“I’ve met her a few times,” Alex replied.
Xerxes nodded. “That’s great. I’ll give you a ring afterward, so please pass it on to her and say… You know what, don’t say anything.”
Unable to bear it any further, Alex asked, “What is the matter with you and Commander Benm ore? And what about you and Mandy?”
Xerxes sighed as if reminiscing the past. “There’s too much to explain. There are so many blunders in life, Jade and Mandy are childhood friends. And I was unfaithful to Mandy.”
Alex was shocked. “Did Commander Benmore really seduce her best friend’s husband?”
Xerxes shook his head. “It’s not like that. It’s… All just tragedies. Alright, let’s not speak about this.”
‘F*ck, another vague answer. It’s so annoying.’
The conversation ended before they reached the climax. Sometime later, the chair rumbled and landed with a loud thud. Alex and Xerxes stopped talking and focused… They couldn’t help feeling nervous.
They heard voices outside.
“Is the consort in here?”
“Yes.”
“Great, bring him in immediately and bath him in the Pool of Forgotten Love. I heard he had a human wife before this, and they were close. That’s definitely not allowed. Consorts must be loyal to the princess.”
Alex and Xerxes were shocked when they heard this.
‘Pool of Forgotten Love?’
It was unbelievable that such a thing that could make one forget their feelings existed.
Xerxes couldn’t accept this one bit.
Then, they heard someone else say, “Grand Preceptor, the Pool of Forgotten Love seems unclean now. During the process, it might also wash away normal memories or even cause amnesia. The person wouldn’t even remember who they are.”
The Grand Preceptor answered, “That’s fine. Amnesia would be the best anyway.”
A living human turned to a bone dragon, his appearance, flesh, and blood all disappeared.
Alex was dumbfounded.
However, right then, a dark-skinned large hand appeared and clasped Xerxes’ neck, interrupting his Dragonification. Another hand reached in and grabbed Alex.
The chains broke, and the two were dragged out.
A soldier that was eight meters tall captured them in his hands.
“Throw them into the pool!”
Splash!
Right then, a delicate voice rang suddenly in Alex’s ear.
“It’s really the Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness! Even the heavens are on my side!”
