My Wife is the Asura Empress-Chapter 2: Land of Asuras

"Oh...shit... it's not working." Rio cursed inwardly.

Even after ten minutes, it didn't work. The AI watch was not syncing with the portal.

"Human child, don't waste your energy. We are letting you try so you could come out on your own but that doesn't mean you should make us wait. Kindly follow us to his Majesty or we will do it forcefully which you wouldn't like." A woman's calm voice came from outside the portal.

Hearing that they would forcefully take him away, he came out.

'It would be better if I cooperate with them before finding a way to escape from here.'

He said "Okay I'll follow you. Lead the way."

The people in the room were surprised how this human child had no fear of them and agreed easily to listen to them.

Most of the time, when a human teleported here they would cry, and try to resist until they were broken mentally or physically.

The woman who spoke earlier said, "follow me."

After saying that, she started walking towards the exit of the gate. With no option left, Rio followed behind.

They walked out of the room and went straight for five minutes. Then they took the stairs to climb down and walked towards another hall which was on the first floor.

Rio felt like he had come back to the old age of kings and queens. The first floor looked majestic and luxurious, there was white marble on the floor with a red carpet that went straight in the direction of the room where the woman was going.

He looked around him and saw no one was following them but he understood that even if he started escaping here he would only be inviting death as he was in the tiger's den.

They came near a big entrance where two guards were standing. The door was made of black metal.

Guards bowed to the woman and opened the entrance.

They entered the hall and there were empty chairs on both sides of the walls. The carpet went up to the throne where a middle-aged man with a height of 2 meters was sitting on it.

He had a gentle smile on his face but his white hair came down to his shoulder. His eyes were crimson red and his skin was pale in color. He was giving off an aura that sent a chill down Rio's spine.

A girl was sitting next to the men on another chair on his left side, which appeared special just like the throne.

Rio's gulped nervously and forgot that there was anyone else in the room beside her.

'Ah, wow!'

Rio let out his admiration as he gazed at her as if she was a descending fairy from heaven.

'Stunning.'

That was the first word that came to his mind for her mesmerizing look.

Her white hair came down below her waist but a little part was also falling down her bosom which was big and ideal in proportion and hidden behind the beautiful black dress to not cause chaos to Rio's innocent mind. A red ribbon was worn on her neck that appeared like a flower.

Her white hair glistened in the light of the magical stones placed on the side of the walls. Her scarlet eyes looked like jewels. She could be considered even more beautiful than all the girls he had met ever in his life.

Even those celebrities in movies paled in comparison to her. If she passed by on the streets, everyone would naturally all stop to stare at her.

"Cough… cough…We are also here, young boy. Don't just give all your attention to her." the middle-aged man who was sitting on the throne spoke.

"Ah… sorry. I got mesmerized by her beautiful red eyes. I apologize." Rio said with a bittersweet smile.

The women from earlier bowed to the man sitting on the throne and left the hall.

"Do you know why you're here?" The white-haired man asked.

"Nope." He shook his head.

"Let's introduce each other first then I'll explain to you. I'm the Emperor of this land, my name is Dylan. and this is my daughter, Lia, who will become the empress in the future." Emperor Dyan said with a sweet smile and then gazed at Rio.

Looking at his response, he understood that the Emperor was waiting for him to introduce himself.

"I'm Rio, an adopted child of the Havenglow family." He said with a nonchalant voice.

"When were you adopted?" Dylan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Last month." He replied and saw pity in the Emperor's eyes.

"Oh… I see. I thought all humans are vile creatures, they only know how to destroy nature until they find another world to do it all over again." Emperor spoke, then he paused and looked at Rio to ask, "What's your opinion about this?"

"I believe the same but good and evil are present everywhere. Not all humans are bad, and not all Asuras are good. Some good people are forced to do evil things for their survival.

As you know, the Dhovrix race invaded earth, and humans were forced to come here for survival as they are weak against the Dhovrix race." Rio said as a matter of factly.

"Don't you fear I'll kill you if you take the side of humans in front of us?" A sweet melody voice came from beside. Lia was smiling at him coldly with her beautiful red eyes.

"I already know I'm a dead man the moment I was teleported here. Will you spare my life if I show you fear?" Rio looked back into her eyes which made her grit her teeth and clench her fist.

"Lia, don't scare him, he is not entirely wrong with his words." The Emperor turned to look at his daughter.
