1 Forced?
"Don't worry, Miss Laura! I will explain everything on the way. But first, we need your decision. After all, it would be good if you cooperate." Jones shook his head and explained.
"So, even if I don't agree, I would be forced to go, right?" Laura helplessly smiled and asked. She bites her lips as she thought of the consequences of disagreeing.
"I am sorry to inform you but yes. We must take you back for the ceremony. And, after that, it depends on your decision. I will be frank here. If you do not agree, we will confine you inside the palace since the tribe needs their queen. But, if you accept, you can do anything you want."
"As for the relationship, as long as you don't agree, my king will not force you. I can bet my life on it." Jones spoke with a serious expression. He was trying to persuade her and make her follow willingly.
After all, he also doesn't want to force her. But, he can't let her go either. This is a hard decision to make but he is helpless.
"I agree." Answering him, Laura turned back and muttered "I have no place to go. And, I need to take care of my son. I don't know how many women he will have but I hope I can trust you for our safety."
Hearing her words, Jones and others looked at each other smiling. Jones turned his head at Laura and said "Miss Laura, I might be being a little blunt here. But, if you proposed to have a child with him, then he will never accept another woman in his life except for her majesty."
"Of course, your cover won't last for a long time. But it doesn't matter. In this world, strength is everything. Even though he is the king, he isn't the strongest. As long as he can surpass those people, nobody can truly do anything against you."
"But, in the matter of child, I think he will hesitate to pass the throne to your current son. After all, no matter how much he dislikes having a harem, he knows he must provide the rightful heir to his tribe that can inherit his own blood."
"Well, there is no point in thinking about that for now. If he ever needs the heir, I will leave the tribe alongside my son." Laura didn't know why but she felt she truly doesn't need a man. Especially it is hard for her body and mind to accept any other man. She didn't even know whether she can truly love her new future husband.
Jones sighed but didn't say anything. Laura stood up and asked "By the way, you said that my Time Domain doesn't affect you? Do you know anything about this? And, can you teach me how to cultivate properly?"
"I figured that you wouldn't know. Well, it does affect everyone but we are slightly immune to the power of law due to our king. But, if you take too much energy at once, your Time Domain absorbs it and increases the power."
"And, if you can't control your emotion, it will spread out. A few minutes ago when I put the Sky Devouring Wolf Blood in your mouth, your Time Domain absorbed a lot of energy. Because that process was a little painful, its power was released through your emotions."
"Though you were unconscious to feel it," Jones explained to her.
"You? Did you kiss me?" Laura asked as she touched her own lips.
"Err! No, no! You are our future queen. How can I kiss you?" Jones was startled by her depressed look, so he hurriedly spoke to clear the misunderstanding.
"Oh!" Laura didn't speak anything. She was slightly confused by her own reaction. Because, she didn't expect the kiss would be the first word that come to her mind.
"How about we leave now? The Spirit Kingdom is very far." Jones spoke.
"I heard about it. How are we going to reach there by tomorrow?" Laura asked while trying to hide from his gaze.
"Miss Laura, please sit here!" Jones spoke while taking out a palanquin. It was made with a gold and silver cover with room for a single person while two handles at back and the front.
"What is this?" Laura asked as she hasn't seen such a wagon in her life. And, she was surprised to see that he could take it out of a small ring.
"We call it Palanquin. This is a kind of carriage for a single person when we have to fly over a long distance. Its cover will keep you safe in the air even with the high speed. Brad and Brown will lift you while I will explain everything on the way." Jones explained.
When Laura heard that, she nodded her head. She walked inside the palanquin and sat on the red mattress. It was so soft that her heart shook for a moment. Her bed was nearly a hundred times harder than this.
"Ehh!"
Suddenly, Brad and Brown lift the palanquin startling her. She loses balance and strikes at the wall. But when she thought it would hurt, she felt the incredible softness.
When they floated in the air, she doesn't know why but she felt like a bride riding to her husband's home. As they move forward, Jones followed them. The door was only at one side and Jones floated at that side.
As they floated for a while, Jones asked "Miss Laura, are you feeling comfortable?"
"...…."
"Miss Laura, are you listening?" When he didn't get the reply, Jones removed the veil over the door and asked. But inside the palanquin, Laura was already sleeping peacefully.
"Sigh! And here I thought I can explain everything during our journey." Jones sighed but he didn't wake her up. Not only does Laura seem tired physically but also exhausted mentally. And, understanding her economic condition, he knows why she felt incredibly comfortable in such a compact place.
"Hehe!, Jones, you need to start calling her by title. After all, she has agreed to become our queen." Brown shouted from beside which made Jones release a blue energy barrier around Laura.
"Yeah, and we can explain her tomorrow. Since she has accepted this, she should be able to easily accept other details."
