Chapter 13 ... 61 55 vouchers Azmaveth walked through the garden of his palace, and the floor of the places he stepped turned ice cold , as he thought about the words of the young dragon . Could it be that the young dragon was right ? Was the reason he was unable to kill the girl that he was interested in the girl ? ' That was not possible ... ' he muttered to himself , a little worried , because he wanted to know that this was the very first time he had ever been interested in anything , not to mention a human girl . " My lord ... " Kalida walked up to him , with a bow , her face remained lowered as she spoke to the emperor ; this was how the women of the court spoke to him . He didn't even have to tell them ; they feared him so much that they would rather not look into his eyes . " What is it , Kalida ? " He murmured , a little interested , because he knew that the only reason Kalida was meeting him was because of the feisty princess . The only thing that brought color to his monochrome world . " I tried everything to make her stop throwing a tantrum , but she just wouldn't stop . " She chirped quickly , her voice shaking as she spoke . " She is Your Majesty's guest , and we can't touch her without your permission . " He nodded . Kalida was most thoughtful , since he had given strict orders that no member of the green shade tribe should be harmed or hurt for any reason . " She requests my presence ? " He muttered again , and Kalida dropped to her knees , shaking fearfully . That was the reason for the meeting in the courtroom , it was disrespectful for a woman of no status or social class to request the presence of their emperor . " How can I dare bring such news to you ? " " But she requests my presence ? " He repeated this time more firmly , showing Kalida he wanted a simple and direct answer . Kalida's heart pounded in her chest . She was worried , the emperor was an unpredictable man , who knows if this was another test and he would kill her . She could feel the heat of her surroundings rise abnormally , she could tell the emperor was already getting angry . " Y - Yes , my lord ." She choked out , and instantly , her eyes shut tightly , waiting for the unreal moment when her head rolled off her body , she could even taste the blood in her mouth already , but her eyes suddenly flung open when the pressure resting upon her was lifted . And then she realized that the emperor was long gone , but the fear still lingered in the back of her mind , and it terrified her . She tried to get up , but her legs gave out immediately ; the fear had rendered them functionless . Azmaveth moved with grace towards the Phoenix nest of the Pyreborn palace . This was the first time he strolled towards this wing of his palace , since he had no woman in his harem , he had no reason to come here . 11:04 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 13 But now , he had a reason . 61 55 vouchers The maids cleared the way as they saw him , bowing their heads as he walked past them , some of them falling on their knees from the pressure he exerted . Getting into the room , the human girl was sitting amid the chaos she had caused , her dark hair unruly and wildly let down , and her green eyes shimmered like the lake of fury . " I was starting to think you coward wouldn't show up . " She muttered as she got up from the bed . Azmaveth was silent as he stared around the room in awe . The curtains had been torn into halves , the furniture in the room had been broken , and there was nothing in the room that wasn't damaged in any way , nothing except her . For some reason , Azmaveth wasn't angry or worried ; he simply stared at her , his red eyes narrowing , trying to analyze this human girl . She wasn't looking around , she wasn't looking away from him , she was looking directly at him . What was so special about her ? Why didn't he have the same effect as he did on the other women in the palace ? She was even more confident than the men in his council . " Why have you done this ? " He asked curiously . " Everything in this room is something worth thousands of gold , and worth more value than even kingdoms , and only the women of the purest noble bloodline are allowed to stay in this nest . So , why have you ruined it ? " " I was told I am the first woman in your harem ," She answered confidently . Natalia was a little worried , even though she was feigning confidence , the moment the emperor stepped into the room all her confidence drained out . His form was terrifying , and his frame was menacing ; he stood way taller than any man she had seen , since he wasn't even human to begin with , what if he was here to hurt her . From the small duel they had , she already experienced how strong he was , and he was even giving her the upper hand . " I told you that I wasn't going to be your war prisoner , " She continued in a smaller voice , she doesn't want risk getting killed . " That was settled , that is why you are in the harem . " He answered with a small frown forming on his face . " You are going to be affiliated with the emperor whether you like it or not ." " You are saying I have no say in this ? " She whispered . " You lose the duel , princess ." He reminded her . " And we agreed to do whatever I want ? Being like this isn't very honorable of you , princess ." " The duel was unfair to begin with . How could I have ever won ? " she retorted , fire burning in her eyes , and the emperor scoffed . " You had all the advantages , did you ever think I could have won ? " " Then that's your fault , if you were going to challenge me to a duel , you should have picked something you are sure you would win . " He advised mockingly . " That's how to fight , it doesn't have to be a sword fight . But regardless of what happened , I won the duel , and I deserve my reward . " " I would rather be a slave along with the rest of my people . " She remained adamant . " I can't and won't be your plaything . " 11:04 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 13 ... 61 55 vouchers " I want you to be my queen instead ." He confessed . " You are in this harem as the first woman the emperor has ever been interested in . " He took a step forward , and Natalia took at least three steps backwards ; she wanted as much as many spaces between them . " Not every woman gets as lucky as you , princess ."
