Chapter 71 - Part 1: Arriving at A City

The sky is ready to set, the sun in its's orange form as the clouds mixed into its color. For sure it will be a beautiful sunset. Close to what Logan said, they arrived at 4:40 in the afternoon.

Celestia wonders how come Astrid did not come with Logan instead of her. The man tries not to open up the topic regarding Astrid, he said that he doesn't want her to get upset.

She knew something is up, something happened between the two, she can't just grasp what it is.

It is indeed a city with all those opened lights from above, you can see tall buildings almost the same layout as Theavarians. Alutia is a wonderful empire, even the Kingdoms underneath it are advanced in terms of technology and information.

'Thusha is the only Kingdom that's not that progressive' she sighed, she feels downhearted for her kingdom, however, she also likes that Thusha is like a fortress, her sanctuary.

After an hour and a half in the airplane, the two went down again, Celestia retouched her make-up since Logan stated that it will be an auction and a bar afterward. Knowing the events of an emperor, one can make sure it will be grand and extravagant.

Her 'hubby' insisted that he will be the one to choose what she will wear ending up with a red mermaid dress that resembles the color of ruby that stresses her luscious body, partnered with a flaming red lipstick. Her golden hair tied up in a French twist, with a few loose strands of hair falling down to the side of her face, framing her face. Her ears and neck, bare from any accessories.

Anyone would bow down to the goddess right before their eyes, however, this goddess is heavily guarded by her lover, a fierce and ruthless one in fact.

No one would believe that this woman just ate four cakes in total before arriving at A City, Logan even tried to stop her, but again, he's no match to her strong will to eat.

"Let's go," he said, offering his arm for Celestia to use as a support. The lady gladly accepted it.

Today, the color of her dress matched Logan's necktie, no wonder the emperor insisted on choosing her dress. He wants her to wear the same as his!

These little things made Celestia fall harder for Logan, he's very keen on her needs and actions. It's the little things that made a huge difference in their relationship.

Little things such as waking up with each other by their side...

The two looks dazzling in their ruby matching clothes. Logan with his usual regal suit and ruby necktie engraved in it is Theavarian's gold emblem. The ruby symbolizing fire, their empire's element, and the phoenix carved in gold.

Upon going down, they were welcomed by two equally handsome men. The other one with black hair and a mischievous smile in his brown suit while the other with blond hair, longer than a regular guy's hair, looking from afar his beauty is comparable to a woman, however, his aura tells you otherwise, besides his hair, there are no more feminine attributes you can find.

The two stood tall among the crowds full of bodyguards, four were in the man with black hair and another four on the man with a blonde.

The guards bowed at Logan and Celestia, greeting them in a union. Celestia just smiled. Her knees are getting weak just from seeing the other two emperors, they give off a vibe same as Logan's,

dangerous and remorseless.

"Where is Grayson?" Hannibal questioned Logan as he approaches him. His eyes glued on the lady beside Logan.

"Logan! Finally, you got rid of Astrid!" The one in a brown suit said, even though he said that Logan shouldn't bring his wife since they will be going to a bar, today is an exception, who would've thought that their 'love is an illness' friend will bring another woman?

Now, this is getting interesting for Dominick Feng, it's what he does anyway, play with love.

Logan did not mind the stupid remark from his friend, "We still haven't talked after discussing the dissemination of the cure" he said responding to Hannibal.

Hannibal nodded slightly.

"Who are you with?" the blonde man shifted the topic.

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesties, I'm Celestia," she said, shaking hands with the two men.

"What a beautiful name for a beautiful lady," Dominick said, kissing her hand when Logan gave him a slight punch on the head.

"Aww man, we used to share," he said, now massaging his head as if that affected his tough skull.

'Share what? Ladies?' Celestia shot daggers at Logan, it seems like he has a playful side after all! She pinched his arm a little, but the man did not even budge a little!

"Never again" Logan retorted as he swiftly puts his hand on Celestia's waist.

"So? No more cure eh?" Hannibal being the sensible one, inquired.

Logan has been working on the cure since he was a child, he created it by the age of 19 but there are still some defect on it, now, at the age of 25, the cure is 99.9% guaranteed to serve as anesthesia to a human's emotions, it even comes in an injection now.

Once taken there is no going back.

"Grayson insisted to have it, but I won't allow him,"

Although almost all his life he focused his time doing the cure, he can let it go. Trillions went into that project, he still hasn't informed his father about this decision. Even the elites are badgering him from time to time, but what can those people do? He is the emperor.

Hannibal nodded slightly. He too, is a scientist himself, he provided Logan help from time to time, but if you were going to question him about his opinion regarding the cure, he'd say, they are not still ready for the consequences.

Eradicating emotions throughout the world? Indeed it will increase productivity and efficiency but it may lead to human extinction and other problems unforeseen even by the Logan.

If a person is too immersed in his job, why would he desire to build a family?

"Now, let's get our heads off in that for a moment," Dominick said, also against at the cure simply because he enjoys the drama.

The four of them went inside the medieval-like mansion. It is well maintained outside but getting on the inside, you can see how the modern world gets into it. It feels like the house has been purposely made to look medieval because of its function, to accommodate all the richest man around the world to bid on the ancient treasures found.

As they sat down on the VVIP seats prepared, Celestia can't help but feel intimidated having the emperors by her side, she never knew she will get this close to them, literally.

She exhaled as her nervousness almost get her, all eyes are on them, from what you can see, different types of evening gowns, from black to bubblegum pink, almost all of these people are either a King, Queen, Princess, Prince, Emperor of a small empire, Dutch, CEO's of the biggest companies and such, in other words, the royals, aristocrats and elites.

The auction already began and the people are seated comfortably on their plume Blanche diamond-encrusted chair, one of the most expensive chairs around the world, one chair would cost at-least a small island.

Everyone is ready to bid when the big door opened, highlighting the entrance of the last emperor to arrived.

Grayson walking majestically with two girls beside him, one with her golden hair flowing down beautifully, matching her smoky eyes and red lipstick, no one would have guessed she is the 'innocent' empress of Theavarian.

'If you want war Celestia, who am I to back out without fighting?'

It took her hours to pick her broken pieces, after hours of counseling Brielle, her b*tch self uncovers. While she's there crying on the floor, the other woman is happy with her husband.

She will not take any more bullsh*ts.

This time, she will not settle with 'pity' she wants Logan so much she will do anything even getting her hands tainted.

The good Astrid Vega? Dead and left behind at the same bathroom Logan left her.

Along with her is a woman also equally stunning with her black backless dress, her slit exposing her long legs. Her bronze skin complimented her straight black hair.

Brielle Reagan Jade.

Among the crowd, she managed to find Celestia, the woman beside Logan.

'It's payback time.' her mouth formed a smirk as her eyes pierced Celestia from afar.

It will be the biggest revenge, only now, it's against the protagonist.
