I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1697 Ezenia The Great!

?

Before stepping out with Henry Ezenia purposefully dropped her handkerchief by a waiter, before gracefully bending down to pick it up.

"How much time do we have?"

"30 minutes, Mistress." The waiter said in a low whisper. 

By now, their forces who were already within the palace, should be moving towards the targeted location.

"Good."

With their discussion concluded, Ezenia suddenly smiled, telling the waiter to be careful, since he almost 'bumped' into her just now.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye and no one thought anything suspicious of their actions.

And soon, Ezenia, who caught up with Henry, wiggled her way into a private audience with him just as they typically did whenever she came to the palace to see him. 

At first, Henry used to be defensive like a porcupine about to blow its spikes. But you have to know that it's been well over 3 years now and Ezenia was still kind to him, as though turning a new leaf in her life from her monstrous past. 

And although it doesn't erase all the pain she caused him, it did make him drop his guard a little. 

Tonight there was no rain, just dull clouds and chilly winds.

"Are you cold?" Henry asked, seeing her rub her shoulders softly.

Inwardly, he had no intention of taking off his Jacket for her.

What? Do you want to say it's the right thing to do? Please! If you knew it was going to be cold, you should've prepared one for yourself. 

Landon never loses when he says Henry and Astar were one of the densest people he knew.

A girl could be throwing them a cue, and they still won't be able to grasp it. 

(-_-)

Idiot. Ezenia inwardly cursed, once again reminding herself of her mission, lest she got carried away by her anger. 

Although her smile looked a little cracked, she still performed her best, looking at Henry shyly from time to time.

"Your majesty..." She called, reaching for one of the towering flowers on her side. "Every time I see your garden, it blooms even more vibrantly than before, despite the harsh season."

Henry nodded. "Yeah. The royal gardeners are truly something else."

That's it? That's all you have to say?

Honestly, whenever Ezenia spent time with Henry, she would often doubt her beauty.

If not for the thousands of boys and men who swooned over her from time to time, she would've thought she was ugly.

She might not like Henry, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like receiving attention from him. Those are 2 separate matters. 

Bah! 

What was she thinking?

Seeing as they were venturing deeper into Henry's private garden space, a smile slowly crept onto her face. 

From time to time, she looked around, with a sharp glint flashing through her eyes. 

Suddenly, she 'tripped,' causing Henry to support her.

"Are you okay?" 

"Thank you, your majesty... without you, I don't know what this little one would do." 

"Nonsense. Without me, of course, you will survive. After all, I didn't meet you on life support, so you must still be able to live pretty well without me."

"..."

This bastard deserves to be single. Cant you see her puckered lips, her glistening chanting eyes and her soft pearly face?

A normal person would blush and get tempted to land a soft kiss on her lips. 

Of course, she would allow him one kiss if it would facilitate their plans. 

So long as her baby, Ulrich never finds out, it should be all good. 

Estimating the time left, Ezenia knew her people should be ready. 

In the stunning garden maze, Ezenia slowly faced Henry with big googly eyes. 

 "Your majesty... Can it be possible for us to truly be alone? I... I have something I wish to tell you. It's been weighing greatly on my mind, and I feel I must tell you this before I regret it later."

Listening to her, many hidden guards felt she should confess her feelings for Henry. 

Over the years, Ezenia made no effort in hiding how she felt about his majesty.

She would blush at the mere mention of his name, sometimes also waving her hands on her eyes and shaking her head in she after getting asked about her feelings for him.

For noble ladies, they must wait for a man to be the one to first say how they feel about them. 

It was also a safety mechanism for them too.

Who is marrying who? A majority of the time, it's the men who marry. 

So if they don't come forth to make their intentions known, a woman will remain single unless she wants to marry beneath her class.

So if a woman stands before a man and gives a passionate confession, let's say the man agrees but later never comes to propose or make his intentions known to the family, do you know what sort of shame that woman will face?

Her reputation will be that of an abandoned woman. 

Thus, for the woman's sake, just zip your mouth and wait for the man to come to your family and make his intentions known.

After all, in today's society, men could lose to 50 people if they liked, and marry 20 should they please. 

.

Who goes to war? The men. 

Who gets rewarded the most for such feats? The men. 

A majority of wealth stays with the men, who then circulate it to their wives.

Even Baymard itself always strives for equality and has often said there can never be true equality in the world.

Think about it.I think you should take a look at

In Baymard, and in several UN nations, female soldiers have begun emerging.

Yes. Now, men know women are also capable.

But if you truly 2nat equality, then why should women and children be given priority in rescue instances? Say a ship is sinking.

Why must we rescue the women and children first?

Children they get.

But if it's true equality, then after the children are rescued, let both women and men fend for themselves.

Likewise, even in war zones, after an empire is captured by an enemy, the enemy will never kill the women, but waste no time killing the men.

Look! You can't eat your cake in everything and have.

For the men, their compensation for risking their lives steadily and always being the first to get targeted was more money and power.

You can't want the wealth but not the responsibilities that come with it. 

Even the very rich are assassinated every day. Meanwhile, their women stay alive, unless being targeted by other women. 

A majority of assassinations are targeted at men. 

Whether one refused to admit it or not, men could never be equal to women, and vice versa. 

What Baymard mostly pushed forward was the belief in EQUITY. 

Meaning, one will be paid for exactly what they have contributed.

So let's say a man works ten hours a day and a woman works 8. 

You will be paid for your 10 hours and the woman will be paid for her 8 hours. Let's say it's the woman who makes 12 hours.

Then she will be paid for 12.

Back in the days before Baymard, women could work for up to 14 hours and get paid chicken change and almost nothing just because they were women.

All Baymard was saying was that if you did the work, then you should get paid for that. Simple. 

EQUITY was the real deal since there could ever really and truly be equality in the world. 

From the moment you were born, not all 10 of your fingers were equal. So don't expect it to remain the same in real life. 

The one thing Landon was most pleased with was that people now, both women and women, never believed in the matter of true equality at all.

The difference between men and women was what made humanity so interesting.

Everyone's gender had a role to play in society.

The heavens made it so and that was what.

All they wanted was a way to make money fairly. And Baymard solved this issue relatively well. 

----

"Blah, blah blah, blah."

Ezenia was almost counting 100 sheep in her mind, trying to make this man of steel send his guards away.

She spoke and spoke and was almost out of saliva before Henry finally waved his hand, and she heard several rustling noises fleeing the scene.

Phew~

Finally, alone at last. 

Her throat was beginning to run dry. 

Of course, to ensure she was truly alone, she gave a light cough, and soon got a bird's reply, twisting away in the bushes.

Heh.

How can Pyno's guards compare to her men trained in Morgany? 

After they returned from their training, the first thing she noticed was their improved deadly aura. 

They were like unhinged beasts, ready to pounce on prey whenever she gives the signal.

Their techniques, skills, methods of torture and other aspects had greatly improved to a height she didn't even know was possible.

This alone showed just how powerful the true Morgany guards and men were if her Pyno were far below them. 

~Twit-Twit-Twit. 

Ezenia smiled knowing she and a few of her guards were all alone with Henry. 

Deeper and deeper into the maze they went, until Henry was hastily given a push by Ezenia. 

Henry's face turned cold, as he stared at the snobbish woman raising a dagger at him arrogantly. 

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?"

"Know?" Ezenia sneered. "Of course, I know! What? Did you think, I, the mighty Ezenia, your brother's one true love, would call you here for a confession?"

Seeing her crazed face, Henry was reminded of how lunatic-driven and mad she was when they were younger.

"Ezenia, I'll give you one chance to redeem yourself. Put down your weapon or this might be your last."

Pfft~

Ezenia felt she heard the biggest joke of her life.

What gave him the impetus to think he could pull a power card on her? 

"Come out!"

~Swish!

All her guards appeared, and Ezenia couldn't help smiling even more.

"I think you have something mistaken, fool... I am the one with the people. I am the one with the weapon. So what can you do to me?"
