Freedom

"What are those?" Sunny asked, pointing at the devices in her hand.

"You said you want to see the world, be free, right?" Matilda asked, switching on the two devices.

Sunny nodded his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Oh... This is for your freedom."

Matilda walked towards him and raised the eye scanner to his eyes, and scanned his irises.

Sunny stood silently, as she finished her action. She placed down the scanner with a please smile, and tapped the phone-like device on her palm.

"Say your name." She said, looking up at Sunny.

"My name?" Sunny asked in mild confusion, even pointing to his nose.

"Yes." Matilda nodded with a smile.

"I don't know my name." Sunny revealed with a crestfallen expression.

".....?"

Matilda blinked for a couple of seconds, and said: "Your name is Sunny Draco... Now repeat after me."

Sunny nodded in understanding.

Matilda smiled, and opened her mouth:

"Say this; 'I, Sunny Draco. The Emperor of star empire transfers ownership to Matilda Draco... My one and lovely wife.'." she urged him with a nod, pressing the button.

"Uhh... Can you please say it again, I forgot." Sunny said with a sheepish smile.

"...?!"

Matilda raised an eyebrow, but still repeated her words:

Sunny nodded and started:

"I, Sunny Draco... Wait, what type of name is Draco?" He asked with a frown.

"You!! Just say what I asked you to!" She yelled at him in frustration.

"Why are you yelling at me? I was just asking a question." Sunny said, moving backward in fear.

'This fool!!' Matilda spat inwardly, but took a deep breath:

'Calm down... I just need him to say these words, and everything will be mine... I can handle this small obstacle.' She thought, and smiled brightly:

"I am so sorry for yelling at you... You want freedom, right?"

Sunny nodded his head:

"Then say this words, and you will have it... You will be free like a bird." She said.

Sunny smiled, his mind visualizing her words... Then nodded afterward.

"I will say it!" He said with determination.

"Superb! Now repeat these words."

[Ten minutes later.]

Matilda sat on the bed, her face black... She stared at Sunny who stood foolishly before her.

'Twenty times! Twenty fucking times... And this fool can't even repeat my words!!!!' She screamed inwardly.

'You think I will let you go that easily?' Sunny thought with a smirk.

BAM!

Matilda stood up, and walked towards him, her face cold.

"Husband..."

The way she called him, made Sunny shiver in fear.

"You won't be lying to me right? I don't like these games." She said, although her voice was soft, there wasn't a drop of warmth in them.

'I Should stop pretending and just say it, or she will kill me.' He thought, but said.

"The reason I can't remember the words is that my mind is elsewhere." He said.

"Elsewhere?" Matilda raised an eyebrow. "What are you thinking?" She asked.

"How can I leave this castle? I am scared to face those guards." He said.

"Oh..."

Matilda was genuinely surprised by his words... She thought for some seconds and snapped her fingers.

Sunny watched as a crystal appeared in front of him, hovering between the two.

"This here is a teleportation crystal... It can take you anywhere far from this place, I will give it to you if you repeat my word."

Sunny's eyes brightened, and he quickly nodded his head.

"Ok... Now repeat my word." Matilda went onwards, and repeated her word... This time, Sunny completed it, making sure to stammer in some.

'I might not be rich on earth, but I have a superb acting skill.' He thought.

[Received... The transfer of the star empire will be completed in 24 hours.]

A robotic voice sounded from the device... Matilda smiled, staring at the device:

'I can kill him right now, but... Won't it be fun to watch him get tore into pieces?' She smiled and handed him the teleportation crystal.

"You just need to tap on it."

She instructed.

Sunny took the crystal, and his cosmic brain, aka... the system, brought out the information.

{Name: Low level Direct Teleportation crystal.}

{Detail: Can teleport 100 people to a specific location.}

'She must already mark the place I will teleport to... I mustn't show any signs of suspicion... Anywhere I land, I will find a way to survive.' Sunny thought and smile gratefully at her:

"Thank you so much, Miss... I will remember this kindness."

He tapped the crystal without hesitation, and vanished the next moment.

CRACK...

Matilda turned to Joshua, who walked out from a room, shirtless.

"I can't believe he lost his memories." He said, and added:

"What if he is pretending?"

"Even if he is pretending, we got the star empire... And we are now the leaders." She said with a smirk.

"Come on... Let's go watch the show." She said, walking towards the door.

____

[Thousands of miles from Star empire.]

[Unknown coordinates.]

Sunny appeared on a blackened soil, and moved his gaze around, seeing nothing but treeline.

"She transported me to a forest?" He muttered in mild confusion.

The lion turned to face him, its eyes filled with questions.

"Ok. Ok… You want to know why I gave her the empire?" He asked.

While the Lion (system) nodded.

"You see... My wife, aka... Matilda and my best friend, who is also the commander, aka... Joshua, are in cohort." He said with an air of wisdom.

"These two are after my head, and they surely have allies all over the empire... Their main goal is the empire, and they will do anything to get it, even going to the extent of killing me, who is the main obstacle in their plan... Staying there will make me their target, and I will not survive if they decide to attack." He sighed.

"I might be the king, but those two have all the powers, even the military is in their tight grip... Do you understand?"

{Master have me, so why didn't you buy all the military and even the nobles?}

The system asked.

'Those guys will agree but when someone stronger than me appear, they will switch side like dogs, looking for a bitch to fuck...' He sighed softly:

"Everything isn't about money... I need to get stronger."

He muttered in a low voice.

[Star empire... Control room.]

Matilda and Joshua entered the control room, filled with Hugh tech computers and operators.

"Everyone, get out."

Matilda ordered the moment she entered.

The men and woman looked at one another in confusion, but seeing Joshua nod, they all removed the headphones on their heads, placed it on the desks before them, and silently walked out one at a time.

Matilda waited for the last guy to leave, before closing the door, making sure to lock it.

"What are you up to?" Joshua asked in mild confusion, moving his gaze from Matilda to the closed door.

"Come on."

She walked towards the main desk in the room, and sat down.

"Where are you little mousing?"

She tapped a red button, and the huge screen before them lit up, showing Sunny in the forest, currently moving his gaze around in confusion.

"Isn't that... Sunny?" Joshua walked forward, staring at the lone individual in the screen.

"You sent him to a coordinate you can track, why?" He asked.

"Aren't you the one who wants him dead, this is a good opportunity for that." She answered, her gaze fixed on Sunny.

"I do want him dead, but we already have the empire, and all the powers is in our hands." He said.

"I don't want any obstacle or hidden danger in the future... What if by chance he regains his memories, and came to the empire? I don't want that." She said, opening a red button, which was enclosed in a glass cover.

Joshua stared at the button with a frown, then looked up at her:

'I thought I am ruthless, but this woman is in a whole new level.' He thought.

She let out a sinister smile and pushed the button.

[Back to Sunny.]

WHOOSH

Sunny stopped on track, moving his gaze around in confusion:

"What was that?" He muttered.

{Reminder Master: You Haven't opened your welcome gifts.}

'Welcome gifts?'

DA-DA-DA-DA

Before he could think about it, Sunny heard sounds behind him... He looked over his shoulder, only to see hundreds of silver metal drones hovering 10 meters above him... Their station guns and missiles aimed directly at him.

"SHIT!"

RA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA!!!

The drones opened fire

Sunny shot forward, running with every strength in his body, his target was the forest before him... Hoping to lose the drones inside.

WHOOSH!!!

The hundreds of drones shot forward, unleashing more barrage of bullets, and even shooting missiles.

'SYSTEM!!! IS THERE ANYTHING IN THESE GIFTS THAT CAN SAVE ME?!!!!'

He screamed Inwardly at the system, running, jumping and rolling.

{Don't know master.}

'Then show me!'

BOOM!

He dodged the third RPG missile, which exploded some meters before him, throwing him backward.

{Opening Gifts boxes.}

'Come on!!'
