EMPEROR'S RECKONING

Chapter 505: Confrontation and Revelation

The beauty that Cecile was talking to, wore a cloak that covered even the lines of her figure. The complexion on her skin could be seen from the footwear that she put on, which was none.

The woman pulled down the hood that covered half of her face. Her black hair immediately flew out free. The shine and the glam were the product of the silkiness of her straight hair. Each strand of her hair didn't crumple one with one another.

Her ocean-blue eyes reflected the proud and smiling woman with Auburn hair.? Her lips were red-velvet and moist. Glowing and inviting. This masterpiece brought many to their imagination but only one could taste them for real. Her ears slightly pointed upward with around forty-five degrees angle. The muscles on that half-cheek bones of her twitched as she snort.

"You seem to be properly dressed, Cecile."

Only a handful of people dare to call the auburn-haired woman with her direct name and she was definitely one of them. However, what starked out the most was when the beauty with blue-ocean eyes crossed her arms. A platinum ring with the same letter engraving as Cecile was worn on her left ring finger.

Cecile didn't mind her sarcastic tone as she let out a smirk while her whole naked body was on full display. Oh, how many men would die to see that was unimaginable. The moon and its star friends immediately turned lackluster against her definitive feature.

"As far as I know, this is my room Selena and as far as I can remember, I didn't invite you in."

Cecile took a breath of victory as her bountiful breast slightly heaved up.

Selena turned slightly frowned upon seeing her feature. She tried to put her attention away from that bountiful breasts with a hint of blush on her cheeks.

"I am properly dressed as I am, Selena," she shrugged. "You, on the other hand, looks like how much I would look back when we two first met you."

"Hmph! That's what you think, I have met Lyon when he was way younger, even younger than he currently is," said Selena in a discontent tone. Her fiery jealous aura was flaming her bearing.

"I heard the story, you kicked him out of that spot when he was peacefully resting under a giant tree. I heard the view was very nice too in fact."

"Kh! You don't know the full story!" said Selena.

"Fine fine, just spare me the details, I have my own story too," said Cecile as her eyes clearly hinting that she was annoying Selena on purpose.

"Tch! You!"

"Wanna fight?" said Cecile as her fiery eyes opened wide to the challenge.

Selena took a deep breath before she let out a sigh. She then turned around and walked toward the bottle of wine. She grabbed the elusive liquor before pouring it down into a rock glass.

"You forgot the ice cube," commented Cecile as she pointed out the silver bucket.

"Tsk, shut up," said Selena before she drank the rock glass.

Cecile laughed inwardly as she saw how she pretend to be doing it on purpose. (Everyone knew you like cold liquor Selena) thought the auburn beauty.

"So what do I owe this unexpected visit from you?" asked Cecile before she yawned without even covering her mouth.

The woman put the rock glass down before turning around, "I am wondering why Lyon had not come to Myriad Devils yet."

"I forbid him," answered Cecile coldly.

"Oh, do you want to die?" said Selena as her eyes turned deadly sharp.

"Heh, you think you can kill me?"

"With your shallow cultivation, I can kill you three times."

Cecile grinned against her threatening words before it turned into a chuckle.

"Hahaha, hu~ but I'm serious, Selena."

Selena didn't laugh before she brutally disappeared with a leap. The curtains immediately swayed as her fingers were only a centimeter gap away from reaching her throats. However, she saw that Cecile's right hand also did the same. In that one single exchange, both of them were equal.

"I see you haven't lost your touch, War Maiden."

"I can say the same."

Selena snorted before she pulled down her hand and looked down on Cecile. The fact that the latter did it while sitting naked on her couch spoke of her skills.

"Calm down Selena, sheesh!" said Cecile before she stood up. Her towering figure didn't scare the latter in the least however, the jealousy was indeed harbored in Selena's eyes.

Cecile leaped over the couch before landing at her king-sized bed. She looked at the ceiling as her mind wandered.

"Why are you sneaking out and about Selena. You have spatial magic element affinity like no other, only dearest can be compared to you."

"My situation is not as simple as you think," said Selena as she drew in her sharp eyes. "In Myriad Devils, I'm confined. My freedom is limited there."

"Aren't you a princess?" asked Cecile before she put her hands behind her back as she looked at the ceiling.

"Exactly, is the typical princess situation."

Cecile's eyebrows twitched (You just said it's not as simple as you think just now... now is the typical princess situation).

"I have a problem," muttered Selena

"What problem?" asked Cecile.

"My twin sister... she is the problem."

Cecile's eyes opened wide before she pushed her upper body up. She was rarely surprised by things with the experience she had in her past life and current. However, the extraordinary reveal caught her off-guard.

"You what?" asked Cecile once more. She still didn't believe it even if she had heard it firsthand from Selena's mouth.

"My twin sister is the problem."

"Yeah, I heard that the first time but I still couldn't believe it. What are the chances of you having a twin sister? Furthermore after the pseudo-reincarnation... wouldn't it be impossible?"

"Nothing is impossible Cecile," said Selena dejectedly.

"Well, dearest is definitely not in the spectrum of that word. However still! You have a twin sister?! Do you know how thrilled he would be when he know of this?" said Cecile as she could imagine that perverted face Lyon made.

"She is quite masterful in her craft but.."

"Does she have the same talent like you?"

"Most probably yes, however, I think she has a special blessing like yours."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about your War God Physique."

Cecil's pupils constricted the moment she heard those words, "That's... it must be the other type of Ultimate Physiques right?"

"Probably," muttered Selena.

Cecile turned silent. The revelation was not something she had expected in this life. However, there were no exact numbers in the world that could predict this happening for one hundred percent but the chances were always there looming around.

Cecile let out a sigh as her face was flushed red. Her metabolism had started to fully extract that dark powerful liquor.

"Do you have any new leads for her whereabouts?" Cecile's face turned serious.

"Maria?" asked Selena before Cecile nodded with a slow blink of her eyes.

Selena let out a sigh, "None. I have looked for her whereabouts for countless years but nothing. I even investigate the slightest rumor that matched her features but nothing."

"Hah~ I hope that she knew what she doing. That clever woman is quite rash but, I admit she is really brave."

Selena nodded in agreement. It was quite hard to believe but the two of them did share something in common.

"When are you guys going to Myriad Devils?" asked Selena as she routed the topic back.

From her question and the look on her face, she had given up on pushing Lyon to get to the said place as fast as possible. However, the hope still lay behind those eyes.

"Probably not as long as you think we would," answered Cecile as she shook her head with a smile.

"Fine! Just don't take too long," answered Selena to Cecile's raising eyebrows.

(Am I drunk? Am I hearing things?) thought Cecile before she smiled. (This fiery woman, I think the liquor slightly got the better of her unstable emotion for now).

"I will visit again when I got the chance," said Selena before she stood against the giant window.

Her beautiful face was fully embraced by the moon. The scene was worth a painting but sadly Cecile was not in the mood.

"Why don't you visit dearest yourself?"

Selena's lips pointed upward as her eyes slightly narrowed. She hugged herself as she looked at the moon.

"My time is too short. We only share a kiss probably in that short window of time. That is not enough," answered Selena.

*Knock!

*Knock!

A double knock was heard coming from the entrance. Cecile smiled as she shook her head. Pulling her gaze from Selena to the door she said.

"Don't bother me Assid," said Cecile before she continued, "I will tell her your goodbyes."

"Thank you, Empress Cecile," said Assid from behind the door as he bowed before leaving.

However when Cecile took a look back against Selena. Only the fluttering curtains were left.

She smirked.
