The emperor summoned all the heads of the soldiers inside and outside the palace.
"Find the man of the earth to meet. If you fail, you will be thrust into the black valley for 5 years" said the Emperor with a threat that made the entire head of the soldier shudder in horror.
"Prepare to do the noble deed." Answer them in unison.
Then they came out of the place with a row that remained neat.
There were only high officials and nobles left.
Mark walked closer to the emperor.
"Hail your Majesty." said Mark.
"Prince Mark, have you found out where the earthlings are?"
"I'm sorry. To date, there are no clues as to where the man is. We're still looking for him."
"It's all because of your carelessness. Find him and leave it to me. I'll take care of it."
"Ready to carry out the noble command." said Mark then left the place.
The entire kingdom was kept busy searching for Violet's whereabouts. Especially when the emperor himself immediately gave the order to bring him alive and handed him over. Not only the soldiers of all his people also sought the existence of Violet on the Planet.
Mark met Violet in her hiding place. In the secret underground chamber that was inside his palace.
"Violet." call Mark in a whispering voice.
"Sister Mark. How's it?"
"You Vi. The emperor sought you out, even ordering all the chiefs of the soldiers to mobilize their entire army to search for you. Even the people of various regions are also looking for you."
"How come? What reward will he give until all his people will come looking for me." Violet snorted in annoyance.
"No reward Vi. You should know the emperor is so loved by all his people. Let alone looking for a prisoner. Their lives they would probably give gladly if the Emperor asked for them."
"Is that how much their love is?" asked Violet in surprise.
"really. The emperor brought greater glory than his late grandfather had left behind. On this planet there are no people who are lacking. All life is well-sufficient thanks to the wisdom of the emperor in leading."
"Waahh so great." muttered Violet.
"Violet, what if you just turn yourself in to her?"
"Akh no, no. I don't want my life to end in that black valley."
"Trust me Vi. He won't do it."
"No brother, I'm afraid."
"You're careless Vi, why did you run away and meet him without me." now Mark's turned pissed.
"Sorry brother. I miss him so much. I've come all the way to this place. Even I was locked in a chest to get here. I can't help myself not seeing him."
"I know Vi you want to meet him. But we should discuss how. What if it's like this?"
"Sorry brother." Violet understood his mistake.
Ling-ling, a loyal servant of Mark's, comes in haste until his breath is throbbed.
"Sorry Prince, your Majesty the Emperor is heading this way."
"Her Majesty the emperor?" violet and Mark asked at the same time.
"True prince."
"No, he's just with some soldiers outside and 2 servants.
"Thank you Ling. Ling please accompany Miss Violet here." You don't make any noise as long as the emperor is in my palace."
Ling nodded his head.
The emperor entered Prince Mark's reading room. Mark greeted her kindly and let her sit down, ready for tea.
"What's coming here? Tumben once?" ask Mark casually.
They do talk casually like friends if they are outside the main palace. The main palace is a palace devoted to meetings and everything that is formal.
"I know you're hiding it."
Mark smiled.
"Why so busy looking for her? Is this not my fault that I have to solve? Give me time to finish it and return it to earth."
"No! This time I'll take care of it."
"Why should that serepot? I'm still able to finish it without bothering you as a Kasiar. Many things require more energy and your mind."
"Did you challenge me this time?"
"No brother. How could I do that. If you may know what your reason is to mobilize all your soldiers and people to look for him? Isn't this overkill?"
"I searched for it for 10 days and was not found. What else can I do besides give them all?"
"I'm sure there's another reason. Give me the best reason I can to look for it."
"He, the Earth man has made me hot."
"Hot?"
"I mean since I met him I no longer need to inject energy into my body. She's like a witch. He makes me feel warm and can fall asleep. But then he left me without a trace. I'm sure he has a magic potion that makes me this strong."
"Then if you find out what will you do to him?"
"Of course I'll make her a special servant who should always be with me."
"Don't you throw it into the black valley?"
"Of course not. But wait a minute. How do you know I'm gonna throw it into the black valley?"
Mark smiled as he scratched his non-itchy neck.
"So you're the one who hid it?"
"I'm sorry. I'm in charge of him, because he's here because of my fault. He came to ask me for protection and I had to protect him as my responsibility."
"alright. I accept your excuse."
"thank you. I promise to bring it to you before nightfall. Pull out all your soldiers and spread the word if I find them."
"Well, if the sun goes down, he has not yet entered my inner palace, then this palace of yours I will burn."
"Are you going to make a new history?"
"What do you mean?"
"Of course it would be a new history on this Planet if an Emperor burned his cousin's palace."
"Hahaha." The two of them laughed together.
