Chapter 48 - Lilie Grayson

"Yanyan? W-Where are you?" she asks, her face a mess as she walks barefoot.

Sure, she did get stronger but how can she fight for their lost love when the other already gave up? Rather, he disgusts her, his eyes void of any emotions as if she's not even worth a second of his life.

'Eros you dumb ass! Why did you shot only one arrow at Adam?! and 1000 on me?!'

"I'm here at S City, spying our possible opponents, why?" she replied from the other line.

"Can you come here? I'll text you the address" she said, now sniffing as she blames the god of love.

Theavarian empire sure is cold... people no longer laugh often, many are just focused on their work or cellphones, not looking at the partner beside them.

She hugs herself, she needs to get home, at least in there, she has Aiden and Eden to shower her with warmth and affection.

A red Lamborghini Veneno Roadster honks in front of her, talking about a wealthy best friend...

She asked Yanyan why she still wants to risk her life working on underground and illegal businesses when she's the sister of Grayson Rowan. All she replied is, "My life, my rules, good thing Alutia Empire is not stuck on tradition like Thusha Kingdom, they can't make me wear a dress that heavy!" The two of them laughs at that comment, indeed, Thusha is too stuck up on history.

But what can she do? They may be the last descendant of Aphrodite and Eros...the only people who still believe in love strongly.

"Come in!" her best friend, Yanyan said. Her brown hair tied up in a messy bun. Her shades on and her bronze skin glows under the sunlight.

"What happened?" Yanyan inquired as she drives on the busy road.

"I-I met him..."

"Who?Adam?! OMG, did he kissed you? Wait, you are not pregnant right?!"

Celestia is torn between crying or laughing, how can they have a serious talk when Yanyan is always oblivious to how love and having babies work? Really, for a 28-year-old woman, she really is the new definition of naive and stupidity mixed.

"No!" she replied blushing, Celestia started to tell her everything that happened from the gold carvings of the elevator up unto what Adam last said.

"The nerve of that guy! What is his name and I'll hire a sniper" Yanyan is laughing but Celestia knows that hidden beneath those pretty laugh is a serious Lilie Grayson, who is willing to kill another person for her best friend.

"That, I still don't know," Celestia said, it's the truth anyway.

Come to think of it, why is he in there anyway?

'Basing on his suit, he might be a manager!' she thought, but are managers in Theavarian Empire so rich that even their cufflinks are made of gold?

"So the ending is, you did not get the job plus you just embarrassed yourself? Talking about a country bumpkin" her friend teased her relentlessly.

"Err, if you are not driving I would have already hit you on the head Yanyan!" she retorted, although deep inside, she is thankful for her friend who takes her mind off Adam or whoever he is.

Celestia sighed after a while, "What time is the match?"

Now, she has no other choice but to participate, her job could have saved her from financial crisis!

"9 pm, Saturday, wear something sexy, we might find a sugar daddy" her best friend kidded.

Oh, these two adults still living their life funnier each day!

Really? A sugar daddy for the princess of Thusha Kingdom and the princess of Alutia Empire.

That might be written in history if anyone knew.

The two young ladies laughed as their hair danced through the open roof of the car, strong winds on their smiling faces.

Fact: Emperor vs. King. In a monarchy an emperor and king are both rulers, but the power associated with them is different. ... An empire can have many kingdoms within it; the emperor rules the entire empire while kings (or queens) rule smaller kingdoms within the empire.

Alutia Empire is much larger than Thusha. Thusha is just under the Alutia Empire.
