Reychu's eyes blinked a few times innocently. He was slightly amazed at the speed of gossip in the palace environment where he was currently located. Not expecting, when just earlier he planned to do a show with Rayan but it seems will no longer be fun because it spreads too quickly. He even felt no sensation.
A while ago, when Rayan whispered something to him. "This idea is... Make people think I'm here to be the Emperor's gift. After that let us see, how much jealousy his women the Emperor of Harem had." hearing that, it was difficult for Reychu to refuse. Because basically, he was very interested in doing so. But, who would have guessed that in the middle of the road to the Emperor's residence, he and Rayan had to meet Grand Concubine Gong Dahye. This led to an acceleration on their playing plans both.
It seemed, as the conversation was happening several unexpected pairs of ears had stolen the hearing of the conversation. As a result, failure is what is achieved at this time.
It was just that, it had never occurred to him that it would really be this fast. What makes their mouth so big? So it was easy to throw from one mouth to the other until the entire palace knew about it in no time! Pretty impressive, he thinks.
"What... What should I explain?!" reychu asked a little lethargic when he felt the game was not exciting at all. The Emperor had even figured it out sooner than he expected. Moreover, he had yet to make it to the Emperor's study. wasn't that annoying?!
It feels bad to remember that. Because, it shouldn't be like this the way of the plan...
"Ck! What'sthis?! Not fun at all!" his grunts in heart, not much different from Rayan.
"For the first time, I felt it was a waste to give an idea! Poor thing!" batin Rayan was flat with no more interest.
"About him!" appoint Emperor Li Hanzue to Rayan who is standing right beside Reychu. Looking at the designated direction, Reychu automatically looked at Rayan.
"Huh! Your Majesty! You've been wrong! This is my guest! I just came here to introduce him to you at once to ask your permission to let him stay at my residence!" rolling his eyes lazily unconsciously. "I'm not sebod*h it gives you a beautiful girl again after you even have Concubines who are no less beautiful. Not only were they beautiful, they were even more capable of making my husband ignore me and dump me. Why should I give her another girl?! Have I lost my sanity?!" Reychu shook his head in mockery. Too lazy to bring up things that are not at all important to him. But, subconsciously he had just brought it up.
Hearing the empress's very open explanation made Emperor Li choke on his own saliva. He also felt something stab in his heart as his wife said her sentence. For a moment, it felt like a boomerang. What he had done was as if he had now turned to her.
"Ehem! Alrighty! Then then! Do whatever you want! She's your guest, Empress." clumsily Emperor Li said, handing over everything Ahn Reychu wanted to himself. Letting his wife do whatever she wants, all at once to atone for the sin she has committed on her now beloved wife.
Although his love for Grand Concubine Gong Dahye has not faded.
"alright. Because, Your Majesty has already said it. We will resign now. Excuse me!" as soon as Reychu finished with his words and did his respects before leaving. The man in power in the fire country had already stopped him first.
"Empress Ahn!" the eyes of the two looked at each other. "There's something I want to talk to you about." turned to Rayan who was still standing next to Reychu. "You can already leave us both" he said firmly.
Reychu turned towards Rayan. "Wait for me in front or you can take a walk first. I'm sure you remember the way home, don't you?" reychu said without forgetting to leave a trail of his successful ledge to make Rayan clucked in annoyance.
"Okay, Your Majesty!" respectfully Rayan before he finally left the Emperor's study.
The Emperor's workspace was now filled only by Reychu and Li Hanzue. The two of them seemed to be silent as if no one wanted to start a conversation. This made Reychu annoyed, too lazy and a waste of time he thought that only to look at the handsome face of Emperor Li Hanzue who was not even a speck able to melt his heart.
For a moment it closed. "Heh. What Ahn Reychu saw from this man. A handsome? Be that as it may. But, if the others? What to be proud of. There was nothing interesting in the slightest." as he eyes observed Li Hanzue directly.
The man felt it and it made him a little misbehaved. His ears even turned red without anyone knowing. Confused what to behave like. Afraid that she misbehaved her empress would completely abandon her.
"Ehem. I want to talk to you about something!" said Emperor Li with a firm tone which instead made Reychu turn his eyes panted, not forgetting to sigh lazily.
"You told me about that. I want to get straight to the point. You kept my guests waiting!" reychu spray relaxed, without seeing the change in the face of the Emperor who suddenly ugly because it felt not considered important more than his own wife's guests.
Breathe patiently and begin to express what he wants to say.
"I plan to make dinner together tonight" Emperor Li said.
Raise next to his eyebrows. "That's all?"
"No. I intend to announce something to the others. But, I thought I'd tell you first." The emperor said so only in order to give his empress a good impression. The emperor wanted his wife to see that she was prioritized over the others. All of this is to start over from the beginning. Repairing their relationship that has been stretched since the beginning. At the very least, this could be a way to reunite two already distant hearts.
"What's that?" reychu asked indifferently, he did not even feel the intention of the Emperor behaving so. All he had in mind was when he could get out of this room.
"Dine tonight. I would like to invite everyone to perform a prayer ritual at the royal temple of Huoli tomorrow. I want to invite everyone to ask for a blessing from God to give smoothness to the birth process of the successor to this kingdom in a month" he explained without hesitation but very careful, afraid that the queen would feel sad because of this.
But, unfortunately. The emperor saw no trace of grief on his wife's face. Seeing that, his heart became sad. His mind wandered back to a time where he did not pay any attention to it. Even Emperor Li was very indifferent to his wife just now.
The man in charge of the fire country could only sigh heavily, as he suddenly felt something stifling his chest.
"Oh. That's up to you. You don't have to tell me what you want to do with whoever it is." he said. "I hope you haven't forgotten what I said before. As for me who will no longer deal with everything about you or anything related to you." he explained, not caring that the Emperor's face had become gloomy from hearing the words he said.
"You must not forget either. I don't intend to hold the position of empress any longer. So, sooner or later. You must be ready to issue our divorce decree." he said, the Emperor darkened instantly.
"You think I'll grant it?! That's not gonna happen!" sharp because of anger. Emperor Li could not accept hearing that.
Although he had often heard his wife filed for divorce. Still, it was always able to provoke his anger. He sometimes did not know what his wife was thinking, so he wanted to part with her. Even though he understood the pain he had once inflicted on his heart.
"So, stop saying that every time we're talking!" he just doesn't want to be denied. Unfortunately, the one being spoken to was Reychu Velicia not Ahn Reychu.
Raise his hand to cross his chest. "I'm not going to stop. I'll keep reminding you that I want us to be apart as soon as possible. You can't think everything's easy. Just because now you've started opening your heart to me. Before, where have you been?" it seems that the debate is starting to happen again.
"Ahn Reichu! Why are you becoming more and more rebellious now!" angry Emperor Li.
"You don't take it?! How funny! Haha... How can you behave so arrogantly in front of me like this?! Do you think I'll be scared?! Listen carefully! Your old empress is gone and it's all because of you. So, the empress who is now in front of you is a girl who will soon be holding the status of your former empress! I want you to remember that forever! Do you understand?!" press Reychu on every word he says. Without making Emperor Li suspicious that Reychu had told the facts about him indirectly.
The Emperor was silent after his wife's long sentence escaped from his mouth. It really hit her right in the heart. He knows his mistakes in the past, so he intends to correct them. But, it seems the wife does not intend to give him a second chance.
His eyes stared pushyly and sorrowfully at the indifferent Reychu.
"Can! Origin when the time comes. That decree you have to hand over to me!" The emperor had no more words to say. He felt like he really didn't have a chance anymore. He is the Emperor, but why is he helpless.
"Make me considerate!" his exchange was immediately struck with Reychu's refusal.
"No! That's my absolute request! So, you don't want to have to obey my wishes! You must still remember, no, what contribution I have made to your kingdom and the spaciousness of my chest that let you trample on my feelings with your beloved concubine! This is my first and last request!" reychu dramatically revealed it. "You can't possibly ignore it, right?!" he continued who was indirectly able to suppress the helplessness of Emperor Li Hanzue who was getting lethargic on his throne.
Emperor Li's eyes closed as he let out a heavy and long sigh. He could no longer refuse.
"For the plan you're referring to. I don't have any opinion on that. It's all up to you. I just wanted to ask... Is the matter regarding your two dead Concubines over? My advice, don't add to the problem again. Their families will be very unhappy if you hold a prayer ritual for the successor to this kingdom while the situation is still mourning. Although they are concubines, the support of their families is still needed as a leader" Reychu said. Although he actually did not really mean to say it like a wise man. Because, that's not his style. That he did just wanted to slightly imitate the style of the previous owner of the body.
The Emperor's head nodded in understanding. "I've thought about that!"
"Good! Then I'll go now! Linger with you will only make me lazy!" the ceplos don't care. The Emperor could only sigh at hearing it.
"Excuse me!"
After saying that, Reychu turned around and left without looking back. Letting the Emperor stare into his wife's back and then disappear with the door closed again.
He looked down at his desk and snorted at himself.
"Stupid!"
Both of Rayan's ears were covered with both palms. Putting on a flat and lazy face. Walking in tandem without caring for the figure who was laughing loosely with no grace beside him. Although he did not know what happened, but Rayan could guess that in Emperor Li's study there had been something that made it difficult for his friend to stop his laughter. Want to say that he was embarrassed to walk beside his best friend, because it was always the scorn of the palace residents from high to low caste. However, it cannot. At least, it is not classified as an unfaithful friend.
Look at how Reychu was still laughing who was somehow laughing at what, only the girl knew.
Because of his behavior, not a few who say it crazy and began to lose his sanity. However, it was not Reychu's name if he cared about such trifles. Fortunately, Rayan knew very well what kind of person this girl beside her was. So no need to be dizzy. But, still. Reychu's behavior never gets good value in the eyes of Rayan, considering that Rayan always prioritizes appearance both in dress and attitude. Although, not as formal and elegant as the nobles behave.
"Stop, Rey!" annoyed Rayan finally he raised his voice with a little growling. His hands have not yet been lowered because Reychu has not shown any signs of calm.
"Haha... It hard... Haha... Gee whiz... Hahaha.." wiped the tears that had come out of the corner of his eyes. Reychu looks very happy.
"Huh! Rey, take you. Don't forget you're still in Huoli kingdom. We haven't left here yet. Which means you haven't been able to act so carelessly." Rayan scolded Reychu for his role in this palace.
"Uhukis... Ahem... Youre right. I am still an Empress." Reychu justified Rayan's words while simultaneously justifying his attitude. "Ray, you want to know what's going on inside?" haggling without being asked.
Glanced at a glance before finally shaking the reject sign. "No, thank you!"
But it seemed, the rejection meant nothing to Reychu. In fact, the girl kept saying what she wanted to say.
"good. I'm telling you. Inside, I argued with him. He talked to me about the ritual of prayer for the smooth birth of this royal successor. Wonder... What he thought until he took the initiative to tell me. It's not like him." Rayan rolled her eyes to hear Reychu's words that were impressed as if she was an innocent girl who understood nothing.
Rayan who heard it alone could already draw an outline to Emperor Li's intentions on his attitude towards Reychu.
"Huh. You are bod*oh or plain, heh?!" ryan lazily explained. "If the Emperor does so, it means you're starting to become his priority. She doesn't want you to be misunderstood. If, at the same time as the others. So, the Emperor took steps to inform you first. Other than because you are the Empress in this kingdom, it is also because you are the woman who is currently the longing of Emperor Li. This way he thinks that he will get a chance to repeat your relationship for the better." Rayan explained.
"Is that so?" he chuckles funny. "Daradly so... I'm not the real Ahn Reichu. How hard he tried to look good in front of me. That's not gonna change anything. Hehehe.." he said without hesitation. He believed it without correction, as if he could see that his destiny was not in this fire country.
Rayan no longer said anything and just walked hand in hand with the servants who were still trailing behind them.
As Reynolds said. The girl intended to take Rayan around the palace by walking casually, as well as returning to residence after touring.
Along the way, Reychu introduced what he already knew in this palace. Do not want to waste the opportunity to act as a tour guide.
While being busy enjoying the beautiful scenery in the palace environment. Suddenly about 3 people walking from the opposite direction paused for a moment to salute the Empress Ahn Reychu and were met with a glance by Reychu. Then, they again continued their steps just like Reychu and the troupe.
For a moment Rayan stopped to turn her head to look at the three people who looked white-clothed left.
"Fishermen. Come on!" call Reychu when he finds out his best friend isn't following him.
"Oh... Yep!" while looking at it for the last time, then he continued his steps to follow Reychu again.
