"Thank you," Rivera thanked Empress Lihua once they met on the celestial palace. Lihua left immediately with Tai soon after the funeral was cancelled. And it was the greatest relief for the Water Realm to have had things in their own way. The interruption has been resolved with the help of the Empress itself.
"I have to thank you, if I didn't know about it, i wouldn't have been able to protect my own son," she said finally, giving in to Rivera.
"Am glad we have had that conversation,"
"I know you will be, " Empress smirked and looked away. "You always enjoyed ruling over me and sabotaging me,"
"What nonsense?" Rivera asked back. "Sabotaging you, if I wanted to really, if I did some stuff back at school when I caught you and Dritan, I could have seen you living well better than this," Rivera told straight to her face.
