"Are you sure you want to escape the empire without saying goodbye?" Gabriel Veron II asked as he looked coldly at Redence Amelia since he caught her trying to escape the big gates.
'Fvck it, the guards are on the way!' she shouted in her head as she smiled fakely and faced Gabriel.
"Uhmm, how did you find me here?" she asked as Gabriel smirked. You were quite easy to find. Honestly, the guards here are quite stupid that they didn't see you leaving or walking around here, " he said as he approached you slowly.
"D-Don't come near me!" Red said as Gabriel chuckled and still walked towards her.
"Do you even know who you are talking to?" he asked as Red sighed. "Fine. I know you are one of the royal guards of the Emperor, but can you please let me escape this once?" she asked with puppy eyes.
"What's in it for me? An enslaved person like you doesn't deserve any freedom. The Emperor owns you." Gabriel said as Red smiled.
"But in the law of the Empires, If a slave gets married to the royal guards, then the slave is free to roam outside the Empire even without the emperor's notice!" Red explained.
"Smart one, Are you asking me for marriage?" he asked, smirking. Yes! I just need to go back to my hometown to meet with my dying mother for the last time! So please help me, and I will make you happy in the near future." She swore as Gabriel looked at her, bored.
"Hmm, I don't think I'll benefit anything from you," Gabriel said as Red grabbed his hand and looked at the Mana Bracelet he had.
"I see A family of dragons with a fire ability. I can give you an heir! I bet with your Mana, it wasn't easy finding the right partner, especially since they cannot handle your Mana and die first before even making a baby." She said, and all those things were right.
"What family are you from?" Gabriel asked as this girl was getting on his nerves for being wise and observant.
"I came from the family of Healers. I can be a potential spouse for a fire-breathing dragon since I'm a healer. So what do you think? The Emperor will be happy to have another Dragon army." Red said as Gabriel smiled at her.
"Deal, Yet if you don't come back to me after a year, I will hunt you down and drag you back here in the empire," Gabriel said as he kissed Red's hands, giving her a tiny dragon wings mark on her pulse.
'Why isn't she hurt by the Celestial Seal?' Gabriel asked himself, also confused.
"You may go and leave, " he said as Red smiled. This will mean a lot to me. My name is Red. How about yours?" she asked as Gabriel smiled.
"I'm Gabriel, " he answered as Red disappeared, and the guards searched everywhere for the missing slave.
"At ease!" Gabriel shouted as everyone bowed down to their knees. He took off his cloak and revealed his uniform as the Emperor of the Dragon Army, the Celestial Dragon Emperor Gabriel Veron II, as he sat on his throne, and his crown appeared on his head.
"Emperor Veron, We are very sorry, yet the slave escaped unknowingly," Baste said as Gabriel smiled at him.
"Let her be. I found a potential wife, and we will get married in a year. Please prepare for that huge celebration." Gabriel said as he smiled and looked at the blue moon.
'I will surely drag you back if you dare forget me, Red.'
