The Emperor Neptune
The Battle of Love IV
"This "violet of your approved sign sometimes seems so obvious, and sometimes disappears. Don't you feel something along with the change?"
"No. I don't feel anything."
"If you feel something immediately tell me."
"All right."
"Dry!" The emperor patted her thigh asking Violet to sleep on her lap.
"I'm sitting there?" violet asked without understanding the emperor's intentions.
"Put your head here. Don't put it in that hard place."
Violet smiled and according to the Emperor's orders. The Emperor stroked the strands of Violet's hair gently.
"You're happy hemm..?"
"heeemmmm..." Violet answered him with just a small mutter.
"We'll have plenty of time for this. But I don't think I've really calmed down yet if I haven't tied you to marriage."
"When do we get back to Earth?"
"I'll have Gia prepare."
Violet nodded happily.
"Hail the Emperor. The company of Xierus has arrived at the main gate." A soldier reported.
"All right, I'll see him."
The soldier left, Violet raised her head from the Emperor's lap.
"I'll see him for a minute. Go back to the room and wait for me. Do you mind?"
Violet shook her head.
"No. Go, I'll clean myself up while waiting for you to come back."
"Thank you." The Emperor gave her a sweet kiss before leaving Violet.

Princess Xierus was in the room accompanied by her two loyal servants. Sit on my chair with grace. Knowing the Emperor's arrival he smiled and bowed in greeting and respect.
"Princess Xie you came earlier than I expected."
"Yes your honor. Servants in the San Gi area have been since 2 weeks ago for cooperation between regions."
The Emperor smiled and let Princess Xie sit down again.
"Princess Xie of course you already know why I asked you to stay in this palace for a while."
Princess Xie nodded her head and lowered her head.
"Daughter do you agree with this match?"
"The servant has no power to reject the noble edict and also the decrees of the elders of Xierus."
Princess Xie was speechless digesting and considering the answer she would give to the Emperor.
"Hamba came on a noble command with the honor of the people of Xierus. There is no way the servant will retreat before fighting the noble one."
The smiling Emperor got a bold answer by upholding the honor of his people from Princess Xie's lips.
"Daughter Xie, you're beautiful, the daughter of the Xierus region chief. Your intelligence in various fields of science is no longer in doubt. Are there no princes or young men pulling you in?"
"Pardon the noble servant of the Emperor, but what is the meaning of this question? Does his Majesty want me to step down or does his majesty want to change the decision that the Emperor himself has made with elder Xierus?"
"You're really smart Princess Xie. Go beristiharat. My servant will escort you to your residence while here." the Emperor said later.
Princess Xie stood up and bowed her body saluting the Emperor then walked out of the place.
"Princess Xierus turned out not only to have elegance as a princess as well as a beautiful face as a noble. But her intelligence could not be underestimated." The inner Emperor once Princess Xie was no longer in the room.

The emperor returned to his room to find Violet turning the ancient text back into his hands.
"What are you doing with that?"
the Emperor asked surprised Violet who was unaware of her presence.
"none. I found it there and I wanted to see it." replied Violet as she pointed at the shelf of basins containing various unique items neatly lined up.
The Emperor approached Violet.
"This is ancient writing. I can't read it. Can you read it?"
The Emperor did not answer Violet's question, his eyes staring intently at the thing in his hand.
"Please read it to me." asked Violet with a sweet smile.
"No. Give it to me or put it back in its place." the Emperor said with a flushed face.
"But I want to know what this writing means. It seems like good literature." Violet who was still overwhelmed with curiosity had yet to realize the anger on the Emperor's face.
"Why are you so stubborn?" the Emperor asked so loudly with the face that had turned even more flushed with anger.
"I-I just want to know." Violet was getting nervous.
"Don't always argue with me! Put it back in Violet's place! I set you free does not mean you can cross your boundaries." said the Emperor firmly.
Violet who saw the furious Emperor became frightened. There was a pain at the end of his heart that the emperor's treatment had suddenly changed.
"Sorry I was sassy. I will return it." said Violet with a trembling voice then got up from her seat and headed for the large shelf to return the item that was held by her hand, in line with that Violet's hands suddenly wet with sweat.
Finding the change in the Emperor's attitude so sudden Violet was unable to hold back her tears that gushed down her cheeks.
His heart felt so painful. After a while the Emperor carried his feelings flying high and studded with flowers. Now with a mistake that he does not understand as a big mistake change his attitude in an instant and throw his feelings to the bottom.
While Violet was still trying to hold back her disappointment and with all her restraint was not the apology she got from the Emperor. But the Emperor simply left him.
As Violet's body fell, she clenched her knees and buried her face on her knees.
" What's my fault? How come he's suddenly like that? Sister Lisa I'm afraid, I want to go home." cried Violet instantly.
