Chapter 508: 508 - Emperor (03)
It was a dark night, and the Blue Tower was silent, except for a man’s voice and the faint whimpering of a child.
"You shouldn’t have been born. I knew it, your mother knew it. She should have killed you in the womb." A hoarse, powerful voice echoed as a man leaned toward a little girl.
The girl had short blue hair and eyes of the same color. From her appearance, she was no more than twelve years old.
"Yet here you are, alive and breathing. I offered riches to your mother, sent her away, avoided staining my hands with the blood of my own flesh. I truly hoped never to see you again."
The man’s voice hardened, clearly filled with hatred.
Tears streamed down the little girl’s face, but he didn’t care.
"However, you’ve returned. You’ve shown your talent to the Blue Tower and risen as a disciple of that damned Ice Mage. I have no problem with that, but..." The man gritted his teeth, ripping a necklace from the girl’s neck.
It was gold, colored by small blue gems.
It was the necklace he had given the girl’s mother, back when he still had affection for her.
A necklace that should only be given to the Emperor’s children.
Yet, that little girl appeared with that necklace.
Didn’t that mean she was a bastard?
Rumors spread quickly.
The Emperor stood up, breaking the necklace between his fingers.
"Tell me, child, didn’t your mother tell you the importance of this thing? Give me a reason not to gouge out your eyes and dye your hair red with your own blood." He growled, releasing a strand of mana, watching as the girl gasped for air.
He moved his hand, forming a blade of mana.
"That’s enough." In the next second, a hand appeared, grabbing the Emperor’s wrist.
It was a man in blue robes. A long beard and piercing dark eyes were all that was visible under his hood.
He was the Master Mage of the Blue Tower, a powerful and legendary expert of the Twelfth Ring.
"Little Sapphire is my disciple now. She is above your family dramas and your honor as a just Emperor of immaculate virtue. The Master Mage spoke, holding the Emperor’s hand tightly.
"You..." The Emperor growled, gritting his teeth before turning his back.
It wasn’t worth picking that fight, not when the Master Mage of the Blue Tower had such affection for that damn bastard.
Sapphire just stood there, clutching her chest as she cried uncontrollably, watching her father leave.
Why did things have to be this way?
Why did her father hate her so much? She couldn’t understand...
***
Qingyi listened to the whole story in silence, with Sapphire still in his arms.
"Your father... he’s probably a demonic cultist. Did you know about this?" Qingyi asked, stroking Sapphire’s long blue hair.
"No... we’ve barely been in contact since that day. I don’t even know why he didn’t just send someone to kill me at the first chance he got.
Perhaps because the damage to his immaculate reputation had already been done..." Sapphire replied, her voice still a little tearful.
"I... I understand." The young man said, closing his eyes and taking a moment to think.
Naturally, bastard children were a big problem for the imperial royalty. Especially in a country where monogamy is the norm and polygamy is, for many, a sin.
The current Emperor was tens of thousands of years old, all of them flawless. Not a single blemish attributed to him.
At least, not until Sapphire’s appearance.
The handsome young man clenched his teeth, a thin thread of anger appearing on his face. Who did that filthy pig think he was to see one of his women as a mistake?
In the end, Qingyi suppressed it, calming his heart and placing a kiss on Sapphire’s forehead.
"I’ll fix this, I promise..." He hugged her a little tighter, feeling her relax in his arms. Her breathing grew calmer and calmer as her eyes closed.
She fell asleep in the arms of her beloved. He remained motionless, just watching her sleep, feeling the weight of her breasts pressed against his chest, his hands massaging the perfect, creamy skin of her ass.
When Sapphire woke up, it was already getting dark. Her eyes widened as she turned her face toward Qingyi.
"Did I fall asleep...? For how long?" she asked, getting up, her breasts bouncing with the movement.
"Hm... the whole day." Qingyi laughed, also getting up. He pulled Sapphire toward him and gave her ass a firm slap, grabbing her pale, milky skin firmly.
"Nghnn~~ Husband!" Sapphire squealed, burying her face in Qingyi’s chest.
"Let’s go," he said, looking at the horizon beyond the bedroom window. "It’s late, Celestia must be worried."
"Hm... that little priestess is always like that, fufufu~~" Sapphire giggled, stretching and then relaxing, regaining some of her sparkle.
From what Sapphire knew of Celestia, she was probably praying for Auranys, asking her to bless everyone there.
It was cute.
After thinking for a moment, Sapphire paused.
"Have you ever heard Auranys’ voice?" She asked Qingyi.
He thought for a brief moment. "Technically yes, although she’s not very happy with me, hahaha."
Hearing that, Sapphire paused for a moment, her face taking on a thoughtful expression before sighing.
"Celestia told me about the prophecy, about hearing Auranys’ voice telling her to always stay by your side... You’re not serious about taking a goddess as your wife, right?"
"What do you think?" Qingyi responded to her question with another question, flashing a big smile that made Sapphire shudder.
Was he serious?
A real goddess?
Didn’t he know about Auranys’ power? Even magicians from the Twelfth Ring were weak in front of her.
A million thoughts ran through the beauty’s mind, but in the end, all that remained was a soft smile as she accompanied Long Qingyi out of her room.
"Hubby’s greed really knows no bounds, huh?" She laughed loudly, quickening her pace.
