Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 633: Have I Met Them Before?

The coachman couldn't believe her words. He then proceeded to reaffirm, "M-My lady, are you sure that he is that powerful? I don't mean to disrespect, but destroying those two kingdoms would not be hard for me, in fact, I can erase the leaders of the surviving ones right now."

The silhouette inside the carriage didn't budge even replied in a calm manner. "Do you think you own the sky?"

"Ah?! I terribly apologize for offending you," the coachman quickly bowed his head even though he was in the driver's seat.

"No, it is alright, truth to the matter, I don't know if that young man could kill you or not, but one concerning thing has been bugging me ever since I detected his presence," said the fortune-teller. "Enough, this matter will be of my concern, bring me to Sverine Inn, I'm supposed to meet Wanda there."

"C-Certainly," the coachman nodded before pulling his reign.

The magnificent horse neighed before making its way on the road toward Sverine Inn. The lady inside was looking over the window with a solemn in her gaze. She noticed how the atmosphere significantly changed the moment the young man made his presence.

No kingdoms had lived and overcome eons. No matter how tall or how sturdy a tower was, it will fall and crumble one day. For it was the case with the Golden Dragon Kingdom and the Pala Kingdom respectively. Destruction was inevitable, it was only the question of when.

"I feel a little bit irritated," muttered the fortune-teller as her face turned a bit bitter. She took a glance at the sky above. It was teal blue and bright, unlike the state the city was in.

The simple yet expensive carriage made its way to the Sverine Inn. The place was of course less crowded since it was a private place still. No onlookers would dare to carelessly trespass this place for they knew who was sleeping in this inn.

Wanda was seen standing at the front of the inn to personally welcome the famous person. Cherie could be seen standing near her with her right hand on top of the other to form a fig-leaf gesture. It was the sign of humility and it came from the highest class of the Sverine Kingdom.

The coachman bowed as he arrived. The horse didn't neigh as the carriage's door faced directly against the queen of the Sverine Kingdom. Wanda was smiling beautifully but the king was nowhere in sight.

The coachman gets off from the driver's seat. He paid his respects to the queen which the latter and Cherie naturally bowed in respect as well.

The coachman nodded before he reached his hand toward the door handle. A click was heard before he slowly pulled open the carriage's door.

The white mist slowly crashed down against the red carpet below. One could see her ankle and determined the white snow complexion. She wore a bright glittering pink robe and a really thin bright pink scarf that continuously hovered by her bearing. She wore a bright pink veil that looked thin but it was enough to cover half of her facial features. Her eyes were deep galaxy black and her eyelashes were long and inviting coquettishly each time they waved down. A red velvet dot could be seen on her glabella and her long black hair that was waist-length slightly fluttered and glimmered with the shine from the natural sun. The beauty of this woman was ethereal.

She squinted her eyes as her eyebrows raised before she said, "Good morning, Wanda, it's nice to see you again."

Wanda and Cherie bowed respectively before the former smiled. "It is an honor to have you here once again, however, I do deeply must apologize for the state of the city currently in."

The fortune-teller shook her head, "Don't be, the city is not your responsibility to maintain, it is the neutral ground for the four kingdoms."

"Then at least, let us escort you to your room," said Queen Wanda with a smile on her face.

"Such courtesy is indeed pleasing," the fortune-teller smiled.

Cherie nodded with a smile, "Please, follow us."

The fortune-teller nodded before she raised her hand to gesture the coachman to leave without her. The latter nodded before bowing, "Please enjoy your rest, my lady."

The coachman immediately got on the driver's seat before taking the reign of the elegant carriage. He calmly drove off.

"Then shall we?" asked the fortune-teller with a smile that was covered by the veil.

Wanda nodded before she turned around and still kept her hands in front of her. 

The three of them walked down the hall as Cherie said, "We have prepared the best room for you to stay in, I'm pretty sure that you are tired with the loads and loads of exploring that you do. So we kept the theme of the room to be nature-lovely."

The fortune-teller smiled, "I appreciate the kind gesture."

One of the rooms of the hall was opened and a foot stepped on the hall. The figure coming out of the room was taller than normal humans but shorter than a pure-blooded giant. He had handsome features and his hair was ash gray. He had indifferent look on his face as he turned around to face the three of them.

Graham didn't spare a glance toward the three of them as he casually walked past them. 

Wanda and Cherie could only smile wryly before they turned around to watch Graham's back leaving the hall.

"Hm? Miss fortune-teller, are you alright?" asked Cherie.

"Huh?" the beautiful lady snapped back to reality as she was called. "O-Oh," she smiled. "I'm fine, thank you.'

Wanda smiled but she furrowed her eyebrows inwardly. She noticed the subtle changes, even the trembling hands that the fortune-teller herself failed to notice sooner. It was the first time in her life that she saw her losing composure. 

The lady fortune-teller smiled but inwardly, she knew her heart was thumping wildly. It was the first time she felt a cold crawling her spine to her nape in a single instant. There was no aura leaking from the way Graham walked past them, but one glance was enough for her to know, how deadly that person was. Never mind the coachman, she knew that he could tear the entire First Heaven in half.

(What a terrifying cultivator) thought the lady fortune-teller inwardly but she had regained her composure, though it was too late for Wanda.

"May I know, who is that man that walks past us?" said the lady fortune-teller with a smile on her face.

Wanda quickly answered before Cherie had a cross of thought. "He is one of our esteemed guests, miss fortune-teller."

"Oh? Can I be rude and asked for his name?" asked the lady fortune-teller.

"Ooh?" Cherie raised one of her eyebrows before she grinned.

"It's not like that," said the lady fortune-teller as she noticed what the little princess was implying.

"What piqued your interest, miss fortune-teller?" asked Wanda with a smile on her face.

"He is quite dangerous but calm, I wonder if he is a virtuous cultivator or a sinful one?" asked the fortune-teller with a light rhyme.

"Hmm, I can't say," said Wanda as she shook her name. "I'm sorry, but to give his name, I must ask his young master's permission."

"Hm?" The fortune-teller raised one of her eyebrows, "Young master?" (That dangerous cultivator is actually serving someone?).

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I piqued your interest even more?" Queen Wanda jested. "However, I will keep a hold on it, after all, you will meet the young master sooner or later."

The lady fortune-teller smiled wryly, "Now I wan-"

"Oh?" Kesya immediately run-up to the three of them but stopped right in front of the lady fortune-teller.

"En, En, En," Kesya nodded to herself.

"I-Is there I can help you with?" asked the lady fortune-teller as she smiled wryly.

"Nope," Kesya smiled before she walked away while whistling.

The lady took a harsh swallow. She turned around to see the Kesya leaving leisurely after looking at her up close. (What the hell) thought the lady fortune-teller. (Her back might be considerably smaller than the previous fellow, but… what is that sinister and brutal aura that is hidden under that leisure walk! Is she a walking bomb?!).

"Ah, I forgot to stock up the ingredients for young master," a muttered was heard before she felt another monster go past the three of them. She couldn't see the figure but she managed to catch the edge of his shadow.

(Are they the ones responsible for the destruction of the two kingdoms? But… why do I feel like I've seen them before… Was it from one of my previous readings…. ?!?!?!) her eyes widened in horror.
