"Who... is that?"
"I couldn't see who it was... they were so fast."
"Is it Lady Hua?"
"Not sure."
Zhao Tian landed at the grand entrance of the Palace and walked inside. If it was before, he would sneak into the balcony of the Queen's room, but now it's not needed.
Stepping in, he walked through the royal hallways and some guards frowned looking at the handsome young man.
But they quickly recognized him and kneeled on the floor as he walked past them "Your Highness!"
Everyone is aware of the strong bond between Queen and the young man, and as a result, they refrain from showing any disrespect towards him.
Zhao Tian didn't mind them and continued his stroll.
"Xue'er is not in her room?"
Mumbling under his breath, he walked towards the Royal Court. and as he approached the Grand Hall, the sound of voices grew louder and more distinct.
"Your Majesty, this matter requires utmost focus. We can't always rely on the barrier that our ancestors gave to us"
The minister, who was standing, spoke, glancing at the blonde-haired woman sitting on the throne wearing Regal robes, her face hidden by a veil.
Another minister stood up "Yes, Your Majesty, this is-"
*tap* Hearing an echoing noise, all the heads within the court turned towards the entrance and saw Zhao Tian walking inside the Royal court.
Ning Xue's eyes grew tender as she already sensed his presence entering the palace.
The minister who was standing frowned, his eyebrows looking at Zhao Tian confidentially came in disturbing their Royal Court.
"You young man, do you know what you have done? You have disturbed our royal court meeting."
Zhao Tian glanced at him and narrowed his eyes. A fellow minister leaned in and discreetly whispered to Minister Ghen , "Minister Ghen, you know he is close to Her Majesty."
A cold voice escaped Ning Xue's lips "Minister Ghen, do you know who he is?"
Minister Ghen's heart shook hearing her voice "But, Your Majesty... it is a blunder for anyone to disturb the royal court, and this young man-"
"I don't care about that." Ning Xue's sharp voice cut through the air, silencing him.
Everyone looked at Zhao Tian curiously, Just what did he do to Her Majesty? Even during the competition, she stepped forward for him.
Ning Xue's eyes glanced around at everyone "Calling him as 'young man.'? Where is the respect for him? Why isn't anyone standing up and bowing?"
Huh? Respect for him? Someone who is much younger than them? The Ministers hesitated and looked at each other. For what?
Ning Xue spoke in her usual cold voice "Why the hesitation to bow in front of my man, Your Future Highness?"
What??!!
The Royal court was filled with gasps of astonishment as all eyes turned to the young man with striking white hair. He is Her Majesty's lover?
The air was thick with disbelief and curiosity as whispers spread throughout the room, questioning the nature of their relationship.
Never before had such a scandalous revelation rocked the court, leaving everyone in a state of shock and intrigue.
The ministers didn't hesitate any more and one by one, everyone stood up bowing for Zhao Tian
"Your Highness!" Their collective voices echoed through the Royal Chamber, acknowledging his presence.
Ning Xue spoke her eyes glimpsing at Zhao Tian "His name is Zhao Tian, my Husband, the future ruler of Zhenzhu. I was actually planning to announce this to everyone during the anniversary of the Royal family."
"Well, whatever... now that everyone knows it, show him proper respect; if not, I won't hesitate to punish the one who disrespects him."
"As you say, Your Majesty." Everyone replied in union looking over at Ning Xue.
Zhao Tian let out a sigh and walked near the throne "Everyone leave."
Hearing Zhao Tian's words, the others were dumbfounded. Do they want to leave right now? But they were in the middle of a discussion.
Ning Xue squinted her eyes "Didn't you hear what he just said? Leave!"
"Y-Yes, Your Majesty."
Hearing her cold tone, one after another everyone exited the Royal court.
Zhao Tian walked the small steps and reached the throne. With a smile on her face, Ning Xue stood up "Tian."
Gently grabbing her waist, Zhao Tian pulled her up and sat on the throne, making her sit on his lap.
"So, Your Majesty, can you please remove the veil?"
Ning Xue couldn't help but let out a giggle as she playfully pulled back the veil, revealing her face to Zhao Tian. Without hesitation, Zhao Tian leaned in and captured her lips with his own, igniting a passionate kiss between the two of them.
Ning Xue eagerly responded to his affectionate gesture, closing her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck, completely lost in the moment.
As Zhao Tian pulled away from the kiss, a smile dancing on his lips as he gazed into her mesmerizing golden eyes "You guys were discussing something important?"
Ning Xue shook her head "It's about the recent outbreak of Astral Beasts, nothing else."
"I see." Zhao Tian muttered and Ning Xue gently rested her head on his shoulder.
"What happened to that woman, Freya? Is she learning the cultivation technique?"
Ning Xue gave a wry nod and hesitated a little "I actually wanted to talk about this with you, Tian."
Seeing her hesitation, Zhao Tian frowned "Xue'er, ask me what you want. Don't hesitate."
A soft smile graced her lips and she nodded "En.. the thing is, Sister Freya needs a large amount of astral energy to practice that technique."
"And the astral energy in our middle star Earth is not sufficient, so... I thought of using your artifact. She can cultivate inside your artifact, which has rich and dense astral energy."
"Tian, can you please allow Sister Freya to cultivate in your artifact?"
Ning Xue hesitated because the artifact belonged to Zhao Tian and Freya Everglade cultivating there had no benefit to him.
Even for the cultivation technique, Xia Shenyi took Freya Everglade's storage ring and she knows nothing in this world is free.
Zhao Tian placed a kiss on her lips "Why are you hesitating for this? You are my woman... so if you need anything, just ask."
Ning Xue nodded her head "I know, Tian... but Sister Freya is not your woman, so..."
(A/n: Then we just have to make her one... muhehehe)
Zhao Tian shook his head. "No problem, she can use the artifact and Shenyi will also get someone to talk and Spend time with,"
Ning Xue's eyes lit up hearing this and she plunged in for a deep kiss "I love you so much, Tian."
...
Meanwhile, somewhere in space-
A woman with long green hair stood on her ark looking at the opposite ark and gritted her teeth in frustration.
"This is the worst thing."
