The Legend Of Lyan 2

Meeting the Emperor

General Felline did not give an answer. It's just pensive. Yuna's words say that she is Lyan's future wife.

“General Felline?”

“Hah?” General Felline regained his senses when Lyan called out to him.

“Can you take me to meet the emperor?” ask Lyan again. “There's something I want to talk to him about.”

General Felline simply nodded with a listless face. Five commanders were saddened to learn that Lyan had a future wife. They're sorry they've been pumping General Felline. He must be heartbroken now.

“Are you sick, General?” lyan asked as he looked at General Felline's lethargic face.

General Felline shook his head quickly. “Ah, no.” He immediately changed the topic. “Come, I'll take you to meet the emperor.”

From the look on his face, Yuna could understand that General Felline was clearly heartbroken after hearing him claim to be Lyan's future wife. He felt guilty for lying, causing General Felline to think.

‘Ah, I'm so not good. But all this was also because of Lyan! Because of his stupidity, he has made a woman's heart fall apart.’ Yuna sighed. Although General Felline was his love rival, as a fellow woman, he did not want General Felline dissolved in his grief. ‘I have to do something.’

After following General Felline and arriving at the palace, General Felline brought Lyan and his comrades into a room, asking them to wait for a moment.

General Felline then went to see the emperor and informed the arrival of Lyan and his comrades. He also tells that Lyan has helped himself overcome the sea monsters that are difficult to handle.

Hearing the story shocked the emperor. He did not expect the young man who had rejected his offer to become a general to suddenly appear and again help them overcome difficulties. He used to remember the young man running away from him because he did not want to accept the position he had given. This time he was sure the young man still did not want it. There must be another reason that made Lyan come to want to meet him now.

The Emperor immediately asked General Felline to bring them to him.

General Felline took Lyan and his comrades inside. Along the steps walking on the red carpet, there were many soldiers standing lined up around their right left. After walking deeper, they finally met a white-bearded old man wearing a golden robe, who was sitting on the throne. Lyan and his comrades immediately saluted knowing that the figure was none other than the overlord emperor of this continent.

“Honor on, Emperor!”

The Emperor nodded his head while stroking his white beard. He watched Lyan from top to bottom for a moment. ‘She is young. Same age as my daughter. Looks like I'll have to set her up on my daughter.’ The emperor smiled gently.

But his mind changed after seeing two beautiful women with Lyan. He then shook his head while stroking his beard. ‘Weight. Really heavy. My daughter will definitely compete with those women. I'd better break my intention to match them. I'm not willing to see my daughter combined.’

After being sure not to betroth her daughter to Lyan. Then he started the conversation.

The Emperor thought of what gifts were worth giving to Lyan. Suddenly, his daughter's face came to mind again. He quickly shook his head, throwing away those thoughts. ‘Remember. Remember. You cannot make your own daughter a gift. Remember. Heavy competition. My daughter will suffer. Better I give him abundant gold.’

“No need, Emperor,” said Lyan.

The gift the emperor was referring to was definitely not far from a treasure of gold or anything like that. Lyan felt that after becoming Xora there was no need for such a worldly thing anymore because it meant nothing to her.

Even for the matter of eating alone, actually for those who have become ascetics already do not need such a thing. Because only by absorbing natural energy once, their stomachs will be filled for several weeks. Moreover, he who had become Xora, just by absorbing a little bit of natural energy, he would feel full for many years.

The last few weeks of eating was just to accompany his colleagues who have not become ascetics. Sometimes he was bored and just went along to eat to spend time.

The emperor was actually a little confused as to why the young man had refused before knowing what he was going to give. Don't you know, that young man, if the abundant amount of treasure he would give as a token of gratitude?

However the emperor did not dare to force the young man to accept his reward. He no longer wanted to see the young man run away from him like he had before. The emperor could only clack in admiration for having first met someone who helped him overcome a huge problem without asking for anything in return.

“Alright, I understand.” The emperor stroked his beard. “Then, I can only say a big thank you to you.”

“No need to hesitate, Emperor.”

The Emperor nodded slowly with a smile. He was more and more amazed at the attitude of the young man. Not long after that his daughter's face flashed through his mind, making the emperor take a deep breath. ‘Devil in my heart .. I told you I wouldn't give my daughter to this young man! Go then! Don't keep teasing me into selling my own beloved daughter!’

“Then, what did you mean by coming here, Lyan?” asked the emperor who had cast out the demons in his heart. “Surely you have an important purpose so want to meet me.”

“What we mean is to come here .. We want to help the emperor to overcome the sea monsters that disturb the peace of this continent,” said Lyan. “If you are pleased, we want the emperor to give permission to help every region attacked by those monsters.”

Hearing him made the emperor suddenly glare greatly, like wanting to swallow someone alive.

That reaction made Lyan and his comrades quite shocked. Lyan tried to recall whether any of his words sounded offensive so the emperor showed such a reaction.

General Felline even the soldiers who were there were no less surprised. There was nothing wrong with Lyan's words just now, even for them it was good news because receiving help from powerful people like Lyan and his comrades would make the problem of sea monsters attacking this continent insurmountable faster.

There was nothing wrong with Lyan's words. It was just that right now the emperor was fighting with the demon in his heart. Since Lyan had just said that it would help them overcome the sea monster that was interfering with the peace of the Bright Continent, again the demon in the emperor's heart appeared, again, back teasing him was even more severe by continuously showering the princess' face in his mind.

‘Fucking devil! I told you I wouldn't give my beloved daughter to this young man! Get rid of you, goddamn it! Scram!’ the emperor's inner self while bulging his teeth, made Lyan and everyone else who was there astonished.
