《The Emperor Wouldn't Approve(GL)》Ch. 3 That night leaving the ball(part 2)
Advertisement
Young Kel, hurriedly beckoned his driver. " Go fast nimwit, I don't have all day."
The driver shakily rode the horse faster. Causing Kel to get dizzy and barf. When the driver heard, abruptly slowed down. But, it was too late.
"You're dead, peasant!" Kel grabbed a knife, from his seat. Holding it to his driver's neck. His driver, silvered. Fearing for his life. 'No wonder, pay is high.' he thought to himself.
Until he felt blood dripping onto his clothes, covering it in blood."What are you thinking of?"Kel questioned. He ignored the bloody mess.
''Nothing, Sir." his driver replied. Riding till he forgot, the knife to his neck. Suddenly, Kel removed the knife from his neck. He breathed out slowly. Kel throwed a white handkerchief, to his driver. "You better catch, that peasant!" Kel ordered.
He barely caught the handkerchief. Tying it to his neck, to stop blood loss. Steadily riding at the same time."Than- ank you, Sir." He politely replied. Kel rolled his eyes, annoyed.
"Quiet peasant, I can't have you dying" Kel laid against the wall in the carriage. Resting his eyes. He rode, perfectly paced. Until he arrived, in front of the palace.
Kel was fast asleep. He had to wake him. "Sir, We've arrived." There was no movement from the backseat. 'I don't wanna, disrupt his sleep.' he thought to himself.
'Oh well, it's better to risk it.' He turned around, to wake Kel. Shocked by his beautiful face. With his pale face and beautiful white hair. He paused. 'Too bad he's crazy.' he thought. "Sir, We've arrived!" he slightly yelled.
Awaking Kel, out of his sleep. Leaps out of his seat, choking him. Slowly losing, air. He knows, his time's up.

Kel angrily spat, "How dare, a peasant... Yell at Me!"
The driver felt life, leaving his body. Til his body went, limp. Kel stops, throwing the body out of the carriage.
Kel sighed," Another stupid, peasant... dare to touch me." Wiped his hand with a handkerchief. Fixing his clothes and hair. Putting a smile on his face. Gracefully, exiting his carriage. Walking to the main palace. As the guards, let him in. With their heads down.
Kel looked at them, smiling. "Someone, clean my carriage...there was a little accident." They nodded their heads. 'Yes, sir." One of the guards ran to take care of the mess.
The other guards awkwardly stood. Kel left for the main palace. Letting their breaths out. One of the guards said," Another unfortunate servant."
"Yeah, man." the other guard agreed.
"Shush, both of you...you know walls have ears." the guard that cleaned the mess.
At the main palace...
Kel arrived at his dad's chambers. The guards at the door inform them of his arrival. They open the door for him. Kel smiles at the guards. They silver after he walks in. At once, closing the doors. Going back to their posts.
Kel sees his parents, looking concerned. "What's wrong, son/" the emperor says. With his mother, seating beside him. She worriedly looks at him. Kel sorrily looks to his parents.
"Sorry, for worrying you both."He says in shame. With his head down.
"Son, hold your head up...tell us what's wrong." his mother softly, spoke.
"Kel, hold your head up, NOW!" The emperor ordered.
"Yes.sir." Kel lifted his head. Then sat in front of his parents. Clears his throat. Looking at his parents. "There was a beauty, I saw at the ball." Kel brightly said.

"So, this is what you came to tell us." The emperor angrily grumbled. His mom, calm his dad.
"Son, your father values his time." his mother spoke.
"Mother, this is important... or I wouldn't dare waste time."
"Continue, I'm listening." The emperor said, annoyed.
Kel understood, then sadly spoke," The beauty shows, no attraction to me."
"So, what son...not every lover showed affection at first."
"It seems she has a lover," Kel says sadly.
"Dear, any lady would love you...just swat the fly."His mother softly says.
"Tes, mother... I'll do as advised."Kel smiles.
"Son, but who's this girl?" The emperor asked."Yeah, son what's her status."
"She's a princess, from the Shin Kingdom." Kel proudly said. His mother was shocked by his decision. Holding her chest. Not noticing the Emperor's hand, swing across Kels face. Leaving a red mark on his pale skin. Grabbing his face, in pain. His mother stops, the emperor from swinging again.
"Are you insane...Kel, that princess is off-limit."
"But...dad she's important to our plan."
"You mean concerning, her kingdom." The emperor was slightly interested."Indeed, father."Kel added. "She's Princess Sunny ...and will benefit as well.'' Kel smiles at his father.
"But, how will you control her, son?" Kel says.
"I'll take her as my empress," Kel says, which enrages his father. His father glares at him.
"Son, you know the empress, mustn't be from an enemy's territory."The emperor states furiously.
" Father, she won't have any power or control over the kingdom." Kel smugly says.
"I see,..that my son, right there," The emperor proudly says."You remind me of when I was young."He said, to Kel's mother, smiling. She slightly smiles, back to Kel. "Indeed, honey I see that, too."
"Dad, we can use her to gain control of her kingdom and capture it."Kel says with his head high." "How, so?." The emperor questioned. "Her family is very close to the current emperor." "And probably knows of secrets, they hold.", Kel explains.
'Okay, I'll approve of her but...she must become your puppet." The Emperor urges. Leaving no room for disagreement. Kel nods in agreement."Understand, Kel."
"Yes, father."
Kel bows, to his father and mother. With a smile on, his face. The emperor grabs Kel to stop him from bowing. "I shall take my leave father." The emperor nods to him. His mother tightly hugs him. Then, let him go.
"Is there something wrong, mother?"Kel concernedly asked. The emperor glared at Kel's mother. She timidly said," Nothing son, just follow your path."
"Okay, mother.", Kel said. Leaving the main palace, going back to his chambers.
His mother stares at where Kel was, without her smile. Holding back her tears. Quietly sitting on the emperor's lap, as she roughly kisses her neck. The emperor smiles, smugly.
"What a good son, honey." "Yes indeed...indeed he's."
She softly agrees, hugging the emperor.

8 117Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.
