"Dan Heng, why won't you see what I am doing for you?"

Dan Heng was laying with his back against the tree as Umi was playing the flute, entertaining him as they were enjoying a sunny day in the courtyard of the Emperor's Palace

The Emperor was standing in front of the immortal, who smiled warmly at him as Umi stopped playing the instrument, to look at the man with his guards behind.

"Your Majesty, it's a beautiful day, isn't it?" Dan Heng tilted his head with a lovely smile as the sun rays were caressing his face, enlighting his eyes full of love

"Do not change argument" the Emperor crossed his arms, staring at him with mad eyes "I have requested your presence for a gift and it turned out you were with this mage"

Umi flinched "Your Majesty I..." he looked at Dan Heng, who tilted his head "I didn't know the Imbibitor was requested... I just joined him"

Dan Heng was surrounded by guards. The Imbibitor stand up as the Emperor offered his hand, to then follow him.

"Wait!" Umi tried to walk with them but the guards stopped him. Dan Heng turned and smiled at him

"It's okay! Thank you for the music, I will come back!"

Umi looked at the immortal walking happily as the Emperor was leaving a mad stare at the mage.

"Know your place, mage."

Umi gnashed his teeth, feeling pure hatred sent by the Emperor. He was blinded and he was showing day by day his insanity growing. His thoughts were always around the Imbibitor and the mages he himself appointed to control and check all his actions, and who now disliked them because they were passing their times too close to his treasure. It had no logic, but his possession was growing strong and he couldn't just help but seeing everyone trying to steal Dan Heng from him.

"How dare they" the Emperor held Dan Heng's hand tight and the immortal looked at him confused

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Dan Heng tilted his head and the Emperor looked at him, feeling his madness getting replaces with an insane love

"Nothing, I just missed you"

Dan Heng wasn't feeling anything as the Emperor hugged him tight. He didn't feel like even hugging back as he was disturbed by a weird malicious aura he had around.

Once the Emperor and Dan Heng entered in a big room full of treasures, the immortal didn't know how to feel. He flinched as he felt the Emperor's arm around his waist.

"It's all yours"

Dan Heng looked at the Emperor as he slowly got his distance "Your Majesty, I do not need any of this"

"Why? You don't like? Should I... deal with my advisors? Jade jewels, beautiful silk hanfu with golden emboidment crafted by the best artisans of the Empire and those are not on your likings?" the Emperor sounded like he was about to get desperate, his insanity was making him almost laugh in disbelief

Dan Heng smiled embarassed and maybe a little bit guilty, as he noticed his reaction wasn't anything good "No no! It's all beautiful but... I have stayed in the Palace enough, I must get back to my forest" he looked at the Emperor with sweet eyes "I won't need anything like that, but I do appreciate your Majesty kindness"

The Emperor looked frustrated "Are you still planning to go?"

Dan Heng looked at him confused "Of course. I do not belong to the Palace"
