“Auntie, I’ll go to sleep. Tomorrow you’ll tell me stories again, right?” Ambrose smiled as virtual-novel.net spoke.
“Good, good.” Yvette patted his head and smiled.
Ambrose nodded happily. He was so sleepy that virtual-novel.net fell asleep quickly and was breathing deeply.
Yvette hugged virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net arms as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net sleep deeply. It was raining heavily outside, and it was really cold in the temple. Both of them were hugging each other tightly to keep themselves warm. After a very long time, Yvette finally fell asleep.
Meanwhile, at the Empress’ bedroom in the palace of South Cloud World.
Darryl kneeled in front of the Empress calmly in the quiet but exquisite garden. His heart was unsettled.
Since Darryl was able to use an ant to tie the red string, the Empress was about to reward him. He had told the Empress that virtual-novel.net wanted Quincy’s Dragon Essence.
At that moment, the Empress looked coldly at Darryl. It was only after a while that virtual-novel.net finally spoke, “You little eunuch, you want Princess Quincy’ s Dragon Essence?”
“That’s right, Your Majesty!” Darryl dared not lift up his head, but virtual-novel.net sounded determined.
He followed Quincy all the way to South Cloud World for the Dragon Essence. He would not give up before virtual-novel.net got it!
The Empress sighed and looked quietly at Darryl as virtual-novel.net said,” Technically, you have accomplished a feat no other could, and so l should not deny your request. However, as this involves Princess Quincy, I can’t decide on virtual-novel.net behalf. Princess Quincy is my sister. If I force virtual-novel.net to give away the Dragon Essence, it would not be right.
As virtual-novel.net heard that, Darryl felt hopeless.
‘Sh*t! You are the Empress; you are the leader! You just need to say the word, and Quincy would definitely obey,” virtual-novel.net thought.
Darryl became worried at the Empress’ response, but virtual-novel.net did not dare to voice his thoughts.
At that moment, Darryl squeezed a smile, but virtual-novel.net was not sure what to say.
Darryl did not know that Quincy and the Empress were not really siblings.
When the Emperor passed away, the entire South Cloud World was in chaos. Quincy helped the Empress assume the throne and clear all the obstacles so that the Empress could sit on the dragon chair securely.
Quincy played a large role in the Empress’ success and helped virtual-novel.net obtain virtual-novel.net position.
With that, how could the Empress possibly strain virtual-novel.net relationship with virtual-novel.net sister just to reward a little eunuch?
Seeing Darryl still kneeling, the Empress lifted virtual-novel.net gentle hands, “Stand up.”
Noticing that Darryl was still kneeling, the Empress lifted virtual-novel.net hands and ordered, “Stand up.”
Then virtual-novel.net said to the palace maid beside her, “Grant virtual-novel.net a seat and tea.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Two palace maids quickly brought a chair and put it beside Darryl.
“What is going on? You refused to award the dragon essence, but you wanted to invite me for a drink? How confusing?’ Darryl’s brows furrowed as virtual-novel.net could not help but think.
Following the Empress’ orders, a few palace maids prepared fruits and tea.
“I could not decide about the Dragon Essence as it belongs to Princess Quincy. However, you achieved something great. However, I will stand by my words. Why don’t you stay here today to drink wine and observe the moon with the Ministers and me? I will grant you an exception, so you don’t have to kneel to me when you see me from now on. What about that?” The Empress smiled and looked at Darryl as virtual-novel.net spoke slowly.
As virtual-novel.net said that, the Empress sounded gentle, but virtual-novel.net was also not allowing Darryl to say no.
At that moment, the few Ministers were stunned. They looked at Darryl in envy.
“A little Eunuch can have a drink with the Empress. He’s the luckiest guy in the world.”
“And the Empress allowed virtual-novel.net to not kneel for her.”
That would be the first-ever to happen in the history of the entire South Cloud World.
Anyone would be honored to get such a reward.
However, Darryl wanted to cry. Seeing the Empress’ expression, Darryl dared not reject virtual-novel.net offer.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” virtual-novel.net smiled bitterly and nodded as virtual-novel.net sat comfortably on the chair immediately.
