"No, you cannot meet her, my lady!" Susan cried when fear impaled her. "Did the Emperor allow you to meet her?"Hecara shook her head. "No, he didn't. I came on my own accord. I escaped from home." She spilt the news without an ounce of care."Y-you escaped?!" Susan was shaken by the unexpected truth. Escaping the palace was a major issue that concerned the safety of all. Hecara's disappearance might have caused an uproar in the Fantasy Realm and the Emperor, for sure, would not be pleased about it.Hecara nodded her head, confirming the truth that she had just spoken of. "Yup, I did. I escaped from the palace." She smiled proudly. Then, she added as she recalled something. "Oh, I did tell someone about where I am going, though. Aha, the Talking Stones!" She beamed after that."What?" Susan jumped on her seat as she got nothing but only worry on her face.The Talking Stones were stones that could speak and they knew a lot of information about what happened around them. However, the
Luckily, Luca arrived a few minutes later and the heavy feeling that oozed out of Jennet suddenly dissipated. The Banner couple exhaled in relief. They left the room together with the excuse to find the doctor and also to get some drinks from the nearest convenience store. Luca closed the door and transfixed her sight on Jennet. Then, he gazed towards the woman on the bed. It was hard to predict what he had in his mind.Shortly after that, he returned his sight towards Jennet. "I'm sorry for troubling you," he said. Worry embodied his face as lots of things rushed into his mind.Jennet eyed him and she smiled. "You have nothing to feel sorry for because I happened to be on the scene and I helped Jerome and Susan to bring her to the hospital."Jennet did not care about the relationship that Luca might share with the blonde woman because all that she cared about was if the woman might have a personal connection with her husband. Jennet doubted that Hecara was a human after finding o
When the boy wasn't paying attention to his surrounding, Hue came running at him and hit his face with the pillow. The boy was sent flying to the sofa behind them."You lose and I win!" Hue rejoiced as he laughed maniacally at the boy. He pranced around the boy, doing a chicken dance.Little Veen paid no attention to him as he submerged his face in the pillow when Jennet approached Hue, who was busy dancing to annoy him.Hue was oblivious to the foreboding fate that would fall upon him.Jennet reached out and pinched Hue's ear and gave it a hard twist. "It is your loss, honey!" she said loudly. Then, she pulled him away from Little Veen. "Aw, aw, aww!" Hue cried but he beamed when he saw his wife's grumpy face. "Honey, you're home. I didn't hear the car coming at all...ha-ha," he laughed sheepishly. Jennet smirked as she replied sarcastically, "Of course, you didn't hear the car because I flew home.""Ah, you
Suddenly, Hue scooped her body up in his arms and took her straight to bed. As he laid her down carefully, he kissed her lips intensely. When they parted lips, Jennet broke the heated moment when she said, "I think it is better if we lessen seducing each other like this..."She said it because Hue had started to knead her breasts, a cue to arouse the both of them into continuing the act until the end. It wasn't the right time for them to be intimate with each other as they had promised to stay celibate until the next year when she gave birth. Hue looked at her face. "Hmm, you're right. I am about to go crazy only by pinning you down like this." Then, he kissed her eyelids. He groaned softly when her hands roamed his abs. It was an electricity feeling!Jennet smiled as she made a suggestion. "Then, let's have a lot of fun in bed after I give birth." She wanted to spoil him and reward herself to her heart's content as well.
Grandpa Ingell sighed softly. "Alright, and stop talking about dying." He disliked it when any of his children or grandchildren talked about dying as they still have a long way ahead of their life to know what real death means. Then, he said, "No one is going to divorce anyone here. If there are any, aside from me, who force you to get a divorce, I'll personally deal with them. So, for now, you can rest assured." His voice went low as his heart softened whenever he converses with his beloved granddaughter. At the same time, the elderly man was surprised that his granddaughter wasn't as rebellious as the rumours said. She was very polite but stern as how she was when she was young. On the other hand, Jennet felt relieved when she knew that Grandpa Ingell had no mean to let Hue leave as he pleases. As she was about to speak, Grandpa Ingell butt in. "Since you disregard my advice, then, I want to know if the man you choose has the skills to survive. This will also mean, he is coming
Rebecca, Lloyd's older sister, smiled toward Grandpa Ingell as she speak. "We didn't know you hired a new chef after Chef Rovo returned to his home country."Chef Rovo was a refugee that Grandpa Ingell accepted into the family. Grandpa helped him to achieve his dream to be a chef. Then, grandpa helped him to go back to his home country as a first-class chef that could help him to make a living and have a secured income. Chef Rovo was now a well-known figure in the culinary world and he was admired by many all around the world because of his vast knowledge of the world's cuisines. Grandpa Ingell replied. "You can ask her about the chef." He directed his eyes towards Jennet. Rebecca turned her gaze in the same direction.Jennet lifted her face when she sensed everyone eyed her. She saw expectation in everyone's gaze."Are you talking about my husband?" She made a guess. She was well-versed in Hue's amazing cooking and the meals they had earlier must have been prepared by him although a
"Ah, don't forget that you're not allowed to cheat using your power. Your power must be kept as a top secret between us including Little Veen.""I know..." Hue whispered and he chuckled at her frankness.Meanwhile, outside the stable, Grandpa Ingell halted in his track when he heard hushed voices coming from the stable. He turned around, with a roll of a blanket in his hands, and walked back into the house. It seemed that Hue did not need the blanket anymore...As he closed the door behind him, he saw Lloyd and Rebecca standing near the window. They eyed him, hoping to hear him say something. But, he didn't.It was Rebecca who speak as she couldn't hold herself anymore. "Father, don't be too harsh on that child. He's innocent.""Yes, father. My daughter loves him very much and I have no issues with that but I am genuinely happy for them." Lloyd said, supporting his sister's plea. Grandpa Ingell scoffed as he replied, "
"How am I going to get milk from such animals?" Hue asked the men. He didn't know if he would still be living if he approached the tough-looking cows.Tyrece smiled as he answered with a beaming face. "Well, that's easy. Just challenge each of them. If any of them accepted your challenge, then, you must fight it until it lets you milk it. Usually, we milk those inside the barn." He pointed at the barn that was located far behind the tough-looking cows.'Challenge the cows? Isn't that the same as courting death?' Hue thought with his eyes looking so dead when he was unable to utter a single word to the insane answer that he heard from the young man.Hue glanced back at the cows and thought that those animals didn't look much like the cows that he saw on TV. The cows before him looked as if they were used to some drills.Do the cows learnt about survival skills and self-defense as well?Evan interjected as he added an explanation for his co
"I am Jennet Lockhart!" claimed the silver-haired woman. Delton furrowed his brows. He had no idea a foreign woman had the gall to make such a claim. He had just returned from the palace and heard of something bizarre from the emperor who was reluctant to divulge the truth. His mood deteriorated after the meeting."Can you prove your claim?" he asked coldly."My ring!" she said loudly. "Hue gave me a ring as proof!"Delton glanced at her finger. There was no ring."I'm sorry, but I don't think you can play around with such a claim," he said. "Lying will add more bad deeds into your account.""I'm not lying," she slapped the bed. "I am Jennet Lockhart. Get my husband here to verify this claim!"Delton exhaled. "I'm sorry but it's improper to call upon him to verify your claim. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"How could she claim she was Jennet Lockhart when her appearance differed greatly from hers? This woman must be desperate to get away from her punishment.The woman we
'Apologies for not helping much...' added the spirit.Delton sighed. "Never mind."He turned around and gestured at the reapers to leave the place....After visiting the nursery, Jennet asked to go out for a date.Hue smiled. "I love that idea. Where do you want to go? The gardens?"He was about to get bored and she proposed such an amazing idea to kill time. He was grateful that they clicked.Jennet smiled. "Is that a great place for a meaningful date? We have not gone on a proper date before. I want it to be a proper full-day date!"Hue responded after pondering, "I guess going to the garden is great. Unless you have a place in mind.""I do have one in mind," she said. She gave him a side glance and then smiled widely, "Can we go to the market again? Just the two of us."Hue's face dropped. "The market? Again?" Disappointment was clear in his voice.Jennet leaned closer. "Please, honey. This one time, please..."Hue scratched the back of his ear, contemplating. "Uh, can we go to a
Many hours ago...After spending some time gazing at Hue's sleeping face, Jennet went to the kitchen for a drink. As she quenched her thirst, a gust of wind blew hard, knocking on the back door to the yard.She glanced as she placed the glass on the counter."That's a strong wind..." she murmured and approached to close the ajar door.'West gate...'She froze. She furtively eyed the vicinity. Her heart skipped a beat and goosebumps crawled her skin.Although terrified, she stepped out slightly and looked around; just to ease her feeling.The backyard was mantled in darkness with the twin moon hiding behind thick black clouds.Thud, thud, thud, thud...Jennet flinched and looked up. The sound of footsteps came from upstairs and, strangely, she felt it wasn't her family members.She hurried inside, locked the door, and rushed upstairs. But, the hallway was empty. However, the door to their bedroom was slightly ajar with the lights dimly lit.Jennet furrowed. 'I remember switching on all
Hue and Jennet were downstairs when they heard loud bangs coming from upstairs.“What is that?” Jennet glanced in alarmed, half-jumping from her seat. Hue rose from his chair and assured her to sit comfortably. “I’ll go and check,” he said.“Be careful, honey.” Jennet sat down, hoping nothing bad would happen.Hue went upstairs and realised the loud bangs had come from their bedroom. He grabbed a hanger from the laundry basket near the stairs. In his grasp, the hanger morphed into a sabre.“Gomi?” he called.‘Yes, master?’ replied a voice in his head.‘Do you sense something off?’‘Apart from the spirit is ill, nothing else.’Then, Gomi’s presence vanished from his mind. Hue didn’t think much of it because he was sure Gomi and the rest of their familiars were unhappy after the twins placed them under restrained orders. In Fantasy Realm, restraining orders were considered a major distrust of the master towards the familiars. But, if the familiars were innocent, they could refuse to s
Hue woke up when something buttery and toasty hit his nose. He unfurled his eyes and saw the Smell Folk dancing in mid-air. Their dance was very graceful and beautiful, unlike usual. It seemed as if they were celebrating something that was long forgotten.He sat on the sofa and tied his long hair into a low ponytail. Yawning, he placed the bolster on the sofa bed and approached the kitchen.Standing at the entrance, he eyed his wife, whose back faced him. She was donned in the pink apron he uses when working in the kitchen. She was placing sunny-side-up eggs on a plate."Honey, I thought I would be making breakfast today," he said.Jennet turned around and smiled brightly. "I was up too early today. So, I thought of making breakfast for us since you always made it.""Why didn't you just wake me up?" he asked."You were sound asleep, and I don't want to rouse you from your peaceful sleep."Hue scratched his head and covered his mouth to yawn. "Is this your roundabout way of asking forgi
The turtle inhaled deeply. He broke into a smile. "Yes, of course, because some of the stuff I sell needs the good deed.""Oh..." Jennet nodded her head. She was confused but she had nothing to ask because she had no idea what to ask. The more she delves into the sensitive case, the more she gets confused about everything around them.After the conversation, Jennet and the twins took their time to see all of the stuff on display. The vast majority of the items were human's everyday stuff and were broken. For example, the quills without nibs, shoes without soles, cups without handles, bows without strings and the list just went on.Jennet came across a hilt, the only one among thousands of items on display. She felt a strange sense of Deja Vu as if she had seen it before."That one is notorious and dangerously powerful, but had a sad story..." The turtle gave an intro.Jennet glanced and asked, "What happened to it?" She was interested.The turtle inhaled deeply. "He was once a powerf
Jennet rolled her eyes at them. "Arro, that is not nice. Please don't blatantly harm others.""But, he disrespected you. I can't let that slide."Jennet knocked his head gently and said, "Young man, you can't do that. It was my fault he got mad. I nearly stepped on him due to my carelessness. It's understandable why he talked harshly with me.""But-""That is enough. Let us continue shopping." She stopped him before he could speak his mind. If she said nothing, he would take revenge on her behalf.Arro hesitantly responded, "...Alright."Then, the twins walked ahead of her as she followed them from behind. She heard them talking, enthusiastically, about the festival that was going at full throttle.Jennet smiled and enjoyed herself looking around the place. Suddenly, someone brushed past her and something pricked her arm."Oww!" She gasped in pain. She looked down and noticed blood bleeding through the fabric on her left arm. Grimacing, she pressed her palm onto the cut to stop the b
"Can we go to the market again?" Hue paused, reeled his hand and turned on his heels. His brows knitted at what he heard from his wife. They were in the room, making the bed. "Why? Have you forgotten that you fell ill after our first visit?" He tried to pound some sense into her head. He hoped she would cancel her plans. Jennet clasped her hands to her chest and begged, "Honey, I just want to go shopping!" Hue raised an eyebrow. "Shopping?" It was a wonder how loosely humans think about their safety. Humans love to break the rules and never learn their lesson until it is too late. Jennet nodded. "I want to bring some gifts for my family." Hue exhaled and then sighed. "Honey, I don't think that is a great idea." "Why?" "Well, in my opinion, it's best to buy the gifts in the human realm. Get something that is more of a human thing because everything here is not normal to humans." "Then, how are we going to explain about our kids to my family?" She dropped the bomb a
Hue smiled as he crawled out of bed and stood before her. He took off the hair band that tied his long mane and it flowed free, dispensing a pleasant scent."Keep your eyes on me..." he said with a smirk."I am keeping my eyes on you," answered Jennet brazenly.Hue, locking his gaze on his wife, popped open the buttons on his shirt from top to bottom. His movement was neither slow nor fast. Then, his flawless skin came into sight. His sexy abs and sturdy pecs glistened under the light from every corner.Meanwhile, Jennet said nothing, but she gulped silently. His abs that she had not touched for weeks were within her reach. She was itching to run her fingers all over the perfect specimen! Hue tossed his shirt away but halted from taking off his trousers as he gave her an alluring gaze."You like to see me getting naked, right?""What do you mean?"Hue tilted his head to the side. "Well, I see you're drooling an
