Chapter 255: I will make your promise true.
"If I ever get a second chance at life, I'd like to marry you, Emperor," Rani said softly, her hand reaching out to caress my face. I was taken aback by her request, as my original plan had been to create a clone of her to rule the Haman Kingdom under my control. But now, things seemed to be taking an unexpected turn.
"Rani, why do you want to marry me? You know I'm already married and have multiple wives."
"Emperor, my future husband betrayed me. He took my throne and killed my mother. I can never forgive him for that. And when I lost control, he called me a disgusting demon... I'll never forget that." Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, her pain evident.
"Emperor, I love you. I love you because you stopped my people from suffering... and you called me Rani, even in my... demonic form..." Her voice trembled, growing weaker as the life in her seemed to fade. Despite her overwhelming desire to live, she knew these were her final moments.
"Rani, I promise you—I will end this curse and bring your mother back. You are not going to die. You're going to live," I whispered gently, stroking her cheek. Her eyes widened in disbelief, struggling to comprehend my words.
"I would be happy to live with you... Emperor," Rani whispered as her eyes finally closed.
[Why do you want more women in your harem? Aren't you satisfied with the wives you already have?]
"Why are you so insistent on this? I want to take control of the Haman Kingdom. I'll do whatever it takes."
[I hate the idea of other women circling you with predatory gazes. I'll kill anyone who tries to harm or seduce you. Besides, do you think your wives will be happy when they find out you want another woman as your wife?]
I fell silent, thinking of Rose and Sendra. They would surely kill any woman who tried to get close to me. I sighed, knowing how overprotective they were, and turned my gaze back to Rani's lifeless body, now resting in the depths of the underworld.
"I'll make them accept her," I muttered, giving Rani one last glance before ascending toward the exit. My mana began to drain rapidly, and fatigue set in. My body ached with every movement, each step becoming heavier as gravity seemed to pull me down. I felt as though I could lose consciousness at any moment, but I pressed on.
(Host, your mana has almost drained, please stop now or your body will get hurt.)
"It's just a little further. I'm almost there," I muttered. I was at the exit of the hall, and though my mana had completely drained, I forced myself to continue flying by tapping into my life essence.
"Haa... I'm back." I crashed onto the ground, and every muscle in my body screamed in pain.
[You okay? Are you hurt?]
"I'm fine. Not a single scratch on me," I replied, scanning my surroundings. I was alone near the giant hole, with no sign of the Haman army.
"Where is everyone? They should've evacuated the city by now... Ah!" I winced as I tried to stand, but my legs gave out beneath me. My entire body trembled and went numb.
"I can't walk... What do I do? I have to catch Juha before he escapes."
"Emperor!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed through the air. I turned around to see General Ruksha rushing toward me.
"Huh? What he is doing here and what he is carrying in his hand?" I saw him approaching me with a smile and a pouch in his hand.
"Emperor, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine... but where is everyone? I don't see any Hamans here."
"They're all heading back to the city after sensing the Wyrm's curse lift. We don't know exactly what happened, but the Wyrm has been defeated," Ruksha explained, stepping closer to me. I nodded, but an uneasy feeling crept over me. Something felt off about him.
(Host watch out for him!)
"Huh?"
"Puff!" Ruksha suddenly threw the white power at my face, I didn't see this thing as I inhaled that inside my lungs.
"What is happening to me? My mind is going dazy." My eyes became blurry and I could understand what was happening I fell into the ground from numbness and looked at the.
(Host is under the effect of the Drug)
I heard the desperate voice inside my head and tried to move, but my body refused. I looked toward the Ruksha and saw his red blushing face "Ruksha What are you doing?"
"Emperor... I always loved you, I couldn't resist my inner feeling that ever I look at your beautiful face and fragile body, Your Emperor will make you happy I promise" Raksha spoke as he caressed my face and unbutton his pants.
