EMPEROR'S RECKONING

Chapter 49: It's Gone!

"So little sister Elize, did that naughty guy do something to you?" asked Karina.

Hearing Karina's question, Elize's face was turning red as she remembered what had happened.

The girls noticed her burning expression and then glared at Lyon, who still had an empty plate.

"I-it was an accident!" said Lyon trying to prove his innocence.

"What accident? <3" asked Ryona.

Elize's face was almost as red as her hair colour, she wished there was a hole in the ground to cover her face.

"W-w-we accidentally kissed that's all!" said Lyon nervously.

Elize couldn't take it anymore, as she finally buried her face with her palms.

(DON'T DO THAT WOMAN OR THEY WILL GET MORE SUSPICIOUS!), thought Lyon.

"Ohhhh, then why would you need to change cloth then?" asked Ryona.

*gulp

"Well, there was this place where heaven and energies cannot get inside, so I wore what Elize provide me with."

"It's true." an old majestic voice came out from the lake.

The group looked at the source of the voice and was dumbstruck especially Kyoko.

Of course, he was none other than Shen Long, the true dragon.

(NICE!) signalled Lyon to his teacher.

"Let me introduce my self because the last time you kids were watching me on the ring right?" smiled Shen and his iconic fluttering whiskers.

The girls had a wryly smile on their face as they embarrassed being found out.

"My name is Shen Long and I'm one of this brat's teacher," said Shen with a slight bow.

The woman also bowed nervously in response.

"I owe you one," whispered Lyon.

"If you remember your past, you owe me a whole lot more," replied Shen.

"Don't be nervous, you can think of me as Lyon's parent,"

"What you see right now is my corporeal body, so I had no real strength, luckily I won't die even if my corporal body got destroyed but it does sting a little on my element form."

Then Shen began to narrate of what exactly was going on back in the turtle shell.

"Aw big sister," hugged Luna.

"Leave it to big sister Ryona, you shall not be bullied by anyone."

"I will help out too," said Riku.

"C'mon here, take this shrimp it's the best," said Kyoko.

"Did they just become best friends? I really don't get woman sometimes," said Lyon while shaking his head before he continued, "Unlike us, right Jugen ..." (Oh right, you still fainted).

"Ladies, can I have one of the food."

"No!"

Time really flies when one enjoys their activities and it's about time for Elize to comeback.

"Don't worry I will visit you often," said Luna.

"En," nodded Elize with a smile on her face, her happiness was unbound.

"C'mon I will take you home," said Lyon.

*splash

Lyon hugged Elize, as he swam to the turtle shell.

Their clothes were fluttering as they go deeper inside the lake, the fishes were swimming along with them and the corals were swaying with their rhythm. On his chest, Elize looked up the man who brings her joy for the first time since forever. (Will he be able to set me free...) thought Elize as her gaze was on that absolute confidence man.

*grip

Elize's grip became harder which ignited Lyon's confusion.

*blurr blur blurr, (What's wrong?)

*blur blurr (Thank you)

*blur blurr (What?) Lyon shook his head.

Suddenly two delicate hands held Lyon's cheeks,

*kiss

As their lips touched, a ray from the sun illuminated them as if the heavens were blessing this scenery. If someone photographed this, he or she would win the best photo award of the year for sure.

*creak

*ptak

*ptak

*sfwoosh

Lyon quickly grabbed an empty bowl and pour the heated soup over and over again.

*uwahh

"That hit the spot."

Then they both sit opposite of each other once again.

"I will leave my old clothes here," said Lyon.

"Why?"

"Well a

"As a memento I guess, besides I wanted to see how your mother would react hahaha... I'm just joking."

"No, I will keep it."

"Huh?"

"I said I will keep it."

"Are you sure?"

"En," nodded Elize.

"Then I will keep this clothes," said Lyon.

"En!" smiled Elize.

"Teacher Shen please take care of her," said Lyon.

"Sure thing kid."

"Well, this is goodbye, for now, the next time I came there would be a huge banter between me and your mom, so prepare your heart and be strong okay."

"En! I will."

"See you!"

*splash

"See you!" said Elize as she gripped Lyon's old clothes tightly on her chest.

"Aren't you going to reveal your true form to him, undine?" asked Shen.

-------------------------------------

*neigh

Lyon and the rest began their travel back to the Phantera Kingdom.

*zing

As they entered the borderline, they were greeted with a night sky, totally different from the sunny lake.

*grug *grug

They were greeted with the utmost respect from the guards and also from the citizen. The one that welcomed them in the castle was Leyna with a face full of smiles.

*tap

*tap

Leyna whispered into Lyon's ears, "Did you do it?"

"Do what?"

*sigh

"Did you bang my daughter yet?"

"WHAT?!"

"MOM!" reprimanded Luna with a red face.

"Right right, you must be tired for today, so go to your chambers."

*tap

*tap

Lyon was tired indeed and he walked down to his chamber like a living dead.

*creak

"Huh?"

Then he checked the wardrobe, under the bed, inside a blanket, nothing.

(It's gone!) thought Lyon.

*creak

He opened the window and there were no footprints on the snow.

*sigh

(I guess it's legal to scream now).

"IT'S GONE!!!".

*grug

*grug

Ryona was the first one to come inside Lyon's chamber.

"What happened?"

"It's gone!"

"What is gone."

"The ball is gone!"

*sfwoosh

Ryona quickly approached him and grabbed his crotch.

*grab

"Ahn." Lyon moaned a little.

.

.

"Not that ball! the sphere we bought in the auction."

*pfew

Ryona released a breath of relief, "You scared for a little while there hubby <3."

*kyaaa

A scream was heard coming from the kitchen.
