Darryl breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to leave after he understood the situation.
Since the Empress was only talking in her dream because she was hallucinating, why would he be afraid of that?
âYour Majesty!â
Before he could turn around to leave, he saw the Empressâs body turned sideways, and her jade-like hand grabbed
Darrylâs arm.
The Empress had begun to hallucinate under the influence of the Illusion Pill. Unfortunately, she did not realize that
she had caught Darrylâs arm by accident.
âYour Majesty, the North Moana is coming for us. Today, we had managed to defend against their invasion, but I
know that Yang Jian will definitely not give upâhe will be back. I am so scaredââ The Empress held Darrylâs arm as
she mumbled to herself.
The Empress who was talking to the Emperor in her illusion was no longer her usual intimidating self. Instead, she
looked gentle and weak, just like any other woman, which was a pitiful scene.
However, Darryl was not in the mood to appreciate the Empressâ gentlenessâhe was anxious.
âD*mn it! The Empress grabbed me so tightly, and if I force myself out of her grip, Iâll risk waking her up from the
illusion. But what if she grabs onto me all night long if I donât break free?â
âHow would I explain myself when the eunuchs and the palace maids come in the morning?â
Darryl dared not move; his palms were sweaty.
âYour Majesty!â
The Empress continued to speak softly. âDo you know that it was Sisterâs Prince Consort, Darryl, who managed to
repel the North Moana Army today? Heâs the Elysium Gateâs Sect Master from the World Universe Continent. I am
going to hand the military power over to him, and I hope that he can defeat the North Moana Armyâ¦â
The Empress wrapped her arms around Darryl tightly. She could not hide her excitement. âYour Majesty, if you were
still here, I would never need to be in such a difficult situationâ¦â
The Empress was overwhelmed with emotions when she said that. Her delicate face looked gentle as she drew
close to Darrylâs chest.
Hiss!
Darryl drew in a breath of cold air as he looked at the perfectly curved Empress in his arms.
When the Empress hugged him so tightly, the unique scent on her body made Darrylâs mind go blankâhe was
utterly stunned.
The Empress, guided by her emotions, pouted her red lips and kissed Darryl.
The Empress was utterly trapped in the illusion, and she thought that Darryl was the Emperor, so she let herself
loose.
Buzz!
Darryl felt like he had been electrocuted; his brain buzzed, and he was stupefied.
Sh*t!
Finally, Darryl reacted, and he said, âYour Majesty, Your Majesty, wake upâ¦â
Even though it was a heavy offence to break into the Empressâ room, albeit accidentally, it was a capital crime to
take advantage of the Empress. He could be beheaded.
After he weighed the pros and cons, Darryl decided to wake the Empress.
However, the Empress was so emotional that she had completely lost her mind. There was no way she could wake
up.
Mwah!
The next second, before Darryl could react, the Empress kissed him passionately.
âYour Majesty, Your Majesty?â Darryl was in a daze. He tried his best to wake the Empress.
However, the Empress failed to hear Darrylâs voice; she hugged Darryl tightly.
Darryl had no idea how long it took, but the Empress fell asleep peacefully after it was over.
Darryl sat next to her with mixed feelings. âNo, I have to go. What if the Empress kills me when she wakes up?â
âI should leave before she wakes up!â
Darryl quickly put on his clothes and left the room quietly.
It was dawn, and the sky had brightened slowly.
Darryl frowned. It was too early for him to go to the city gate and manage the army.
Darryl looked at the next room, and he hesitated momentarily before he walked into the room.
âIâve entered the Empressâ room by mistake. This one must be Quincyâs.â
As soon as he pushed the door and got into the room, Darryl was stunned by the scene in front of him. He drew in a
deep breath.
Quincy wore a white dress as she sat on a chair; her delicate face looked tired.
It was apparent that Quincy had not slept all night.
âDarryl!â
Quincyâs trembled when she saw Darryl. She bit her lips and said, âWhy are you back so late? Where did you go all
night?â
Quincyâs tone was cold, but her heart pounded, and she was very nervous.
Yes, Quincy had stayed up all night.
She had lost a bet with Darryl, and she was meant to be at Darrylâs beck and call. Quincy was depressed. As the
eldest princess, she had always been served by the others. When did she ever serve someone else?
After she lost the bet, Quincy had no choice but to keep her promise and waited in the room for Darryl to return.
That night, Quincy had been very nervous. She was afraid that Darryl would be excessively demanding when he
was back. She dared not sleep and had been waiting all night for Darryl. It was almost dawn before she saw Darryl.
