After knowing that Kreya was in a bad mood, Kane tried to contact her from the same spot but failed.

While thinking, he left the office and returned to the Platinum Country.

The first thing he did was look for Longbei and Meizike.

"What's up, my good buddy? Is there something going on? Are you done with your work?"

Longbei's voice came from the Ruby Lapel Pin.

"Yes, I'm done, but before that, where are you guys now?"

"I'm in the mine area," said Longbei.

"Laboratory," Meizike's voice was heard.

After hearing their words, Kane said, "Tonight I need to have the Platinum Palace to myself, you guys should rest somewhere else tonight."

"Of course, no problem, my good buddy, I rarely rest in the Platinum Country at night anyway."

"Alright."

But at this time, Longbei seemed to think of something and said, "Have you decided?"

Listening to Longbei's strange words.

"What decision is there to make or not make? Not telling you now, hanging up." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

And Longbei, who was in the mine, heard Kane's response and the sound of hanging up, chuckled.

As for Kane, who had hung up, he muttered to himself.

"How is this blockhead always so perceptive at times like these?"

Kane shook his head and refocused his thoughts.

There is still more important business to handle now.

He flashed into the Platinum Palace.

And didn't sense Kreya's presence.

Kane returned first and instructed all the Ghost Maids and Moon's Child, to bring Kreya to the back courtyard when they saw her.

He then went to the back courtyard and set up a simple arrangement.

After everything was arranged, Kane returned to the Guild Hall.

He went to the bar and ordered a drink.

"What's up? You look burdened with worry," Burton asked.

Kane thought about it and recounted today's events because it seemed there wasn't anything to hide.

"That's nothing, it's a normal situation. It's not even your fault. Kreya isn't unreasonable and will definitely understand, maybe she's not even angry now,"

Burton comforted.

Moreover, Kreya's usual impression on everyone is indeed like that. Beautiful and valiant, smart and charismatic, with a very good personality and strong affinity.

It's hard to imagine Kreya would be unreasonable and angry with Kane over such an issue.

"You're right, I'm just overthinking."

Kane said, then finished his drink in one gulp, waved to Burton, and vanished.

Soon after Kane left, Kreya appeared in the Guild Hall.

And Kane had already flashed into the Platinum Palace, found the courtyard at the back with a flowing stream, and waited.

Knowing Kreya as he does, Kane is sure that in such circumstances, Kreya would return to the Platinum Country.

...

As night approached, the sky was completely dark, only the bright moonlight and the sparkling stars above.

Kane sat on the ground like this, gazing at the starry sky.

With his senses, he spread them throughout the Platinum Palace.

Prepared to monitor the palace's activities at any moment, in order to quickly detect Kreya's presence.

It's this late, why hasn't Kreya returned?

Could she really be angry?

She shouldn't be.

Soon after, Kane felt Kreya's presence within the Platinum Palace.

Along with her was Lilulu.

Immediately, through his authority, he contacted Lilulu mentally.

"Lilulu, don't ask why, go to the Fairy Tale World right now and return tomorrow."

Always subjected to Kreya's low pressure, Lilulu felt a great relief.

Loudly said to Kreya beside her, "Sister Kreya, there's something I need to do in the Fairy Tale World, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, she immediately disappeared.

And a voice was heard, "Kane told me to go quickly."

From afar, Kane heard this and was speechless.

Kreya watched Lilulu vanish and noted Lilulu's words, her lips curved slightly.

Observing the approaching Ghost Maids.

Then sensed Kane's presence.

"Lady Kreya, His Majesty Kane asked me to bring you to him."

Kreya nodded without refusing.

She directly followed the maid, arrived at the back courtyard, and sensed herself getting closer to Kane.

Then quickened her pace, reached the front of the maid, and whispered something in her ear.

A hint of pink appeared on the maid's transparent face as she nodded.

Kreya, maintaining a sulky expression outside, walked in.

Watching Kreya's arrival, Kane smiled and went to her, wanting to give her a hug.

Though Kreya's expression was sulky, she accepted Kane's hug.

"Exalted Majesty Kane, how come you're in the mood to come here? You should be focusing on diplomatic affairs."

Listening to Kreya's sarcastic tone, Kane directly held her hand, entwined his fingers with hers, and sat her down beside him.

Following Kane, Kreya sat down, as if passing through a membrane, the entire space changed.

The sky's stars transformed into the Star River.

A broad Star River hung in the cosmos, extending to unseen distances.

This was the scene when they first entered the Dungeon.

Beside them, the creek flowed past, carrying a clear and pleasant sound.

A slightly cool autumn breeze blew by, bringing the fragrant scent from the nearby flower house.

Kane at this time said, "Even a king, in these private evening hours, should be with someone important, right?"

Hearing Kane's words, Kreya turned to him.

She saw Kane staring at her intensely.

Upon seeing this gaze, Kreya immediately turned her head away.

"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮!"

She snorted lightly, expressing dissatisfaction.

Seeing Kreya's actions like this, Kane chuckled, knowing Kreya was no longer upset.

Thick-skinned, he leaned close to her, sticking to Kreya.

The two of them quietly watched the Star River above.

"Are you hungry?" Kreya suddenly asked.

"I am."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Barbecue."

"Barbecue?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

After listening to Kreya's response, Kane stood up and created a pile of burning campfire flames and a nearby barbecue stand.

Looking at such tools and the scene, Kreya smiled.

Then she took out the ingredients.

These ingredients had already been prepared and were even skewered on iron sticks.

Kreya directly picked them up and started grilling over the flames.

Watching Kreya's busy silhouette and the transparent hairpin she had pinned into her hair.

The dazzling, starry gemstone seemed to spin as if it were suspended in mid-air.

"Thinking back to the first time, I wanted to show off a bit." Kane said with a smile.

Hearing Kane's words, Kreya seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "You said you were quite knowledgeable about barbecue back then."

"Hahaha."

Kane laughed as he recalled.

At that time, he really thought he was quite knowledgeable about barbecuing.

Then he was conquered by Kreya's culinary skills.

Compared to Kreya's barbecue, his skills then were like a pile of dung.

The two of them chatted idly like this.

Soon, Kreya had already finished grilling.

Kane casually appraised the barbecue.

It turned out to be a gold-level gourmet treat.

The attached attributes were all related to physical strength, stamina, and included a special familiarity.

[Heart's Desire] (Conveys intentions, connects hearts, and blends emotions.)

Then Kreya took out two bottles of wine from her space equipment and placed them in front of them.

Looking at the wine, Kane felt it was familiar; it seemed to be Burton's treasured wine.

Kane had seen it many times at Burton's bar, and was never allowed to drink it.

He even saw it behind Burton today.

According to Burton, it seemed it was obtained from some dungeon, a silver top-grade wine.

Regardless of what level your constitution is, you can experience its exquisite taste, an extraordinary wine.

Seeing Kane's eyes, Kreya knew he had already recognized it.

"I took this out from Burton's wine cabinet behind him, not bad, right."

"Of course it's good, but didn't expect Burton to give this treasure to you, he considers these two things as precious as his children."

"Of course, after all, I'm somewhat his student."

Kreya was talking about her previous culinary lessons with Burton.

Saying this, Kreya handed one of the bottles to Kane.

Taking the bottle directly, she said to Kane, "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Kane didn't refuse and clinked glasses with Kreya.

After taking a sip, he felt the alcohol entering his body.

As expected of silver-level wine, even without suppressing his gold constitution, he could clearly feel the alcohol.

And of course, its deliciousness.

Then he took another bite of the barbecue personally grilled by Kreya.

The deliciousness, along with a sense of meaning, transmitted to his mind.

The two of them chatted and laughed casually like this.

After drinking and eating their fill, Kane was already feeling the influence of the alcohol.

He waved his hand to tidy up the scene.

Leaning against Kreya, discussing the memories from their meeting until now.

Kane tightly held Kreya's hand, their fingers interlocked tightly.

Watching Kreya's face, more beautiful under the moonlight.

"Have I told you I love you?"

"You have, but say it if you want."

"Hmm, I love you."

Listening to Kane's words, Kreya turned her head.

Leaning over, the two embraced tightly.

Under the moonlight, their shadows merged into one.

Kane felt as if he and Kreya coexisted as one.

He could feel Kreya's affection, rushing in like a tide.

Kreya felt the same in her heart.

Their hearts connected at this moment.

The two of them disappeared from where they were and appeared inside the palace.

On Kane's enormous cloud bed.

Huh?

Why is there no one in the Platinum Palace?

Oh well.

It doesn't matter at all.

Looking at what's in front, in his arms.

Kreya's blushing cheeks, Kane felt deeply captivated.

His entire heart was filled by it.

"You're truly beautiful."

"Then, what are you waiting for?"

In the boundless starry sky, the cool moonlight cast a gentle glow.

Illuminating the Platinum Palace that floated above the clear lake.

Gentle murmurs softly emanated.

...

Approaching dawn, the Platinum Palace had regained its liveliness.

Kane could already feel the ghost maids outside who had returned.

Looking at the face of Kreya, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, leaning against his chest.

Now, Kane's wisdom had regained the upper hand.

Damn!

It turns out I'm the prey!

But.

Who cares.

Re-entering the covers.

Another epic battle ensued.
