Elf Princesses
Episode 25's. Repatriation
A few days later
"When is my return schedule?" zac asked Edward as he tidied up his clothes.
"Maybe it will be noon, Sire." replied Edward who was also busy, he tidied the files in Zac's room at that time.
"I. want to go for a while," Zac fell silent and remembered something. After hearing Edwrad's story, he thought he should pay more attention to Rubby so that the relationship goes well.
"Do you really want to buy a gift for the Empress?" edwrad asked his forehead.
"Yes, I think I should find him myself" Zac smiled faintly.
"What?" Edwrad again scrunched his forehead. Men like Zac, want to buy women stuff???
Goodness, may Your Majesty not buy the strange for Madame Rubby.
Meanwhile, on the other hand right where Rubby is, Goncalves Palace (Park )
"How long will your Majesty be there?" rubby asked Jeina with her position sitting in the garden chair while reading the novel book she had just bought a few days ago.
"Uhm..maybe tonight? Well, you see, your Majesty has traveled quite a long way! It was also said that His Majesty would start riding the horse carriage during the day." Jeina replied thoughtfully.
"About what time will he be home?" Rubby asked again.
"I can't be sure, but.. She must have gone home about a few minutes before dinner." replied Jeina smiling. "Is there anything you want to tell him?" Jeina asked.
Rubby just shook his head. He breathed a rough breath and answered. "I just remembered my promise to eat with His Majesty. Since the day that His Majesty invited me to eat together, it felt like we had only done it once" Rubby said.
"But, if indeed Your Majesty comes home tonight, I don't think we can eat together tonight either, because he must be exhausted" Rubby continued and refocused his gaze on a novel entitled. "See! My bunny turned real!" the novel has been popular lately among the nobility. And of course the publisher is a famous author who is none other than Madam Leona, the Wife of Marquess Voter.
Rubby had no intention of buying it. He rarely reads such novels. Especially romantic-teen themes.
But it doesn't feel good because Madam Leona forced her to read her novel. He even said that if Rubby did not want to buy it, Madam Leona would give it for free. He even said that Rubby should not focus too much on her work as empress, and novels are one way to fill free time and clear your mind.
Because it is not 'ethical' if the rich woman of high status as Empress got free goods on request, eventually Rubby was forced to buy and read it. And. maybe there's no bad also reading teen novels, after all, he also has free time lately. Because ever since Zac left the city, nobility has come to the palace. So, Rubby filled his free time by chatting with Jeina, the three fairies, or reading novels.
After reading a few pages, Rubby stretched his fingers. He got up from his seat and looked at Jeina who was asleep in her sleep on the garden chair.
"Do I wake up, okay?" Rubby muttered softly.
However, Rubby felt unbearable because Jeina had been busy since becoming Rubby's personal girlfriend. If Rubby wakes him up now, Jeina must have refused to continue her break because she was embarrassed, and she would be busy serving Rubby like her usual days.
Amidst Rubby's confusion, a man with a sturdy body walks around the park. Rubby smiled faintly and an idea popped into his mind. He raised his hand and spoke a little louder. "Sir.. Ethan!"
The Dark Market
Unlike Rubby who was in the palace. Her husband, Zac, is now on the black market. Weird right? Supposedly, now he was in a jewelry store or boutique, because he said he would buy a gift for Rubby. However, why would Zac even be in such a shabby and dark market?
The Dark Market, a Market that could not be accessed by ordinary people. But Zac, he gets his access from an uncle he met as a teenager. The story is quite long, and you could say Zac has a good relationship with the Uncle.
Zac smiled faintly, "There's a lot of free trade here. As an Emperor, I may not realize it."
If you ask why Zac didn't stop them, the answer certainly can't. No matter how big Zac is, the black market is no ordinary market. There might even be a black magician hidden within it, and it was extremely dangerous since Zac came alone. Not because she has no power, but she is definitely not a witch.
"Sir, can you say what you need? Look, I have a nice item." said a woman in pretty revealing clothes at one of the shops.
"No, sorry." Zac shook his head and took his steps.
Where is that thing? Zac was silent for a moment, his eyes catching a sparkling object in the middle of the shop. "Rubby."
****
"Oh my God, Your Majesty!!! How could you have Sir Ethan carry me to my room?" ask Jeina shyly. Not just embarrassed, rather he shivered if he imagined it. Maybe he was slumbering and did not realize that his body lifted while asleep earlier.
"Your Majesty can wake me up." Jeina was singing her lips.
"I can't bear to see you exhausted every day. After all, I hired a reliable waitress. If you don't pay attention to your body condition, then how can you serve me well?" rubby combed her own hair in front of the mirror.
It's starting at night, and soon Zac might be coming home. Rubby did not want to invite the man to dinner together, but at least he could welcome the presence of Zac even though not much.
"Yourfy.." Rubby let out a rough breath. The regulations in the Palace made him dizzy for some things.
"Do I have to wait a long time for your Majesty to come?" rubby asked while looking at the conditions outside the palace gate through the window. Flickering stars and torches and lanterns attached to illuminate the Palace were clearly visible in Rubby's eyes.
KREKKKKP...
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! He has returned back to the Imperial palace!"
Rubby's eyes were wide open, the girl was silent for a moment and immediately got up from her seat.
"Do I need to go to him?" Rubby muttered softly.
