CHAPTER 184: Is There A Problem?

"Saphira."

Saphira sighed hearing his stern voice.

"Well, the times where I would fall ill and was too weak... I was trying it out..."

She chuckled but instantly pursed her lips when Hunter's face darkened.

She always say that it was the side effect of Phoenix dying and that it will surely get better.

Who would have thought that she was actually doing it on purpose.

"How many times must I remind you not to go overboard?" he asked her.

"I was... trying out things... well... you know lesser... lesser infected lands would have lesser... demonic beasts?"

Hunter sighed heavily, "You know it wouldn't be as infuriating as it is now if you have told us in the first place that you are doing it on purpose."

Saphira chose to stay quiet.

"You realized that we were worried every single time we would find you looking pale and close to collapsing. It would have felt better if we were there watching you instead of you going all alone while we were clueless if you have collapsed somewhere."

"I'm sorry..." was all she could say.

Since she was keeping it as a secret, she could only lie to them.

"Do you have more secrets we need to know?" Hunter asked her seriously.

Saphira smiled in a defeated manner, there are...

Secrets she didn't want them to know at all.

As compared to what they already know the secrets remaining are too much that even she just wanted to forget.

All six sighed, Felix looked at them and understood that her smile meant she has indeed more.

"Fine, it seems you didn't want those remaining secrets to be revealed at all. But you do know there are circumstances regarding big secrets," Hunter reminded her.

Saphira laughed lightly, "You really are just like the Emperor, you both say the same thing."

Not wanting to keep the heavy atmosphere, Stormie raised her hand.

"I remember before you were placed in a cocoon that you were saying something with a laugh even though we were in a serious discussion.."

With her reminder, everyone nodded their heads.

That was indeed the case, she did say something but was interrupted.

"Oh..."

Saphira laughed again before looking at Zian.

He furrowed his brows.

"I was simply going to say that we could have been siblings."

Pin drop silence followed after her comment.

"Huh?!?!" Zian was the most shock after all.

Saphira laughed, "Well, the one who rejected your father the scumbag was actually my mother the then, Carmilla Blackbourne."

"AH!!!" Nixon was the fastest to react.

"I do remember my mother speaking about an incident in the past about a playboy and the flower of the whole Empire."

The others looked at him this time with furrowed brows.

"You really love gossips, don't you?" Stormie instantly remarked.

Nixon's face turned red, "I didn't wish to hear it as well. It was because all the mothers came and spent time at home just as I returned I heard them laughing and speaking about that. They were speakinga bout it and the subject was Saphira's mother."

"Hmmm, I heard that Archie Fiamma was indeed known to be one of the greatest playboy in their generation. But because I couldn't see such a character on him during these days, I thought it was not true at all," Ridge spoke.

Saphira laughed, "He was indeed the greatest playboy back then. Ladies in each arm every single time he was back in the imperial city."

The six turned agape at this.

Archie Fiamma looked like he was the most righteous person they have seen between the fathers.

Felix and Ridge were confused.

Seeing this, Saphira nudged at Hunter.

He sighed before bringing out the orb for communication.

"What is it? Is it important? We are in a discussion right now-"

They heard giggles together with Reginald's voice.

"Discussion?" Hunter remarked.

"Tha- That's not... That's not it," Reginald stuttered.

"Oh is that my son?" they heard another voice.

"Is my daughter there?" and another.

"Mom?" Saphira called recognizing the voice.

"Oh hi dear!!" Carmilla's voice were joyful upon hearing her daughter's voice.

"Is dad with you?" Saphira asked.

"Why? Is there a problem?" anxiousness could be heard when another man's voice was heard.

"Oh just in time, let's do it in a video, we would like to introduce some people," Saphira clapped her hands.

With that the call ended and another came.

After answering it, all eight of them could see four people on the other side.

"Hi there darlings," Felissa smiled and waved her hand at them.

"Your majesty," they greeted.

Felix and Zian could only follow.

They didn't expect that a casual talk would allow them to actually half meet the emperor and empress of the biggest empire.

"Y- Your majesty," they bowed at the same time.

"Calm down, you are young but you are already an emperor yourself. You can't be bowing down so easily to others, lest your empire will be looked down upon," Reginald reminded Zian.

They have heard everything that happened except for what had happened on this day.

Zian stood straight, he indeed forgot about his position.

His face turned red.

"You have the orb with you, am I right your majesty?" Reginald asked.

"Y- Yes your majesty," Zian replied albeit stiffly.

He was being called majesty by the emperor of the biggest empire.

Even his father didn't receive this kind of attention before.

He knows because he looked up to Reginald.

"Then allow me to extend my help. If you are stuck to something, give me a call. If I am not busy and I can answer, I will guide you."

Zian's eyes went wide.

He was looking at the image of the emperor in shock.

Reginald smiled, "This is for giving my children such a wonderful accomodation."

He heard that every whim of theirs were given by Zian, most of the time he would even add more to it.

"I... I..."

Zian was lost for words, they had saved his empire.

Of course he would give them the best things that he can.
