Elaine said nothing as she only nodded her head. It was no use to bicker with mama because it was improper to keep bickering with an adult. Also, it was because she had to abide by the rule set within the household; children of the Lockhart in Pencia must never go against their parents.

Rosella squeezed Elaine’s hands with a sad face. “Elaine, do you think mama is being reasonable for trying to find happiness for your sister? Are you unhappy with the man that mama chose for you?”

“I am happy, mama. The man you chose for me is the one whom I loved for a very long time. But,” Elaine hesitated to speak. “…must it be someone else for my sister? She had suffered enough since her childhood. She-”

Rosella let go of her hands. “No matter what happened, your sister will not get any blessing from us if she chose that man. Also, I doubt she could find a decent man out there. The outside world is full of thorns and poisons.”

“Mama…”

    “Don’t twist this situation into your favour! I wouldn’t punch you if you hadn’t stripped me of my clothes!” Jennet growled at him. “But, what is wrong about stripping my wife off her clothes? It’s a given for the husband to want to strip his wife,” Hue muttered.“No, it’s wrong! In our context is wrong!” Jennet shouted. Her eyes grew bigger as she eyed him when he was about to spill his tears. “Don’t fake your tears just because I punch you. I know you’re scheming to bed me. I am not going to fall for that same trick!”“Then, just let me die! My wife won’t even need me! There is no need for me to live now!” Hue cried as he sat down on the floor.Jennet stood before him, eyeing him sternly. “Stupid, if you die now, you will only rot in hell!” she roared to his face.Hue flinched on the floor when she snapped at him. He turned around facing his back on her and sulked. “Then, you shouldn’t get mad at me…” he grumbled.

    Jennet watched as he pranced around, doing some weird dances where he jumped then flapped his arms like a chicken, tiptoed while twirling, clapped here and there, and so on. For sure, the dance was hilarious to watch. It was something that she had never seen in her life.If he was doing some kind of ritual dance, she would not know.“Okay, that’s it for today. Let’s get to bed now because tomorrow, we’re going to get married!” Jennet clapped her hands as if she was telling her kid to sleep early to get ready for school.Hue joined her in bed after she put on some clothes after he failed to ‘dress’ her. As he lay on the bed, smiling from ears to ears, wondering about the upcoming tomorrow, he asked, “Honey, I’m wondering, is there any law that protects the right of a god in this world?”Jennet pulled the blanket up to her chest. “I don’t think there’s any. God are a mighty existence so; I don’t think humans can protect them because they a

    The woman continued, “Well, last night you roughened my body over and over again. I can’t do anything because you’re venting and I was taken by surprise by your mightiness. For the first time in my life, I have learnt about pain.” She smiled at him. Then, she took his hands and placed them on her back. She whispered in his ear, “My back hurt and you know that too, right?”Luca eyed her with anger hidden in his piercing gaze. “Are you trying to corner me into submitting to your schemes?” He thought she couldn't conceive from a one-night stand.Hold on, a one-night stand? How come he concluded they were on a one-night stand?!The jade-blue eyed woman chuckled again. “Schemes? How come you came up with such a thought? We have done it raw. Please try to refresh your memory again, my love,” she told him softly.She was very cool about everything, though.Luca forced himself to recall everything from last night but to no avail. The on

    Since Hue was running high on fever, Jennet decided to tend to him at home. So, they checked out of the hotel and headed straight to the villa. By the time they arrived, Hue collapsed in the living room. He moaned in pain and his breath became heavier. “Hue!” Jennet panicked. She sat on the floor and supported his head on her lap. Her face turned pale when his body emitted steam again. His temperature rose once again! Hue grimaced on her lap. Tears rolled down the corner of his tightly shut eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry," he whispered, as if grieving over something. Sweats drenched his forehead. Jennet felt her eyes watered when her heart was tinged by an unknown sadness. His words brought familiarity to her which made her feel sadder. The sadness she had in her heart, felt like a longing that she couldn't understand. She had no idea why such longing resurfaced or why she even had such longing in the first place.

    While he was busy daydreaming in bed, suddenly, he thought about the phone call from last night. He recalled that Jennet got very mad at him for telling the caller about his identity. But, a few hours after that, she suddenly proposed that they should get a marriage license. From that point, Hue noticed that Jennet was hiding something major. Hue clicked his tongue. "Tch, it doesn't feel quite right to get married after her relative called. Her intention to marry me might not be genuine," he mumbled while pouting in the bed. He was happy that their marriage would be recognised in both realms soon. However, he also felt sad deep down because it seemed like Jennet was using him as a stepping stone for a purpose. But, for what? Hue squeezed his brain to find plausible answers to the possibility but, all of it turned into negative outcomes. In the end, he gave up. "Ah, this is troublesome. I cannot think properly. I need to see her face to refresh my mind." He made up his mind. With

    Jennet held the highball glass securely and pondered alone. 'On second thought, I did the right thing though. I vowed to marry a man that is much better than the man that mama chose for me. The man that I marry is someone formidable. I wonder what mama would say about him when I bring him home soon."She glanced towards Hue, who stood at the door with knitted brows. Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on her face. 'I've found my weapon. So, I can go to war now...' She thought. She would prove to her family that she could find a decent man who made her happy and a man who would love her just like how she would love him. She would prove to her family especially her mama that she could be independent, could make a living without asking for gratification from a man and could have her property. She wanted mama to accept the truth that her daughter wasn't a worthless person. She doesn't need anyone to control every little thing about her life. She wa

    "I don't have any weird fetishes! I just don't like you to punch me because it's painful," Hue replied. Jennet approached him and tapped his shoulder. "Then, don't worry because I will not punch you for no reason.""T-then for what reason will you punch me-"Jennet silenced her husband with a kiss, a passionate one. She suckled his lips, teasing and arousing him.Hue didn't stop her, but he got indulged in it. He let her sit on his lap and allowed her to coil her legs around his waist. The room was filled with nothing but the wet smacking sound overlapped with the sound of heavy breathing. The couple engaged in a passionate kiss and none of them wanted to break it. Jennet grunted softly when Hue tore his lips away to kiss her neck. "Humph, don't kiss any other place yet. I still want to taste your lips," she muttered. Hue chuckled when she pouted at him. "I thought you'd stop me." He leaned forward and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll abide by your desires." He tilted his neck and ki

    Jennet gasped and moaned. "Stop, please!" She cried as she grabbed the sheet and, bit her lip to hold the bursting pleasure inside her body. "Why?" Hue asked and ravished her lips again. Jennet tore her face away and cried, "I'm tired. Let me rest!"Hue chuckled. "Not so fast, my love. I've not reached my limit yet, so no rest for now." He spread her legs apart again and then, thrust for the umpteenth time. Jennet grimaced and groaned when her head sank deeper into the pillow. Her eyes brimmed with tears. Her entire body ached and she was exhausted. They had been doing the deed for hours! "Don't worry, I'll share my energy force with you," Hue whispered in her ear, which crumpled her will. Shortly after that, he claimed her lips, ravishing the inside of her mouth with his mighty tongue. Jennet felt something warm entering her body through her throat. The warmth enveloped the rest of her tired body and from within, she felt energized. Hue smiled at her when he broke the kiss bet

    "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
