7 Leaving.

Leona came with Emma to see Vlad a few days before he had to leave, she pushed Emma forward saying : "Take her with you."

Emma was also 16 years old. After finding a suitable body art and techniques for her, she turned out to much more of a genius than Viktor, of course Vlad was a special case. Her progress was faster than Viktor hence she was able to catch up with him at transcended rank 3.

Due to continuous training, both body and etiquette, she grew up to become extremely beautiful. She still had long silky black hair tied at the end and as she was nearing origin realm her black eyes shone with the affinities she trained in. Though she could not be called busty, she had long legs and perfect curves. Due to this she was taller than most other ladies Vlad had met.

Vlad smiled after hearing his mother and said while looking at Emma, : "I don't mind, rather I have grown accustomed to her care and was going to ask her if she wants to come with me, so do you want to, Emma?"

Emma : (bowing slightly) "Yes, young master, I want to follow you, please let me."

As Emma was bowing, she was also smiling and was very happy hearing what Vlad had just said.

Vlad : (smiling) "Again, I don't mind rather as I've already said I enjoy your company and care and also, (squinting slightly) don't call me young master, you will be mine sooner or later so call me Vlad."

Emma started blushing and Leona was surprised at how straightforward her son was while Viktor, who came just in time to hear Vlad's 'confession', was laughing.

Viktor : (still laughing) "I knew it, you definitely had a thing for Emma from the start."

Vlad : (smiling) "Not from the start, it developed after a year. Now that I can be considered an adult, I can court her as much as I want."

While Emma was blushing, Vlad was thinking : 'Ah, I really want to kiss her.' and seeing the amorous glances between Vlad and Emma, Leona started to frown.

Leona : "Vlad, while I myself like Emma very much, it will not be fair to her as you will not be able to give her an equal status."

Emma had her head down, but Vlad could tell that she was a bit sad, so he said : "What do you mean by that mother, Emma can be considered a once in a century genius and is also very beautiful, I don't see why I will not be able to give her some lousy status. In the first place it's not like I will become the king or a leading figure in the kingdom so that I will need to maintain a public image, therefore I don't really care and neither should you (looking at Emma)."

Viktor : (nodding) "If someone dare spread stupid rumors I'll punish them myself."

Leona : "Aren't you two in perfect sync."

Vlad and Viktor started laughing while Leona started whispering to Emma, Vlad could hear something about keeping him in check and looking at Emma seriously nodding she seems to completely agree.

Leona : "As I've said, I myself like Emma a lot that's why I chose her in the first place. She being with you also makes me happy. So if Emma is alright with it, I will gladly give both of you my blessings."

By the end of it Leona was already hugging Emma while Emma was smiling and blushing. Vlad really wanted to kiss her right now since she looked too cute.

A few days later Vlad was ready to leave, he appointed Morgan as the one to report to his father. After saying goodbye to his family he left with Emma on a single horse. On his way outside, many workers were surprised to see such a handsome boy riding a horse with a beautiful girl in his arms. Some of the older maids recognized Emma, as she was personally trained by the head maid and they also knew that she was the personal caretaker of the sickly second prince. It didn't take long for them to realize that the handsome boy they were admiring was their sickly second prince.
