Chapter 563 563:- Greeted by a Surprise kiss
It was the day that Aditya and Riya were going back to the Istarin Empire. Their stay at The Celestial Terrain Empire has been very exciting. However, all exciting times must come to an end, and As the Emperor of the Istarin Empire, Aditya must head back to the Istarin Empire as there were some important things waiting for his attention. Just within 12 days of the execution of Seraphine and the council of Elders, things were already looking great. Everything around the Empire was going in the right direction and Amelia was very satisfied with the progression of everything. After their last night's talk, Amelia now looked really happy and fulfilled. She was once again back to her normal usual self. She was full of positive energy and a motherly Aura. Amelia had positively changed. After finishing breakfast, the trio sat on the couches for an important discussion. Amelia sitting opposite Riya and Aditya. "Aditya, I really can't thank you enough for all the help that you have given me. And I also apologize for being such a bad host. I am sorry that you had to work." Aditya had helped Amelia out with a lot of matters. Without him, it would have taken her at least two more months to completely sort everything out. Aditya was really fast with his work. He had sorted everything out which immensely helped her. "What are you saying, Auntie? I consider you as my family. It's normal for family members to help each other out." Although on the surface there was nothing wrong with his words Amelia felt that his words held a deeper meaning to them. She almost wanted to ask what he meant by Family. Because the way he said his words kind of sounded wrong. Or maybe it was just that she was reading too much into it. "Aditya, I am giving my daughter to you. Please promise me that you will take care of my daughter. Promise me that you will never hurt her or make her cry." While saying these words, Amelia became a little bit emotional for some reason. "I promise." Aditya seriously nodded his head. "If I ever heard that you have made my daughter cry, then I will personally make sure to dispose of your body." Amelia threatened him with a smile on her face. Aditya had goosebumps all over his body hearing her words. But her smile was anything but gentle. To others, it might look like a gentle smile but to Aditya, it was the smile of the Demon empress. "Please do not worry about anything," Aditya assured her. So for the rest of the day, Amelia personally showed Aditya and Riya around the Capital. She took them to various historical places and told them about various important events that took place under her long reign as the Empress. At the time of sunset, it was time to head back home. Amelia was very reluctant to partner with her daughter. "Aunty, you're not coming with us?" Aditya was one hundred percent sure that she would come with them and was going to start living at the Dragon Palace. Amelia shook her head with a small smile. "There are still many important things that I need to do before I can come and start living with you." Hearing this Aditya was very surprised but then he quickly understood the reason behind her decision. Aditya was expecting Riya to convince her mother to start living with them. He was completely sure that she would come along but it seems he had overlooked a few things. 'I guess this is one of those times in life when things do not go according to the plan.' Aditya thought in his mind. "But why not mom?" Riya asked her mother. Amelia gently patted Riya's hair with a smile and she explained. "Tomorrow morning, I am going to make a trip to the Main continent." Hearing this Riya and Aditya looked at each other as both of them understood the reason behind this trip. A small sad smile appeared on her face as Amelia looked in the distance. "Yeah, I am personally going there to tell her the truth and explain what happened. Even if she has long retired and to the ears of the whole world she is considered dead, as a mother and as the former Empress she deserves to know what happened."
"Besides, It has been a while since I have seen her." Amelia wanted to see her mother and spend some time with her. Amelia had planned a discuss a ton of things regarding the future development of the Empire with her mother. In Amelia's eyes, her mother was much more wiser than her. So she was planning on asking for her advice. "Once I return back to the Empire, I am going to be busy with work." Talking with Aditya had given her many new ideas. She wants to implement these new ideas in her empire after discussing them with her mother. "Then let me come with you? I also have been wanting to see Grandma for a while now." The last time Riya saw her grandma was when she was a young child. Since then, she never has stepped foot on the Main Continent. Riya was thinking of staying with her Grandma for a day or two before returning to the Dragon Palace. "You can visit her later. Now now." In reality, Amelia was still very scared of her mother. She was scared of how she was going to break the news of Seraphine and Thalos's death to her. Aside from what Seraphine and Thalos had done, they were still their blood. The question was how a mother was going to react knowing the death of her daughter and her grandson. She was also scared of the reaction that her mother would have once she revealed about Riya's engagement.
Even though it was most likely that the first Elven Empress wouldn't oppose the engagement Amelia was nervous because she took such an important decision without informing her first. And besides, even though she had retired a long time ago, she still held too much authority and power in her hand. She was called the First Empress for a reason after all. "Don't worry, I will come to live with you very soon." She then looked at Aditya and said. "I am doing this to make sure that you don't mistreat my daughter. You're going to be under my observation." That was obviously a small part of the reason why she would be coming to live with Riya Aditya and others. "Yes.....!!!" Hearing this Aditya just nodded his head with a strained smile. For some reason, he felt that this woman's arrival at the Dragon Palace was going to bring him a lot of restrictions. Aditya and Riya stepped into the teleportation array. A few seconds later, with the bright glow from the array, both of them had vanished. As soon as they were gone, Amelia felt empty. For the first time, she lacked the shoulder to rely upon. No matter what kind of person Seraphine was, when Amelia was lonely, Seraphine was always there for her. Even if she was always with Amelia for her personal reasons.
Now Amelia felt completely alone. Just thinking about living alone like this scared her a lot more than she had initially imagined. "I guess, I will just to have hurry up and finish everything so that I can live with my daughter as soon as possible." -
Scene change_____
Meanwhile,
As soon as Aditya and Riya returned to the Dragon palace, Aditya felt a huge boost in his powers. He felt an almost endless amount of power was returning into his body. He felt invincible. This was due to the fact that Aditya had returned to his territory. He had returned to the Dragon Palace which was his base. Inside the Dragon Palace, Aditya's base stats would be increased by 150% which would more than double his powers. Not only that but also being at the Dragon Palace increased his mana recovery speed, healing speed, and cultivation speed will be boosted by 300%. And the Mana inside the Dragon palace is many times denser than the outside world. Even Riya felt very comfortable staying inside the Dragon Palace. Riya saw Aditya and found him taking a deep breath with his arms spread. "It feels nice to return home after 14 weeks." Aditya took Riya's hand and teleported to the living room. As soon as they teleported to the living room, Aditya was pushed down on the couch by a figure. Before he realized it, his lips were taken by her. He just went with the flow and wrapped his arms around her soft body. Mmm....!!
Both of them continued to kiss for a long time until she ran out of breath. "I missed you." Julia said while panting. She was sitting on his crotch and her chest was pressed against his chest. Both of their foreheads were touching. "I missed you more," Aditya said with a smile before kissing both of her cheeks and her forehead. "Julia, if you're done then please get up. You can continue this later." Sitting on the opposite couch, Alicia said calmly while reading a book. Alicia was reading a book about financials while having a cup of tea. Hearing Alicia's words, Julia looked around the living room only to realize that the whole family was in the living room. And everyone was staring at her. This instantly made her embarrassed. Despite being intimate with Aditya in their bedroom almost every single day, Julia still wasn't used to publically showing her affection for Aditya. This made her very embarrassed.
After all, Aditya's wife was very shy.
"Wow, Julia, I never knew that you were so bold." Lilith's words only increased her embarrassment. Julia hid her face with her palms and buried her face on his chest. Right now she wished to dig a hole and hide her face from everyone. 'How am I going to face everyone? They are going to kill me with their teasing.' Julia thought in her head. Aditya just smiled and patted the back of her head. He was happy to see that his family had been doing well in his absence. Alicia was a little bit jealous since Julia had taken the lead. And she was too embarrassed to hug him in front of him, everyone. Especially since there was Aria, Spencer, Leo, and Clara present. She just focused on reading. However, suddenly her chin was raised. Aditya took her lips. Chu!!!
Their kiss was around 10 seconds long. After that Aditya kissed both of her cheeks and her forehead. "I missed you." Seeing this Spencer had to admit that his Majesty had a thick skin. If he had to kiss all of his wives in front of the whole Family then he would feel very embarrassed and would not choose to do it. And fortunately he only had one wife and did not planned to have any other wives beside his lover Aria. But Aditya was different. He ignored everyone's gazes and kissed all of his fiances. He was bold with his actions. Aditya always meant to be fair. If he was going to kill Julia in front of everyone, then he was going to do it with all of his other fiances. He wasn't going to be biased and give most of his attention to just one girl. ----------------
