Chapter 117 - Emery Came To Visit

This was possible, as even Chen Qian and Chong Ji were impressed when they saw it the first time... Being frank, they were impressed whenever the floating car approached the majestic tree of the world.

"And now?" Mu Liang asked seeing several white cabin-like structures. In front of each cabin there is a small arch and two imperial guards, there were no stairs but there were some floating platforms where Mu Liang saw a group of Zerg dressed in gardeners' clothes climbing, they were going somewhere that Mu's eyes could see. Liang could not see.

"They are going to the machines they use to take care of the world tree, being so gigantic and so important of course it needs a lot of care and constant checks,"

Alessandra-066 said as she saw Mu Liang stare at the floating platforms.

In the palace where the world tree is located, there were three positions that were of great importance, the manager position, the gardener position, and the botanist position, so there are a lot of Zerg Diablos instead of robots employed around.

"We're going to get this teleport. Each teleport takes you to a different part of the palace. We are going to the part of the palace where the bedrooms, offices, kitchens are, in short, the whole habitable part of the palace." Chong Ji answers Prince Mu with a terse explanation.

Mu Liang, who was until then stunned by the sudden and mysterious female voice that invaded his consciousness, now had a headache just imagining his new schedule.

Yes, he had priorities of concern. First the worldly duties and then he worried about the voices in his head, after all, what would be one more voice in his head for him, wouldn't it?

Alessandra-066: (...)

I think the prince must worry about the voices in his head!

Mu Liang: (...)

I'm much more worried about etiquette and dancing classes now, the voices in my head won't trip me up in front of the Diablo Empire nobles!

Alessandra-066: (...)

I still think the voices in the head are more dangerous...

Mu Liang: (...)

*completely bypassing the system*

So two more days went by quickly, unfortunately for Mu Liang, the days were too slow, as he had escaped from the secret mansion earlier, Chong Ji and Bae Dong were being too strict with his schedule and he didn't even have time to tour the palace and know the surroundings.

Chen Qian and Mylan Dangan (leader of Zatrara's guards) were keeping a close watch so Mu Liang couldn't even think about running away again. In fact, this was a kind of punishment, but all with good intentions, as things were too hectic in the Diablo Empire with investigations into Concubine Jang's treachery and two back-to-back terrorist attacks by the Rebels.

To make matters worse Gyasi wasn't sleeping in the palace and didn't visit him, which left him feeling even more lonely and helpless, it was as if everyone was punishing him for his previous irresponsible behavior.

Today would be a more pleasant day, as the white dragon would visit him, how Emery got this power to visit him, he didn't know, but Mu Liang was very happy to be able to do anything other than study the customs and memorize the image and names of the important nobles in his mind.

The living room was ready and snacks were on the exquisite table, unfortunately, the artwork was a little quirky with many nude statues, life-size statues of various models of Zerg Diablos, whether male or female.

With such advanced technology, it is clear that the statues looked almost real, which caused even more embarrassment for Mu Liang. He looked through the statues and felt relieved not to see a statue of Gyasi, otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do.

Should he fight with the groom if he had that kind of statue in the palace?

Or should he take the statue to the bedroom to satisfy his desire to see Gyasi?

Would Gyasi be jealous if he did that?

Was he too weird to think about it and get a little excited?

Mu Liang thought of so many random things, but the truth that he missed Gyasi and didn't know what he should do, should he go visit his fiance at Military Quarters?

After thinking about it for a while, he was still going to wait another two days, if Gyasi didn't show up he was going to make this request for a visit, Mu Liang didn't want to disturb the work rhythm of his fiancé who should be working hard for the Diablo Empire.

After reflecting on Gyasi, Mu Liang looked around once more and thought he should hold the meeting elsewhere, but Emery had already arrived in the visiting room accompanied by a Zerg Diablo who seemed to have a strangely subservient attitude beside the red-haired man.

Emery looked around without being surprised or embarrassed, just so Mu Liang realized that he was the only one who was upset. The black man with long black hair and orange iris eyes bowed to Mu Liang and left the room after a brief observation, which left Mu Liang a little confused as to this person's identity and made him even more certain that he was the only one who found the statues disturbing.

Until Bae Dong entered the room and the man's face turned red, he quickly controlled himself and looked at Prince Mu, if he had something to say he had already forgotten, he simply greeted Emery and Prince Mu and left the room visit as if he were running from something.

Mu Liang felt a little more relieved to realize that he wasn't the only one who felt intimidated by the open culture of the Diablo Empire.

"How have you been?" Mu Liang refocused on his guest. He sat down on a soft black three-seater sofa, inviting Emery to sit next to him.

"Things are a little complicated, but life is comfortable for now," Emery said, confusing Mu Liang with such an almost meaningless response.

"Is someone making things complicated for you? Do you need my help?" Mu Liang asked solicitously, he felt he owed a little to Emery as because of him they had to put their lives in danger in the secret tunnels.

Emery smiled at Mu Liang, it was a beautiful smile and it made him even more beautiful, the titan wanted to laugh, but he held back. He thought it was cute that the mortal was being so solicitous, but it was funny that the only one causing trouble was the Emperor of the Diablo Empire, not something that Mu Liang could help.

"Don't worry I'm not being intimidated, my problem I can solve, but if I solve it I'll make a person cry which will be even more problematic," Emery said sipping some white tea, the jasmine aroma was fragrant and made him feel more relaxed.

"Oh... So it's a romantic problem?"

"How did you know? But it's true, he is a very romantic person... After one night and he wants to get married, do you believe that? He became so sticky…I almost didn't get to visit you." Emery complained a lot and snorted a little, but he seemed to have a lighter face.

Mu Liang was surprised that in just 4 days the white dragon was already in romantic trouble, but that made him curious.

"Does the prince want to know who it is?" Emery asked with an evil smile upon receiving such a glowing look of curiosity, but still stunningly beautiful.

"No," Mu Liang responded quickly, making Emery chuckle at the half-elf's suspicious expression as he responded so quickly.

"Emperor Ade seems to be out of work and gets all sticky when he arrives," Emery said anyway, noting the surprise on Mu Liang's tender face, which made him laugh some more.

"Where did you meet the emperor? When was it? Wedding? Will you be the new empress?" Mu Liang fired several questions at the same time, he almost choked talking and coughed a little.

Emery then explained how things went, of course, he omitted controlling the time and space, he used the subterfuge of the dragon species which had a body-transforming power that could make him as small as a small mosquito or as big as a large ship space.

"You could have died for breaking into the emperor's office!" Mu Liang nearly jumped off the couch, but couldn't help grabbing Emery's hands.

"I was just curious to know who was the ruler of the empire that had taken me in for so long," Emery said looking very humble and innocent looking.

It wasn't a lie, as this body was collected by an NGO that paid for him to stay in the hospital so he could die without pain.

After a while Mu Liang tried to put some common sense into Emery's head, which was quite funny since he himself had little common sense for others, he finally congratulated Emery on finding a destined partner.

"Destined partner? He simply marked me and now he wants to get married, we don't know each other very much... Also, being the empress... It's not something I can easily decide"
