The Emperor Who Loves Me Dearly

Golden rays started peeking through the wide window, highlighting the features of the beautiful couple, the fair lady wearing only an oversized t-shirt and short shorts is having a wonderful dream, drools started to fall on her delicate face whereas the man on her side is unable to move due to what he deemed as 'feeble' head on his arms.

The man is secretly chuckling while staring at the young lady's open mouth, some words were spoken vaguely by her such as, "more cake please, ", "Adam don't touch there!", and "Ashley stop touching him!"

Adam doesn't really know whether Celestia's having a nightmare or a good one, it's hard to guess by just her mumbling.

He's amused at how a person can dream, he never had one, never remember he did.

"Hmmm," the tigress hugs him tighter, their body against each other.

He gently strokes her long golden hair. His heart flutters every time he is with her, a feeling he is now getting used to. He wishes that time will freeze, that they can stay together like this, no problems and misunderstandings.

He knows what he wishes for is impossible, naive in fact but can you blame him for just wanting to hold her longer? To stay with her as much as possible?

His mind is in chaos right now, something inside him is starting to wake up as if the time for his memories to return will come sooner than later.

"Hmm, A-Adam? Are you awake?" her sweet mellow voice gained his attention.

He smiled gently and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Yes," he swiftly said, still stroking his tigress' long hair.

"Let's get up after a few minutes, I'm going to dye my hair..."

Celestia buries her head on his c.h.e.s.t and started to sniff his scent more, his intoxicating smell.

She smells a hint of vanilla from Adam which is given knowing that it is the flavor of soap and shampoo that they are both using but she also smells something more, peppermint? musk? She's not really sure but she loves it.

"I'm done! So what's your opinion? Is it good? Ted?" she showed them her newly dyed hair, it's now color black. It will be like this until Ashley goes away.

The three of them also brought a couple ring with Adam and Celestia's name engraved on the inside, only that, Celestia's name is written as Eve.

This is to tell a more believable story and also her name will be Eve for the meantime.

"OMG, you are so pretty girl, I think I'm straight again" Ted jumps up and down as he praises Celestia's new hair.

Black hair color emphasized her emerald eyes, making them brighter than before.

"Thank you, Ted, but no, I'm already married right?" she raised her right hand, wriggling it, showing her ring with Adam's name on it.

"Don't you think that Ashley will see through our lies if we use Adam and Eve as our name?" she questioned again, making sure that they will succeed.

I mean, almost everyone knows the story of Adam and Eve right?

"Nah, she won't see it, she's dumb," Ted shooed the thought away.

One may not see the similarities between Ted and his younger sister, after all, Ted is a well-known surgeon and doctor in Thusha while his younger sister, Ashley, although an international model, did not pursue any college, heck, she didn't even finish her middle school. She learned how to rebel against their parents at the young age of fifteen. Making her the black sheep in the entire Perez clan.

It is only when she became famous, the Perez family accepted her again.

They are not that close to each other, but Ashley still occasionally went on Ted's secret house for sanctuary or to hide from media when she gets in trouble which is usual. Nonetheless, Ted accepts his sister, he loves her for whoever she became, everyone is unique in their own way, he thought.

To make his sister believe in their story, they planned carefully for the past three days. What they came up with is that Adam and Celestia, Eve rather, are a couple who got lost in the forest, their car got stuck and they wandered for a while before finally meeting Ted.

Ted, being the kindhearted person he is, took the couple to stay in his house for a few more days just until their chauffeur come. They decided that the young couple are business owners in the Theavarian Empire and is only waiting for their driver to come.

Traveling from Empire to Thusha takes two to five days of land travel and only a day and a half when traveled using a plane.

Everything is mostly settled, they changed Celestia's hair because it is known in the Thusha Kingdom that only royals are born with natural golden hair. The dye will wear off after a week and by that time, hopefully, Ashley is no longer in Ted's house.
