Emperor's Reckoning

Fei retracted her face and sat down as she smiled at the shameless man. Who knows how many people regarded him as a gentleman who swooned the ladies with his charm and etiquette. Surely they would have puked blood if they saw what the man they admired just said.

"Oh my, aren't you a gentleman," teased Fei. Unlike the other young innocent girls, she was more mature in handling such a situation.

Many wondered how old she really was but who would dare to step up and faced death? Despite her young haircut, she had been there when Sylviana was still a little kid. She witnessed the ups and downs when her father was the ruler.

However, had she ever fallen in love when she was younger? Not even Sylviana knew about it. The maiden's heart inside her thump but she refused to bid her will. Her duty was more precious than her own feelings. Will that change in the future, will there be a time where she would just become a girl and fell in love, she too wondered about it.

Lyon rubbed his chin, "Well that depends, do you want me to be gentle or rough?"

She was taken back before she burst out laughing. She couldn't believe that those words were his response. She thought that if she asked her that question, he would shy away and dropped the topic. It was the first time that she met such an individual.

"You are shameless too," chuckled Fei.

Lyon opened his arms, "At this point, I don't know if its a praise or an insult."

"That's what a shameless would say," Fei laughed once more,

Both of them laughed before the atmosphere turned silent. They looked at each other as the depths of their eyes were close to infinite. Her face was on his and his face was on hers. Their heart thumped before a thunder suddenly struck the ground outside of the window.

Neither of them reacted to the thunderous sound even when the room flashed. A droplet of water started to fall and hit the glass before being followed by its brethren. The room soon turned cold but not as shivering.

Fei smiled, "Well, what do you want for the repayment for avenging me?"

Lyon contemplated for a while before he answered with a smile, "I don't know."

She had a confused look as she asked, "You don't, know?"

Lyon got up from the bed before he slowly approached the window. The rain downpour like a torrent as the weather was raging with a tempest. He forgot the time whether it was day or night but it didn't matter.

He knew that before long he must leave this world and went to the next. His journey won't end here, the time was still far away for him to settle down. The memories of his past life, the secret of his own death, the grandparents that loved him, the three wives that were waiting for his return.

What kind of reality was waiting for him in the future? Sometimes he felt overwhelmed with the thought. What if it was better or what if it was worse? In the end, he was not invincible, he was also a man.

Fei looked at the back of the young man. It was not as broad as the muscular guys in the soldier but it was more assuring than them. The feeling of safe exuded from his figure but she knew better. She knew that even he would feel cold.

Lyon opened his eyes wide as he suddenly felt a warm touch before two arms touching his chest from behind.

Despite the temperature getting lower and lower, the two of them kept their warmth for one another. Though her hands were smaller than his, he could feel the stream feelings of them being connected.

"Fei, what are you doing."

"Shh! Just enjoy the moment, I never did this either."

Though her face was blushing, she buried it on his back. This was not her being the person the attire she was mearing meant to be, this was her being a woman. It was so long that she probably forgot that she was first and foremost, a woman.

Was it love? She didn't know the answer to it either. She never tasted the feeling before.

He could feel her heartbeat against his back. It was thumping with vigor as blood rushes through her entire body and back.

She could feel his heartbeat against her hand. It had a calm rate as to prove his mature heart despite the romantic situation.

*flash

The room suddenly flashed before a flash of lightning struck the ground.

Fei opened her eyes wide as the man he was hugging from behind already turned around and planted his lips against her. Her figure slowly pushed back as Lyon walked forward.

*thud

The couple fell as they bounced a little on the bed. Their eyes immediately locked each other as they could feel each other's breath.

Contrary to Lyon's thought, Fei suddenly touched his face gently. She smiled as she muttered, "When I look at you this close, you are quite charming."

"However, the repayment stops here," said Fei as she touched his chest.

Lyon's face immediately grimaced as he furrowed his eyebrows in disappointment. "Then..."

Fei lightly pushed his figure away as she smiled, "If you want more, there is only one thing that you should do."

His grimaced face soon turned motivated as he clenched his fist, "What is it?"

Fei slowly approached the door while tidying up her bow tie. Her face put up a smile as she glanced back at the fired-up young man, "Make me fall in love."

Her requirement immediately washed away the horrible weather as the first ray of light penetrated the dark clouds behind him. He was dumbstruck with his mouth agape as the door slowly closed.

Behind the closed door, Fei closed her eyes as she made a slight cough. "You enjoyed the show miss?"

"Eek!" a shadow immediately scurried away from the corner.

"Get back here miss!" said Fei as she made chase.

-------------

Inside the room, Lyon retracted his agape mouth as a smirk occurred. Crossing his arm, he looked at the closed door.

"Sure! I will!" declared Lyon as he spun an item with pride in his hand. A white bra that was belonging to none other than hers, "Also, I take the token of your gratitude with a smile."
