"Empress Nouhime!! Don't just shut up and cry!! Don't test my patience!!" zeus' toilet was still filled with mounting fury, making his white face instantly turn crimson.
"I'm just happy because I can still live because I was saved by Commander Zhou. Sorry if I made the emperor Zeus misunderstand .." replied Noahime squeezing the white sheet and still helplessly looking down.
"Is that really all?!"
"True, His Majesty Emperor Ze-us ..." Nouhime smirked ever more and more and still trembled with fear.
Zeus grabbed Noahime's hand and made him sit on the edge of the bed.
"Hc. Empress Nouhime, do you still remember my previous request? I want a son! So give it to me!" zeus slowly caressed the side of Noahime's face.
"It must be a son! Because I need someone as my successor!!" zeus slowly began to reach for the thin lips with a reddish aura that Noahime thought was very scary, although actually Zeus also put on a smile to decorate his handsome face.
"Well, Emperor Zeus. I-I'll try to give it to you" said Nouhime closing his pair of eyes and could only give up on all his current life's fates.
It felt like he was shouting and going as far away as possible to leave Fumio's palace. But he has no power to do so. However, Zhou had already given a message for him, to continue living his life without the need to worry at all, because Zhou had a spy who would also always look after him.
Zeus smirked cunningly and began to take off his robe of pride. Zeus also began removing the tie of Noahime's cloak and slowly pushed Noahime's body to the point of laying on the luxurious bed.
Nouhime could only close his eyes, holding his breath every time Zeus enjoyed his body in every inch of his neck. Her shadow was filled with Zhou's figure. His heart is very sick and painful to face all the destiny of his life at this time.
...⚜⚜⚜...
The return of Zhou and the soldiers received a warm welcome from Nobuhide's court family. Several families of the soldiers were also seen waiting for their families and husbands.
Zhou did not see Lily among them. When he wanted to return to where he lived with his wife, suddenly Yaoyao came to him.
"Commander Zhou, Emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide is waiting for the commander in the main hall to talk about something" Yaoyao said.
"alright. I will face the emperor soon. Thank you, Yaoyao." said Zhou potluck.
"Together, Commander Zhou!"
Zhou turned and sailed to the main hall, where emperor Yoshinao Nobubide had been waiting for him. And sure enough, apparently the emperor was already sitting there waiting for Zhou.
"Your Majesty Emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide, I am the commander of Zhou facing His Majesty!" Zhou saluted his respects by looking down and linking his fist. "Does His Majesty the Emperor want to convey something to me?"
"That's right, Commander Zhou. I congratulate Commander Zhou for conquering the Mitzuhiro clan and the Genda clan. This is so awesome! Even the Spartan clan that was so legendary and very strong had also succeeded in defeating the Zhou commander, to expand Nobuhide's territory. Commander Zhou deserves a reward from me!"
Emperor Yoshinao Nobuhide said he looked very satisfied with the achievements achieved by Zhou.
"I'll give you some gifts, for your wife and, the great teacher and also for your son. May you like this gift." the emperor raised his right hand and three soldiers began to bring 3 medium-sized crates.
"Take all these gifts to Commander Zhou's room!" the emperor gave his word to the three soldiers.
"Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor!" the three of them said in a low tone and immediately left to deliver the gifts to a pavilion where Zhou lived with his small family.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Emperor!" said Zhou in a low tone.
"Hc. You deserve all of that!" said the emperor still showing a face full of satisfaction with a big smile.
Imbuh the emperor while rubbing his short beard that has begun to whiten.
"Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor."
"Hc. Come back and rest. You must recover your body and stamina."
"Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor. In that case, I say goodbye." Zhou said in a low tone and gave a salute of respect then immediately left the hall.
...⚜⚜⚜...
The air tonight blew so coldly and was felt by Zhou as he walked down the palace grounds. With a body that was already feeling so tired, Zhou came to a pavilion where he lived with his small family.
DRRTA ...
The wooden door began to slide slowly because of fear that it would wake the wife or the son who might have fallen asleep resting.
His gaze began to spread to look for the figure of the wife, but Zhou did not see the existence of Lily or the son.
"Where are Lily and Helios? Even the gift was a soldier left behind." he muttered as he looked at the 3 crates that were still neatly arranged in the corner of the room.
"It's late. Where's she?" he murmured again and intended to go out again to find his wife and son.
But not yet to leave the pavilion, Lily suddenly entered the room with Helios.
"Uhm .. Have you returned, Husband? Forgive me for not welcoming your arrival .." said Lily breezed through Zhou and immediately put Helios to bed in particular.
"No problem. Did you just leave somewhere? I didn't see you when we came back" Zhou said, approaching his wife.
"Ssttt .. keep your voice down, Husband. Or our son will wake up again." said Lily softly and put her index finger on the lips as thin and bright as the cherry.
Lily pulled Zhou's hand and led him away from the son's bed.
"Where are you going?"
"I helped Aunt Lu to knit some clothes that she was going to sell. The result is quite good I can use to additional buy our needs" said Lily with a sweet smile adorning her beautiful face.
Lily's words made Zhou feel guilty because apparently Zhou was not fully able to make Lily happy. Even Lily was still struggling to earn some extra money.
"Wife .." said Zhou softly and grabbed the side of his wife's ayu face. "Don't do any more work. I'll cover all our family expenses. Don't worry about it anymore, because right now I'm the one who should make you happy. You just have to look after our son and serve me. Do you understand?"
Zhou said warmly and looked closely at Lily.
Although Zhou's request was quite surprising to him, Lily finally nodded slowly and smiled sweetly. Zhou grabbed and hugged his wife. The guilt is still troubling him right now.
"I miss you, My wife ..."
"Hc. I miss you too, husband. But to be honest, I've been very worried for a few days. I am very worried about you for your departure to fight against the Mitzuhiro clan and the Genda clan. Are you all right, husband? You're not hurt, are you?" tanya Lily looked up at Zhou.
