All day Atlas avoided going to Rose, her words were like sharp arrows hitting his heart but he gave his pearl to the right person but wrong time
"She said she wanted to leave" Snipper looked at Atlas
"Do I let her go or do I keep her?" He asked
"Your majesty, I would trust your judgment but as your friend you need to trust your heart"
"If I let her go, can I always be by her side?"
"She has a pearl, right? You can find wherever she is"
"Yes, but I will never have a Queen"
"She can be your Queen another time till then let her go"
. . . .
Tiana walked behind Overan with a smile, he was a beauty even men couldn't keep their eyes off of him. While Tiana was drooling over Overan, Raden was burning with jealousy, yes he was a mystical creature with raident beauty but Tiana was destined to be his
"Raden" Jasver called
"Calm down he won't marry her" Jasver said but Raden didn't even spare him a glance cause he was burning with jealousy
"But he might just run away with her, how can I compete with your brother?"
"You don't need worry, Tiana likes you" The whole group stopped in front of them
"Welcome to the Fox Kingdom" Overan held out his hand showing a blissful kingdom, Like an ancient city it stood, the bright and structural buildings shined in beauty and the Fox people with their ears and tails out in Freedom, Tiana stood in shock and amazement at the same time this was truly a site to behold.
"Follow me the Emperor awaits" The three strangers accompanied by Fox people towards the giant building standing at the edge of the Kingdom, many stared at the visitors since many weren't welcome with open arms
"This place isn't like back home, looks more peaceful instead of eyes watching and judging you" Raden told Overan
"This is a peaceful kingdom, Foxes are as peaceful as our magic"
"The magic of the Foxes is mostly Healing and protection but we never use it there is no reason to"Jasver explained
"Likit ai't sendera" Overan said to some people
"Valcoti sounderi0" He gave them currency and took the ropes
"I have bought us horses so we can get there faster" he said handling them the ropes to the horses

I stared outside the watery veiw, it's almost day break and Atlas hasn't said any words since their almost argument this morning. She did like Atlas maybe because he took her V-card away but he was handsome and wasn't mentioned in the book that much, it was only a matter of motnhs before the original book was going to start and maybe she can change the horrible ending her family had.
"I will let you go" Atlas's voice made her turn her head towards him as he stood by the door
"When we were kids, I knew I liked you and wanted you to be my Queen, You have my Pearl so wherever you go or whatever trouble you might get into just say my name and I will save you" He said putting our heads together and it made me believe his words
"Thank you" I wanted to show my appreciation so I kissed him on the cheek
"Maybe one day I will be your Queen"
"Stay one more night, you can leave tomorrow morning" He whispered
"Here is a good question, where would I go?"
"The Fox Empire, He'll take good care of you"
"Who?"
"You will see"
The rest of the night Atlas held me in his arms notnletting me go, he genuinely liked me and I kinda felt bad, back home I was too busy being a medical student to fall in love so maybe in this world I could let go of my own stupidity and let people in my heart
. . . .
The Fox Empire was a beautiful place to be and the Foxes had a beauty that was poisonous to the Humans especially the Royals, A man with a masked sat in a wide room with colomns holding it together inscipted with red and gold Foxes paintings, the man's clothing were of ancient and adorned with jewelary.
"Overan has sent word, the Humans are on their way here" The servant bowed and left the masked man, his emotions were very unreadable thanks to the mask but he remained calm
"Why are you hiding while I prepare for the Humans arrival?" A beautiful female fox entered the room with Nine tails behind her, her presence was kind yet dangerous
"As the only Woman I allow in the palace, that is your duty"
"I am your Mother not your Wife" she said crossing her arms
"Yes mother I know, I trust you to carry out these duties till I find her"
"Her, her her, for 15 years that's all you have said yet I don't even know who she is"
"You will soon enough mother"
"The Humans have arrived your Majesties"
"Aren't you going to greet them?" She asked
"Sorry but they'll come here"
Jasver got off his horse and joined his group being home again felt more fresh than being surrounded by nobles, he was half fox only but Mana but he never shifted just like rest
"Greetings, I am the servant of the Emperor Li Huang, he awaits for you in the Throne room" Overan didn't follow them only watched from a distance
"You're not coming?" Tiana said looking back at him
"I am only Head Guard, when the Emperor wants to see me he will call, we will met again Lady Tiana" he bowed before going the opposite direction, sighing Tiana ran to join her group
"What's wrong?" Raden asked seeing her expression
"Nothing" before Raden could explain they entered the throne room
"Your Majesty, I present Jasver the Great Wizard of Enticia, the second Prince Raden and Lady Tiana of the Thyler House"
They all bowed before the Emperor, Tiana took a little peak but his face was covered with a mask so she couldn't tell if he was handsome or plain ugly
"Arise Jasver, I hate that you know" Javer chuckled as he came close to the throne
"Welcome back" The Emperor hugged Jasver like they were okd friends even though Jasver was around 20
"Lady Tiana, we have met before when I was a young prince"
"We have?" She asked confused
"Yes, I was good friends with your younger sister"
"Huang that's why we are here, it's Rose"
