Ximena’s eyes widened after she finished reading.
“Elphaba” She muttered and closed the letter,she looked at Neriah.
“His majesty,where is he?” She asked.
“I have no idea my lady,but Zhuri is not with him,I’m so sure” Neriah said.
“I have to spend the night with him tonight,no matter what,I have to” Ximena said and stood up.
“I have to,I will never allow her to take him away,never” She said,pacing around the room.

••MOON GARDEN••
The emperor stood in front of the tree,looking at it blankly. The flowers are still there,still the same since the last time.
“You told me you don’t want the tree anymore,but you look otherwise” A voice said beside him and he faced the deity.
“Otherwise? How?” He asked.
“You want the flowers to bloom more,badly it’s not coming out” The deity said and Emperor Augustus scoffed.
“Do I look worried to you?” He asked.
“No,you’re only wondering how and why the ones on the tree happened” The deity replied.
“Exactly,and I am confused. Why? What happened exactly?” He asked.
The deity ignored him and walked closer to the tree,he plucked one out of the three flowers.
“What are you doing!!” The emperor yelled.
“I see you want it” The deity faced him.
“Even if I don’t!! At least I must have worked really hard to make those ones come out” He said.
“You think you’re the one behind the flowers?” The deity asked.
“Then who? Is this not…my heart?” The emperor asked and touched his chest.
“You never for once gave in to that dark heart of yours,what’s the difference between then and now?” The deity asked and he scoffed.
“Am I supposed to know?……”
“Yes you should!! You need to find out why!! Why these flowers suddenly bloomed!! What happened exactly to the dry tree!! And how to make them bloom even more!!……”
“I don’t want to!!” The emperor shouted back at her.
“I don’t want to find out any of those you’re talking about,just….take me away from here,that is all I want” he said.
The deity nodded.
“You might really regret this later August,I will grant your wish like I said,I will be back soon,either morning,noon or night to take you away,like you’ve been requesting,so make sure you don’t regret your request,never” The deity said.
“The only regret I have until now is……..nothing at all” Emperor Augustus mumbled.
“I’ve never for once regret my decision,none” He added and left the deity in the garden.
The deity turned back to the tree and her eyes shone white,she badly wanted to dry the blooming flowers up but she changed her mind.
“You’re working so well Zhuri,be prepared for tonight….I will create the bond and you will feel it,,,you stubborn creature” She said,referring to The emperor.
She continue staring at the tree before she eventually vanished.

••NIGHT••
Zhuri walked with Asher in silence,she was so nervous. Asher noticed her mood and faced her.
“The emperor doesn’t seem to be in a bad mood,so don’t worry” he said and Zhuri looked at him.
“Really?”
Asher nodded and Zhuri sighed out.
“Thank you Asher” She mumbled.
“It’s nothing” Asher smiled.
Asher stopped in front of the entrance and he opened the door for Zhuri,she entered and he closed the door back.
Zhuri sighed out and walked straight to the emperor’s chamber,he was there with a glass of wine in his hand.
“My lord,I’m here” Zhuri bowed.
Emperor Augustus dropped the cup and faced her,he said nothing. Just staring at her like he was seeing her soul directly.
