Emperor's Reckoning

They crashed on Garuda's mansion without a care in the world. Though the host of the place was still exploring the graveyard that Cecile had mentioned, Lyon and the other couldn't care less.

"Hmm..." Lyon muttered as he left the auburn woman to rest. He had done everything he could to boost her recuperating capabilities and get her the best environment possible.

"Maybe, it's a good idea to have a house?" muttered Lyon before his ears twitched as he heard footsteps.

She had purple hair but not as violet as Luna. Short hair with maid attire.

"Fei?" called out Lyon.

"Long time no see, Lyon," said Fei as she slightly bowed.

"Hehe," Lyon smiled wryly as he scratched his head. He had not seen her for a while. The last time he did, he didn't speak to her since he was adamant to kill Kaiju Loh.

She didn't attend the banquet either with the rest since she was taking care of Sylviana at the inn.

"Speaking of which, how is the silver-haired woman doing?" asked Lyon as he raised one of his eyebrows while leaning back toward Cecile's door.

*Crack

The door actually opened.

"Wah?!" Lyon fell on his butt. (I can't believe my cool moment just bite me back!) thought Lyon before he let out a sigh.

Fei chuckled as she stood right in front of Lyon before lending her hand.

The youth smiled before accepting the kind gesture.

"Thanks," said Lyon.

Fei shook her head, "If you want to thank me, go see her."

"She has woken up?"

"She is currently looking for you," Fei winked.

"Hah! If you think I'm still the same virgin youth as that time when I'm in Nostria, then you're absolutely right! Where is she?!" said Lyon as he grabbed both of her shoulders.

Fei was at a loss for words as she dazed after hearing his words. The substantial level of his shamelessness did not decrease even one shed off a bit since the last time she saw her.

She smile wryly as she suddenly remembered the last time where she showed him her scar.

"She is in her room of course, where else could she be? That lazy queen won't change unless you do something about it."

"Ah, you are playing the matchmaker, aren't you?" said Lyon as he grinned.

"I'm sorry, but I have no idea what is the term matchmaker, now if you excuse me, I need to get to the kitchen and brew some of her tea since she likes it a lot," Fei excused herself.

Lyon suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Hm?" Fei turned around, "Is something the matter?"

Lyon looked at her face with a glint inside his eyes, "Fei, I will never forget what you've done to me."

"Oh? What do you mean by that perhaps? You always make it sounds so obscure and ambiguous," teased Fei with a smile.

"I mean the time where you give me that money to eat, a shelter to sleep, though, it was probably Sylviana's idea too but you take part in it," said Lyon.

Fei was slightly surprised by his words. The young man in front of her was too wondrous for her to compare to anyone else. In less than a year, he had risen his cultivation kin to a goldfish leaping into dragon's gate.

His deeds had unanimously unified Deo. Even though Nostria was nothing but a lesser kingdom compared to the others. His appearance changed them all.

Yet, despite all that. Despite being labeled the most dangerous person to be offended in Mortal World, he was still humble as if he was the person whose being bandaged all over his body like back then, though, it was not much.

"And I, with the rest of Nostria will never forget you, our hero, or should I say... future king of Nostria?" Fei chuckled as she turned around and left the young man.

Lyon smiled before he turned around and walked to the opposite side.

"Sylviana... that reckless woman," muttered Lyon as he smiled whilst shaking his head. He had never thought that he would meet her in that place.

"That alternate version of her is really annoying though. What's up with that battle crazed form anyway," Lyon let out a sigh.

One was a tsundere type of a girl the other one was straight-up crazy.

Before he knew it he was standing right in front of the room where Sylviana was put by Fei. She had been sleeping for the whole major events like a log.

"Heh," Lyon let out a sinister grin before he kicked the door open.

"GOOD AFTERNOON!"

"AH!!" The silver-haired woman jumped in fright like a cat.

"Hahaha!" Lyon laughed while clenching his stomach.

"You! Don't you know how to knock?!" said Sylviana before she pouted her face away.

"I did though, hahaha!" said Lyon with his proud laughter.

"That's barging in!" said Sylviana as she pointed at him with slight tears on the edges of her eyes. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"To check up on you?" said Lyon before he grabbed a nearby chair and sat on it in reverse. "*Sigh, how are you feeling?"

Sylviana slightly blushed and the cute red hue on her cheeks could topple kingdoms to war, "I-I'm fine, I suppose."

"Suppose?" Lyon tilted his head slightly.

"I'm... grr. I'm fine alright!" Sylviana pouted. The introvert queen was definitely having a hard time talking to an unpredictable specimen such as him.

"You're hungry, aren't you," said Lyon as he narrowed his eyes.

Sylviana felt a cold shiver as her eyebrows slightly jolted.

Seeing her reaction, he knew he was right. "It's a given though, you've been sleeping this whole time haha. Did you know what I did the whole time you sleep?"

"What? You probably got drunk and destroy a banquet once again? Or did you go all out and destroy a kingdom?" sneered Sylviana.

This time, it was Lyon's turn to get slightly jolted.

"You... did?" Sylviana raised both of her brows.
