"She is asking how many you can offer after you judge the quality of the clothes," her husband answered."J-judge? You mean I have to evaluate these before I get them?" she was surprised.Hue nodded his head, "Yes, you have to evaluate it and then offer the seller how much good deeds it is worth. Here, it's the buyer that put the price on the goods sold by the seller.""Oh," Jennet exclaimed as she nodded her head. The explanation was very different from what she was used to.Then, she asked for her husband's opinion, "But, what if I say, I want these for one good deed? What would happen?"Hue inhaled deeply as he explained calmly, "Then, these clothes are of low quality and thus considered bad products. The seller won't display it anymore and they will only display new ones that are of good quality. But, there's another thing you must know, buyers must evaluate the goods honestly because if they don't, they will gain bad deeds for the attempt to trouble others.""Oh wow..." Jennet wa
Jennet grabbed his arms that secured her waist firmly. Her gripping strength was too strong and Hue found himself clenching his jaws."Honey," she looked at his face, gasping, "d-do you have any idea h-how it feels to be in l-labour pains?"Hue thought twice and then he shook his head and answered with a straight face, "I've never given birth in my life so, I cannot tell."Jennet gasped and groaned when she felt pain in her stomach. Her grip on his arm tightened. She gasped heavily. "D-do you think the babies are c-coming early in the m-morning?""I've no idea..." Hue shrugged. But, then his eyes widened when he recalled something important."Are you in labour pain?!" his loud voice nearly burst Jennet's eardrums. He just remembered the day of her due...Jennet scrunched again, "I, I don't know...but, I think my water just broke... I don't think we can make it to the hospital..." She breathed in deeply. Then, she groaned as she held her waist.Hue turned antsy before her. His brain su
Meanwhile, outside the hospital and on one of the floating islands in the sky, a fierce fight was going on. Fire spheres flew here and there. At the same time, water spheres shot back at the fires spheres, preventing them from hitting the nearby islands. Screams and cries shook the area when the island's spirits screeched in fear, thus forcing their dwellers to flee into safety. Animals and people alike were seen fleeing further into the clouds, leaving their islands."Hue, stop this madness now!" Kith shouted, and backflipped in the air when he avoided a fire sphere that was flying in his direction. While he backflipped, he shot water spheres at the fire sphere that flew past him; extinguishing the flames.Hue, who was no longer in his sane mind, ignored his plea. He had been consumed by the intent to kill and he kept firing fire spheres at a crazy speed towards the silver head.Kith was unlucky as he was hit by one and his body fell to the ground. There, he groaned in pain as numbn
Human Realm...Hecara was lounging on Luca's lap when blood dripped from the crack of her lips. She started to cough and stained his grey suit with blood. She jumped away from him and coughed hard on the floor."What is happening to you?" Luca was alarmed when he covered her bloody mouth with a handkerchief. The soft blue handkerchief was easily stained by the colour red.Hecara shook her head, refusing to answer. She snatched the handkerchief, pressed her mouth with it and then rushed out. At the door, she bumped into Felix who was astonished to see her running away."Where are you go-"Before he managed to end the sentence, Luca rushed out of the office and ran after Hecara who had already disappeared into the lift.Felix was perplexed and he ran after the two of them. He got into the lift and reached the first floor where he saw Luca looking around frantically."What is happening?" he asked.Luca shook his head in dismay, "I don't know but I can't find her anywhere. Earlier she cou
Meanwhile, the male nurse handed a printer number to her and said, "Here is your number and you can wait for your turn to get a consultation from our doctors."Hecara took the paper from him but, she grabbed his hand as well. "Oh, you have a very beautiful hand," she said and smiled sweetly at the nurse who couldn't stop blushing."T-thank you," he thanked her still although, he was flustered. He reeled his hand but Hecara tightened her grip and caressed his hand as she smiled seductively at him.Luca slapped their hands-free and snatched the paper from Hecara. After that, he dragged her away from the counter."Can you behave while we're here? This is no place for flirting," he hissed at her. His heart swelled when she flirted with the male nurse."Are you jealous?" Hecara asked instead of apologizing.Luca glared at her, "Quit with that nonsense!""You are jealous..." she stated and snuggled to his arm, smiling widely.Luca said nothing but focused on the paper in his hand. When thei
"Ack!' Helena gagged and coughed blood when a dagger pierced her from the back. She whimpered when she let go of Claire's body. On the floor, she twisted and turned, screaming in pain, as she tried to rid the dagger that pierced her in the heart."Alana, I finally found you!" A man's voice, laughing happily, filled the area.Claire, who was lying helplessly on the floor, turned her face to the side. Her sights were failing and she couldn't see her lifesaver. Suddenly, a pair of tiny hands covered her eyes and she fell unconscious.Helena screamed like a feral cat as she got to the corner, fleeing her captor. There, on the wall, she hissed back. Her snake body returned to its human form."Please, spare me!" she cried, "I'm innocent!"Delton paced forward, unwavered by her tears, "I wish I could, Alana. But, you've crossed the line this time and I can't spare you any longer.""Please!'"You've killed a lot of innocent lives in the past ten years, correction, from the day you took over
When night fell, the entire realm was veiled with a dark blue sky. Stars scattered throughout the night, decorating it beautifully. Chimes and jingles were the music orchestrated throughout the realm. Serenity and peace enveloped the space.Amidst it all, thousands of dotted lights illuminated the night and those dots were the floating islands that hung high above the ground. Aurora was seen travelling from one place to another, bringing happy melodies in the form of children's laughter.Meanwhile, on one of the floating islands where the Hedo couple resided, a happy event was taking place. The entire familiars as well as creatures that dwelled on the island came out of their hiding places to enjoy the beauty of the night with dances and songs. Their happy and merry laughter could be heard everywhere.Jennet was lounging with her husband on the balcony and they could hear all the happy happening. By their side, sleeping inside the cradles, were their babies."Everyone over that side i
"Sure," Hue replied, "we will be there as long as the Emperor permits it."Kith left the villa and Little Vella stayed back for a while as she had something to give to Jennet."This is for you," she said and handed a little box to her, "I have never given humans any gift but, for you it is special."Jennet took the box, "Thank you." She opened the lid and found a golden bracelet resting on a velvet cushion. The bracelet was designed intricately and with fine craftsmanship. "This is so beautiful..." she gasped, "thank you." She smiled at the beacon.Little Vella said nothing and just left, which put Jennet in a bind."Do you think she regrets gifting me something as expensive as this?" she questioned her husband.Hue laughed, "No. Every beacon is like that. They lack words, just like those grim reapers. But, believe me, honey, she is not regretting it."Jennet nodded, "Okay if that's the case then, I'll keep this gift in a safe place." She closed the box and stored it in a safe place.
"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
