He frowned deeply while drying his head, it's been twenty-four hours and no news come to him not even notice.

He clapped his hands, as the room illuminated, he could see a figure inside his bedroom his eyes went wide, he immediately knelt down.

"This prince greets father emperor!" He said firmly.

Seated on the bed in a loose blue robe, a man with bronze skin and stern countenance scrutinized Roberts manner. Seeing no other expression other than surprise, the man felt the blood rush to his head. He leaped to the prince. Robert at once looked up only to see a fist heavy as a mountain smash his face on the ground.

"TO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING, HOW CAN I HAVE A r.e.t.a.r.d THING LIKE YOU AS MY SON!"

The emperor heavily stepped on Roberts ribcage.

"Guughof". Robert coughed blood and broken teeth.

The emperor looked at Robert and spoke

"Today, right in the morning. I received a visit from the sect leader of the light sect, he told me with a smile on his dog face. THAT MY YOUNGEST SON AND THE STEWARD OF MY ELDEST SON WAS CAUGHT AND KILLED ON THE SPOT FOR CONSPIRING TO REFINE DEMONIC DRUGS."

Seeing another light of surprise on Robert's face the emperor gnashed his teeth in pure rage. he kicked Robert in disgust.

Robert flew and hit the wall of his room breaking almost all his bones.

While spewing blood he could not get rid of his dismay at the news.

'How could that happen?' he thought

The emperor breathed in deeply holding himself to not kill the thing splattered on the ground. He continued

"It doesn't matter if it's actually true or what your plans truly were.

Whatever you intended, now became the excuse for the light sect to keep eyes on us, heavily restricting our movements and they can freely do that after all, they have Reason! justification!

As all the empires and sects spread across this continent will receive a notice that here in this G.o.dd.a.m.n forsaken land, a small empire tried to recreate a drug that was banished across all the continent for its destructiveness, the only reason we do not receive the execution order. Is because that trash leader of a measly small Branch of the light sect,

Has more to gain if we remain alive, after all better someone alive and tied up then a free new and motivated emperor! That's why he gave us a chance.

The emperor crouched and stared at Roberts' eyes

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO! YOU'LL ANNOUNCE TO THE WHOLE WORLD THAT YOU'RE AN IMBECILE THAT COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN STEWARD AND SPOILED YOUNGER BROTHER AND HAD TO EXECUTE THEM FOR THE CRIME YOU FOUND OUT TOO LATE. AND AS COMPENSATION TO THE PEOPLE YOU'LL BY GIVING AWAY ALL OF YOUR TREASURY TO THE LIGHT SECT! "

The emperor lifted his hand again but Robert was already entering a coma state.

The emperor snorted in disdain.

'Of all the things. I was awarded this kingdom in the middle of nowhere. While my brothers are running enormous empires and sects across the continent and to top it off I became the first one to have a problem.

He spoke with clenched teeth

"The smallest and easiest kingdom yet the first to actually commit a serious mistake and all because of you d.a.m.n r.e.t.a.r.ded thing!"

He looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y thing strewn on the ground and screamed in anger "AHHHHHH!" he stepped on the ground. The whole room trembled, he threw a small bag at Roberts' face and went away huffing.

Robert through excruciating pain moved his head to the bag in front of him and managed to swallow the pallets inside.

With a groan he felt his body heal slowly, he could feel each piece of broken bone mending together. as well as his energy being consumed by the pallet.

He stayed there lying down, eyes wide open, he could not imagine how that came to happen.

Zhi Rui woke up at thirteen in the afternoon with Zhin Zhin knocking on the door. looking around the messed room Zhi Rui remembered what she did inside the carriage and a warm feeling pa.s.sed through her body. After the fun, she took a shower and went to sleep. She left to Zhun Xuying and Izaya to finish the issue of incrimination and planting of evidence.

Yawning she got up and opened the door with a light robe covering her body.

Zhin Zhin saw her and stammered

"Y-Young lady some people of the light sect came for a visit."

Zhi Rui nodded "I'll be over there soon, serve them lilies tea."

Zhin Zhin nodded two times before taking a deep breath and walking back.

Shaking her head in amus.e.m.e.nt Zhi Rui wore a white blouse that covered her arms until the elbows and pants of a slightly darker shade, she slowly walked to the guest hall.

Zhun Xuying had a stern expression beside an apparently gentle middle-aged man. He coughed when Zhi Rui entered the hall and ZHun Xuying and the maids turned to look at her

With gentle eyes, the man with a silver robe smiled warmly at her.

Zhi Rui eyes were darting around, restless.

"No need to be nervous dear. I'm Aurelio, an outer elder of the light sect." He sighed "I'm afraid I have bad news."

Zhi Rui sat on the sofa in front of them and nodded for them to continue.

Aurelio sighed again. "Three in the morning this disciple of mine Zhun Xuying caught a suspicious activity from w.a.n.g lei Gu one of our disciples, I investigated it and found the steward of Prince Robert, and prince Julius moving ingredients to refine a drug banished from existence: the devil's will. So I delivered them to the emperor, they will receive the law of the continent, any practice with this drug is punished by death."

Zhi Rui eye widened

"But that drug historically destroyed hundreds of empire how could they dare to use it!?"

Aurelio nodded "In fact, the was used. And as a result more then half of the slums and the soldiers that were on patrol that day went crazy destroying the city, the other sober forces tried to subdue them but the drug made them insane and they died fighting. We suspect they tried to test the drug's capabilities and saw how it went out of control, they tried to hide the ingredients away.

"How could they do this!?" Zhi Rui was breathless

Aurelio continued

"We come here, miss Zhi Rui to tell you that they were actually trying to hide it in the new community center you've build. most likely the reason Prince Julius gave you the land was to frame you in case things went wrong."

Zhun Xuying saw Zhi Rui feign a horrified and speechless face and was impressed by her ability to maintain the facade in front of an elder of the like this.

Aurelio wanted to avoid mindless talking so he went to the point before she could ask or react.

"We've come here, also, to offer you a position with the outer disciples. We'll use that fact that you created a center to help the people and you'll make and statement that with the light sect you'll help the people to heal from this tragedy. gaining merit within the sect and in the empire. What do you think Miss Zhi Rui?"

He asked knowing her story full well, a fanatic who blindly believes on the G.o.d of light.

Zhi Rui seemed to be a.s.similating his words, she a.s.sumed a stern expression and nodded firmly.

"I'll do everything I can the help the country and the sect!"
