Tanya?!
I was stunned to see Tanya. There was dirt on Tanyas small face; her cloak was stained with mud from her long journey. Her calves also were mud-laden on them. However, she looked expressionless as per usual. Tone serious, she reported, Your Majesty, I apologise for disturbing your sleep at night, but this is a letter from Troy City. Consort Ling Yue personally wrote it and had rush it to you.
Ling Yue? Shes at Troy City? I then realised sothing. I grabbed Tanya with one hand and asked, What about Liu Yue?! What about my daughter?! Wheres my daughter?!
Princess Liu Yue is also currently at Troy City, but they are still safe, Your Majesty. Nonetheless, I please hurry and read Consort Ling Yues letter. She said that the letter is very important.
I couldnt possibly be convinced that Ling Yue and Liu Yue were safe at Troy City. I didnt know why the two of them went to Troy City. They practically turned themselves into hostages for the new church to threaten with. Whatever the letter said, I had to hurry and write back to them to tell them to hurry back to the North. I had to lead the army there right away. Was I supposed to blow up a city with my wife and daughter in it?!
I opened the envelope. Honestly, the envelope was quite strange. There was no heat stamp or anything to seal it. Because Tanya kept it in her shirt the entire ti, her warmth still lingered on it. If I was my past itself, Id definitely be full of interest for the envelope that had the warmth of a loli on it, but I had no ti to be embarrassed about her warmth. My daughter was a tad cuter than Tanya, after all.
I opened the letter. It was written in a hasty manner. Ling Yues usual elegant handwriting looked ssy. In fact, there were so words I had to really scrutinise to make out, but I could understand what Ling Yue was saying. She made one thing clear: the seal I left at Troy City had, in fact, been stolen. I never imagined the people at Troy City would dare to pinch my stuff. The people there shouldve respected and loved , yet they dared to pinch my stuff.
I thought, So, the people in the palace no longer trust and are no longer loyal to ? Troy City can be destroyed now. Nobody respects . The city that was loyal to dared to use my na without permission, so theyre all at guilty. Nobody in my palace is innocent. All of them shall pay for their betrayal!
Having confird that soone stole my seal, I could punish them all without any guilt.
I put the letter away: Tanya, head back imdiately. Tell Ling Yue and Liu Yue to imdiately leave the city. Its extrely dangerous at Troy City at the mont. Its no longer under my control. I dont know if it was Freya who had Ling Yue go there or not, but thats a very wrong order. Tanya, head back now, and pass on my order. Oh, right, I
I anxiously searched around . Seeing as it was a verbal command, I needed sothing to prove that it ca from . I was dressed in my sleepwear, however. Nothing precious to was on . Nier, who was standing to the side, looked down at herself and tore her stockings. Then, she removed it and handed it to Tanya. Tanya reacted with a shocked expression. Nier smiled: A consorts silk stockings. Nobody besides the King would have it. Tanya, take it back with you. Dont think poorly of it.
I will not. Tanya stuffed it into her breast pocket. She then looked at and said, I understand. I shall get going, then, Your Majesty.
I do want to let you have a good sleep before sending you off. Unfortunately, I dont have ti to let you sleep. Im sorry, Tanya. Head back imdiately. Ling Yue and Liu Yue are in danger. You must keep them safe. Take them back to the North even if they refuse; use force if you must, understood? Ill give you a vacation afterwards so that you can havev a good rest.
Yes, Your Majesty. Before I go, though, I want to make clear what it is that I want for my reward. Your Majesty, if it is possible, I wish to have an afternoon nap on your lap underneath the bright sun.
No problem.
I glanced at Nier. She gave a nod. Nier wasnt jealous. Perhaps she saw Tanya as a kid as Daisy was. Nier wouldnt complain if Daisy wanted to have an afternoon nap on my thigh. After I agreed to Tanyas request, she revealed a warm smile. It was adorable, but it instantly vanished.
Tanya bowed and then swiftly left the room. After dallying for a mont, I ran out after her and shouted, Tanya, ride the White Deer King back. She doesnt have a nice temperant, but she follows my commands. Nier gave you her stuff with her scent on it, so itll co in useful.
I was curious as to how the White Deer King would react if Tanya went to the White Deer King with Niers stocking. Plus, shed be waking up the White Deer King while the latter was sleeping.
========
Horse stables.
White Deer King, White Deer King I need your help. His Majestys order, His majestys order.
The White Deer King irritably stood up. Sowhat afraid, Tanya took a small step back and held up the stocking from Nier. The stocking didnt have just Niers scent alone; it also had Troys scent on it. The White Deer King had a sniff. She grouchily whacked the stocking away. She fud through its nose and took a few steps back. Tanya, apparently, imdiately understood what the White Deer King was expressing.
Dont bring that womans stuff to ! was what Tanya read.
Why does it seem to be jealous all of a sudden? wondered Tanya.
Tanya picked up the important stocking. It was then that she suddenly realised Ling Yue would also react jealously if she gave it to her. It was useful, true, but it was too much of a hassle to explain its origins.
The White Deer King exited the stables. She lied down for Tanya. Although the sight of the stocking frustrated her, the White Deer King had to obey Troys command. After all, she was his most trusted steed and friend, a fact that held true in the past, present and would still hold true in the future.
