Emperor Valentine was about to approach Beatrix when the captain of the ship talked to him about his food and room accommodation. The talk with the ship's captain is just short but when they are done and he was about to approach her, she was not there anymore!

When the ship was about to sink and he saw her fall to the water, he did not think twice and immediately jumped to save her!

Beatrix, I was not able to see you in person for a long time but I know what I feel for you! I want to be with you! Just the two of us on this deserted island... Away from all the complications of the outside world even for a short amount of time...

Emperor Valentine thought as he stared at her sleeping form after his subordinates are already gone!

Emperor Andrew together with his regular and special troops roamed the Sky Empire with the help of his expert pathfinders to trace the path Beatrix and Prince Anders chose when they run away. These pathfinders are Emperor Andrew's secret group of elite soldiers that are talented in finding tracks of a specific person! They are like sniffing dogs that once they sniff a personal property of a person they could easily track that person's scent even though the scent is left in a specific place and object for several months!

Day by day, they successfully traced the specific path and places where Beatrix and Prince Anders stopped by! Every time they discover a village or town along the path, the soldiers would capture everyone! The people trembled in fright, especially the women but when they see the appearance of Emperor Andrew, their fear turned into a hope that their appearance can enchant this powerful entity! In their hearts, even if they become his concubine or bed warmer, they will consider it as great fortune but their expectations were trampled on the ground when he just simply glanced at them once!

Emperor Andrew checked their faces one by one, hoping that one of them is his beloved Beatrix or his annoying brother, Prince Anders. Once he verified that none of them is the one he is looking for, he will immediately let them see portraits of two people and interrogate the villagers for any information. If they cooperate immediately, he would let them live and proceed to another place but if he sensed that they are not being truthful and just wasting his precious time, he always makes sure that the whole village suffered complete annihilation and destruction!

He and his troops did this method until they reached Vallia and encountered the group of warrior women. This group of more than eight hundred fierce women provided a slight resistance but since they are completely outnumbered as one versus one thousand, they suffered a crushing defeat!

Most of these brave women chose to die fighting until their number went down from more than eight hundred to only three women! Those three women are Leader Maia and her two personal bodyguards. They were prevented from committing suicide and were captured alive and pushed in front of the leader of this merciless army! When Leader Maia and her two bodyguards saw the appearance of the person in front of them, they were extremely shocked!

Andy?!! No! He cannot be Andy... He only look similar to Andy but this person is completely different!!!

They immediately thought when they saw him and felt his domineering look and overbearing aura!

Emperor Andrew noticed their reaction and he immediately realized that these three women knew something about his beloved Beatrix and Imperial Brother, Prince Anders. He presented the portraits of Beatrix and Prince Anders to the three women.

"Based on your reaction, you should have seen these two people. The man is my Imperial Brother, Prince Anders while the woman is my Imperial Wife, Empress Beatrix." Emperor Andrew directly told them.

Leader Maia laughed heartily when she heard it. She did not know the whole story but she could already guess some parts of the story! Emperor Andrew maintained his cold attitude and did not speak or do anything, he just coldly stared while sitting on his exquisite chair fit for a traveling monarch. When she continued laughing like a lunatic, she was mercilessly slapped so hard by one of the elite soldiers! Maia spat out the blood in her mouth produced by the strong slap!

"That is nonsense! What you said is pure nonsense!" She replied and continued to mock him but was kicked in the stomach by another elite soldier! She coughed several times before she continue to speak. "It is really funny since Sister Bea told us another story... She told us that Andy... Anders... or whatever his name is! She told us that your brother is her man! If that is the case, that would make you the delusional other man!!!" She declared and continued laughing! Her laughing was happily joined by her two female bodyguards!
