Emperor's Reckoning

Porealus looked at his surroundings with his eyes stared in disbelief. Inside his gaze was nothing but fluffy roads of white clouds that stretched to the horizon. His trembling hands slowly turned into a fist as he grinned. (T-Those heavens cocky bastards are going to get it now! It is time for the Mortal World to shine! Nobody can stop us now! Not with this monster on our side!).

"This is... madness," muttered one of the swordsmen that were tasked to protect their young master.

"What in the... world," said one of the swordswomen.

Zet walked to the edge of the giant pillar with clear steps. His red hair fluttered as he stood at the edge. He looked down and saw nothing but white clouds. The roaring onlookers couldn't be heard either. It was a peaceful place to be.

Yunesia could only shake her head with a smile on her face. She knew something extraordinary would happen but this was beyond that word.

"I think you just cemented a record here," commented Yunesia. Her heart was still trembling from the excitement. She could have never thought that he would reach this far. 

"This will be talked over and over for generations to come!" said Zet before he turned around. "You're amazing big brother!"

"Haha! You think so? That's what I think so too," laughed Lyon. He didn't even try to act humble and bask in the glory of praises. 

"Good work, emperor," said Assid who suddenly appeared right beside him. "Now is the perfect time for a picnic."

"Heh? What? A picnic?" asked Lyon before Assid carefully prepared a huge napkin that was half the size of the entire plateau.

Lyon was surprised but Assid didn't stop there. 

He threw clean plates in one single swing before they landed perfectly on the huge fabric. He pulled out a basket from his spatial ring. The dishes flourished their aroma with the aid from the gale in that altitude. The inviting bite was surreal as Lyon had his mouth made a slight drool.

Yet, there were more. From the basket out a bottle. Then another and another. There were seven bottles. He pulled out citrus fruits, salt, sugar, and even a shaker. He pulled out beautiful nosing glasses before placed them carefully right in front of him. He slightly pushed up his glasses with a finger before his nimble fingers started to move.

(You mean to tell me... that my general is a mobile bartender?!) thought Lyon as he shook his head with a set of claps. He was proud of himself for obtaining such character under his wings. He may not know what he did to him but he sure was glad to have him on his side. Otherwise, he would be filled with jealousy if such a man were to serve another.

The others were captivated by his nimbleness and craft but Assid paid no mind. He continued his craft.

The dishes were inviting and Cecile proudly took a seat beside Lyon like its natural. Of course, the flare of the dragon was emitted but in silence. Lumina took the other side and sat there.

The young man was sitting between two kingdom-toppling beauties. If there were any standard to a beautiful woman these two had left it behind to the dirt. 

Graham took a sit in front of an empty plate. He looked at the entire set and noticed that it was the perfect number for each of them, including the others. 

Porealus was drooling from the scent and aroma of the food not to mention the drinks that Assid was preparing. 

"What are you guys doing? It's a picnic, come join us!" said Cecile merrily.

Ivy furrowed her eyebrows. She had never seen Cecile acting like this. She was famed for his cold demeanor and indifference bearing. The heart of the empress resided in her soul but the Cecile she was seeing now was far from it. 

Meanwhile, Porealus strode forward before sitting with his legs crossed. The infamous monster had invited him for a picnic, refusing him would be foolish. "Thank you, big sister!" he slightly bowed.

Cecile burst a laugh, "Your attitude certainly changes quickly, was it not a moment ago that you call me empress."

"Hahaha!" Porealus Arunga laughed. "If I call big brother Lyon, big brother, wouldn't it be weird if I call you by your title?"

Cecile shook her head before letting out a smile.

"Uwah," Zet was already sitting before pointing out against a roasted duck. The skin was cooked to a glimmering crisp perfection. The tender glossy meat under it was waiting to dance on their taste buds. "Big brother, can I eat that?"

"What? Of course, you can hahaha!" laughed Lyon before he took a fork and just plunged it in against the meat. Lyon lifted it up and the steam coming out of it was mesmerizing. He blew on it before he leaned to his left.

The jade-haired beauty was slightly surprised to see the meat right in front of her very eyes. She dumbly averted her gaze toward Lyon who was smiling at him. "Hm," she slightly narrowed her eyes as her cheeks turned a shade of red hue. The jade-haired beauty closed her eyes before opening her mouth.

Lyon looked at that fanged tooth of hers with a smile but his eyes suddenly shifted from being a gentleman to his dark nature. He put aside the fork while instead pulling her with his other hand and planted his lips against hers. 

Lumina's eyes snapped open. That silver straight vertical pupils of her captured his entire face. Her red face only turned even more dense than before. The spontaneous kiss not only caught her off guard but also the rest of them. The dragon was tamed by a kiss. She had been too silent lately but she didn't exactly prepare for this kind of development from her lover. 

Daring was an understatement since the one sitting at the other side of his could literally rip his heart out.
