Let him take her out of this danger-filled place was all that mattered for the moment!

He said that he wished her king to take a wife and have kids earlier and she would be a good choice right?

She had to roll the dice for her life!

Aster saw his excited face, which made her feel grief and joy all at once. She nodded solemnly, "For real! Just take me out of this place!"

"This I surely can do! The question is, the king does not even like you now, even if you get naked and show up in his bed before him, all he wants is to kill you..." Herald folded her arms and looked at Aster, who got dirt and grass all over her face and clothes, and pondered.

After he’d injured Aster’s self-esteem by his cruel words, Herald snapped his fingers, "Got it! Let’s give you a major transformation!"

Trans...formation?!

Aster was at a loss and before she realized, she was already high above in the sky, among-st the clouds, in a carriage drawn by two dragons!

"I’m in a carriage drawn by dragons?!"

Herald pouted and added, "don’t be surprised, you’ll be in the king’s bed later!"

A chill came over her. There was a concern bothering her very much so she turned to him, "we... we just left without noticing him, is it possible that your king never gives me a chance to seduce him and," she made a slit across her throat gesture, "... when he finds out?"

"So we got to run! You can go directly into his bed after we’ve finished the transforming with you." Herald jogged the the jade ring rein and the dragons soared into the higher unknown. She heard Herald raised his voice in the roaring passing wind , " Success or failure, we’d know very soon."

The wind was not cold, but it hurt her face at this speed..

She raised her voice too in a fright, "how would we know soon? Even if I succeed in having sex with him, that wouldn't promise a child! Say I have the a child, what if he doesn’t want it? Chances are that he will kill me after the sex! No! No! That’s absolutely not a good idea!"

Aster started to question this whole plan, and felt this journey was fraught with danger.

She pulled at his sleeves and asked for a brake, "stop the carriage! Stop! We should reconsider this whole plan! We should reconsider this plan!"

Then the dragon carriage went on a sharp halt and Aster almost fell out. She cried with frightened tears because of her acrophobia, whining, "you don’t have to slam the brakes?!"

But now Herald clutched the glass rings with a subtle look. Aster was confused and nudged him, "what’s happening?"

Herald leaped out the carriage and knelt on one knee beside.

"Your majesty." He greeted the man appeared from no where before them.

Aster clutched the armrest, her eye to the direction where Herald knelt, and she saw the impressive handsome face and those sharp amber eyes and a chill came over her.

He... came so soon...

Everything is screwed...

Never mind, this is the end.

Aster just saw no hope of survival now, and started to recall the fragments of memories in the past few days. She sat there and bit her lips, and didn’t pay any attention to the men.

Adalwolf gave a slight glance at her and his eyes fell on Herald; His cold lips moved, "So?Where are you planning to take her?"

Herald hadn’t expected that it would came so soon and had no idea what to respond.

Beads of sweat swelled on his forehead. Herald mumbled for such an awkward while and still didn’t manage to answer the king’s question.

He had the intuition that he would suffer punishment this time. Fuck... this time, is it cleaning shit for these evil beasts in the wild areas or making salt under the burning sun of the Woeful Sea?

Jesus! Serving is not easy business. He just put some extra attention to his king’s love life, and wanted a queen and a family for him! He is not young, why doesn’t he have the conception of a happy marriage?

Just work and work and work!

He was even allowed for a fucking vacation!

The man is mad! No a single day off since he came to the throne?!

Every dream he had at night was that the king his majesty turned to women and love, loosened his grip of work, and set him free!

He had grievances!

"Your...majesty...I just wanted to take her to you in your court!"

Adalwolf frown slightly at him, elegant eyebrow tilted, asked tentatively, "Really? For what matter?"

Herald dared not to sweep his sweats on his forehead, and decided to burn the bridge, "this girl confessed her most fervent affection for you and wouldn’t wait for another second! Your majestic elegance and unmatched talent had engraved deeply on her mind! She could not restrain her burning loving heart! Now! She! Couldn’t wait to give your an heir! I saw her tearing with such sincere love, so I decided for you and took her before you!"

Aster couldn’t believe what she just heard.

That psycho! I didn’t fall in love with him!

Aster was in desperation of dying soon, but these ridiculous words of that Herald Grant pissed her off.

By giving his king a child she only meant for survival. She didn’t say at all she was in love with him!

Aster understood that she was going to die, with not a single trace of hope of living anyway, so she sprung up from her chair, clenched her fists and and was ready to deny it.

But just when she was going to spitting it out, she noticed the gesture Herald made behind his back.

Aster hit the brake. Recalling his ridiculous nonsense he just rambled, she understood his intention.

Herald is using his stalling tactics!

It was her own life. He was offering his generous hand, so she should suck it up and couldn’t give up.

Aster, in this critical blinking of an eye time, she put on her most believable front, pinched her thigh secretly and hot tears just watered in her eyes. So, before this blacked robed and amber-eyed man, with choked tears she confessed to him eye to eye, "your majesty, he’s telling the truth! I fell for your handsome face at the first sight, and never have I forgotten it since. Every time I wake up, all I miss so much is your smell..." she took a long breath at this turning point, and continued, "I’ve realized my previous ignorant behavior, and found it most offensive and unforgivable. I see it now! I beg your majesty for mercy and generosity and allow me a chance to love you! I promise I’ll spare no effort!"
