The first meeting

"Your Majesty-". Before the guard could finish his sentence, the tiger was already lying on the floor with its jaw wide open as if ready to bite its prey. The poisoned arrow was released pointing, right before it could attack at its neck and blood was oozing out staining the ground red. A second of delay and the person on the floor could have been reversed. The guard who spoke was still trying to process his thoughts. "Warrior Red, do you doubt His Majesty's skill?" asked the man in black, who was dressed in similar fashion with the man in red called 'Warrior Red". "Of course not! I was just worried about His Majesty-", "One more word and i will seal all of your mouths forever", "Please forgive us Your Majesty", "Your humble servant was just worried about you" the black and red men kneeled down and said hurriedly.

"Continue with the journey" said the chivalrous man who just killed that tiger, "As you wish, Your Majesty". Riding on the horse that has the same aura as him, he led the whole troop towards his journey. Following him were the two warrior guards called 'Warrior Red' and 'Warrior Black' who were quitely exchanging meaningful glances with each other about the incident a while ago. A voice suddenly spoke out, "You both quitely look at the surrounding to avoid neccesary troubles else i will throw you into the forest to be fed to wild animals", "Yes, Your Majesty". Without being informed twice, the warrior guards began with their duty, observing everything on their journey. The smooth journey was very quite except the tapping of horses feet, so they put extra attention incase something happens on the way.

So far the journey doesn't seems to be suspicious. "Your Majesty, there seems to be a source of fire there near the lake, maybe someone is cooking. With a deep manly voice, "My soldiers, let's head towards the lake" said the man with armour and a sword at his waist, the Emperor that they call. Approaching the water source, they could hear the sound of instruments playing and women singing. "My, my, so many beautiful women together, Warrior Red don't you think you should look for a partner already", "Shut up! I am only 26 not too old", "Atleast you are older than me by one year, don't you see his majesty is also 26 but he married when he was 21 and after three years, elder queen gave birth to a prince-", before he could end the sentence because of a warning glare by certain someone who could pierce through your body with his intense glare. "Forgive me, Your Majesty". "Woah the woman dancing in the centre seems to be the most beautiful, her dress looks rather luxurious than others", "She looks rather young maybe just turned a woman", "A beauty like that should only belong to his majesty", "Yes, only His Majesty can have her". Realising their mistake they looked at each other with wide eye balls. Strange. His Majesty doesn't seem bothered by their comment. Following his gaze, they saw his majesty was actually watching the beautiful woman whose smile could capture anyone's heart at once. But was it applicable to their cold and emotionless emperor?

The beautiful scenery of mountains and beautiful pine trees behind the lake complimented the woman perfectly but their beauty still lacked in comparison to her. Such an alluring woman she was. "Your Highness, it's time for lunch!". Highness?! So the woman was a princess. Interesting. "Speaking of which, her features and figure looks like the queen of the State of Malani, oh, and she actually looks a bit like the king himself isn't it?" said Warrior Black, "We actually heard he had a daughter whom he hid very well, there were rumors which said she was either very ugly that the king hid her out of shame or very beautiful so the king was afraid of uwanted suitors", "But truly, His Majesty is the best suitor of all". The Emperor looked at Warrior Black. Oh shit! did i offend him. But his majesty just smirked slightly and turned a blind eye to him. "We won't delay any further, let's continue with the journey, I don't want to owe an explanation to the King of Malani."
