Chapter 22

❤️❤️❤️  Emperor Ariadne Will (Part 2)❤️❤️❤️










It all started with her lavish wedding.....




After the death of Juno, Warlord Emera became miserable. Though he didn't know why he was miserable, in fact when he had woken up the next day after burying Juno, he forgot about it and now sees Rumi as Juno. He started neglecting in training his warriors or seeing to it that Ashland and the Kingdoms under Ashland are safe.

Warlord Emera couldn't concentrate in his position as the Warlord of Ashland any more. He became a shadow of himself.

He became the talk of the kingdom and was gossiped about whenever the people saw him.

Four Years ago, when Rumi was 18 years old she introduced a young man to him. Rumi told Warlord Emera that she wanted to marry him. He then asked the necessary questions about the man's family from the said guy and went to visit him in his own home to see his family as a father could. He loved what he saw and accepted the guy to marry his daughter.

"Father, I need a big ceremony after my oath with my husband that will be talk of every kingdom under Ashland," Rumi said to him. "You have to invite every King under Ashland including the Emperor to attend my ceremony." she added. "I need every villager to feed on the day of my ceremony."

"But you know your husband to be is not that buoyant enough to finance the ceremony."

"But you are, father, I know you can do it for me, for your only daughter."

"Juno, it's been a long time since we have new students coming here, but I will try to do as you ask."

And indeed, Warlord Emera did a lot of spending like he had promised Rumi. Through the influence of the Emperor, the three kingdom's rulers under Ashland came to the ceremony. After that, Rumi went with her newly wedded husband to his house.

Two days later, Rumi's father in-law returned Rumi back with a complaint.

"Your daughter beat the hell out of my wife and nearly killed her with a kitchen knife if my son didn't interfere and after my son interfered, she faced him and dealt with him also. They are both responding to treatment. I have come to return your daughter back, we are no longer interested in her again. My son doesn't want her again. Just two days and she wants to wipe out my entire family," Rumi's father in-law said and left, leaving Rumi behind.

"Juno, what happened?"

"They were pretending to love me father but they truly hate me. They were mocking you, father, and then I insulted their son and you can see the result of my insult," Rumi lied and Emera believed her lies.

Within a year, Rumi had gotten married six more times and she always made sure Emera spent more than the previous ones.

After the Emperor fell sick, Empress Rose took away the title 'Warlord' from Emera and gave it to her brother.

"It is the Emperor's decision, you are no longer capable of taking care of Ashland and the rest of the kingdoms under us. So my brother will be the new Warlord and my husband does not want to see you any more." Empress Rose told him. "For the sake of the friendship I and your late wife had shared, you will be keeping this house."

That was the last conversation he had with the Empress and that information changed him and true to the Empress words, her brother was appointed as the new Warlord of Ashland kingdom and a house was built for him to stay. And just like Emera he began training new students.

Emera started visiting the travens and sometimes got drunk and slept there. Most times people brought him home so it wasn't any different today.

Rumi was sweeping when two kindhearted middle aged men brought in her father. She stopped what she was doing and rushed to help them carry her father down to the corridor of the house that was still in good shape.

"We saw him passed out on the roadside, so we decided to bring him home to you," one of them said and they left.

"Thank you," Rumi said after them as she watched them leave the compound. She returned her gaze to Emera and smirked. "I am not yet done with you, probably the next time they will see you,  you would have drowned but unfortunately I won't make that happen because this isn't suffering yet. Soon the ground I step on shall become your food." she added and returned to what she was doing. In the villager's eyes, even though Rumi had been married and returned several times, she was the good daughter who was taking good care of Emera in his devastating state.

Emperor Dean Kingdom: Kingdom Ludra under Dean:

Kira cold eyes stared down at the shriving scared bodies on the ground in front of her. There were about five of them, young men, laying on the ground.

The villagers of Ludra all stared at Kira in fear.

"Your monthly payment hasn't been paid yet. This will be the second month and yet Ludra hasn't paid to the Emperor for your safety and when I ask your king to tell you all to pay, what did you say to him?" Kira asked, dressed in a male warrior clothes and her hair hidden in her hat. No one answered her. "You all have suddenly gone deaf?" She went forward and placed one of her feet on one of the five men's heads. "I repeat myself again, what did you tell him!!!" She shouted lifting up her leg and smashing it on the head she was stepping on, the head of the guy burst out and his brain came out, blood was soaking her boot but she didn't care. Glancing at the remaining four men who were quickly up to their feet and one for them quickly said.

"We told the King to fuck off and that we won't give a damn if the stupid Kira comes here,"

When the King of Ludra had come to announce to his people about their monthly payment and also reminding them they hadn't paid for the previous month that went by, the five young men had insulted him and Lord Kira. He had no option than to report to Lord Kira who visited his kingdom unexpectedly with her horse alone and asked him to fish out the young men that said it which he did. It was either them or his head.

"I didn't come here because of your insult to the King or to me. I came here because you didn't add my title to my name!" she yelled out and brought out her sword and with a quick flex, cut off their heads in one swing.
