Chapter 159: The Real Esmeralda (2)

"You are back so quickly." Laofen said in an impressed tone as she looked at Kai who was standing with Levina, Watanabe, and Kiana behind him.

"It was an easy job. I just had to negotiate a little." Kai said with a smile as Laofen wondered what Kai's method of negotiation was.

"Sorry for interrupting your highness, but you believe actually believe that this man managed to broker a truce between two nations that have been at war for centuries?" One of the members of Laofen's council asked in disbelief as he couldn't believe the amount of trust Laofen was showing towards Kai.

"I believe him when he says that he did it. If you have any problem, you can go check the land of lightning and earth yourself." Laofen replied as the elf settled down with an embarrassed expression.

But another elf stood up as soon as the first one had sat down. She looked at the clothes Kai and the girls were wearing then looked at Laofen with a confused look.

"Your highness, why are they wearing the clothes of ambassadors?" The elf asked as Laofen smiled.

"It's cause I have given them the rank and title of an ambassador. They are capable people and have great control over their respective elements. If I had to describe their abilities in detail, I would say that the three girls you see can defeat most of you guys here. As for Kai, he can pretty much one-shot all of you." Laofen said with a calm look as the entire council plunged into silence. 

"Even though I hate to admit this but I will still tell everyone here that her majesty is correct." Jiakzin said as the elves started wondering what was so special about Kai that he was so powerful.

"Laofen, do you mind if I make some changes to this dress?" Kai asked Laofen as she nodded.

He then waved his hand over the coat as more symbols appeared on top of it. Most of the elves immediately stood up as they saw the symbols.

The coat had turned into a lightning purple coat that matched Kai's hair and eyes while eight symbols were visible in a circle around the heart area of it. In the middle of the coat, a swirling void of mist was visible.

(AN: check this paragraph comment for all the symbols on the coat.)

"That's the dress of a sacred ambassador!" An elf exclaimed as Kai nodded and lifted up his right hand.

His fingers lit with five different elements as he raised his other hand and three of his fingers lit with the remaining elements.

And with that, Kai gave Laofen a small bow and teleported himself and the girls out of the now silent and jaw-dropped throne room.

"He always manages to surprise you no matter what you think." Jiakzin muttered with a dark chuckle as he broke the silence and turned towards Laofen.

"If Kai had really cleared the issue of the land of lightning and landed of earth, please send him to check up on them after a few days." Jiakzin said with a low bow as Laofen nodded and the court slowly got back to its daily proceedings.

"I thought that you hated wearing anything other than your normal clothes." Watanabe said to Kai as soon as they appeared in the room Esmeralda was resting in.

"I usually dislike robes and old-fashioned clothes. Otherwise, I can wear anything that looks good to me." Kai replied to her question as he moved forward and laid a hand on Esmeralda's forehead.

The other moved out of the room as they let Kai and Esmeralda spend some time together with each other.

But Kai narrowed his eyes as Esmeralda didn't wake up. He closed his eyes and searched her body thoroughly but found nothing wrong with it.

As he was doing that, her eyes suddenly flew open as they looked at Kai with mixed expressions.

"On no. Did I forcefully broke her memory seal?" Kai muttered to himself as he saw Esmeralda's eyes being filled with joy and hate.

"I hate you. Why did you kill my brother?" Esmeralda suddenly said as her eyes became filled with hatred.

"That's not me. Don't take those words seriously." She suddenly said as her face looked pained.

It was as though they were two different versions of Esmeralda present in front of Kai. One of them was the original one and the other was the one who had been living on the land of death.

This was happening because her memory seal hadn't been properly broken. Half of her memories had been recovered but they were clashing with the current ones.

Usually, when a member of Kai's harem got her memories back, she would turn back to her original self and would have all of her old memories as well as her new memories.

But because of the forced breaking of the seal, Esmeralda was stuck between her new life and old life as her mind struggled to focus on either one of them.

Kai looked at her face with a sad expression as he knocked her unconscious. He bent down and touched his forehead with hers as he closed his eyes.

He suddenly appeared inside Esmeralda's mind as he saw two Esmeraldas standing in front of him.

Both looked the same in appearance but one was staring at him with hatred while the other one was happy to look at him.

"First you took away everything from me and you are now taking away my life too?!" The hate-filled Esmeralda screamed at Kai as he looked at her with a sad expression. 

"None of this would have happened to you if not for my carelessness. I wish that I could blame it on someone else but I don't even remember what happened. So in the end, I am the only one to blame for everything." Kai said sincerely to both of them as the place plunged into silence.

"I will show you how close we were before everything happened. Let's take a visit to my memories." Kai suddenly said to both of them as he closed his eyes and teleported them away from Esmeralda's mind.
