The morning came quickly, and by now, it was slowly nearing the hour for Leo"s group to arrive. Having told the others about his greatest secret, Evan felt a little less congested, especially as he recalled the expressions of shock on their faces. At this time, he was lying down with Layla in his embrace, the beautiful and slender frame was as prominent as ever in his eyes, causing him to caress her curvy waist with his fingers as her flowery scent wafted into his nose.The lights from the sun s.h.i.+ning upon her graceful figure as it showered her in a dazzling radiance, each strand of her silk-like purple hair glistening with vitality as did her moist and soft skin.
As if roused by his touch, Layla, whose head rested on his chest, fidgeted before turning red. She looked up at his face with a flushed appearance, her two distinct hazel and ruby eyes flas.h.i.+ng in an enchanting ray as she opened her lush red lips and spoke in her lovely voice, "Y-You"re so naughty in the morning... "
Evan smirked and replied while using his fingers to dance on her body, "Well, you know the saying, "a man rises first at dawn," it can"t be helped that an angel like you has me bewitched to this state..."
When Layla heard his words, she felt a bit fl.u.s.tered and looked down, seeing what he meant by "rising," she buried her head in his chest as her heart rate sped up when she spoke, "Y-you pervert! What am I to do if you keep pressing my limits?"
Evan chuckled at her words as he lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead and spoke in a teasing tone, "What else is there? Ha, you could try to resist if you wanted, but we both know where that ends..."
Layla lowered her head in an embarra.s.sed manner, as she knew herself well; even when saying no, she"ll react differently, taking direct action in her own special ways.
Evan chuckled at this sight; he played with her hair before leaving the bed and spoke, "Well, the sun is out, and we"ve been up for a quite a while... let"s get ready, I"m sure that Leo and his friends should be arriving in less than an hour"s time."
"Aw... fine," Layla said in a disgruntled manner, she hurriedly got up and changed before sneakily leaving his room, peeking at him from the corner of the door as she stuck out her tongue and ran away.
"This la.s.s..." Evan muttered as saw this, his chest felt a tinge of flames as he recalled last night"s wild activities, but he did his very best to calm down and ease his manly spirit.
He went towards the window, gazing at the scene outside in silence, noting the s.h.i.+ning lights on the gla.s.ses of many twisted shapes structures, and the myriad of flying vehicles and crowd that were roaming the skies and the ground.
As Evan swept by all of these, his eyes s.h.i.+fted towards the twin twisted buildings that loomed over everything as he thought with a strange glint in his eyes, "Hall of Governance... let"s see what happens today."
Following his words, a cool wind swept from the outside, brus.h.i.+ng his brown hair as he closed his eyes, basking in the rare mood.

When Layla left the private room that Leo had stealthy reserved, she sneakily moved through the corridor heading towards Emilia and Breya"s room. Upon opening the door, she found that Emilia was still sleeping, but Breya was nowhere to be noticed.
Layla heaved a sigh of relief, but soon Emilia jumped out of her sheets and stared at her with a strange look.
Layla was startled, but Emilia only smiled and spoke, "Sister Layla, what"s wrong? Did you not go to see Evan?"
Layla felt a bit awkward being spoken to so directly, she sat down and answered after calming down, "Y-yes, we talked for a bit..."
Emilia giggled at this and replied with a naughty look, "Talk? Hehe, Layla, maybe next time you do your meet up, choose a more remote and quieter place, my spirits do more than echo dangers..."
Layla felt embarra.s.sed hearing this as she didn"t know such a thing would happen, still, even so, she sucked up her mood and stared at Emilia and spoke, "Emmy, you have to keep this hidden, okay."
Emilia hearing her words shook her head and replied with a s.h.i.+fty look far different from her typical innocent one, "Fine, but Layla, I"ll need you to do a favor for me at a certain time..."
Layla felt strange seeing this kind of Emilia, she asked with a puzzled expression, "A favor? What kind?"
Emilia made a strange smile as she walked over and bent forward, showing her gorgeous body as the sheet fell down her figure.
She then began to whisper a few words to Layla, whose face changed to shock, horror, then pity. No one knew who she pitied, but one thing was certain, someone was destined to have a terrible fate in the not too far off future.

The two continued to speak about a tabooed topic, on the outside, Joe, Rick, and Breya were already up and were waiting in the main room.
Joe was currently fidgeting as if he was bored; he looked around as saw that Rick was reading today"s news on the tablet device, Breya, however, tapped away at a gadget connected with square-shaped chips surrounded by electronic tools.
"Darn it"s so boring, what"s taking Emmy, Evan and the others so long to get here?" Joe asked with a frown on his face.
Breya, who was busy, glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and spoke, "If you"re that bored, you might as well come and help me out..."
Joe rolled his eyes and replied, "And destroy whatever it is your doing? Heh, no need, I think I"ll just stay here and not get in your way."
Though Joe said this, however, his mind had another thought, "Hmph! You want to trick me into something, don"t think I"ll fall prey so easy..."
He knew Breya and Evan were up to no good, so he determined to keep himself at a certain distance until he grasped the plot in the making.
Breya hearing his words and seeing his look frowned as she thought, "He"s grown cautious, that"s not good... looks like I"ll need to use a harsher approach..."
As Breya said this, her eyes flashed strangely, but she no longer focused on Joe. Instead, she focused on the device, trying to copy over all the data to her mini-computer.
Rick pretended that he didn"t hear their words, he scanned the entire news details but didn"t see so much of a mention about that strange ambush last night. He frowned as he thought, "It"s as we"ve thought, they are more troublesome than necessary..."
As Rick wrapped up his thoughts, he lifted his head to look at the corridor. There, Evan had appeared with a cool expression. Breya and Joe also gave Evan a deep look, but no one said anything out of hand as they had already calmed down and accepted things.
Evan looked at everyone and nodded as he spoke, "I see you"re all up; that"s good; we have a long day ahead of us."
"So, it would seem," Rick said as he tossed Evan the tablet.
Evan, who caught it quickly glossed over the details and knew what Rick was hinting towards, he shook his head and spoke, "Let"s see what they"re really up to... Layla and Emilia should be ready by now as well, all that"s left is for Leo..."
Evan was about to say something, but a knocking sound was heard at the door, causing him to halt his words as a smile came on his face.
"Hey, are you guys up? It"s about time for us to get going!" Leo"s sound sounded from behind the door.
Evan shook his head and thought, "Well, speak of the devil... they"re earlier than I thought. I wonder what"s keeping Emilia and Layla?"
As Evan thought this, he hurriedly went and opened the door, Leo then entered with Julie and Razel, as it seemed that Oron and Irene were already waiting outside.
Leo looked and saw that two were missing; he made a puzzled look as he spoke, "Where are the others?"
Evan shrugged as prepared to say he didn"t know what was keeping them, but right this time, both Layla and Emilia had appeared.
As if knowing they were late, both Layla and Emilia spoke in apology, "Sorry, we had to deal with a few things."
Leo seeing the two beauties smiled and spoke, "Haha, no problem, no problem, come on everyone, let"s get a move on it, we have to be there before the crowd starts to gather it will be a long meeting."
When Leo said this, he along with Julie and Razel began to lead the way, Evan looked at Breya who placed away her gadgets before joining everyone as the entire party left the room.
Once they arrived outside, they each got inside of a luxury flying car that Oron and Irene were already seated in. It took off into the air, soaring towards the Hall of Governance, as everyone looked at the distant but nearing building with thoughtful eyes, each prepared to experience a meeting like never before.
