Riana look around her and for a mont she was surprised before she finally knows where she is.
Inside the Grain Palace, she could not see the outside. Actually, there is a function to see the outside but she did not have the full control of the Grain Palace.
Not to ntion she was unconscious in there. Inside the Grain Palace, there is a large patch of land, floating mountains and waterfall falling from the side of the mountains.
Clouds filling the artificial sky of the Grain Palace like it is a separate world. It was like the entrance to Heavenly Palace
Immortal air and chaos energy seems to exist side by side harmoniously
Loki had made many adjustnts inside the Grain Palace. She only notices this later when she was conscious again.
Her child seems to be guarded by sentient beast that live inside the Grain Palace. And when she was conscious she finally realizes that there were Nathan also in the Grain Palace
The ti in the Grain Palace differs heavily from outside the Grain Palace. Loki did not only change the interior of the Grain Palace; he had also changes the Laws inside the Grain Palace.
To her, she has been spending ti inside the Grain Palace for a few hours already. But she still did not feel at ease because she did not know what Loki is planning.
Even when Nathan got up, he also did not exactly understand what Loki was trying to do. But then they were suddenly ejected out from the Grain Palace.
She saw Trisha, her older sister near the door of the office. And she shakes her head, a bitter smile on her face.
Trisha look at the baby and she smiles
She co closer to her second sister and said
‘Let hold her. Let see my niece’ Seeing how happy Trisha look, it releases a certain heaviness from Riana heart.
Riana smiles and she gave her daughter for Trisha. Trisha put the baby in her arms as she slowly rocks her from side to side
Then Trisha looks at Loki and said
‘I’ll give ti for you to explain to them. I will bring her to the nursery. It is better to let her sleep’ Loki once again raised his eyebrows
‘We have a nursery?’
Trisha smiles and nodded.
‘There is many staff. And it is not like we forbid office romance. My lord should really co here more often instead of always coming here when you need sothing’
Loki just shakes his head as Trisha go out of the room and close the door.
Now inside the room there is only three people
There is Loki. There is Riana. And there is Nathan who is looking at the office with a look of utter amazent
He then looks back at Loki and said
‘I thought that you kill ’
Loki only smiles but he did not explain anything as he clicks his finger and poof two chairs materialized in front of the table on the opposite side from where Loki is standing.
Both of them sit down as they look at Loki who is also slowly sit down at his chair. There is a smile on his face
For a mont, Loki only look at their face and did not say anything. Nathan was uncomfortable with the long silence and the staring but he did show it in his face
Riana on the other hand look down at her chair, not daring to see Loki
And then he said
‘You see, I, Loki, even though I killed quite a lot of people, most of the people I killed are criminal, evil people. There is rarely a ti where I kill soone who is innocent, who is unrelated to the business I have. I prefer to find another way. And there is always another way’ he said smiling
Nathan and Riana could only listen as Loki continued
‘I need people to believe that I kill you. That, I, as you so eloquently said, beco one of them. A monster. I need the world to believe in it. But- ‘
And Loki look at Riana and sighed
‘But, you are my daughter lover. At least before I knew that you were her husband. My plan was a bit different than what I have executed. I planned for the world to believe that you and Riana both died under my hands. That is the original plan’
Hearing this Riana was shocked.
Loki smiles gently at her and said
‘I wish to use that death so you could free yourself and live freely in this world. I never expected that you have a child. And, if I kill you even as I know that you have a daughter, that is too big of a leap for those cri lords to believe. They might believe that I could kill one innocent man. They might believe that I could kill you both in a bout of anger.’
‘But they would not believe that I would harm a daughter of mine who had a child. It is out of character of to do such things. Those cri lords also know that I would never do such a thing. Because I have done a lot of business with them’
‘Instead of making them convinced, it might backfire. So, I had to improvise on the spot’
‘If not for that one mistake, both of you could retire freely right now’
Riana finally understand what her father had done. She looks at her father and there is tears on both of her eyes, dropping down
Loki saw it and he shakes his head.
Nathan then frowned as he tried to make sense of it all and then he asks
‘then, why did you look like you were really going to kill ?’ Loki then began explaining to both of them that the Cri Alliance would surely investigate this matter
From what Loki had known about the Cri Alliance, they have soone who could see through the past.
At this, Nathan also rember that there is such a guy among the employs of the Cri Lords.
As such, Loki had to pretend, to make his acting really real, that he truly had the killing intent and desire to destroy the Broker.
But because of the surge of energy, the things they said would be garbled.
That is why Loki keep releasing powerful surge of energy around him
To distort the possible complete investigation
And with a little bit of manipulation of Truth by Loki, the vision that investigator would have would corroborate his story
He needed to threaten and appear to kill Nathan to make sure that the investigators are convinced of the story and for him to finally gain the respect of the Cri Lords
The reason why Loki knows so much about the investigator is because Loki had t him once in his tiline. Of course, this part of the story he did not share with Riana.
Nathan leaned back on his chair and shakes his head while smiling.
He closes his eyes and sigh. But on his face there is a smile. With Loki plans, right now, the whole world had believed that he had died.
It is just a pity that Riana did not die too. If not, both of them could retire from the tumultuous era that is about to co.
This is why when Loki relayed the news to Trisha that Nathan had died, instead of feeling sad, Trisha was feeling happy.
Because she knew that now Nathan is free. But then Nathan have another question
He then sits back straight up, stare at Loki and ask
‘Then, why did you hit so hard? And making all of that drama like you were really going to kill ? Is it simply because you wanted to make the investigator believe your narrative?’
At this, Loki stares back at Nathan and said
‘You married my daughter without telling . I think a little bit of punishnt was needed, don’t you think?’ He said as he looks at Riana and Riana blushed
He pointed his finger at Riana and wave it up and down at her
‘You……what a headache’ Then Loki laugh.
Loki too leaned on his chair.
It is a pity that he could not make Riana retire with this event but there is still ti before the First Sovereign is born.
He needs to prepare for these three sisters.
He had hoped that he could kill Riana and make the world believe she is dead so that when the ti cos, she would not get involved in what is about to happen.
But, it has to be change a bit.
This is also because he just had changed to Number Two. Certain mories did not manifest yet and the old mories is just acclimatizing.
As such, his calculation hit so snag.
Nathan is now relaxed a bit.
He did not like that Loki had make him suffer such pain but he could sohow understand.
And only now that he rembers that Loki could be considered his father in law.
Even though Riana is not related at all to Loki, they were many tis that Riana said she wish her father could attend her wedding.
It is clear that Riana very much treated Loki as her father.
She wanted his love, his blessing and his approval. Yet at the sa ti, she also fears that he would be disappointed at her.
