CHAPTER 10
THE EMPEROR toured Zelia around, they went sightseeing the view and the scenery of the Claw Clan. As expected, the Claw Clan is a big country, it has it's own beauty in each village that they went.
And of course, they have a bodyguards who's capable in martial arts and cable of protecting it's Majesty since they can't tour around as they please because they don't know when or when the enemies will strike.
Now they are in a wooden boat, only the two of them and the other wooden boat was ridden with the two person, namely Raves and Mae.
Zelia smiled at the Emperor, "Thank you for touring me around. I didn't know that the Claw Clan is this beautiful."
"It's my pleasure to do so."The Emperor said with expressionless expression.
Before she could talk, Mae interrupt them both, "Your Majesty, it's already time and it's almost for the festival later, we must go to the palace or else they might notice that the Emperor was gone."
The Emperor look at Zelia then she just smile at him, telling him that it's okay if they'll go back to the palace.
The Emperor sigh, "Okay."he said as he row the wooden boat that they are riding while Zelia was just sitting in the opposite direction, looking intently at The Emperor who's looking hot while rowing the boat.
The Emperor spoke while still rowing the boat back to it's post, "Why are you staring at me affectionately?"
Zelia laugh at what he said, "I'm not."
"I just saw you staring at me."The Emperor said make her chuckle.
"Okay, okay, you got me."Zelia admit while laughing.
"So, why are you staring at me? Hmm? Staring at the Emperor's face for a long time is a crime, you know."The Emperor said which made her burst into laugher.
She was holding her stomach from laughing as she wipe the tears that formed on her eyes due to laughter, "Damn. Who the hell is the one who made that kind of a law?"
The Emperor look at her, "It was me, got a problem with that?"
She chuckled as she smirk, "Oho... so you mean I can't stare you from now on?"
The Emperor look at her in a dull expression,"I didn't say that you can't."
"That's good since you're quite handsome and kinda hot, it's pleasing to watch you."She said as she wink at him making the Emperor cleared his throat as a smile slipped on his lips making Zelia awed expression as she saw the Emperor's smile a little then it went back to the poker faced one.
"I already know that I'm handsome. It's also part of my charm as the Emperor."He said making Zelia chuckled.
"Yeah, in that way you could capture any women's heart easily and add them to your harem list. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Since you don't know how to choose a proper woman to add to your harem, I'll help you find one and ofcourse I know that I'm the proper woman whom I was talking about but I can't be one of your harem so I'll just help you find one, alright?"Zelia said with a smile plastered on her lips and her eyes glimmers like she really wanted to help him find one.
The Emperor didn't say anything nor he bother's to respond, he's jaw clenched at what she just said yet he still manage to change his expression as a dull one.
Zelia look at him curiously but she still talk, "Anyways, since you're an Emperor you must be feeling bored you I might lend a hand to find you a beautiful woman who can warm your bed. But you also need an Empress who can manage your Clan and to help you ofcourse."
"No need, I don't need neither of what you suggested."He said as he stopped from rowing his boat since we are already at the post and he immediately got off the wooden boat and start walking.
While Zelia was left in confusion due to his action. "What the hell is wrong with him? It's not like I offended him in someways." She pouted as she continued talking to her self,"What I just said is true. Why bother have a harem in his palace if he will not use one of them to warm himself? Of course he must also enjoy his youth and days. Tsk." She said as she got off the boat and start walking to other direction of him.
She went sightseeing on his own since the Emperor just left her without a word. She was irritated as the same time annoyed.
"Damn. I didn't do anything. I just suggested a good opinion to help him, what's wrong with that? If he doesn't like to have a harem, they why have one in the first place? Tsk!" She's annoyed while talking to herself.
She messed her own hair in annoyance, " Argh! I'm so annoyed right now! His suppose to tour me and make me have fun by viewing and sightseeing the scenery yet he just walk on his own and leave me alone? Damn that Emperor! Just because he's the Emperor, doesn't mean that he can just do whatever he wants! Argh! I'm really annoyed right now, I'm not gonna forgive him even if he begs me! Hmp!" She said as she stumping her feet in annoyance.
"Miss! Miss!"Someone called her making her stop from walking as she look at the person who called him, and when she stop from walking, the man approach her with a smile plaster on his face.
Her brow raised, "What do you need?"
The man chuckled, "You're so gorgeous as soon as I laid my eyes on you."
"Ah, so cringe. Try another pick-up line. It won't work on me."She said sarcastically making the man's eyebrow wrinkled.
"Pick-up line? What's that?"He asked curiously making her sighed. She forgot that she's not in modern world.
"Pick up line is used to capture the heart and attention of a woman using some corny and cringe lines."She sarcastically said making him burst into laughter.
She look at her with a dull expression, "You done laughing?"
He nodded his head, "Yes, Yes. I'm done."
"What do you need?"She crossed her arms as she raised her brow, looking at the man in a blue robe, he also have a nice sky-blue color of his eyes.
'Is contact lenses already available here on this world? Why does everyone has a nice color of their eyes. The Emperor has a nice gold color of his eyes while this man has a sky blue color of it. I'm envious, I also want a grey one for my eyes.'Zelia said to her inner self.
Yes, Zelia tends to speak at her own self since there is no one, as in no one's gonna willing to listen to her complains that's why she speak at her own self.
The man with a long white with blue hair chuckled, "I need you to dress for later's festival?"
She smirk, "And? What's the compensation?"
The man also smirk, "300 gold coins."
"Deal. What do I have to do?"She asked him making him smile, "All you have to do is to dress with the one whom I made, are you family with any unique dances?"
"Yes, but I don't dance and I won't dance."She said.
"Okay, since you said it without a complain with wearing what I made... what can you do?"He asked while looking at her intently.
She rolled her eyes as she started counting her finger, "First, I know how to break your bones. Second, I know how to cut your tongue our of your mouth. Third, I can do martial arts enough to beat the s**t out of you. Fourth, I can smile nicely without hurting someone. Fifth, I love to kill someone using my own imagination. Do you need more of my talent? I have a lot of it." She said making his jaw dropped as his eyes widened in disbelief but in just a second, he burst in laughter.
"Damn. You are so funny."He said in between laughing.
"Who said I'm kidding?"Zelia said while looking at him seriously straight to his sky blue eyes making him stopped from laughing while his mouth was wide open as he look at her.
"You're serious?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"Zelia said sarcastically.
"Wow. Are you some kind of a hired assassin or a soldier maybe?"He asked with his eyebrow wrinkled in curiosity.
"I'm just a mere servant, don't mistook me for something like that."She said making his jaw dropped.
"Seriously?!"He said loudly.
She nodded, "Seriously."
"Damn."
"So, what do I have to do?"Zelia asked him.
"Since you can't dance, how about singing?"He asked him.
Zelia immediately nodded her head as soon as he mentioned singing. She knows how to sing since she love singing to reduce her stresses in work.
"Yeah, I can sing."She said.
"That's good. Let's go to my store to change your clothes, the banquet feast will start later."He said as he guided her to his store.
