2: Marriage to the emperor.

In the Imperial palace in the middle of the night. The emperor was busy thinking.

"Your highness what do you wish for your servant to do? Bastian asked with a bow.

"Am I the emperor ? Nevra asked which made Bastian kneel he sensed something wasn't right.

"Yes your Highness you are the emperor,

"Then why are things happening without my knowledge, or shall I say why are people controlling my kingdom and doing whatever they please ? Nevra asked coldly.

"Your highness what do you want to do ?

"I want you to call in the decreer. I want to make an imperial decree, Nevra said and Bastian went to do as ordered.

"Your Highness did you go outside the palace today just as a commoner ? Bastian asked.

"I did, and I have to make a few changes for the welfare of the empire,

Just then the decreer came in with the scrolls and ink. Nevra made a decree and this decree shocked to the two people in the room.

Nevra looked outside after making sure that is a decree will go where it is required.

"Are you sure about this ? Bastian asked.

"Am the emperor,

"What about the imperial Empress ?

"I'll explain it to her, I'm sure she will understand she always understands and anyway it's not as if am doing this out of personal interest,

"Liying, Liying there is an order from the Imperial palace, and it involves you, Yeling said rushing towards Liying.

Liying immediately stood up the Imperial family has never bothered with them what do they want now.

Liying went home to find happy parents she thought something was wrong why did they look so happy ?

"Liying we have a very great news you won't believe what happened, but you won't tell you the messenger from the Imperial palace will tell you, Helia said and this made Liying more curious.

The messenger on seeing Liying gave a bow and opened the scroll.

I Emperor Nevra, Emperor of the imperial kingdom ask for Princess Liying princess of the Kin sect hand in marriage. I know it is of great surprise to why I am doing this, but I have had of your daughters incomparable beauty and also kind heart.

There is still a benefit to my marriage to her from her. I know Princess Liying is common within the commoners and I would appreciate it if we could help each other.

I Emperor Nevra humbly ask their highnesses Helia and Cedar permission to make her mine.

Liying saw all this to be weird. There are many royals who are famous among the commoners why choose her they must be at deep reason.

"Did you hear that the emperor wants to marry you from a low status, Helia excitedly said.

" There is no thinking there you are marrying the emperor straight away,

Liying just stood up and walked out of the room she needed to think about this.

She looked at the clouds then at her tiger Skyla.

"Do you think I should do it ? Liying asked rubbing her fur.

Liying knew how much are parents wanted her to get married. She knew this was an honor to marry into the Imperial family. But still the emperor had many concubines, and he also had an Empress. If she agreed to marry him she would have to be one of his concubines.

Liying had a low status entering into the Imperial family she would have to endure a lot of torture was she ready for that ?

Marrying the emperor still had benefits she will help her sect grow more, and she will also help much more than before. Even though it will not be much power she can do a lot with it.

She had finally made a decision.

"I princess Liying agree to marry the emperor, Liying said with a bow and the messenger smiled. He almost thought that Liying would reject, and he would have to be the bearer of bad news.

"Actually the anchorage is already waiting for you. We are here to take you to the palace immediately. We will give you a time to say goodbye to your family members. It's actually a secret marriage for now and I would really appreciate it if you do not reveal to anyone what happened here, the messenger said.

A secret marriage. Why ? Liying thought.

"Don't worry it will never be revealed unless the emperor says so, Cedar assured and the messenger left.

"I can't believe you are getting married to the emperor, Helia said.

"There we were racking our brains on where we would find you a husband and look now our wish has been fulfilled, Cedar said.

"Now that means stubborn daughter is going away I don't want to let her go, Helia said.

"Do you know how rebellious you have been here at home don't be like that at the palace. It's like a war there don't mess with the wrong people, Cedar said.

Liying looked at her parents with a smile.

"Mother, Father I promise you I won't get myself in trouble,

"Come now let me dress you up as a bride, Helia said leading Liying to her room. Castiel waited outside her daughter was going to get married to the emperor but it did not make him very happy.

The emperor had many concubines and there was a chance his daughter won't to be very happy. Will his Emperor even remember her out of many wives, but why ask for a secret marriage ?

Soon Liying was done, and she came out wearing a golden fiery dress. She looked really beautiful, but that was not a wedding dress.

"Why is she wearing that ? Cedar asked Helia.

"Do you know how stubborn our daughter is? She refused to wear any other dress if it is not that dress,

"Fine as long as she is marrying the emperor not the dress, Cedar said.

Cedar and Helia escorted her outside. They had dismissed everyone since it was a sacred marriage.

Liying turned to look at her parents she smiled then climbed the carriage.

"Wait, I am your elder brother how can you go without saying goodbye to me ? Castiel asked in an annoyed voice.

Liying climbed down and hugged him.

"I thought you wouldn't make it here on time to say goodbye to me, Liying said.

"I love you so much how can I do that to you,

"Hey don't talk for too long she is now somebody's wife so have some manners, Helia said and the two siblings laughed. Their mother was obsessed with culture observations.

Liying finally got into the carriage and left. After promising them that she would visit them.
