The Emperor Neptune
The Struggle for Love VIII

Violet already felt better after two days of resting in her room. In those two days the emperor did not visit him again. In his heart it hurts, but he realizes that if he chooses to stay alive then he must fight to defeat his heartache.

Violet taught some maids to make handicrafts from dried twigs and flowers.

"Daughter Violet, did the girls on Earth all make this thing?" ask a waiter.

"No. Just a few. We create a lot of creativity to fill our free time. It can be sold and we make a profit."

"Daughter of Violet, if I can make it well I will teach my villagers to make it."

"alright. Now finish that one."

Without them all realizing there was a pair of eyes that had been watching them since.

Then his feet approached them.

"Greetings to Princess Violet." a soft voice called out her name from behind him.

Violet turned her body around, and looked a beautiful, graceful woman.

Violet replied with a smile.

"Princess Violet, please introduce. My name is Xie Shine Aurora from the Xierus region." said the girl softly and politely.

Violet looked at the girl for a long time.

His eyes felt sore but he had to endure for no water to flow from them.

"Was the girl who now took his heart? She deserves it." Violet's inner with pain in her heart.

Aware of her long-time attitude of watching Princess Xie, Violet immediately smiled, saying,

"Greetings back to Princess Xie. I'm sorry I didn't realize you were coming."

"It's okay Princess Violet. I'm sorry I've seen you guys from a distance and I want to greet you."

"Can I help Princess Xie?"

"No, no. If I may want to be here with you. I want to learn how to make that thing." Princess Xie pointed at the flowers from recycled flowers, leaves and twigs that were already dried.

"Of course I can. Please." Violet invites Princess Xie to join them.

"Daughter Xie, is it true that you will be betrothed to the Emperor?" violet asked cautiously as they walked hand in hand after finishing making the craft together with the servants earlier.

"really. Why?"

"It's okay. I just wanted to ask. Sorry if I was so presumptuous to ask you that."

"Not at all. Princess Violet may ask me anything. If I could I would answer."

"alright. Thank you." Thank you."

"Then Princess Violet wanted to ask what else?"

"Does the Princess like the Emperor?"

Princess Xie chuckled faintly at Violet's question,

"This planet nobody dislikes the Emperor. Everyone loves him."

"I mean, will the lady accept it?"

"I have to accept it. This is a matter for us citizens of Xierus. Moreover, the Emperor and the elders of Xier himself determined it."

"What's? So the Emperor decided this match?"

"really. So the Emperor asked me to stay here now."

Violet lowered her head. It felt as if his eyes were getting sore to stem the overflow that was inside his chest.

"Princess Xie, I'm sorry. I forgot I had to do something. I'm sorry I can't keep you company to continue the walk in this park. I have to go."

"alright. Its alright. I thank you Princess Violet for teaching me art and also accompanying me."

"It's okay. Next time we can do it again. But now I have to go. Sorry I'm leaving first." Violet quickly left Princess Xie who had not even replied to her words.

"Help what miss?"

"Cooking in the kitchen."

"Whataaa?" asked Ling surprised.

"Don't miss, you don't deserve to be in that place" he continued.

"Ling are you arguing against me?"

"No, miss, I don't dare."

"I want to cook for the Emperor."

"Can the lady do it?"

"We'll see."

Violet ended up cooking aided by Ling and the other Ling friends. It turned out that Violet's presence in the kitchen was a concern for all the palace maids. No exception palace cooks who quietly pay attention to how to cook Violet so shrewd.

When Violet started to include the ingredients and the spices all who saw her were tempted by the aroma of Violet's cooking.

Seeing the enthusiasm of his audience consisting of chefs and waiters, Violet made it quite a lot to share with them.

After finishing cooking Violet scooped it up and arranged it neatly for the Emperor. While the rest have been made to fight over the servants.

"The color of your cooking is amazingly good." praise Ling while chewing on the rest of her food.

"really?"

"Right lady, this is the most delicious meal I've ever eaten."

"Then I will deliver this to the Emperor."

"May you succeed, miss."

"Thank you Ling.

Violet prepared herself by dressing up as beautifully as possible.

"May Kay like my cooking as well as my appearance." Violet thought expectantly.

Mr. deeggg...

Suddenly his heart was beating very fast.

"Awww..." Violet pressed her left chest firmly.

Then Violet's eyes began to twitch.

Violet rubbed both of her eyelids.

"Why this?" whispered.

Then slowly the mark on Violet reappeared.

Violet looked at her reflection behind the mirror.

"Why appear again?" Violet bangtung pressed down on her forehead.

"Yesterday if it appears never hurts. But why did it hurt my chest and my eyes were twitching." Then Violet's memory returned to the Emperor's message that if she felt any pain from her forehead she should tell the Emperor.

"alright. I'll ask him later." he said excitedly after the signs of illness and his heartbeat returned to normal.

Violet walked over with a grin while hugging the food box of her hard work. He hoped that the Emperor would like his cooking as much as the chefs and waiters liked his cooking.
