The Date went on till midnight. Aditya and Julia visited many kinds of shops and casinos. Although Aditya did not manage to win any money there, they at least had fun which mattered the most. Also, the money he lost wasn't that big anyway.
After returning, before going to sleep, Aditya first ordered Watson to slowly withdraw the military from the coast. Although Laura was on his side, the elders of the Deep Sea palace would be alerted if all the troops of the Istarin Empire withdrew suddenly. Laura had strongly asked Aditya to keep their alliance a secret for now, till she became the next Empress. Otherwise, if the elders learned that the former Emperor's adopted daughter has went to the enemy Empire and joined hands, Laura would be hunted down and killed.
Just like Aditya ordered, Watson made plans to slowly withdrew the military. He started by ordering Aditya's 7 generals and some of the Wild Dragons to come back. While the seven generals were going to return to Azure city, the wild dragons were going back to Silver Meadow Grove.
The current Istarin Empire was lacking troops. So if they can withdraw some troops from the coast, it would be a huge help to Watson and Aditya.
"Good morning, everyone." After Aditya sat down, everyone started having their breakfast. At the breakfast table, there was Watson, Julia, Scott, Tyler, Nathan, Amber, Eleanor, Henry, Josh, Leo, and his little sister. All were having breakfast together. It has been more than two months since Aditya had breakfast with his generals. His generals were busy and were sent to the coast in case the Deep Sea palace decided to attack.
"Good Morning, Aditya."
"Good morning, big brother."
Aditya looked at Clara, Leo's little sister. The girl had blue hair like Leo and Aditya. Her deep blue pupils were filled with curiosity as she stared at the Emperor whom she called big brother. The fact that Clara called Aditya big brother told everyone the high position that she had in Aditya's heart.
"Clara, are you enjoying your school?"
"Yes. School is really fun. I have made many friends."
"If anyone dares to bully you, you can just ask this bad wolf to take care of it."
Aditya innocently looked at Julia and asked. "Why are you calling me wolf? I am a proud dragon."
"Hmph! You're a bad wolf. Even little Skye here is better cultured and well-behaved than you're." Julia rubbed her lips while glaring at Aditya. Last night this hooligan had taken advantage of her. He kissed her for a long time. Making her lips slightly swollen.
Woof!!!
Aditya's eyes twitched seeing the half-dragon wolf pup that he bought back home standing on his opposite side. 'It seems this little dragon has forgotten who is its' real master.'
Just after Aditya bought back the half-dragon wolf pup, the little creature's cuteness immediately melted the goddess's heart. Since that day, Julia has been taking care of Skye. One more thing that surprised Aditya is when he learned that Skye is actually a female.
Now after 2 and half months the half-dragon wolf pup had grown to a height of 1 meter. Thanks to all the pills that Julia regularly gave her, Skye's strength had reached Beginner 2nd-order. The half-dragon wolf roamed around the royal castle when Julia worked in her lab. The wolf often played with some of the maids or servants. It wolf was intelligent enough to understand what Aditya and others said.
"Julia, where is Paige?"
"Sister Paige is that she is not hungry. She is currently in her bedroom cultivating."
"Unlike a certain person, at least sister Paige is cultivating." When he said those words, he looked at Watson. But everyone knew that Aditya's words were meant for Julia. The goddess was lazy when it came to cultivating.
"This princess long would have reached 5th-order if I had not worked under a certain young master for 2 years."
Cough! Cough!!!!
"Big sister, who was that young master that you're talking about?" 13 years old Clara innocently asked.
"It was a bad man. That man regularly bullied me and Watson." Julia replied with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Big sister, where is that man now? I will ask big brother to punish him."
cough!!!!....Cough!!!
"Hehe!!! Don't worry I am going to slowly take my revenge on this man later in the future. I will make him suffer. After all....." Julia glanced in Aditya's direction with an evil smirk. "He cannot escape from me."
Seeing Julia look at Aditya, Clara misunderstood thinking that Aditya also knew the man that Julia was talking about. "Big brother, you will have to beat that man so that he can never bully big sister."
"Ri....Right." Aditya lowered his head and started eating. Meanwhile, Watson and others were barely holding their laughter. Their bodies were shaking. If Aditya wasn't there, they already would have started laughing.
"Aditya, let's go to Westnia right now." Everyone stopped eating after hearing the voice. The Dragon Monarch raised his head and glanced at the beautiful goddess who was walking toward him.
"Now? I thought we were going there after 2 more days." Aditya asked with a confused look.
"My mother's little sister, my aunt was pregnant. Last night, she gave birth to a healthy child. My parents are urging me to return as soon as possible. Of course, they had asked me to bring you as well." The usually calm and reserved Alicia, at this moment, looked very excited and energetic.
"This....." Aditya was in a little difficult situation. Here he was planning on taking these two days a little easy by spending most of his time with Julia but now he has to go to Westnia. Not only that, he had tons of work waiting to be finished. Aditya wanted to reject but remembering that he had made a promise to her, he did not bring himself to reject her.
"Watson, I am sorry but I will need you to look after Empire while I am away." Aditya has been making his poor butler work day and night. Aditya isn't even sure if Watson even gets a full 8 hours of sleep these days.
"Don't worry your Majesty. I will take care of everything."
Alicia seems to understand Aditya's problems. "I will leave my maid here. If Watson has anything urgent that needs Aditya's attention, then he can just send my maid to Westnia."
"I guess that will work." Aditya took up without even finishing his food. He had lost his appetite to eat.
"I will get ready." Aditya soon disappeared from the living room. Meanwhile, one of the maids served a cup of tea to Alicia. Alicia sat next to Julia, on Aditya's chair and started enjoying her tea.
"Skye, come here."
Woof!
The half-dragon wolf excitedly walked up to Alicia. "Good girl." Alicia rubbed Skye's head with her left hand.
Aditya changed his clothes and wore a white shirt and black suit. Walking back to the living room, he found Julia and Alicia chatting while sitting on the couch. It looked like Leo had gone to send his little sister home while his seven generals had gone back to the training camp to continue training their troops.
"Are you done?" Following Julia, Alicia also raised her head and looked at Aditya. For a second, the goddess felt dazed looking at the man who was going to pretend to be her fake boyfriend. For some reason at that moment, her heartbeat sped up. Alicia couldn't take her eyes off Aditya. He looked very handsome in this black suit.
"Let's go." Alicia snapped out of her daze. She realized what she was doing. Right now if the goddess had not covered her face with a veil, then Aditya and Julia would have seen faint red cheeks. Unfortunately, no one was able to see her face which definitely would have even charmed heaven.
"We will leave using the teleportation array that is located in my mansion."
"Alright. Please take care of yourselves. Aditya, be sure to behave and keep your perverted and shameless nature hidden." Aditya rolled his eyes at Julia. Was it really necessary to say such words in front of Alicia?
"You also be sure to take care of yourself. Don't work too hard. Be sure to have your meals at the right time." Julia nodded with a smile. This smile slowly vanished as she watched Aditya and Alicia leave. It hasn't been even a second since Aditya walked out, she was already starting to miss him.
"It looks like I will just have to keep my mind distracted till Aditya returns." Julia was already eagerly waiting for the day when Aditya will finally return.
"Before we head let me tell you some things which you should keep in your mind." Aditya nodded his head while walking out of the royal palace.
"First of all, if anyone asks how long we have been dating, then say that we have secretly liked each other for 2 years before you took the initiative to confess your love to me. We have been dating for more than 5 months."
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
