Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 604: Mistakes Were Made

Chapter 604: Mistakes Were Made

Lyon found himself in a tight corner. He had absolutely no idea what Kesya was talking about. He took a stroll yesterday night but didn’t meet her at all.

“I didn’t even meet you yesterday night!”

“You did!” said Kesya as she pointed him out. Her nose twitched as her breath sniffled. “Oh, my faint heart.”

Her ears lowered as she covered her mouth and turned around.

(Oi..)

Her eyes glimmered like glass that reflected light with tears threatening to spill. Her shoulders slouched as bitterness and blues surrounded her figure.

“Lyon! What did you do?!” asked Cecile.

“What?! I didn’t do a thing! I didn’t even meet her yesterday night!”

“You did!” said Kesya before she wailed. Her status as the master of Guild HQ was nowhere to be seen. Those people wouldn’t have thought that she could be this sentimental.

“She said you did!” asked Cecile.

“And you believe her?!” asked Lyon as he rose his shoulders.

“No, haha!” Cecile laughed.

(This woman!) thought Lyon as veins on his temple bulged.

“Hahaha!” Kesya laughed as she tapped the marble table repeatedly. Seeing the glare of her emperor and his annoyed face was quite a delight for her.

“Hah~” Kesya had her fill, “It’s not even half the fun without Empress Selena.”

Lyon retracted his glare before he raised his eyebrows. “Selena?”

Kesya nodded. “Yup!”

“Why her?” asked Lyon with his eyes blinking innocently.

“Well…” Kesya was in doubt all of the sudden.

“Why are you doubting to tell me?” asked Lyon. “She is my wife you know (Hot one too)!”

“She is the jealous type, didn’t I mention this before?” said Cecile.

“Maybe….” ( I was not paying attention). “Anyway, what will happen if Selena were here?”

“Kaboom!” said Kesya as she gestured it with her hands.

“Kaboom?” Lyon gulped before he slowly glanced at Graham whom the latter nodded. He averted back to Kesya. “What is kaboom?”

“This place and the firmament would be fissured, at least, and Yoji would take some of the damage too.”

“Ah, right… Little Yoji did indeed mention what the Tetragram Chariot was for,” nodded Lyon.

“She is amazing,” said Cecile.

Lyon noticed the subtle acknowledgment from the woman who was dubbed as the War Goddess. He could guess that there was some sort of rivalry between the two from the start. However, a subtle nod from her meant something much heavier,

“That amazing?” asked Lyon as he gulped.

“Yeah, and there was not a year went by without you triggering her,” Cecile chuckled.

“I guess,” Lyon smiled wryly before he caught his eyes on Graham. “Wait a minute, Graham, you would protect me right.”

“With all due respect….”

(No) thought Lyon as soon as he heard those words.

Graham looked at his hands before he looked at Lyon and slightly bowed his head, “Sorry, master.”

“Are you serious…” muttered Lyon as he was taken back. He was not talking with Jugen or Zet, the two self-proclaimed little brothers of him. He was talking with Graham, the same man that pulverized a True God by slamming its head to the earth, not to mention ripping the space apart with his fist.

“C’mon… Graham, it’s me, your master,” said Lyon. “You would protect me right.”

Graham shook his head, “It is futile, master, sorry, it would take all six of us together to buy you one second.”

“What?!” Lyon suddenly straightened his back. The woman that he met and claimed to be his wife. The first one that gave him his wedding ring. (Was she really that powerful?).

“Yeah, of course, because you guys won’t dare to interrupt her,” said Cecile. “Not to mention her notorious sword art.”

Lyon opened his eyes wide. He was so surprised he didn’t notice a glass of water was being handed out by Assid before the latter went back to the kitchen.

“Yoji… he… did he get to suffer because of my deed?” asked Lyon as he grabbed the glass of water. He put his mouth while keeping eye contact with Cecile.

“Pfft… now that you mentioned it, I just remembered one of the funny, well painful for him though,” said Cecile before she burst into laughter.

Lyon narrowed his eyes before Cecile continued.

“One time she was so furious at you she chased you down. Both of you were running with Tetragram Chariot as your vassal of escape. The horses were crying as the danger of a beast far more dangerous than anything chase the four of them down.”

(She is faster than the Tetragram Chariot?! Wait… doesn’t that beat the purpose of having them?!) thought Lyon as he attempted to drink the whole glass.

“I don’t know what you did but apparently, she was so furious with her face turned red. With her regalia in hand, she ran with her bare feet in the sky. Her eyes were glaring as a saw her from my room. There was nothing stopping that woman then, I could only pray for your safety from my heart as I drink my wine.”

“I remember you were saying ‘Faster Little Yoji! Faster! We’re gonna die if you slow down’ the whole kingdom probably could hear you then, hahaha. However, before those young horses managed to break the space, she was already by Yoji’s side. The blade curved before Yoji was blown away with a cry. You yelled ‘Yojiii!!’ but the young Yoji already passed out from the pain of having his nipples cut off.”

*Bruu!

Lyon immediately spat out his drink before he rubbed his own chest. 

“Then..”

“Alright stop, please, stop,” said Lyon as his nose wrinkled as if he felt the pain Yoji had felt then. He rubbed his chest as he wondered what he had done to warrant her fury.

“So you’re here Lyon,” said Raul who was at the entrance with his obnoxious tone.

“Shut the fuck up!” shouted Lyon as he looked at the table with his cold sweat drenching his forehead.

“W-What?!” Raul was taken back.

Lyon took a cold breath before he nervously emptied out his glass.
