Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4576

Just then, in the Imperial Sky Palace's other court.

That other court was not as luxurious as the Jade Fairyland but radiated elegance and beauty.

Empress Heidi sat in a pavilion in the court, gazing at the view with an utmost forlorn expression.

The Nine Heaven Emperor was gone. What good was a beautiful view if there was no one to enjoy it with?

"Your Majesty!"

Just then, a figure approached slowly. He was clad in gold armor, radiating authority. It was Master Magaera.

As Master Magaera made his way forward, Empress Heidi waved a hand to dismiss the servant next to her.

Master Magaera bowed deeply. "Sorry to disturb you, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he could not help but size Empress Heidi up.

Due to the Nine Heaven Emperor's passing, Empress Heidi had changed out of her finest robes into a plain long dress for mourning. Yet her breathtaking figure remained just as visible, even radiating a different charm.

Master Magaera had always held a deep affection for Empress Heidi. Yet, due to her status, he never dared to do anything about it. Since the Nine Heaven Emperor was gone, there was one less thing for him to worry about.

However, Master Magaera knew that it was not the time to talk about romance. He was there to see Empress Heidi because of Darryl Darby.

Empress Heidi was not upset even though she sensed Master Magaera's gaze at her. She had known that Master Magaera liked her for quite some time.

Empress Heidi was quite fond of Master Magaera as well. However, she was already wedded to someone else, and thus she never gave his affections much further thought.

"You came!"

Empress Heidi waved her hand at Master Magaera, signaling no need for formalities. She said softly, "Is anything the matter?"
