Rise of the Legendary Emperor 52 Wounds of the pas

At the moment Don was standing before a reception table talking with a blue-haired woman. After the fight in the tavern, Don and Arrora found this Inn after asking the direction of the nearest Inn.

Don knew it was already night time and was not sure about finding another Inn at this time but heating the lady he hesitated

"It's fine Joseph" Seeing Don hesitating Arrora decided to stay in the room with him.

"Alright, we'll take it" Don took out a pouch of coins after the lady slid him a piece of paper showing the price and the key towards him.

"Room A2B my lord, just head towards the stair and turn left, the second room in the corridor is yours"

Don just nodded and made his way towards his room with Arrora closely following him behind. After seeing the 'A2B' sign on the wall beside the door, Don put his key into the keyhole and opened it.

The room he was standing before was uncomfortably large. The floor was polished concrete, the walls white and the furniture looked like made of fine fabric in a design of clouds. Arrora could see the white curtains were linen, the kind of white that was untouched by hands and devoid of dust. There were no tables, no bookshelves, no dining table, but only three or four chairs arranged around the fireplace which was lit and gave the room a calm and natural feeling as well a large bed inlaid with fine white silk with red roses embroidered so delicately on the bedsheets.

Beside the bed, Don saw another Don which he guessed which must be a restroom as he walked inside the room.

Arrora hesitantly closed the door

"You sleep on the bed I'll take the couch" Arrora heard Don as he was closing the curtains and said without even looking back at her

"No I can take the couch you take the bed"

"As a man, it won't be gentlemanly to let you take the couch"

Hearing Don Arrora couldn't help but giggle as Don stood there looking at the starry night in the small gap between the curtains.

"Then how could a gentleman like you handle a girl like that?"

Arrora still remembered Don throwing that girl into the walls without even thinking about for a second

"Like I've said Arrora I believe in gender equality beside that girl shouldn't have touched Uncle Dior"

Arrora walked towards him and stood beside looking at the sky with Don

"If you truly believe in gender equality then why can't we share the bed?"

Arrora didn't care about what others would think about sharing a bed with another man and besides she trusted him to not act like Bryan. She knew if Don wanted he could do anything to her using the master-slave bond but until now he didn't use it not even for a second.

Don was a little shocked and surprised to hear Arrora as he shook his head

"We can't because I saw many girls fall in love for a lot less than sharing the bed with a guy"

It was true in the divine continent, Don saw many young misses blush and fall in love just because a guy touched her pinky. He and Knight saw enough cliche love stories that destroyed many lives.

Just like Don Arrora was also shocked to hear Don but she started to giggle

"Don't worry I won't be like those girls" but before she could continue further Don looked at her

"So take the bed" seeing the determination in his voice Arrora realized he was adamant so she nodded her head

"So can you tell me about where you came from? I believe its called divine continent"

Don was surprised to see Arrora talk this much and he could see her courage grown unlike the first time he met her

"Yes but it's just a continent like Avelon Continent here"

"You were born here right then how did you go to a whole new world?"

When Arrora asked this question she could feel something change in his posture as he shook his head

"That's a mystery even to me"

"Don't you miss that place? Do you have anyone there?"

Arrora never talked to Don this much because he was often going out or surrounded by people but now she decided to get to know him better

Don breather a heavy sigh

"Sometimes and yes I have many people there"

Even though he was calm while he said that but a killing intent emerged in his eyes

Arrora couldn't see the killing intent appeared in his eyes

"Do you want to go there again?"

''Yes I will go there but it won't happen any sooner" a silhouette of a red-haired man appeared in his mind but it was disappeared when Arrora's voice interrupted his train of thought

"Can you take me with you when the time comes?"

Arroratilted her head and asked Don as he turned for a second look at her before returning his gaze towards the sky

"It depends"

"Depends on what?"

"Depends on how powerful you get, even the heavenly level magi here would just be like an ant there before some people"

Arrora yelped in shock when she heard Don

"What!!"

"Don't be shocked heavenly level would not be the limit here not anymore"

Arrora knew the meaning of his words because she also heard Dragon King mentioning that life energy(magical energy) started to replenish in the world.

Seeing the night get darker Don turned his gaze towards Arrora

"It's getting late go to sleep we have a long day tomorrow"

"I need to take a bath we are smelling like blood"

As she said Arrora walked towards the bathroom leaving Don behind.

After seeing Arrora locking the door Don raised his elbow and smelt it as he agreed with what Arrora just said.

Don slowly removed his black hooded overcoat and started to unbutton his shirt as he let it fall on the ground. Then Don circulated his battle energy and started to control the air and the water element in the room as a small white mist covered Don.

Suddenly Arrora opened the bathroom door and stepped outside as the white mist disappeared and showed Don's bare upper body as well as his new face.

Arrora wanted to turn her head away seeing his bare upper body but she was shocked at his body that she couldn't get herself to turn away

He had a chiseled chest and his abdominals were sculptured to perfection as his six-packs pop. She could see his biceps were the size of her head yet lean as his triceps looked like diamonds and completing his masterpiece of a physique, his shoulders were round and protruding and gave his whole look a new flavor.

However, what shocked her most was the scars and burn marks on his body. Just by looking at his scars wounds Arrora started to feel like something crawling under her skin, there was not a place on his body that was not scared or not burnt especially at his chest as she saw a deep 'X' shaped burn mark.

Seeing Arrora looking like she saw a ghost Don took another shirt from his space ring and quickly wore it

"What happened Don?"

She couldn't even imagine the pain he must have gone through when she saw the scars but before she could say anything else

"I should ask the same"

Don didn't expect a woman like her would only take a couple of minutes to bath but seeing her clothes he realized she didn't get a bath at all.

"There were no extra robes in there" hearing Arrora Don sighed and controlled the air and water element in the room again as the white mist started to cover her.

Arrora felt like she had a bath when the mist disappeared, she was refreshed just like that and the smell of blood completely faded away from her.

"Now you can sleep" as Don said Arrora saw he's sitting on the ground and closing his eyes to meditate. Seeing him she knew that she wouldn't get any answers from him about his wounds as she decided to get a good night's sleep.

The bed she climbed on was just as comfortable as she guessed when she first saw the bed. However, she was too tired to admire the softness of the bed but before she closes her eyes she looked at Don and said in a low pitched voice that could be only heard by him

"Good night Don"
