Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Pablo stopped in his tracks, turning to bow respectfully. “Master.”

The elder was looking at him with an unreadable expression, his tone warm. “The emperor is trusting you, and no one else this time. You must not let him down.”

Pablo nodded. “Yes.”

The elder put a hand on his shoulder kindly. “Remember to come back the second you’re done, the sooner the better. It’s time you followed through with that marriage of yours to Jill.”

Pablo stopped short, flashing a tight smile. “Master. I’ve not thought about marriage quite yet.”

This elder was someone dear to Pablo, and he called him Master when it was just the two of them.

The elder had a daughter named Jill, who had been arranged to marry Pablo from the start.

“It’s what the matchmaker deems best, and I’m sure it’s what your parents would want as well. Let your parents know when you get home. Jill’s not getting any younger either; don’t keep her waiting.”

Pablo was about to say something, but ended up nodding. “Alright, Master.”

Just as he had left the palace, a man came closer to Pablo and punched him in the shoulder.

“Hey, I heard Father’s marrying Jill to you?” The man seemed displeased.

Pablo smiled. “I can’t go against his word.”

The man scoffed. “I don’t care whether you can or not. You’d better be good to my sister once she marries you. I’ll have your head if you give her a hard time in the slightest.”

Pablo sighed to himself, but merely smiled. “Yes, I hear you. Nothing’s even happened yet. I don’t even know when I’ll be back from work this time.”

The man stopped short. “Take care, Pablo.”

He seemed a little solemn, his expression dark.

Pablo thought that he was just worried for him, and even comforted the man instead. “Don’t worry. I’ll be back in no time. I’m sure it’s just a little internal scuffle…”

The man cut him off before he could finish. “I know, it’s just dangerous out there. You’d… you’d better be careful.”

Pablo said, “Alright. Oh, please get some medicine for my mom.”

He took out a piece of paper with a prescription scrawled on it. “My mom’s got bad legs in the winter. I just got this prescription for her.”

He had to leave so soon this time and could not get his mother medicine in time.
