The Emperor Neptune
The Sacrifice of Love III

"Ling help me down the river." asked Violet as she extended her hand to Ling.

Violet dived into the clear river.

Enjoying the warmth of the flowing water gently sweeps the skin of his body.

"Miss I'm going to sprinkle this jasmine flower over there" Ling said as he threw a handful of jasmine flowers that he had just picked up.

Violet responded with a smile.

Once again Violet dived.

Ling gasped in shock as he looked at the face of Violet who had just emerged from the water. He almost fell off his balance. In a hurry Ling threw herself into the river, approached Violet and observed her face.

Violet looked at Ling with a bang.

"Miss, you...?" Ling was still closely watching Violet's face.

"Why Ling? What's wrong?" Violet suddenly became panicked.

"Your body is back to it."

Violet heard Ling's words as if in disbelief, slowly seeing the shadow of her face between the ripples of water.

"Ling, I'm back to the way I was." cried Violet happily then hugged Ling.

"Ling. Can you help me again?" Violet parsed her embrace.

"What miss?"

"Hide this matter. Don't tell anyone I'm back to how I was."

"But miss,-"

"Ling, please. Let's just say this is my last request."

"Miss why talk like that? Miss can always ask anything from me. Don't say the last one, as if she's gonna replace me with another waitress."

"There's no way I'm replacing you Ling. You were the best while I was here."

On Earth

"Darling, I promise to pick up and bring your dear sister back home." Mark rubbed Lisa's cheek gently to reassure her lover.

"Come back quickly. I miss Violet so much. He's been there for over a month."

"Yes dear. I couldn't go back there yesterday because I was busy taking care of the company."

"alright. You also quickly returned. I want to marry you soon, so we need to see my parents." Lisa sulks spoiled.

"Yeah. I promise it won't be long. I love you" Mark kissed Lisa's forehead.

"I know." replied Lisa smilingly hugging her lover.

"All right, I'll go first. Take good care of yourself. And in the meantime you'll be watching Mike and Suzu from Chandra's pursuit."

Lisa nodded her head in understanding.

Arriving in the room Violet hugged Ling while crying.

"Miss, why are you crying?" ask Ling astonished.

Violet parsed her embrace after her heart was satisfied.

"It's okay Ling. Thank you for being my best friend here. I will always remember and miss you." Violet wiped her tears.

"Miss why do you always talk like that?"

"It's okay Ling. Oh yes please give me fruits and cakes. After that you prepare you and anyone else do not enter this room until tomorrow afternoon."

"Why miss? How do I prepare your needs?"

"I will meditate to recover myself quickly Ling. The person who meditates should not be disturbed by anyone until his meditation is complete."

"Alright lady. I'll prepare it now."

"Thank you Ling."

Ling nodded his head and left.

Violet sighed heavily, then looked at the entire room she had been in.

Violet opened the nightstand, took out Kay's giver jewelry box first.

"Sorry, I have to give this back to you. I don't deserve to wear it. Princess Xie deserved this more." Violet rubbed the clear details on her cheek and closed the box again.

At night Violet had quietly walked out of her room through the window to avoid the guards.

Violet sneaks onto the mother ship, which will carry animals and plants to be returned to Earth.

After successfully sneaking in, Violet installed a safety device in the form of clothes and head coverings. With this outfit Violet could more freely disguise herself.

When entering the door of the aircraft carrier Violet had to pass an inspection. The person in the queue showed a flat glass to the guard.

It was Violet's turn to hand over the flat object.

Violet took out the same thing as the others.

"Your Virgia doctor is not on the list

" asked the guard in a faint voice as the head covering was using a sound filter, so the sound issued was not the original sound.

"The Emperor told me to ensure the health of the animals until they are ready to be released in his habitat on Earth."

"But there's already a vet representative here."

"So I'm not allowed in? Alright if you want to defy the Emperor's orders."

"Sorry doctor for my carelessness. Please come in."

Violet, disguised as Virgia, is finally free to board a large ship that will take her back to Earth.

The planet where he was born, raised, is also where he first met and shared his love with Emperor Neptune, Ri Kay Ray.
