THE DARKEST CONJURATION ( Stuck With The Immortal Emperor)

★★★★★TWO WEEKS AGO**LINGYAN VILLAGE, A SMALL INN**

Zhuri was in the backyard working herself out as usual,even though her aunt,Sabrina,who's the owner of the inn is capable of getting workers to work for her,still,she never got any. Zhuri work all day with no rest,she serve the customers,do the cleaning and the cooking and so on. Sabrina have a girl who's same age as Zhuri,Inaya. But she's like the princess of the house,she never do a thing,in a word,Zhuri can also be seen as a maid in there,maybe a slave might be better coz at least maids get paid but Zhuri doesn't. As Zhuri cleaned,her stomach kept making noise continuously,who would believe her if she told them she ate about thirty hours ago?? Well that's how she starves everyday. She live on the leftovers from the customers and even sometimes Sabrina would choose to bring up her wicked act and dispose the leftovers just for her to starve. Unending punishments without a reason. Zhuri's only sin is that she's an orphan,Sabrina would mention it every chance she gets that she was the reason why her parents died. Poor Zhuri would cry her eyes out and would later stop because there's obviously no one to console her. Moments later,Zhuri heard some footsteps coming closer to her and she looked back to see Inaya approaching her. She wore a beautiful red dress,her hair was looking so shiny,she's just gorgeous. Unlike her who only have one hanfu,it's torn on most parts,her shoes are tattered and her hair is unkept every time because she doesn't even have time for herself. Her body is full of scars from the beatings,her face is so rough and she feels so ugly compared to Inaya. "Hey loser" Inaya smirked. Zhuri said nothing."You have customers to serve,so follow me" Inaya said. "What happened to you? Why must I be the only one? You can see I'm working......."Inaya shifted closer"Do you want it the hard way?" She whispers into her ear. "So you better hurry up,mother will be here soon" She smiled and walked away. Zhuri swallowed and got up,she knows better than ignoring Sabrina's call,she would be dead if she doesn't show up in a minute from now. She wiped her sweat tiredly and Left the backyard. She walked into the inn and went straight to Sabrina. "I'm here" Zhuri muttered. Sabrina gave her an angry glare but didn't say a word,she pushed the tray in her hand to Zhuri's chest. "Room 103...you better do well this time or you're dead as your mother in hell" Sabrina said. Zhuri bowed and immediately walked away,she could feel some pains under her feet but this isn't the time to check yet. She finally stopped in front of the room and knocked gently,she heard a deep voice telling her to enter,she opened the door and went in. A middle aged man was laying on the bed,definitely one of the usual merchants that patronizes them from time to time,his long hair and full beards looks irritating to Zhuri that she felt like poking,or is it because she's hungry like an homeless child? The man grinned weirdly at Zhuri as she dropped his meals. "Sabrina always have the most beautiful maidens,even though you're unkept right now,I don't mind" He said and Zhuri bashed her lashes in shock. She don't want to believe it's whatever she's thinking in her head right now....Did Sabrina sell her out to this man? "I will leave now" Zhuri immediately bowed and turned to go but the man grabbed her hand and pulled her back on the bed. "Where are you going? Don't you know what to do again?" He asked and tried placing his lips on hers. "Please stop!" Zhuri screamed and pushed him away forcefully with tears rolling down her eyes. The man landed a slap on her face and pushed her aggresively on the bed. "No!!! Please!!" Zhuri screamed with the remaining strength inside her. She could remember the first time she got raped by one of their customers, Sabrina had told her to serve him as usual,unknown to Zhuri that it was all a set up. He was too strong for her and he had his way,it was so painful that she cried for days,she was traumatized since then,she sworn never to experience such pain again and now this??"No!!!" Zhuri was still struggling with him,the man was at the point of tearing her dress completely but somehow she got the strength and she pushed him off herself,she kicked his middle and ran out of the room in heavy tears. At this point,she was finally done. Nobody has to tell her again that she's not wanted there,she would die and Sabrina wouldn't even blink out a tear. She's a nobody who will definitely die as a nobody. But Zhuri wasn't ready to die,even if death comes knocking,she should die as a strong woman,a noble woman,not this way. She found her way out of the inn,crying as she ran to where she doesn't even know. She was on the run for a while till she got a place to sit and rest,her breathe was draining away slowly. **It's been hours since she was seated in the same position,where would she go? It was already getting dark. But then all of a sudden she remembered and old lady she had met few weeks back,she sounded like a seer and her words to Zhuri were..."YOUR FATE IS A DANGEROUS ONE BUT IF YOU ARE READY TO FACE IT,YOU MIGHT BE SAVED" Zhuri got up almost immediately and started another run,she saw the lady on her way back from the stream that night but where would she find her now? Strangely she saw some lanterns burning from afar,she had to stop running because this road is usually lonely and quiet,but where's that light coming from,? She started walking slowly then she saw a lady selling some old treasures,Zhuri wondered why one would even think of selling here,nobody is passing. Nevertheless,she greeted with a bow and continue walking. "You look like someone who's ready to face her fate" The lady said and Zhuri immediately turned. "How.....how did you...." She stammered,right in front of her the lady changed to the old woman she met. Zhuri immediately ran to her,breathing heavily."Old one....please....help" She broke into tears. The woman smile."You sound desperate" She said. "Yes I am...I'm dying slowly old one,I might not even last till the next full moon,I feel weaker every passing second,it's draining inside my soul,please" Zhuri cried. The old woman said nothing,she only watched her. "What am I supposed to do old one? I'm ready" Zhuri said in tears as she stood in front of the woman who smiled sinlessly. "Are you saying this because of the pains?" "Yes.....""But who said you won't pass through pain where you're going?" Zhuri said nothing. "Think carefully before you make your decision child.....""I don't think there's any other pain greater than the ones I've passed through,my whole life,as long as I will have you by my side,then please take me away from here" "It's a journey to a dry tree" Zhuri was confused. "A dry tree?" She asked and the old woman smiled. "A dry tree that have refused to bring forth flowers,,your FATE is to make it bloom again...child" "If it's about that,I should be able to, old one,I love nature alot" Zhuri replied and the woman laughed. "You will soon understand" She said"Here" she searched through her treasures and handed a bracelet to Zhuri. "Wear it and accept your fate no matter what" She said. Zhuri immediately wore it around her Left wrist. "What next?" She asked and the woman smiled. ******MOON EMPIRE**Zhuri opened her eyes slowly and looked around,it was blurry at first but then it started getting clear but at the same time more confusing. 'Where am I? What's this? How did I get here?' She was asking those questions In her head as she balanced herself to sit up. She checked herself out,the dress on her body look so expensive that it became more strange,where are those scars all over her body?? But the shock became more when she mistakenly saw her face in the mirror. She screamed and immediately covered her mouth,she have another face entirely!!'What's going on!!" She screamed and looked around her. It was then dawn on her,she was inside a palanquin. 'Who is this? Who owns this body?? Is she a princess??' Zhuri thought but seeing the eyes,she looks like one who have been crying. She was so confused. After some minutes,the palanquin stopped moving and the curtain was opened revealing an hefty cold looking man. "Get Out" he said rudely and coldly 'I guess I'm wrong,the person who owns this body isn't a princess...then what is she?' Zhuri thought. She was still thinking when she was dragged out and thrown on the ground."Ahh!" Zhuri screamed as her palms landed on thorns,she began bleeding from there. There she is!!!!!!!The screams she heard made her look up and behold were hundred of citizens running over with angry looks on their faces. She don't deserve to be alive!!! She need to die!!!Before she knew it,they began throwing stones on her,heavy ones. One landed on her head,nose,lips,chest,legs,all over her body and in a minute the white dress she on her was soaked with blood. Zhuri was speechless as she struggled in pain on the ground. What has this person done to deserve this kind of treatment?? Tears rolled down her eyes,she wanted to just die at that moment but still she was curious,who is this person?? Her father is an animal in human skin!!! She must pay for everything her father did!!!Bingo!!This body is paying for what her father did,not what she did. The hefty men dragged her up mercilessly not minding her Pains,that was when she looked up to see where they were.....

MOON EMPIRE.....THE PALACE.

As she was being pushed toward the gate,the people were still throwing stones at her...women,men,children,all of them. Zhuri turned to look at them,she had lived her whole life being hated by the people she lived with,but now she would be hated by a whole town??Her fate is to suffer her whole life,it's confirmed. Tears rolled down her eyes. "My lady!!!! My lady!!!!" She heard a tiny cracking voice from the back and she turned a little to see a girl in her twenties crying and trying to run over for her but the men wouldn't let her. 'Who's she?' Zhuri thought but couldn't take her eyes off her. "Move!!!" She was pushed from the back and she fell on her knees. "My lady!!!!" The voice screamed loudly and before Zhuri knew it,the girl released herself from those men and rushed over to her on the ground."My lady are you okay??" She asked. Zhuri managed to nod her head. "Please be fine,I will definitely find a way to save you out of this place,till then please hold everything in,I promised you right? I will be loyal to you forever" She was crying while talking and then Zhuri realized. This girl is like a special maid to this new body. "My lady" She still cried,touching Zhuri with shaking hands. "I promise I will be........." The word get stuck in her throat and it was replaced by blood. Zhuri's eyes widened. The girl just got stabbed from the back. The sword came out in her stomach and Zhuri gasped. "M.....my.....La....dy" She stuttered and fell on the ground. "I....Alora.....promise to....to....serve you.......even....in my death...." More blood spilled out of her mouth and her eyes went closed. "No!!!!" Zhuri screamed out.

★★★★★NIGHT TIME, DUNGEON**

Zhuri swallowed into nothing as she listened to the guards while they had their dinner. Tonight was actually different because even the piece of rice cake,she didn't get to eat. She was starving and it was as if she could dinner any moment from now. She was returned back to the dungeon for a reason she doesn't even know,would she stay here forever? The thought never left her head. "I'm hungry" She mumbled,tears falling off her eyes. "I'm hungry" She repeated again and touched her tummy. Aside hunger,she was smelly dirty and it was becoming irritating even to herself,she haven't even taken her bath for weeks,she's in the same dress,her hair look so bad,her face...her dry pale lips. Her legs are so dry and red,some signs of blood could still be seen on every parts of her body from the stone. Her palms where the thorns entered was still painful because there was no treatment done on them. "Child" She heard the familiar voice and she quickly looked up to see the Deity. "Old one" Zhuri called weakly and the Deity smiled at her. A plate of mashed potatoes appeared in front of her and a cup of water,the aroma entered Zhuri's nostril and she looked down then back to the Deity. "Eat up,you won't last till day break if you don't" The Deity said and Zhuri sniffs. She took the wooden spoon and ate a spoonful,it was so soft and delicious,she could taste the perfect honey mix inside,she looked up to see the Deity again but she was gone. "Thank you.....old one" She mumbled and she started eating with so much pace that she almost choked,she drank the water a little and continue eating,she finished up and drank the water,everything. She groaned out and immediately the plates and water cup disappeared. "I'm so full" She smiled and stretched her arms.

******ROYAL CHAMBER**

The guards bowed for Ximena as she entered the building with her maids,she started walking toward the entrance leading to the Emperor's suite,the guards inside kept bowing. Ximena turned when she finally got close to the suite. "Y'all can stay here" She said. "Okay my lady" They said at once and Ximena turned again,her hands holding her long dress carefully as she walked,she opened the door and entered. The lounge was empty so she proceeded to the bedroom and there he was,staring outside the window as usual,she always wondered what he always checked while staring at the sky every night,she haven't got any answer yet. "Your Majesty" Ximena bowed with a smile behind him. Augustus turned and faced her. "I didn't call for you Ximena" He said hoskily and Ximena looked up,her eyes met with his and she smiled again. That feeling when you're the only one allowed to see his beautiful eyes. "You were stressed all day your majesty,I'm here to make you feel good" She said and moved closer. "Not tonight,return to your suite" Augustus said but Ximena didn't move,she touched his robe and twitched her lips."You might be tired to do what I want,but I will make you feel good and just leave,I promise" She said and the Emperor stared at her blankly. Ximena smiled and removed a pin from her hair,she packed her hair up with it and went down,Augustus's eyes followed her as she knelt in front of him. He knew what she was planning in her head, that's just like Ximena,she never takes no for an answer when it comes to satisfying him. Maybe that's the reason why he never let her leave his side. Ximena undid his pants and his big plonker came into view,Ximena was careful as she held it in her hand,he felt so big,she just couldn't help but get wet at he sight,she looked up to see the Emperor looking at her,her face turned red and she looked down to get to work. She started by taking off her dress,she was taken out of the long big dress which covered her up,she was kneeling naked in front of him. She began massaging his díck,slowly and appetizingly,she gave it a gentle kiss on the head and the veiny places. She flicked the frenulum then moved down to the underside with the tip of her tongue. She moved up and down the shaft with a series of light, gentle kisses before licking the rest,getting the texture of the size and scent. Emperor Augustus,even in his blank way couldn't ignore that feeling,she could hear his sweet breaths screaming pleasure,that's one of her pride as the mistress,she can satisfy him more than any other woman. After minutes of giving the perfect head and blow job,he released into her mouth and she didn't even think twice before digesting everything. She let out a smile and looked up at him. "You can leave after getting dressed" Augustus said and made to leave. Ximena held his leg and stood up. "Your majesty,can't I just sleep here tonight.....""Go" He cut her off and Ximena kept quiet. He always does this,he never allow anyone sleep over in his suite,not even her."Then,can I ask for something?" The Emperor raised his brows and she started. "It's about the slave girl......Would she remain here alone or other kings are allowed to be with her?" She asked,trying to make sure he wasn't planning to make her stay hers forever,she won't watch anyone satisfy him than herself. "I won't have anything to do with her if she will be with other kings too" Augustus replied and Ximena bite her lips,that means......Zhuri is only for him. "Goodnight.....Your majesty" She muttered and bow. Emperor Augustus left her and went into the bathroom. Ximena in her painful feeling,dressed up and left the chamber,clenching her fists. "That bitch" She mumbled.

******MIDNIGHT, MOON GARDEN**

In the middle of the garden was the only plant and tree in there. But it was so dry even with it's countless branches,it was totally dry and it seems like nothing would ever bring it back to life. On top of the dry tree is the moon,a full big moon resting like it was watching the tree getting more dry. Emperor Augustus appeared in the middle of the garden,the wind blew his clothes and hair the second he arrived. He walked closer to the tree and sat down under it,he rest his head on it and his eyes went shut,he wasn't sleeping,no that word isn't in his life dictionary....Does the DEVIL sleep at all? No he doesn't. The Moon tree represents his heart,during his whole 500 years of living,this is his tenth reincarnation and also the worst of his life. Every reincarnation comes with one responsibility and pains he have to endure until the next one,his tree follow him everywhere but it never changes,not even once. Because he was never happy. That's the CURSE placed on him,he will never be happy. Five hundred years and he have never smiled,when it happens,then the curse isn't curse again. To him,the Deities are nothing anymore,he already became the Devil himself and nothing move him again,he can't even die,he would just continue living,reincarnating even if he dies,He's immortal but that word also sounds like curse itself because he doesn't want to live,not anymore. More than four hundred years ago before the curse,he had lived with his brothers in the supernatural word but soon,envy entered. He was more loved than his other two brothers and the Deities would give him more works to do....that was the cause of it all. Then the war started....he had no choice,even though he was the youngest,he was granted more power and that was how he ended up killing his two brothers when they faced him that day,as long as he could remember,he didn't even use a quarter of his power that day,maybe he never realized how powerful he had became and.....He killed them. Then came the curse,he couldn't escape it,he wasn't supposed to have blood in his hand as a supernatural being,but he did. Draining his happiness isn't the only curse....no matter how long he stay on the face of the earth,he can never produce an offspring. One of the reason why he never tried growing and affection for a woman,what's the importance?? As the emperor,he can't even have a heir,so why would he have a queen?? What's the use??It's even funny how there's a full moon watching over his tree but at the same time the full moon is his weakness. When there's a full moon,that night would be hell for him,but here he doesn't get affected by it. One of the reasons why he never allowed Ximena sleep in his room,who knows when the full moon might visit? Then he would definitely become something else,he doesn't want that. ******NEXT MORNING, DUNGEON**Zhuri was sitting with her back on the wall,she was in pain,her temperature was so high,she was sweating profusely and at the same time she was feeling cold. The bruises all over her body stings like hell,it was as if she would die. Last night it was hunger but this morning,it's more serious. Her sight was becoming blurry.But it was cut short when suddenly the gate was opened and the brightness hit her face,she could see a lady with some guards coming in. What are they going to do to her this time around? She wondered. She didn't Finish that thought before falling on the ground. "Carry her,hurry" The lady's voice said,that was all Zhuri heard before everything became blank,she lost her consciousness. ******THRONE ROOM**Emperor Augustus listened as each of the ministers dropped their complaints,he was reading the reports in front of him and dropping them one after the other. "Minister of defense" The Emperor called when he opened the last report. "Your majesty" The minister stepped forward. "Go on" The Emperor ordered. "Your majesty,the thieves from the East we told you about the last time,they haven't stopped their missions. According to what we heard,they were in the people's houses last night,robbing them of their properties and goods,they entered people's farms to steal their foods" "So what are you doing about it? How did they manage to enter through the city gate? Aren't you shameless to bring this matter to me?" Emperor Augustus asked and threw the report away. The ministers all bowed at once. FORGIVE US YOUR MAJESTY!!!"If you can't solve little matters like this,why are you all here? Every little thing,you want me to solve,what happened to the securities? How are you attending to those people being robbed? Should I get up and go to their houses?!!" He yelled. WE ARE SORRY YOUR MAJESTY!!Emperor Augustus sighed. "You are dismissed,all of you" He uttered and stood up,Asher immediately followed him as he went out. It took like a minute after he left before the Ministers raised their heads. I told you to try solving this before bringing it to his majesty. Making no effort make him angry and you know that.They continue murmuring among themselves till they all left.

******NIGHT, COURT LADY ESME'S ROOM**

Zhuri was awake,but she didn't open her eyes yet,she felt something soft where she was laying,and the temperature of the room was different. She opened her eyes and it roamed through the room,it's not the dungeon,then...where??"You're awake" She heard the same voice she heard before closing her eyes back in the dungeon. Lady Esme moved closer to her that Zhuri may see her. "Who.....are you?" Zhuri asked. "Court lady,you can call me Lady Esme" She said and Zhuri said nothing,she was still confused. "The Emperor asked you to be released,since your service starts tomorrow" Esme said and Zhuri looked at her. "What is that?" She asked. "You will be announced publicly tomorrow as the Royal Slave" Esme replied and Zhuri's eyes widened. "Pub.....publicly?" She questioned. "Of course,everyone will be present,from the lowest citizens to the royals,everyone..officially" Esme replied and Zhuri swallowed,she never imagined it's something that big waiting for her. Can she really hold in after the great disgrace coming tomorrow?? "You should take a long bath first,your dinner is here" Esme said and helped Zhuri out of the bed. "How are your wounds?" She asked. "Thanks to you,it's fine" Zhuri replied and Esme showed her to the bathroom. "Finally" Zhuri muttered,getting into the hot bathtub,she felt so refreshed. But when she remember what was waiting for her the next day,the little happiness flew away from her. "You have to do this Zhuri,you can do it" She assured herself and closed her eyes in the tub.

******MOON EMPIRE LARGEST FIELD**

The field look so green from the beginning till the end,so big,large,wide,in the middle was a tiny part for people who always pass that route to their destination. The field is the largest,most of the citizen have their plantations here,Hence,it's so rich in soil and nutrients,the crops and plants are so rich and beautiful in the eyes. Soon the thieves showed up,they were five. Smiles on their faces as they approached the field. "Whoa,this people must be so stingy to keep all these to themselves" One of them said. "I heard that since the present Emperor was crowned,they never experienced drought,even if the nearby Empires are dying of hunger,they always have excess foods to sell out to them" Another one said. "Their land must be so blessed,but who cares? Let's get as much as we want,we are going to become rich in no time" All of a sudden,a creature appeared in front of them and they stopped at once,the black creature Was backing them so they didn't see his face. "Who are you?" They asked in fear. He started turning and then faced them completely,his hair covered his face still. But his aura was scary,the breath from his body was so dark and they could see it clearly,they swallowed hard and continue shifting back. "How dare you steal from my land?" His voice was deep and scary. "Who do you think you are? Your land??" The one who asked that question will definitely regret it when he get to hell because he suddenly found himself in the hand of the creature. Augustus's eyes turned bright red mixed with golden color and his canine stick out sharply from his mouth,he inserted it deeply into his eyes and he torn his body into two. Others screamed out loudly. Augustus dropped the pieces of the human body and looked at them,his eyes was bringing out blood,his hair turned white,he looked so scary and he let out a smirk. "It's the Devil!!!!!!!!" They screamed out.
