Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 2)

Emperor Andrew heaved violently and turned to the side to throw up. He retched and vomited all the content of his stomach. His lungs felt like burning and he could practically taste seawater in his mouth. He was drowning in a sea of strange vision! It was hammering his head, keeping him awake and making his vomiting even worse…

After puking so much, he hurriedly went outside his private quarters. The guards and servants were horrified to see him in his horrendous state. He knew he looked terrible and he smelled of sweat, alcohol, and puke but he didn't care! He needed to see the proof!

He hurriedly entered the study room and swiftly scanned the area. Using his newfound memory, he pressed numerous blocks on the wall in a specific order. Soon, a hidden doorway opened! He was trembling from awe and excitement when he saw the dusty yet familiar room. His eyes instantly looked at the ancient painting hanging on the wall, particularly to the extremely beautiful woman in that painting.

“Beatrix…” He blurted out but became very confused when he read the tiny inscription below… 

The woman was named Psi and this was painted by Aiden… Sky?!! The… The First Emperor of the Sky Empire?!! My great ancestor?!!

He looked at the painting once again and read its inscription once more but no mistaking it! The woman in the painting who looked exactly like Beatrix was called Psi and the painting was painted by his great ancestor!

He checked the desk and found several envelopes containing familiar letters. He hurriedly scanned the content of every letter and was extremely frightened to know that they were exactly what he expected…

Most letters contained emotional love confessions, earnest appeals for her return, and heartfelt vows from the first emperor of the Sky Empire to a woman named Psi.

He was trembling as he reached out for the last two letters. Like the rest, he already knew its content but he needed to see it with his own eyes…

The first one was a letter full of hatred, warnings, and threats from the first emperor of Solaris Empire while the last letter was her first and final letter…

Aiden, 

Don't do it. Don't force it. You promised me you will live well and take good care of Sky Empire and its people. Please, don't come here! I will come to you at the right time. You need to be patient. That is, if you truly want to see me again in the future… Trust me, in the future, we will see each other again.

Sincerely,
Psi

He absentmindedly sat on the chair. The letter fell from his hand and landed on the dusty floor…

Sure! I want to see her and be with her again… Does she really expect me to be patient once more and wait until my hair turns white and all my strengths left me just like in the past?

He smiled wryly and declared, “Not again... Not in this lifetime!”

Several miles away, Prince Anders was fighting for his life after his small vessel was overturned and destroyed by a series of gargantuan waves. In his eagerness to reach the port of Solaris Empire soonest, he decided to use the fastest route even though he already saw the storm coming his way. He didn’t change course for fear that everything would be too late. He needed every precious moment to get her out of the capital of Solaris Empire, particularly out of Emperor Valentine’s reach!

The merciless waves have been tossing and turning him around. His whole body, especially his eyes and lungs, felt like burning as the merciless waves kept slamming him with huge and violent force! He lost track of how many times he accidentally engulfed seawater. 

After keeping afloat for several hours, he was already so weak and tired. When another monstrous wave slammed him, he could no longer stay on the surface. His body descended to the pitch black churning water. He had already reached his limit after several days of little rest, not enough nourishment and dehydration. He could no longer breathe so his eyes closed on their own as he plummeted deeper and deeper to the heart of the ocean. He didn't know if it was because of extreme fatigue or asphyxia, his  thoughts began to wander…

She sighed in defeat before finally establishing a communication link. When the bond was strong enough, she gave him additional advice.

“No need to speak. Just say what you want to say using your mind, especially your heart…”

“Thanks…” He weakly said to her and then became very still and silent. He focused as he began to express inside his mind what was on his heart all this time. 

“Hi, Celestial Fa… I mean Great Creator! Psi said so many great things about you… She also told me you know everything about me… I know this might sound awkward and… presumptuous but… but… can I also call you ‘Celestial Father’?”
