Empress mother Feyore felt unfathomable in her heart, the sun's absence made the imperial palace of Ambrose look like an iron cage that a bird was locked in and was rigorously flapping its wings to retreat unscathed. Her daughter Quare had gone to Gaerin for the peace treaty and marriage, then why did she felt such misery as if a storm was brewing, bats howling and vultures surrounding the magnificent palace of Ambrose made it seem like a palace of demons.

"Your majesty, General Azarios has asked for an attendance with his majesty the emperor and was heading to the sun pavilion-" Before those words could be completely said to convey the message, screams of horror and rage echoed throughout the imperial palace making Empress mother Feyore lose her balance somewhat and freeze. Those noises had enough capability to pierce her heart and a few years ago some similar kind of mourning cries have resonated throughout the royal hallways.

"W-What is happening?!" The woman along with her maids that gave her the way hurried outside.

"Your majesty there was an assassination attempt on the sun of the empire! General has already caught the sinners and saved our emperor."

After that the entire palace of Ambrose was covered in silence, servants did not talked and as if it seemed like they were walking on eggshells, their emperor was attacked and it was their General who saved their country.

Correct, till General Azarios was alive none would be able to harm them. If the male himself would have heard such words he would have laughed hundreds of times.

Emperor Alexander had already lost his consciousness when the imperial physician arrived with sweat beads forming on his body, Commander Seros along with several ministers were informed of the matter thus they rushed to the palace as soon as possible. The beast of Ambrose was in the dark dungeon with a sword in his arm and has already captured the men.

"This General would separate your limbs, would that be a joyous occasion for your comrades to tell this one who has sent you?" In reality there were only military guards in the dungeon since others did not possessed such heart to see so much gore, several other ministers stood outside the four walls and listened to the interrogation going on since an hour and shuddered with the horrifying wails.

The assassin was hired by an unknown entity that promised an abundant future for a certain amount of pain and torture, although the men did not had any idea who this entity was but when Azarios smirked in darkness there was only one person who could see his face- the leader of assassins bowed when the regal male with onyx irises nodded.

The leader had a bloody gash running his left eye yet when those smiling lips of a gladiator uttered a word soundlessly he saw it clearly- what were the words he had to say.

"Gaerin......we are the soldiers of Gaerin." Gasps could be heard all around as Azarios smiled...That bastard Baez wanted to bring whom from Gaerin?

That birth chart of the unknown woman who was pretending to be Princess Semeara looked too similar to be mistaken, it was he and his mother- Saintess Helixis who had prepared that chart for the little imperial princess of Gaerin, daughter of Prince Vzeus.

What had his mother told him in childhood? It was she and he himself that had dragon destinies.......she belonged to him.

Dare to covet this Prince's woman? Then cry blood tears, not only you but your empires too will pay for this sin.

In the thirteenth imperial day same as when Emperor Alexander was attacked, Prince Baez was sent a royal falcon unknown to any royal member of Ambrose, that had a clear instruction written- Ambrose has declared war on Gaerin.

No marriage would be there in between the empires and Prince Baez and Princess Quare were left on their own in Gaerin.

Take them as hostage or bury them alive, Prince Azarios would be pleased either way. In case they escaped then he shall be here always welcoming them on a journey to the Underworld.

"This one feels that gods have shown mercy that the evil star is finally dead Yona, does wife agrees with husband's words?" Yona who was no longer sane sat like a statue in the corner of a dingy chamber of Prime Minister Artim's manor.

The news of Artilia dying had spread far and wide but before Yona could go and see her child one last time, the imperial family had informed that such disgraced woman shall be buried without a funeral. Prime Minster Artim felt so much joy at that moment.

"That whore Direze was dead after getting raped by Prince Ragel and her daughter also followed in the similar path."

"Artilia was your daughter too! MONSTER!" A loud crash with blood trickling down Artim's forehead made him bleed heavily.

"IMPUDENT!" The woman was backhanded roughly.

"Crazy bitch!" After several slaps and kicks Artim huffed and left the room.

Tears that were frozen looked at Prime Minster Artim's back with cold chilling aura. Ayrm, Artilia's younger brother who was locked in his chamber and was watching and listening to such words raised his head towards the skies and took an oath.

His mother was treated like a slave.

His sister died so tragically.

The imperial palace was a wolf's den and he a twelve year old child had earlier thought that he would soon die due to his weak body was now forced to think that no matter how much it pains he will live and take Artim's place. One day a rebellion would rise and he will be the first one to strike.

The goddess would listen to him.
