CHAPTER 09

Dawn Scarlet

It's been another two days and I felt quite better now, but I still can't get over what is happening to me. Not to mention the unusual tattoo I have on my wrist and the nine-tailed fox in my room! Aurelius already questioned the tattoo I have but luckily he did not seem to question the nine-tailed fox which I name Yuki. Well, yuki can hide his eight tails so the emperor did not pay much attention to it, but he did ask where did i got such a rare fox and i told him that maybe it followed me all the way here since i don't remember Anything about my childhood.

He believed what I said about Yuki but my tattoo was not because he had seen my wrist and he knew I had no tattoo there. I just told him that it was actually there all along and he didn't notice it because I tried to cover it with medicine since I think it is not good for a woman to have a tattoo.

When I said that, he immediately said that I would not hide the tattoo because it was not illegal to have a woman's tattoo, he even said that the tattoo is too beautiful to be hidden.

And now that I am already fine I am going to check how his legs are because he might have removed his cast so I can go home. Feeling that when I was staying in the area, the weird things were going on with me.

"Hey sister-in-law! Are you okay? Don't you have any injury right?" - I was almost overwhelmed by the shock when the bwiset Trajan suddenly shouted from afar. Damn I am actually planning to avoid him but the annoying thing is that he didn't even give me a chance to avoid it! He could see me fast!

"I'm fine .." - I promise and before I could even start walking I could feel his presnsion beside me and he was already with me. Wait before I forget this man just spoke a commoner's language right?!

Since the language here is different from what I used in my last life but I can understand both. The English from my last life is just like their first language here but is commonly used by royalties or merchants while the commoner's language or from my last life is like Filipino is commonly used by those who actually don't have any social status or if the Two Persons Communicating Are Indeed Very Close

"Good sister-in-law, I was worried sick about you."-he exclaimed which made me frown. This is the second time he called me sister-in-law right? This man is a bastard

"Prince Trajan, can you remove your hands around my shoulder" - I said and he immediately removed his hands and I quickly walked away from him. But I could feel her obeying me. It would be better for me to be confined to my room and rest so I would not be bothered by a to tsk.

"Where are you going sister-in-law?!" - He exclaimed which made me roll my eyes. I ignored her and walked straight until I got to Aurelius' study hall and to my dismay followed the bwiset Trajan.

"Oh I see you are going to talk with your future husband" - he commented because I could quickly hear him. I almost forgot to forget that he was a prince because I was about to hit him because of what he was saying.

"I will not disturb you anymore hehehe byeee sister-in-law !!!" - He exclaimed and before I could even react he ran away. I can't help but to roll my eyes because he is so young that he is so young and that doesn't fit his age.

I heave a deep sigh and I knocked on the door of Aurelius's study hall.

"Your highness, It's Doctor Dawn Scarlet"

"Come in" - I heard him say and I immediately opened the door and went inside. And I there I saw him sitting on the wheelchair I designed near the window while reading a book.

"What do you need?" - He asked as he closed the book and he shifted his gaze at me. If this was not just a king this one might have been- nevermind.

"I would just like to check your legs if it is already healed or halfway from healing" - I said and he immediately nodded his head which is a signal for me to get close.

"Pardon me your highness" - I said and I remove part of his clothes that is covering the cast. I closed my eyes and I put my fingers on the bone just right above the upper end of the cast. The way I am doing it is way different than those I do in my past life. And I don't know how but when I close my eyes and I use the same way as when I check the pulse of the patient I can determine if the part of the body of a patient is already healed or not.

Maybe that's one of Fourteen's two days ago which is one of my special skills. Argh! Wait a minute why do I even think about what Fourteen said?!

"How is it?" - Suddenly his majesty asked as I immediately looked at him and I froze when I saw him looking at him. And when I realized that I was eye-to-eye the dear king I immediately lost my gaze and he was overwhelmed

My fool is because I suddenly look up! Tsk but it's also more stupid and he's staring at me! My feelingera is a joke, I just hope for myself. Not to mention that I really don't plan in having any love interest as of the moment.

"So how is it Dawn?" - He asked again which made me return my gaze to his legs. It is quite impressive that his legs are healing quite fast. Though I predicted that his legs will heal for about two to three weeks seems to be just one-week it is nice

"Your highness, do your wound heals fast?"- I ask as I finally remove my hands from his legs.

"Yes, why?"

"I believe it is the reason why your legs are healing faster than the normal rate. I will be able to remove the cast a few days from now and you will be able to return to your normal life"- I smile at the same time standing up I and my simple dressing my clothes. I looked at him and I almost had a nosebleed when I saw how handsome he was while looking outside the window with his hands under his chin.

I can't believe that I am still fascinated with handsome men! Gosh, all I know is that I get over my life because in my last life when I was in high school till the first year of med school I do fancy handsome men usually Korean artist or anime characters and i Always keep a picture of them in my phone.

And this emperor here is just like an anime character!

"Good to hear that my legs are getting well since I am also planning to have our wedding next week" - he suddenly said reasons to get me back to the trance and also made me almost faint.

I'm doomed

*

I'm doomed. I'm doomed.

Okay! I don't know how many times I've said that phrase but it's true! That man- or rather that stingy emperor is planning to have our wedding next week! And I'm telling you I don't really want to get married!

I didn't get married in my last life even though I reached my dream, is it here? Right now I am thinking of a plan to freaking avoid that marriage.

Run away and hide? No that isn't possible, well it may be effective for a few days but since he is the freaking emperor he will fucking finding way to find me! And I'm sure what happens to me is that every day I moved out of the place, damn so tired!

Should I marry someone else? Fuck no! I don't want to marry an Emperor to another! Argh this is really getting annoying! Eh if I die so much .. Not the literal deads, I'll just fake my death, maybe that's possible.

Arghhhh ewan! I do not know what to do! I have never been able to digest what Fourteen said to me two days ago and this is a wedding! Seriously? Who would believe that an ordinary person who did nothing but heal the sick was a 'Divine Lady'. Like what the fuck? It's a trend here and not to mention that this white fox does follow me around but I don't fucking know what this red feather tattoo actually means!

"Congrats to your wedding Divine Lady Dawn Scarlet" - I heard someone said behind me and when I turned around my face immediately sank when I saw who spoke.

"What the heck are you doing here fourteen?!"- I sing. All of a sudden, he was coming to a mushroom! What if I'm right? tsk

"Of course I am checking on the Divine Lady soon to be Empress" - she replied with a reply which made me roll my eyes at him.

"Don't mention that thing fourteen. You hurt my head especially. Tsk I don't like the ones you say Divine Lady especially when I don't want that king to like me." - I scoffed and I heard him laugh

"It doesn't seem to be, eh in my old age you were so handsome when you first met" - he said which made my eyes grew wide. What the heck?! How did he know that I was handsome with that guy?

"I know because I am always watching you. Duh? You are my mission given by God so it is my duty to watch over you and that includes whatever you are thinking" - he said with a smile plastered on his face which instantly made me Freeze on where I am standing. He just said that he could read what is on my mind right? He freakin said that he can read my mind !!

This bastard is stepping his boundaries! What's on my mind is my private matters !!!

"I am one of God's people so technically the rule of privacy does not work on me" - smiling Fourteen's promise.

"Just shut up fourteen and help me on how can I escape this marriage thing!" - I promise. I don't want to argue with him. If he could read what I had in mind I would have nothing to do with it as long as I wanted the marriage that Aurelius would say! I am not really ready for marriage!

"Sorry Dawn Scarlet but you cannot escape the marriage and you cannot strip from your title as the divine lady of this world" - she replied and based on the tone of her voice she was obviously serious about what she said. I couldn't stop the map sigh. So what? Will I be forced to accept the wedding? Gosh I don't even love the guy. Yes let's say I was in trouble but that's different! Also the title of being the said Divine Lady Des not really suit me!

"Dawn Scarlet, this is your fate. Even if you are not murdered and wished for another chance. God will still find a way to reincarnate you and make you a divine lady and be the wife of the ruler of the world you are in" - He said again which made my jaw drop. What the heck? Is he serious?!

"Yes I am serious. So you better accept your fate and do your best to lead this world with the Emperor" - he smiled as he said as he said to me to blush my mind.

Fuck! I am doomed.



Aurelius Shen

"Brother are you really going to push through the wedding next week?" - I immediately looked at my sister because of what she had asked. When I look at his face, I saw a glimpse of worriedness on it. Of course, I know what he is worried about.

Being a royal family, having lots of enemies have been a normal thing. Assassination attempts have been my breakfast, lunch, and dinner ever since I was born. Before the one behind it was my mother, or rather that I should call her my stepmother since I recently found out that she is not my biological mother and she is also the one who killed my biological mother.

Now, we still have no clue who is the person behind the different assassination attempts. My soldiers are trying their very best in finding clues especially who the fuck is behind the attack a few days ago that almost endangered Dawn's life.

"Yes I am serious brother" - I answered him and I heard him heave a deep sigh.

"Alright, I am not against your marriage brother but what about those daughters of the dukes, prime ministers, and counts? Not to mention that we promise that there will be a selection three days from now?" - He said which made me frown. Damn. I also forgot that I asked one of the ministers to prepare a banquet for a selection of possible ladies to be my fiancé.

And it is against the law that I will announce my fiancé before the selection, it will cause quite a ruckus especially if the dukes are involved. Not to mention Dawn doesn't have a title and her background is not yet confirmed. The dukes will find a way to not let dawn by my fiancé

"Purchase a title for Dawn's brother and put her name on the list of those who will attend the selection. I am not planning on taking in a damn concubine. I already made Up my mind for Dawn to be my only wife and the Empress " - I seriously promise and I can see how my sister smiles. In our country, it is only natural for a ruler to have an Empress and a Concubine. However, I already planned not to take a concubine. I prefer to have one wife that will become Empress since I have already proven that having concubines will create a fuss and will cause the deaths of children and their mothers. I don't want what happened to me in the past to happen to my future heir.

"Consider it done, Brother. I was afraid that you are also planning to get a concubine." - He said with a smile that made me grin. Now I can't wait to have Dawn to be my wife. She is my fate; I am fated to be with her and she is fated to be with me. And whoever tries to hinder us shall suffer.
