[Perfect!

Everything according to the plan!!]

Indeed, even Kylo did not want to take her with him. At least not yet. He still had many things planned and for that he needed her help.

One of those being his plan to steal the mysterious orb that he 'lost' in the auction. He wanted just not orb but also many other treasures in the kingdom treasury. And obtaining those would not be possible if she followed him.

Even if she is not being treated like how a Queen should be, she is after all a Queen. She had enough authority and with her background very few in the kingdom could truly oppose her.

One should not forget that even Evian becoming the King was possible because of her support. So Kylo wanted her to stay in the kingdom.

The emotions that Kylo was showing was just him acting, a facade to impress her. Not everything was an act, but most of it was.

It would be a lie to say that Kylo does not like her. But liking someone and trusting someone were totally different concepts.

There might be many times when you can trust your enemy but you can't trust your lover. After all at that time Kylo did not make a {Soul Contract} with her that would make Kylo absolutely trust her.

Continuing to think, initially it was very difficult to convince Evian to practice this technique. And even after he chose dual cultivation, he rejected being with some other lady.

He wanted to practice only with her wife, Rosalyn.

[But knowing this might harm Rosalyn he agreed.]

It would not really harm her. That was just a little lie mixed in the truth. But Evian chose to not take any risk.

Love? Kylo hardly believed that shit! Kylo refused to believe that that egoistic King really loved Rosalyn. Kylo knew that he was just afraid of her power, her background.

[And we took advantage of that fool's fear.] Slowly Kylo and his group brainwashed him by how a king as coward as him could never be an emperor and whatnot.

And his fear slowly turned into hatred towards his wife. Actually just brainwashing was not enough. After all even if he was not a crowned prince he still became the king.

That meant he had brains required to not be fooled by just anyone.

[But we just required him to practice Dual Cultivation.] The reason Evian defected was because of this 'evil' technique.

The Cultivation technique made his emotions unstable. He slowly became hot tempered and used to get irritated with little things.

[And slowly we took control over him.] Kylo thought with dangerous light gleaming in his eyes.

[That fool pushed away his only support. Inferiority complex can truly ruin someone's brain, status... and life.]

Kylo was not able to laugh. He himself had to suffer for more than a decade before overcoming his own inferiority complex over those 'upper class'.

[But still, it will never change the face that he is a fool to actually push away Rosalyn.] Kylo shook his head internally. Though he was not really complaining since it was Evian himself who chose this path. And that just made it easier for Kylo.

But that was just the first part of his grand scheme. Kylo's group continued to cause ruckus in his kingdom.

Imagine someone whose emotions were not under his control, being brash and irritable about little things, when he gets to know someone was causing ruckus continuosly in his 'backyard', just how angry will that person be.

The irritation could be compared with someone who would feel itchy when suffering chickenpox.

[And that stupid Chang enjoyed it.] Kylo suppressed his smile thinking about Yan Qingchang who was causing ruckus all over the kingdom.

Sometimes attacking an army station, sometimes stealing and even killing nobles. Of course a single Yan Qingchang was not enough for this.

Who knew how many times he would have been slayed if Yan Qingchang was truly alone. He had support from many other people.

But that made Evian busier. Busy to the point he became frustrated since he could not catch those who were causing ruckus.

And even if Evian and his army came close in catching them, Bai Yishan and Nicholas Dumas asked help from few of friends who in turn assisted Kylo's other teammates from shadows.

Evian wanted to vent out his anger. And to let out the accumulated frustration he wanted a target. And Nicholas Dumas conveniently pointed a target called 'Rosalyn'.

[And that's how my poor Rosalyn suffered the tragedy.] Though Kylo said poor Rosalyn, he never felt too bad about it. He would never forget the humiliation in the auction house.

True no one knew who he was except for his friends but that was not what mattered to Kylo.

After all this was not just about humiliation but also about his inner demons that would haunt him, if he could not successfully take revenge on Evian, once he cultivates to higher stages.

After all he did not want to suffer from inferiority complex once again.

Unsurprisingly yesterday's event was also perfectly planned. Anyone with common sense would just need to think a little, why would a Queen come to a lowly pub?

Yes it was somewhat famous in locals, but not to the point the country's queen, the most famous queen of the continent would visit to overcome her grief.

It was because even Queen's trusted maid was under Kylo. Of course that was Kylo's charm. With various ingenious traps he made the maid fall for him completely.

When Rosalyn ran away after seeing Evian's debauchery she never ran out of castle. She never planned to leave the castle. The queen had just entered her own chamber to cry in grief.

It was the maid who suggested Rosalyn that the best way to overcome her grief was to disguise and mingle with the commoners.

That would be new experience and would temporarily make her forget her sadness. She was also the one who suggested the pub. And that was how Rosalyn ended there.

And everything that transpired there, from the music to the alcohol was his plan as well.

[Of course not that embarassing event at the beginning] Remembering about the time when he sat beside ber without asking for permission made him feel embarassed.

[Well to get her drunk was also not the part of the plan.] Getting her drunk, with her level of cultivation was impossible.

[Fate truly did its work yesterday huh... Maybe even the goddess of fate is charmed by me.] Kylo thought with an amused smile. Of couse the amuseness was inside his head.

[Seems like I caught Rosalyn's narcissism...] Kylo hardly suppressed his laughter.

He could not smile in front of Rosalyn where they were having such a lovey-dovey moment.

Even today morning giving her some alone time was in his plan. He was about to make an excuse to go outside to give her some time to think.

And it became simpler when she asked him to go out.

Of course right now Kylo was able to think so much because Rosalyn was still embarassed from the confession. Even if it looked like a lot of time took place, it was not more than a minute.

Fighters have enhanced mind. They do not need much time to think about something like this small event.

If they took too much time thinking then they would die within first few minutes of a fight against any intelligent being. Or they might miss many opportunities just because they took their time thinking.

Anyways after a minute of silence when Kylo thought all this, he stood up from chair and slowly started walking towards Rosalyn who was still sitting on bed in her bathrobe.

She was greatly flustered inwardly. And after his confession it seemed her thinking process slowed down exponentially. But as usual she did not show anything on her face.

"Promise me."

Kylo squatted in front of her, putting his arms on hers and asked with a gentle gaze

"What?" She asked in a soft tone.

"That you will come with me when I get strong enough to protect us." Kylo squeezed her hands lightly which were resting on her knees.

"Do you want me to swear a Dao Vow?" she raised her brows while listening to his request.

Kylo shook his head. He smiled and said

"I just want your promise. I will believe in your promise."

As cheeky as it may sound, girls love it.

[Not just girls any living creatures loves flattery and attention...] Kylo thought internally.

And as if to prove what Kylo's thought correct, she widened her eyes indicating how stunned she was.

(Author Note:- Even though I had a plan about how the maid fell for Kylo and wanted to let others know, I feel I shouldn't be wasting my time explaining it here since many might be waiting for present days xD.)
