Chapter 1749 “Heavenly Flame (4)”
“Miss Gu, our lord is unable to return for the time being. If you wish to see His Monarchness, the only option is to wait for now.”
Gu Ya fingers trembled as her gaze dimmed at the news. She tried her best to get that incredible man back with all her means. She succeeded and more, but now the reward was a snub by getting the cold shoulder?
In the old days, Heavenly may not like me but he would never give me such cold treatment. What happened in a single lifetime? This is not the same man I knew!
Inhaling a deep breath to gather her composure, Gu Ya forces her usual elegant smile: “Since Heavenly is busy then I will take my leave for now. I’ll come back at another time.” After saying this, she slowly walked outside the hall where an old elder was already waiting for the lady’s presence at the exit.
“Miss, were you able to meet with the monarch?” The senior quickly came up and asked.
Showing a disappointed face: “I did not sacrifice so much only to be ignored after getting him back. I want to be his wife! But somehow he’s only giving me the cold treatment….”
“Then what are your next step Milady?” There’s a touch of pain on the old senior’s face after getting this poor news.
He has been with the lady for many years so he knows how much effort and hards.h.i.+p she went through in order to revive Heavenly Flame. She deserves such a reward, there’s no question about it in this senior’s mind.
“Senior Gu Lao, are you certain you can’t find out about Heavenly’s life? Like where his parents are, or his hometown? Perhaps a offspring’s or a wife? Can’t you find out anything?”
Senior Gu Lao’s eyes dimmed over the bombardment. Shaking his head with a bitter smile: “I believe someone is deliberately erasing all traces of his connection to the mortal world. Even when I brought Heavenly Flame Monarch’s portrait for the humans to see, none could recognize him. I suspect its His Monarchness who’s behind this anomaly. He’s likely doing it to protect his family and friends.”
Gu Ya went quiet for a good while before being able to respond: “I can understand and approve of his desire to protect his mortal parents, he’s always been a righteous man. It’s why I fell in love with him…. But if he’s doing it to protect his children and wife, I….”
The thought Heavenly Flame having a wife tore at Gu Ya’s heart, sending a unbearable pain throughout those veins.
“Miss, what would you like to do if the monarch does have a wife and children?”
Gu Ya hung her head in thought at the painful question: “Heavenly is a loving person. If I move and kill his wife and children then he will surely hate me to the bone for it. That’s not what I want, but he’s the master of the domain here now. His life is unlimited, while his family are no more than mortals with a limited lifespan. They will die one day…. By then Heavenly will understand who is the most suitable for him in this world.”
Even if the man of her life has a family already, she’s not afraid. After all, time would mow over everything, and by then only she and him would remain.
Thinking up to here, Gu Ya’s depressed mood swiftly cheered up again. Making her iconic smile of elegance: “Gu Lao, we’re going back first. As for Heavenly’s past, leave it alone. If he doesn’t want anyone to discover the details then no one else can do it.”
With this spare time, I might as well think about on how to become his wife instead….
