Chapter 381 - WHAT?!

    Not thwarted by the grand scale invasion that almost happened, the beauty with auburn hair and tall figure carried her beloved without fail. With the blood still adorned her lips and his, she smiled as she could see an ind with a single castle protruding to the sky.


    Her eyebrows furrowed as she nced down and put a halt right above the Center City. She was hovering over the city only to see an empty street and dead air. Only the clouds and gale of the wind were present.


    Though there was not a single festive event, it was still the central part of this world. She smirked before she entered the castle that had no guards andnded her bare feet right on the paving way leading to a huge double door.


    Her nce was fixated toward the young man she held in her arms before she walked forward. The demeanor of a ruler was present with the way she walked and the fluttering cloak, but those eyes were of a lover instead.


    The world was theirs even when the dripping blood adorned the road that was meticulously designed by the architect of the empire. The sun had peaked, but the shimmering glow couldn''t surpass the radiant beauty of the strongest woman.


    The huge falcon didn''t dare to screech before she opened her wings and let the air flow halted her flight. Effectively slowing down the speed, Yunesia took a peek before her eyes opened wide. Her purple lips puckered up a smile as she put her finger on top of her lips. Meanwhile, the woman behind her furrowed her eyebrows, and her menacing sliver pupils squinted.


    "Patience, patience, now is not the time to reveal yourself, though I doubt that she didn''t notice us already."


    Lumina didn''t say a word before thetter continued, "I never thought that she would be here in Center City! Oh my, oh my, this is getting fun!"


    "Let''sy low and eavesdropped their conversation instead, the lucky boy, howe he is asleep at this kind of time, fufufu..."


    The falcon slowly hovered over the city before gradually reducing her altitude before hiding on top of a nearby tree. It was probably the worst hiding ce a falcon that size had ever hidden her entire life, but the city''s terrain was never her natural habitat.


    Lumina furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the scene in front of them. A lone woman was standing right in front of the double door. Her gown was made from the finest silk and her demeanor was astoundingly royal, even the way she stood proved nothing but ss. Her eyshes basked in mor but her eyes were sharp as she looked at the woman carrying a young man in her arms.


    "Cecile..."


    "Hm?"


    The empress halted her footsteps before she nced up to the woman that was standing on the top of most of the stairs. Her hands were sped together as she looked at the former.

    "Who is that in your arms?" the woman asked coldly.


    "Does it matter to you, aunty?" answered Cecile coldly.


    Despite being the niece, she showed no sign of lowering herself toward thetter. A difference in generation meant nothing for the wife of the young man that was recuperating in perhaps the best ce in the world.


    "Tch, you are still uptight and cocky I see. I guess there is no cure for that."


    "You are still nosy I see, want me to shorten it?"


    "Wha?!"


    The contour on her face changed the moment Cecile finished her brutal words. There was not even a slight pause for aeback before she was taken back. She was bittered by her unruly niece but she knew that thetter was a capable woman.


    "I''m sorry aunty, but I''m afraid I can''t entertain you right now."


    "You! Heh, hahaha, where do you think you''re going? This castle belongs to the Nistan now."


    Cecile chuckled as she shook her head. She took one step on the stair before putting another one, slowly approaching the bewildered woman at the top.


    "W-what are you doing?! Go away, didn''t you look around?! Your citizen is gone!"


    "Didn''t you look around, you are the only Nistan here."


    Cecileughed before she was a step away from reaching the same ground as her. However, her tall figure made it possible that their eyes paralleled with each other from her current position.


    (What is she saying?) thought the woman before she realized that there were no signs of the army anywhere. She did saw them going to the east with her bare eyes but why didn''t theye back to Central City? The question made her pupils shrunk in disbelief before Cecile casually stepped up and walked past her.


    "Thank you for chasing out the rats in the city, I couldn''t do it without you."


    Cecileughed before she opened the huge double door with a slight twitch of her eyebrows. The gale that was produced from opening it fluttered the woman''s hair as her face turned ugly.


    Like a g that was fluttering, her cloak waved as she walked inside her house, leaving the stumped woman in disbelief. The absolute authority belonged to her and her alone. Cecile brought the young inside as her feet stepped on the red carpet. There stood a throne that she had not been using in a long time in front.


    "We have all the time in the world Lyon, just take it easy okay," Cecile muttered as she nced against the sleeping young man in her arms.


    "GRRR! CECILE!"


    The empress furrowed her eyebrows before she turned around and saw the frantic woman whose hair was disheveled from her own anger. However, she soon turned a smile as a figure appeared behind thetter.


    "I never thought that you would visit me in such a time mother. Your ways are always immacte and unpredictable. You have your way with fate."


    The woman immediately had her eyes opened wide before she felt a presence standing right behind her. It was a presence of grand authority that she could only gulp in nervousness. She couldn''t dare to look back before a gentle voice with a hint of killing intent whispered inside her ears.


    "It is best for you to go home. I''m here to see my daughter don''t disturb us... younger sister."


    "Eeek!"


    She immediately felt her cor was pulled before she was thrown away to the ground. Landing on her butt, she could only re a mere second before her spine felt a cold chill from thetter''s sharp eyes. There was no mercy visible inside those beautiful ck pearl eyes of hers, not even toward her own younger sister. Her hair was pitch-ck rather than auburn like her daughter''s.


    "You have been diluted by your husband. Craving the treasures of the Treas family that you even dare to fight your own sibling for it. Don''t be so blind, I don''t want to lose you, younger sister, so please, don''t involve my family in this foolishness. This is thest warning I will give, the army that you bribed out of my daughter is yours to take."


    The woman gritted her teeth before saying, "Older sister, don''t you dare tell me that you don''t want to inherit the inheritance! It is the curse that we must abide by! No men or women could withstand their desire against such vast treasury!"


    The beautiful mature woman replied, "I do, that''s why father decided to split the treasures into three, however, you and Alrude wanted more, you fight each other before I knew it."


    She let out a sigh before closing the door against her. She knew that her younger sister was a lost cause just like his little brother, but she couldn''t help but try to ease their desire as their older sister. (This is the problem with being rich right after born, sometimes, I wish that I would have spent my time more with them during their childhood. However, we never really experience sorrows together, I guess our sibling rtionship is too thin to mend this mess, however, at least my daughter is...?!).


    "Cecile?"


    "Yeah?"


    "Who is that? And why is there blood on your lips?"


    Only now did she noticed that her daughter got a man in her arms. This muscr auburn beauty daughter of hers actually carried a man when it was supposed to be the opposite, at least, how the old tales went.


    "Remember when I told you that I already got a husband?"


    "That was when you were just a kid, of course, I remember it well. I mean, you even told grandfather that."


    "Well, here he is... on the flesh."


    "Huh? WHAT?!"


    Her words stunned her that she didn''t notice that there was a green jade light shooting into the sky. Her mouth gaped against this tall daughter of hers.. Even though she was filled with riches, she would have never thought that her visit today would end up being a meeting with her son-inw.
