Chapter 174: Look!

Name:Emperor's Reckoning Author:
The sound of the dust trailing the speed of Fenrir was heard loud and clear as the boisterous wind left the nearby trees shaken. Though small, the duo was setting records as they pierced through the distance.

(Oh no! He is catching up!) thought Clemora as she could only glare at her older sister.

*swoosh

Her vision suddenly slowed as Lyon and Fenrir went between the sisters like a wind. She saw Lyon's smirk as he shouted, "I'll be waiting for my reward ladies! HAHAHA!" before he left them with dust.

(Aw yeah! Today is gonna be a great day!) thought Lyon as he shouted once more, "Let this be an example Jugen! It is only impossible when you think it's impossible! HAHAHA!"

*thud

One of Fenrir's paw hit paving on a roadway as he tripped and lost his balance. "Eh?" was the only thing he could mutter as he suddenly in mid-air before kissing the ground.

(Chance!) thought both sisters as they rally up their horses.

"It's not over yet! Only a little more!" said Lyon as he got up and looked over at the fainted Fenrir. He immediately reached up to him only to see Fenrir's eyes already spinning.

"Hey, wake up!" said Lyon as he shook Fenrir's figure back and forth. The gate was only ten meters away from him, no, the glorious day was only ten meters away!

*swoosh

The two galloping horses passed by him as he saw with a glance of Clemora's smirk. Lyon could only close his eyes as he let the two of them pass by the gate. With a sigh, he put the fainted Fenrir on top of his head.

Jugen slowly approached this big brother of his with his horse. Before a word could escape his mouth, Lyon said, "Shut up."

They finally got through the gate albeit Lyon's mood was clearly down.

------------------------

Inside the castle, the queen with the iconic silver hair and red eyes sat in the dining hall along with her personal maid, Fei, who was standing beside her.

The queen had her hand propped up her head as she lazily glanced at the table full of foods. Her other hand which rested on the said table occasionally tapped her finger against it in a periodic manner.

"He is really taking too long!" said Sylvianna with a sulk.

Fei lightly cough, "Miss, remember your manner."

"Ah, would you let it slide this one time, we are alone anyway."

"Still, you are a queen."

Sylvianna could only pout and stuck her tongue.

*creak

The door opened as Lyon revealed himself toward the two women.

"I see that you have changed your outfit now?" said Sylvianna with a slight snort.

"Welcome back, Lyon," greeted Fei with a slight bow.

"Ah, it's good to be back Fei!" said Lyon with a smile.

Her short purple hair and maid attire really gave out the mansion feeling inside the room. However, there was a fuming queen beside her.

(How dare he greet her first!) thought Sylvianna as visible smoke leaking from her head.

She was a queen from the kingdom, it was a matter of course, to greet the person with the highest status first.

"Sylvianna, you look as beautiful as the first time I met you," said Lyon with a sincere smile.

His compliment totally caught her off guard as she slightly jerked her body before her cheeks turning red. She immediately averted her gaze from him before humming, "En."

"What?" asked Lyon seeing his queen's reaction.

"My, you shouldn't teased the queen like that Lyon," said Fei with a chuckle.

"Ah, Fei!" said the queen.

"Oh, that's right, what did you call me here for? I thought Karina was the one that summons me back?" asked Lyon.

From the information he got from Jugen, Karina was asking him to come back regarding a war that was about to happen anytime soon.

"Well, there is quite a funny story behind that case," chuckled Fei once again.

"No! Don't tell him! If you tell him I will kill myself!" said Sylvianna with her entire face turned a shade of red.

"Wow, such a strong reaction, NOW I REALLY WANT TO KNOW!" said Lyon as his eyes begging on Fei who held the secret.

"No! Don't tell him! I'm serious! I'm gonna kill myself if you did!"

"Don't worry about it Fei, I will revive her later if she did, NOW TELL ME!"

"What! How could you! Wait, is that even possible?!"

Lyon didn't realize that he was saying something unbelievable so easily. The two were staring at them in disbelief before Fei slightly contemplated.

"Hmm, indeed, I heard a report that the queen of Phantera Kingdom woke up from her slumber. Many thought that she fell sick from an incurable disease, however, I know for sure that she was dead."

"And it was you who manage to do the unbelievable feat," said Fei with her eyes staring at Lyon directly.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, there is something odd, who gave you that spatial ring?" asked Sylvianna as she pointed out a ring on one of Lyon's left fingers.

She was sure that the spatial ring was not there when he got to this world naked in front of her. He was butt naked, not a single ornament was there.

(Wow wait! Why am I suddenly being cornered!) thought Lyon.

"And your cultivation level? Wow, you reached peak Soul Realm already?!" said the queen in disbelief.

For others, it took years to accomplish what Lyon did, but for him, it was merely weeks. Not even fortuitous encounters could make that happen.

"Oh, that's right, not only that, but you bring two more beautiful females with you, didn't you?" asked the queen.

(Wait Wait Wait! What happen to the war?! Aren't we going to talk about the war!) thought Lyon as he gulped while facing the barrage questions.

Lyon swiftly grabbed the sleeping Fenrir on top of his head, "Look, I got a pet!"
