The plan
Phoenix had begun his training
He loved training outside of his house most of the time
There were times that he would go to the palace to train
But those was when there were upcoming wars
But none had reared its ugly head
He was happy though that he was not even going to the palace
Because he didn't want to see the emperor
After their discussion the last time, he had decided to avoid him like a plaque
And also, the empress had come to see him about the emperor's recent behaviors
It had been just two days ago but what had been said was still fresh in his mind
Phoenix
Your highness. I was not expecting to see you here
Queen Vixen
I came to see you, Phoenix
Phoenix
I'm fine, your highness. Please, can I get you something?
Phoenix
Please, what brings you to my humble abode
Queen Vixen
Phoenix, what is going on between you and the emperor?
Phoenix
What! Your highness. I'm sorry, I don't understand the question
Queen Vixen
My husband has been acting very weird this past days
Queen Vixen
And I know it's because of you
Queen Vixen
if there is anything going between the two of you
Queen Vixen
please tell me
Phoenix
Nothing is going on between the emperor and me
Phoenix
The emperor is a strong alpha
Phoenix
No doubt about that
Phoenix
But I have my own alpha
Phoenix
I don't have anything to do with the emperor
So the empress was forced to believe him
And his possessive nature
And she knew he wanted Phoenix
Queen Vixen
However, I must caution you
Queen Vixen
If it really turns out my husband the emperor is the one after you
Queen Vixen
Then be careful
Queen Vixen
He is possessive
Queen Vixen
Very possessive
Queen Vixen
When he wants something
Queen Vixen
He goes any length to get it
Queen Vixen
and I am afraid he might not back down from you
Queen Vixen
So please don't too close to him
Phoenix
I understand your highness
Phoenix
And thank you for the words of caution
Phoenix
I will put that to mind
Phoenix continued to think about her words
Even up to now that he was training
He was still thinking about it
Phoenix
If what the empress said is true, then I have to be careful
Just then sky came to call him
And he quickly went inside the house
Oblivious of the person who was spying on him from outside
The king was still furious with the empress for going to visit Phoenix
Because of this, he had stopped going to her chamber entirely
Worrying the empress even more
But she knew and understood why he was doing that and hoped Phoenix would listen to her words
She was glad he was not training at the palace like he used to
That would have given her great worry if he had been coming by like he used to
Angry that all his persuasion to win phoenix had failed
The emperor devised a plan
That ended up hurting Phoenix the most
Emperor
I need to have him
Emperor
I can't wait anymore
Emperor
He must be mine by any means necessary
He calls his most trusted guard. One he knows Phoenix would listen to
Emperor
Go to Phoenix's house and tell him to come to the palace tomorrow evening
Emperor
Tell him I want to apologize to him
silent guard
Leave it to me your highness
silent guard
I will do exactly what you want
Emperor
Tomorrow evening, Phoenix
Phoenix was spending time with Lou at his house
The guard met his absence
But waited for him to return
Phoenix returned a few hours later
Surprised to see a humble guard at his house
silent guard
The emperor requests your presence at the palace tomorrow evening
Phoenix
Why, if I may ask?
silent guard
He wants to apologize for what happened the last time you two met
silent guard
It would be good if you go, Phoenix
silent guard
You know the emperor barely begs
silent guard
But this time, he is begging for you to come and see him
Phoenix
Okay. tell him I will be there
silent guard
*takes his leave*
Phoenix contemplates whether he should go or not
He tells his brothers what the emperor said
And they advised him to go and listen to the emperor
Phoenix
But what about what the empress said
Sky
Listen, I know he is her husband
Sky
But he has not bothered you ever since that day
Sky
So, just go and listen to him
Rainbow
Yeah. Maybe he really wants to apologize
Phoenix
Well okay. If you say so
Little did he know, he should have stayed at home that day
