The entire city was in chaos, but I couldn't help but enjoy the spectacle. They had never expected someone like me to show up uninvited, yet here I was, walking through their streets as if I owned the place. I didn't need an invitation to be here; if anyone wasn't willing to welcome me with open arms, they'd regret it for the rest of their miserable lives.
"Move faster," I said, my voice cold as I glared at the guard in front of me. He was deliberately leading me on a winding path through the city, probably trying to buy some time, maybe even alerting Khalid before my arrival. I knew, though, that Khalid had already felt my presence the moment I entered. His aura had scanned me from afar, a reluctant acknowledgment of the power I exuded. But oddly, it didn't dare approach me. Why? Was the second-ranked emperor intimidated by my aura?
I couldn't help but smirk. He wanted me as his wife, and now he was hiding from me. It spoke volumes about his character.
