On the next day, Long Ao Zhen woke up early in the morning and after he had a quick breakfast, without another second to loose he got ready to go to the teleportation portal for a second time.

Long Ao Zhen was in a high spirit. The corner of his lips was hooked into a faint smile. He didn't know that he was smiling like an idiot but his servants who saw him, nearly tripped when they saw their one and only cold hearted master suddenly smile like such a way.

When Long Ao Zhen thought about how he will soon play out a role of "the hero saving a beauty", a strange happiness spread out in his heart. He could imagine the girl reaction and her cute smile as she thanked him later.

"Ah, my great and dear highness, I sincerely am grateful for saving my life! Please allow me show my gratitude, Long-Ao-Zhen~" A sudden image of the women then appeared in his thought as she smiled beautifully at his highness.

Finally realising of this, Long Ao Zhen thoughts immediately disappeared as he then felt a strange heat raising up his face.

Could it be that I... Tsk, no! Its ridiculous!!

Long Ao Zhen then denied that thought as he then thought that he must be in some good mood because soon he knew that he'll pay off his mistake to the girl and as a proud dragon, of course he will be happy.

Long Ao Zhen didn't even realize that his mood was especially good only when he thought of Tsuki, but it had nothing to do with whatever responsibility or any other random reasons he subconsciously made to cover up his real feeling.

"Good morning master, a palace servant just come to the manor delivering a message that today his majesty ask for an audience with your highness after the morning court." Ao Zhen personal servant came and greet him before delivering the message sent by a servant from the palace.

Actually the emperor had been asking for his son to came meet him at the palace but Long Ao Zhen went missing for 3 days and that greatly worried him.

So when the emperor received a report that his only son, Long Ao Zhen came back safely, he immediately dispatch his personal servant to delivered his message.

"What, father wants to meet me? Can't I visit him tomorrow? I have a very important thing to do now." Long Ao Zhen knitted his forehead and somehow he had a very bad feeling about this sudden meeting.

"Pardon me master, but his majesty said that he want to discuss about your marriage..." The servant lowered his head and said so while trembling slightly.

The servant was afraid that his master might get angry and kill him on very spot. He know that his master dislike going to the palace as there were many "crazy" women lurking around there.

But now, as soon as his master woke up, he was told to go to the palace for an audience with the emperor. For God shake, he as a servant also knew that from his master behaviour it seemed that his master was going to go somewhere else.

Long Ao Zhen tighten his fist ad he didn't spoke a word of anything. How could his father knew about it? It must have been his mother who might had told him.

Long Ao Zhen did hesitant a bit, but he decided to respect his father as the emperor so he will go to the palace for an "audience" with the so-called emperor.

After all, his emperor orders are always absolute.

Long Ao Zhen thought in his mind that he only need to quickly finished his talk with his father and then rush out to the lower realm. Anyway he still got two and half a day more to save that girl. No need to fret over something like this.

So, Long Ao Zhen sighed and said with a great reluctant. "Take out my carriage. I'll go to the palace now." He ordered.

"Master, a servant from the palace is waiting in front of the manor. Your highness can go with him." Long Ao Zhen personal servant exhale a breath of relief while wiping his cold sweat. Lucky that his master wasn't angry!

"Mm." Long Ao Zhen nodded and turned to walk in a hurried fast step to the manor gate. He wanted to quickly finished his business with his father emperor as soon as possible.

Outside the manor, a luxurious beast carriage was waiting for Long Ao Zhen arrival. The carriage was made with gold wood and the beast pulling the carriage is a dragon horse. A semi dragon in a form of horse. Two majestic dragon horse stood in front of the carriage with elegance.

Not far from the carriage, a palace servant wearing a blue palace servant uniform quietly stand to wait for a certain someone.

The palace servant had been standing there for quite a time before he finally saw an all so familiar figure, the one he had been sent to wait and pick up for.

When he saw Long Ao Zhen appearance in view, he immediately shouted out cheers in his heart because he know this third prince is a cold-blooded and moody man.

If he didn't want to do something then nobody could force him except the retired emperor, the prince's grandfather. Even the emperor himself as the third prince dad found it hard to force something onto his stubborn son.

Long Ao Zhen?! Why me?!?! The poor servant cried in his thought as he prays for his dear life.
