“Hmm…” Claire opened her eyes and looked at the clear sky above her head. In a blink of an eye, it was already the second winter.
“Does it really not snow in the East Continent? Every winter, I used to watch the snow with my mother.”
“It turns out that you miss your mother.” Spark wiped Claire’s lips with his fingers and said with a smile, “Then I will accompany Claire home, okay?”
Claire sat up with a jerk, surprised and delighted. “Really?”
“Yes, when I finish the work at hand.” Seeing the girl smile, Spark was happy too. “If possible, bring your mother to the East Continent, OK?”
“My mother… is not in good shape.” Claire hesitated.
Spark squeezed her cheek. “It’s okay. I will have the best doctor treat her.”
Claire’s eyes sparkled and she couldn’t hide her joy.
A guard came to the back garden. “Emperor You.”
Spark’s face instantly turned cold. He stood up and dropped a kiss between Claire’s eyebrows. “I have something to tend to. I’ll have Noah come over to accompany you.”
Not long after, Noah came over.
Seeing the man leaving in a hurry, Claire asked. “Is he very busy these days?”
During this period of time, she didn’t see him much.
Even if he came to her, he only had the time to say a few words before being called away.
Noah’s expression was unnatural. “The East Continent has been a bit turbulent recently.”
At night, Claire took a shower.
Spark helped her dry her hair and hugged her to bed.
Claire suddenly raised her head and asked. “If two people promise each other to meet in the next life, will they meet in the next life?”
“Idiot, how can there be such a thing as the next life?” Spark held up Claire’s small face and looked into her eyes in the dark. “So, we must cherish the person we want to love in this life and spend more time with that person.”
“You’re really not romantic.” Claire grumbled and fell into his arms.
In sleep, she vaguely heard the man whispering in her ear.
He said, “Claire, there is a sea of flowers in the East Continent, which is very beautiful. I will take you to see it after a while.”
Early in the morning, Claire was awakened.
There was deafening gunfire downstairs.
The door was suddenly knocked open, and Noah rushed in with a gun. “Miss Claire, come with me!”
She took Claire and ran out, and the servants downstairs fled around. The crowd was surging outside the gate, and blood was splattered everywhere.
Claire asked in surprise. “What happened?”
Noah gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Bert has rebelled. He killed several other elders of the Menglai Clan and removed the Co-existent Bewitching Bugs of Hesa Army. The army members have fled with their lovers. Bert and Ethan Muller, the son of the former King of Li Kingdom, colluded and led soldiers to attack the You Palace. This battle… we won’t be able to win this battle, but don’t be afraid. We will protect you.”
Claire’s heart did a flip and she immediately asked. “Where is Spark?”
“I’ll take you to see Emperor You now.” Noah guarded in front of Claire, took her to go to the back garden, and got into a secret tunnel leading directly to the outside of You Palace.
When they left the secret tunnel, they saw Spark standing not far away.
Claire hurried over and threw herself into his arms, finally relieved. “Are you alright? What should we do now? What can I do for you?”
“I’m fine.” Spark stroked her head gently.
A helicopter landed in front of them.
Noah clenched the gun in her hand. “Emperor You, take Miss Claire to go away first. I will cover you.”
With that, she turned around resolutely and went back into the secret tunnel.
