“How do you know I’m not just saying it?” asked Eric, who was starting to get annoyed.“Because you are Prince Eric. You wouldn’t just say it without any meaning.” Ruby’s arm wrapped around his neck.Eric frowned at her statement. Irritated by her words, he rolled off the bed and started to put on his clothes.Ruby was thrilled to see his expression. She was happy she was able to use his own words back at him. She watched him as he buckled his pants. Ruby clenched the bedsheet as she recalled those words from her distant memories. Remembering when they were children, Eric would bully her with the other kids. When he was done punking her around, he would push her and said, “I’m Prince Eric, I wouldn’t say anything without any meaning.” These words would always make him win the conversation. Even when her words is the truth, he wound stand to be corrected, because he is a prince. "Every words I say have a purpose behind it. AND I'm always correct." “I will be back later tonight. If yo

At the center of the room was the Empress Dowager, she was waiting for them. Once they got closer, Ruby couldn’t help but stare at her.“Dear child, you been staring at me the whole time since you enter this room, may I ask who do I remind you of again?”Ruby said, “You remind me of my Grandmother Willow.”“Hmm. May I ask who is this Grandmother Willow of yours.”Ruby remember her grandmother telling her that she and her mom came back to the Southern Border in disguise. So, she can’t expose her true identity. Ruby bowing down her head in respect said, “She’s my maternal grandmother. When I was little, she took care of me until she passed away.”“Oh. How unfortunate.”“Yes.”“However, I do recall you living alone in the Forbidden Mountain. And you have always been alone." The Empress Dowager tapped her fingertips on her chair. "So, how did you come across such a grandmother?”“I was barely one year old when I was hit with fevers. I had it constantly and back to back to where I nearly d

Eric was shocked by her answer. Ruby never intended to marry him. She was just playing around with him. All her sweet words, her sweet embrace, it was all a lie. Pain struck his heart. His heart was slowly being ripped apart. “Why is that?”“There is no one I like nor love, so I wish to remain single.”Another wave of pain hit Eric’s chest. He wasn’t the one she liked nor loved. He was just her "sex" partner.“Then I won’t force you.”“Thank you, Empress Dowager. Eric was startled by her answer. He laughed inwardly. What a fool he was. He was played by her. Her excuse of coming to see the Empress Dowager was her way of escaping the room, and for him to agree not to keep her prisoner in the palace was her way of escaping him. He trusted her too easily and went straight into her trap. What a cunning woman. Pain struck his heart as she played him. She played with his heart. Trample on his affections as she won his trust. He really was a fool. He let out a silent laughter. Ruby, heari

Panting they both laid like that for a while. Their energy was spent after Eric’s third ejaculation. They were both exhausted. Eric turned over and held Ruby in his arms.“Sleep,” he commanded.Without hesitation Ruby closed her eyes in his embrace.Eric held her touching her beautiful face. Wanting to keep her like this forever. Even if it’s just sex, he didn't want to lose this precious moment. He will win her heart one way or another. He kissed her on the lips and fell asleep next to her. The Empress Dowager summoned Ruby to the palace. Ruby also agreed to meet with her. It’s been two days since she last saw her, and she had questions she wanted to ask the Empress Dowager too. This is a good chance to talk about her Grandmother Willow. As she entered the palace, she saw Eric with Samantha. Samantha was holding onto his arm and wiping his brows although there was no sweat visible. Now that Ruby sees Eric with Samantha, she no longer feels the painful throb in her heart. It doesn

Feeling the death blow, he soon realized who the light bolt was targeted at. He can sense the person in trouble. Eric sped off to the Empress Dowager. Leaving behind a wailing Samantha behind.The assassins were shotting at all directions to capture Ruby, but Ruby was able to shield against every of their spells. “Leader the light bolt didn’t land the kill and have signal the guards, what do you want to do now?” asked the leader’s subordinate.“Kill the Empress Dowager at all costs!" shouted the leader. “Alright," said every of the assassins. The leader’s subordinate tried to blast the Empress Dowager in the back, but Ruby blocked it.“Huh? Who are you?” asked one of the assassin.“My name is Ruby Scarlet. You should do well to remember my name,” answer Ruby nonchalantly.“You’re pretty good. How about joining us?”“I don’t deal with your kind.”“Humph. Take her,” said the leader of the assassin.“Fairy Princess, some assassins are spiritual users of energy level six,” said Tabitha.
