Rebirth: The Emperor's Obsession ▶️

6. DEEP AFFECTIONS

6. DEEP AFFECTIONS

Loey had been spending his days eating, sleeping and just leisurely living in luxury. In his past life he used to be a workaholic but now he had finally got some time to just relax. I felt good, for a while but now he was iching to do something. He has asked his girls what could be done for fun but he was now tired of board games and taking walks around the courtyard. Life was officially now boring and it had only been a week since he joined this strange world.

When he woke up on Sunday he thought it would just be another boring day until he heard he had a visitor. He quickly fixed himself up and his servant girls already gave up helping because he had refused all week.
"I have hands with means I can dress myself and fix my own hair. You should just worry about cooking me a good meal and cleaning this place" was his motto all week. As soon as he was settled he told Lisa to bring in the visitor.

A young handsome man dressed in a black robe with red intricate designs on the edges entered and bowed before him.
"This servant humbly greets her majesty" Loey was used to the bowing now and just smiled before happily telling him to rise.

The young man raised his head but seemed to freeze when he met Loeys smile. He quickly recovered and covered it up with a cough
'Damn this why our emperor is so whipped. He is so beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen him smile like that. This is new' Sehun said internally and he returned the smile. Loey had always given him a gloomy indifferent look but most of the time he didn't even allow him in and the servants would say their mistress is not well and doesn't want to see anyone. It was strange but was a good change.

"What brings you to my humble abode. Lisa sweetie bring us some tea and snacks" Loey was happy he had a visitor and so his mood had brightened up to the stars level.

"There is no need. This servant is not here for long" Sehun said with a bow but it was mostly to avoid that blinding smile that was giving him heart pulpitations.
"Nonsense. I rarely get visitors and so you should stay for at least one cup of tea and snacks" Lisa arrived at that moment and served them. Sehun had no choice but to relax and have some tea. It woukd be rude if he didn't. He thought as he licked his lips admiring the delicious snacks on the table.

He ended up having 3 cups of tea and almost forgot to leave the parcel he was sent to deliver. After all was said and done he happily left Loeys courtyard.

Loey first looked at the medium sized wooden box that was left by Sehun. All his servant girls sat around him excited to see what the emperor had gifted her. In the past their mistress usually refused his gifts but now he was willing to open this one and so they were very excited. 

He finally couldn't hold back anymore and opened the box and what was inside made his eyes sparkle. You need to understand that Chanyeol grew up in a household surrounded by women. Evwn if he didn't end up as a crossdresser type of gay man he still knows how to appreciate good jewelry and that's what was in the box. A beautiful set of jewelry. But he appreciated it more after hearing Rose's words.

"Its a twin flame stone. It takes at least 1000 years for a palm size stone to produce amd they are very hard to find and obtail because they are only produced within a volcano"
"Must be crazy expensive" Loey responded still admiring the jewel. It actually looked like they was an active fire within the ruby red crystal stone.
"If it could be solved no one could afford it. Its so rare I have never heard of someone selling it" Jisoo added.

"It only means that the emperor must have gone to find one himself. Only a dragon, fire demon or phoenix can withstand the heat of a volcano. Do you know what it represents mistress?" Jennie said excitedly.
"No. Enlighten me"
"It means soulmates" Lisa responded before all the girls giggled like they had heard the best gossip in years.

Loey tool a while to think about it. It seems the emperor really holds Loey dear to his heart. Chanyeol was frustrated that a lot of memories were blank in his head and he didn't know what had happened.  Actually now that he thought about it it didn't make sense. If the emperor loved him so much then why didn't he come and deliver the gift himself.

"Why hasn't the emperor come to see me since I woke up? I was sick. Isn't he concerned about me?" Loey asked but the girls gave him a puzzled look at his question. Did he ask the wrong question?
"Mistress... have you forgotten what you said?" Lisa broke the silence.
"I said a lot of things... remind me"
"You told the emperor you never want him to appear in front of your face or else you will leave this palace and never come back" Rose explained. 

"Oh"
Damn it Loey. Its obvious this man loves you. Why would you go do something like that and make things difficult for me. How could you live a depressed life when the damn emperor likes you. I don't get it. Whatever it doesn't matter. I guess I just have to fix this for you and live this new life for you the way it should have been intended.

Why do you think Loey originally rejected Hyun?
