem. Even though none of them are destined to be the breaker of the curse. At least have a good relationship with them. They are still women, however. Although some do not consider important relationship with you. They still need you to appreciate. Like you ever did to me!" reychu brightly with a sweet smile etched beautifully on his lips.
When you see Reychu like that, obviously anyone will feel something is wrong.
"I'll fix it!" emperor Li was convinced of his short decision.
After that, Reychu spread out his hands and said. "Bye-bye hug?" ask her with a smile.
Emperor Li was stunned for a moment. As someone who comes from ancient times, quite clearly know about the boundaries between men and women. But, for this time it seemed like Emperor Li chose to break it.
This will be their last hug. Why should he reject it.
Soon Emperor Li moved forward to return the embrace. On this occasion, he hugged Reychu tightly. He also inhaled the strong scent of Reychu's body as a memory. Kissing the top of his head, even submerging his face in the niche of the neck of the girl he was holding at the moment.
"Hehe... Don't take a chance in narrowness!" reychu's reprimand is not serious.
Emperor Li chose to ignore him. "If I could keep you here... Unfortunately I can't." he complained helplessly.
Reychu smiled seductively while narrowing his eyes, despite knowing that the man in his arms would not see him. "That's what you should do! I'm gonna be stuck here with you any longer! Haha..."
Emperor Li smiled at him even though thin.
"Take care of yourself... And pray for me so that I can quickly get your replacement!" pinta Emperor Li who looked still heavy to part with Reychu.
Reychu nodded. "Quiet down! I'm good at taking care of myself! You don't have to worry either. According to my hunch, it won't take long for you to find your true heart patch. You will marry her, have many children with her, and age with her. Not to forget, you will also take your children to their marriage. Believe me!" the hatch is long.
"Thank you!" emperor Li said as he was comforted and made his heart better than before. He felt relieved.
Their embrace finally came off.
For a moment the two stared at each other.
There was a feeling of pleasure with the little attention Reychu gave.
"Don't forget, you'll have to invite me when you find your Empress. I have to be a witness on your wedding day. Understood?" pinta Reychu forced it.
It was chuckling that Emperor Li heard it. "Sure! I will do it! If I had to, I wouldn't have married without being witnessed by you!" reply chimed.
The two laughed together.
"All right, I'm leaving! Good bye! Bye bye!" reychu exclaimed as he waved both hands before he finally turned and passed away from before Emperor Li who was still at home looking at the little back of the girl who was getting away.
"Goodbye and see you!" reply Emperor Li who could only be heard by himself because the person in question in that sentence had already passed away.
After Reychu disappeared from the reach of his eyes, Emperor Li turned back to face his lotus pond. He could see the pair of fish swimming to chase each other making the fish owner carve a smile on his lips though thin to invisible.
"You're right! This is a new beginning for me!" he said as he felt his heart so airy and peaceful.
So the Li emperor assumed that it was proof of his sincerity towards the bitter past he felt.
The palace gate.
There in addition to the Reychu entourage, there were three Honorary Consorts Wang Jinji, Young General Long Wan Shie, and the Queen Mother accompanied by their servants.
Don't ask about anything else, they have no intention of taking Reychu away. Not because she was no longer the Empress, but because they were not that close.
The Queen Mother should not be there either. But, the old woman was so adamant to drive Reychu away.
"Gee. You're all gathered here. Why bother once." returned to his true nature while walking closer after leaving the Emperor Li residence.
A smile that always looks annoying can not be separated from his lips. But, those who already knew him did not care about that smile at all.
"You're really going, my dear?" seen from the look on the face of the Queen Mother, if the old woman is still reluctant to take off her favorite former daughter-in-law.
With a smile Reynchu replied. "really! I couldn't stay anymore." hearing that the Queen Mother could only sigh resignedly. He can't do anything when it's like this.
"Huh! Alright... Promise me, take care of yourself!" pinta Ibu Suri with full affection.
Reychu nodded, whether touched or not. "definitely. No need to worry, Queen Mother!"
Spreading his gaze towards Honorary Concubine Wang Jinji and Young General Long Wan Shie. "You guys... Take good care of yourself."
The two people who were meant to nod understood.
"That's for sure!" greet Young General Long Wan Shie with a charming smile implied by the sadness in it.
The young man was sad because they had to part.
"Haha... Don't sad... And so, get married. Hmm.." Reychu's tease. Mana held him to normal for too long.
The Young General's face immediately flushed. He can't even speak anymore.
"Be careful out there. There will not be as easy as here" said Wang Jinji reminded, not to forget also with his sweet smile.
"I knew. You also... Try to pay more attention to your husband." flirtatious flashes appeared in his eyes again. "When she cannot be Queen. You can still be a wise and dependable concubine for your husband. He would be much better after this." up and down his eyebrows towards Wang Jinji who immediately blushed in shame because of his actions.
"You are this." - Shame on it.
Reychu laughed crisply.
"alright. We have to go! Before the day began to night." his jade stared at the three men. "Goodbye and see you!" pamitnya while covering his fist in front of the chest with a little bowing respectfully.
The three men were also the others - the servants did the same as a form of their separation.
"Goodbye... Bye bye..."
Afterwards, Reychu and his friends turned around and left the gates of the fire country palace without looking back.
The story of the three friends who passed that time in the Huoli Kingdom of the Fire Nation ended here.
From here, the three and their newfound friend in ancient times will travel to an even wider world. With more challenges and obstacles than ever before. Certainly, all of that would make them feel like this time travel was not the slightest bit detrimental.
All of this is so much fun for them. Although Ryura never showed it through his expression.
