Emperor's Reckoning

Lyon clapped the dust in his hands away before stripping the unconscious butler's clothes. He wore the long black pants before calling Scarlet to cut it a little shorter so that it fits his ankles. He buckled up before he darted his glance with a furrowed eyebrows. He squatted down and took the white shirt before standing once more as he muttered, "Please don't."

He opened the shirt wide before he saw the hole right on the back. Shredded from the middle. 

He closed his eyes with a slight tilt of his head in disappointment. He let out a sigh before he used his leg to pick up the black suit and caught it with his other hand. He knew he didn't have that much hope the moment he saw the same shredded hole that the suit had. 

"Ah, well, Lumina!"

Lyon suddenly turned around to his dumbfounded woman who looked at him with slowly blinking eyes.

"I got us a carriage! Hahaha!"

Lyon let out a burst of haughty laughter with a hint of pride inside him as he crossed his arms. 

Lumina let out a chuckle as she saw how it went. The young man took down a full-fledged dragon to the ground with his roar alone, let alone a mere butler from a noble. The difference was too vast even if she were to explain it to someone, nobody would believe her.

Lyon took big steps as he quickly approached her. He brought the shirt and wore it around her shoulder before putting the suit on top of it. Lumina's cheeks turned a red hue at his gesture. Today she had been surprised by his recent actions. Nobody could have expected Lyon to have this side of his. With his natural perverted predator at the front, most ladies would scurry away from him. However, she finally managed to see this side of him. The side that could swoon any women's heart at sight.

(This is quite dangerous) thought Lumina as she saw how Lyon smiled at her with pure joy. (If you always show this side of yours, all women in the world would hunt you down) she suddenly placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him to his surprise.

"Eh? Wh-what's wrong?"

Lyon looked at her eyes squinting with happiness and gleam before the latter shook her head. (For now, though, you are mine).

"H-Hey, I was wondering."

Lyon suddenly changed the subject as he furrowed his eyebrows, "Remember when I want to ask you back in your room??"

Lumina contemplated for a while before she remembered that Lyon did want to ask a question back then. However, things suddenly escalated too quickly for them to even catch up. Remembering the atmosphere back then, she couldn't help but gulped before she nodded.

"Lumina, if you got pregnant."

Lumina's face instantly turned red as lava as her silvery pupil turned meek instead of menacing like its default state. The last word instantly made her heart race as she instinctively put her hand on her belly. With how wild the last night went, was it even a night? He kept on procreating with her nonstop, god knows what's happening inside her. It was also the reason why she needs her hips to rest. She was the woman with dragon blood running inside her veins but he was the one with the demon lust running inside his blood. 

"If you got pregnant... since you are a dragon lady... do you... give birth or lay eggs?" asked Lyon with one thousand years old of curiosity in his eyes as his mouth slightly gape.

Lumina looked at his face with a dumbfounded look. She blinked a couple of times as the atmosphere of excitement she felt instantly vanished. 

"Eh?"

"Eh??" Lyon responded.

Both of them looked at each other as they all wondering about different things. The other wanted an answer to this mythical phenomenon while the latter couldn't believe what she had heard with her ears.

"Lumina... oi Lumina!"

Lyon grabbed both of her shoulders before he shook her back and forth since he saw the emptiness in her eyes.

"S-Stop it!"

Lumina grabbed a hold of his hands before she put a glare at his face. They stared at each other for a few breaths before she let out a huge sigh.

"If you show them this side of yours, then I wouldn't have to worry about having a whole village as sisters."

"What?"

Lyon was surprisingly oblivious about her statement before the latter used his shoulder to stand up. Luckily the shirt and the suit were long enough to cover her underwear though obviously not her back. She could feel her legs feels like noodles but before she could even stretch her leg forward and took the first step, the door from the luxurious carriage opened.

Lyon raised his eyebrows before he stood up and held Lumina by her farthest shoulder with his hand. He saw the black boots with golden engraving before she could see the woman as a whole.

She had pink hair that was as long as her cheeks with a cute bang that covered her forehead like a bob-style haircut. Although her chest was not well endowed like the one beside him, she had cute dimples when she grinned her lips from ear to ear. She was about the same height as Lumina and there was her young vibrant energy as she put her hands on her waist.

Her black gloves revealed the tips of her fingers as she wore blue clothes that had asymmetrical buttons on them. The huge collar and the short sleeves were perfect for her tight blue skirt that revealed her bright thighs. 

She raised her arms towards Lyon's smirk before the former clapped her hands with a low tempo, half praising half sneering. They couldn't tell what the woman wants from her expression nor her action. 

"You surprised me," said the woman.

Lyon only smiled in response.

"I honored the deal... this carriage is yours to take but I do have one request though."

The woman smiled as she spread her leg and drag the dirt backward while raising her arms in a stance. It was quite obvious that she was in the form to go offensive against them.

"I wish to exchange one blow with you, Young Emperor, Lyon Torga."

Lyon immediately furrowed his eyebrows. The masked woman she met before also said the same thing before. However, he doubted that she knew his past because then they would not address him with 'Young' in the front.

He opened his mouth before Lumina suddenly stepped forward to his surprise. The woman in front immediately furrowed her eyebrows but a tinge of excitement peak out from the expression of her lips.

"Lyon Torga, do you call yourself a man? Hiding behind a woman?"

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows before he looked at Lumina's butt peeking out from the black suit. He darted his glance against the woman in front before he nodded with a smile.

"Yeah of course! Hahaha! Don't you realize her cultivation (Body) level? It's more awesome than mine! Whoops, I'm drooling, sorry."

Lumina's face turned red at the shameless act of her man. Her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch at this side of his. There was no denying that he was kind and caring however, there was also no denying that he was shameless to the point of palming one's own face.

"Tch! Fine then, I guess she will make do, however, are you sure? She could barely stand."

"Heh."

Lyon chuckle before his eyes turned mellow as he looked at the back of his woman. Her silvery pupils slightly glowed as she looked at the woman in front of her like the prey of the day. 

"You don't underestimate a dragon."

The moment those words dropped from Lyon's mouth, Lumina only left a gale in her wake.

The woman opened her eyes wide in an instant the moment she saw Lumina was already one step away from the reach of her arms. (This woman!) thought the woman before she quickly leaped backward.

Lyon immediately smiled as he reminisced the same scene.

The moment she landed on her feet a dreadful instinct alert her life. She opened her eyes wide as a leg was swooping right against her face at incredible speed. She immediately took a bridge position before narrowly dodging the assault but a few strands of hair didn't manage to survive. Without even taking any breath she immediately uses a handstand position before propelling herself out of her range.

(Again?!) she didn't even manage to land before Lumina caught up to her in the air. (This woman! Does she even breathe?!) her heart screamed as she looked at those menacing sliver pupils. 

"Shit!" she could only brace herself for the pain as she was practically out of moves in the air.

Lumina somersaulted before she landed a direct hit against her crossed arms.. The latter immediately plunged to the ground with a loud boom before the former landed on her bare feet and opened the carriage door with one swift motion before entering it.
