The Emperor Neptune
RETURN 1

"Honey, I'm not calm linger here with Violet. It looks like this place will only bring trouble and hardship to Violet" Lisa said in Mark's speech.

"I understand your concern. But there are rules we can't break, baby. Or later it just complicates everything."

"What if we get back as soon as possible? There was no need to wait for Feng and Princess Xie's wedding."

"Honey, Feng has no one but me and his sister, Suzu. How could I not attend the wedding?"

"Heeeeffhh... " Lisa sighed and released herself from Mark's embrace.

"What if Violet comes home alone? Can Virga and some of the best bodyguards be with you?"

"Will it be safe?"

"As long as this has never happened there have been problems in terms of travel between Neptune to Earth or vice versa. The only problem is when Violet infiltrates and goes undercover with Virgia's ID access."

"I shouldn't have brought Violet here." Lisa's tears of regret flowed.

Mark grabs both shoulders of his tiny wife.

"Dear, don't say that. I will discuss this with the Emperor. Hopefully we get a solution to this problem. You calm yourself here."

Lisa nodded according to her husband. Followed by the warm embrace of Mark's sturdy hand.

...****************...

"Your highness Prince Mark asked to face" said a palace guard.

The emperor nodded his head.

Shortly after, Mark came in.

"You go out." the Emperor told the servant and the soldier in the room.

The Emperor, Mark, and Eunuch Jeong.

The Emperor stood up and walked towards Mark

"What's wrong?"

"I want to discuss Violet's matter."

"Hmmm... Come." Comehere." The emperor walked to another place in the room which was filled with soft pillows and tables filled with drinks and fruits followed by Mark and Eunuch Jeong.

"What's wrong with her?"

"My wife, Lisa, is very worried about her sister. Up until now she didn't even want to eat because she kept thinking about her sister."

"Isn't he safe with me? I guarantee his safety myself."

"I know I tried to calm my wife down but she asked me to return to Earth as soon as possible."

"What's? Why?" The Emperor was surprised to hear his cousin's words.

"He saw Violet get into a lot of trouble over here. And what's more, he now knows that Ariexa's after him."

The emperor was silent for a moment,

"What do you think of Eunuch Jeong?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Ariexa is indeed inside Neptune but her bodyguards are out there. What I'm worried about is that if anyone finds out that Princess Violet is on her way back to Earth then they could be doing things that could actually harm her."

"That's what I'm worried about, too." The Emperor again saw Mark's face that looked tangled.

"Mark, you should also be present at Feng and Princess Xie's wedding. It would be very bad for your relationship with Feng if you weren't there at the time of the wedding."

"I understand that. But I can't let Istriki constantly worry about her sister like this."

"Hemm okay. Later tonight come to my inner palace only with your wife."

...****************...

"You okay?" Kay gave Violet a cup of warm tea.

"No. I think this is my duty. I'll keep my promise to you Vi. I will always protect you. Of any danger."

"Are you sure this is safe?"

"of course. No one knows about our departure."

"Thank you."

"Don't say that. I did it because I wanted to."

"You mean?" Violet looked at Kay with a gaze so filled with questions and expectations.

"I mean I want to make sure you're safe until you get home." Kay shifted her eyes.

"Now drink that tea and rest."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll be another room. So you can be more comfortable."

"You avoiding me?"

"Of course not Violet. If I avoid you, I will not be in front of you. Heemm...?"

"On what happened back then,-" Violet did not continue her words.

"I'm sorry Vio for my stupidity. I promise I won't repeat it. I will try with all my abilities to be able to better hold myself to you."

Kay's answer was like a curse to Violet. It hurt so much, so much pain made Violet's chest instantly feel tight.

"I am guilty. I betrayed you. I'm the one who never listens to your explanation. I'm that... Hiiixxzz. "Violet's cry broke out.

Kay immediately drew closer to Violet.

"Ssttt. Don't cry. I don't blame you. Really am... It's just that I haven't been able to change your position in my heart." Kay wiped Violet's tears.

"This destiny has never been on my side. What's my fault for having to go through something like this over and over again?" violet's cries became more and more.

"Violet, cry if it makes you feel better."

Violet hugged Kay tightly while Kay simply fell silent without returning Violet's embrace. Violet actually shed a lot of her tears in Kay's arms.

"Why not return my arms?" violet asked curiously.

"Violet, I don't want to make a mistake that could make you go back to being angry with me." Kay replied honestly.

"Did I do this to you including cheating?"

"Huh? Whatchu mean?"

"Stupid! Do I hug another man besides my lover can be said to be cheating?"

"I don't know Vi. Because I've never betrayed you a little bit from my heart until now."

"And it was I who betrayed you. I am the real traitor. I'm sorry." Violet immediately let go of her embrace.

Violet felt very insulted by Kay's words even though Kay's words were not to insinuate let alone insult her.

"Vi you're not like that. I believe you're not that kind of woman."

"How am I not the traitor? I love you but I accept another man as my lover, then I still love you and want to always be near you when I am the lover of another man?"

Kay speechless. Losing words to refute or uproot Violet.

"Go away. I want to be alone." said Violet weakly.

"But Vi,"

"I beg you."

"alright. Call me if you need me. If in the next few hours you don't call you then I'll be here. Calm yourself, you are the best Vi... Don't blame or feel inferior about yourself." Kay then left Violet who was still sitting.
