When Prince Baez was awakened the next day it resembled the days of Gaerin under the solar eclipse, a catastrophe had occured then and a catastrophe would swipe off the realm today.

"Your majesty! Your majesty Ambrose is under attack! Darrin has declared a war on us!"

Dark red clouds seemed to be filled with monstrous blood rained and the children were ushered inside their homes as the people locked themselves up.

It would take a week to reach Ambrose and even if he hurried off now...it would be too late.

Baez who had never bowed down to the goddess did not knew when his fingers shivered as if for the first time he felt helpless, this emotion that was foreign and unknown and to be a monarch being absent at the time of an invasion- treachery.

He would be deemed as a traitor.

To be born in luxury and riches, protected by an imperial father that did not bore any child to another concubine so that there would be no fight for succession and then being spoiled by his mother- Empress Feyore to such an extent where he had no worry for any consequences.

He had killed his father, mother and brother. There was no one now in the imperial palace whom he could completely trust. The Emperor of Ambrose who came to the throne after slaughtering his own kin trembled as he hurried off to Empress Lilith's pavilion in his unseemly attire that looked more of a disgrace than the true royal that he wished to be all his life.

The guards rushed along with the monarch but in a hurry he collided with a woman that fell down.

Brown glazed irises looked up and the beast that was hidden behind a facade of a kind prince came out glaringly.

"Lady- Lady Cecelia!" Cecelia was the daughter of Prime Minister Zhan of Ambrose that was exiled after her ugly provocation to Lilith, what was she doing in the Great Eastern desert's imperial palace?

Furthermore looking at the garments that she was covered in, it did not seem that she was a lowly servant.

"This one is the closest aide of her majesty Princess Artimisia! If you dare hurt this one, one shall call for her majesty Empress!"

"Where is your master?"Baez smiled gently before slapping Cecelia with such force that blood sprouted from her lips, the make looked murderous thus making the female tremble.

"Kill this one if you dare but this one shall not say anything." Cecelia's words earlier were not low thus the servants from all around the palace gathered, even though they could not intercept a foreign royal yet their expressions were unkind but at that moment Baez did not care as he gripped her arm harshly and dragged the woman to Lilith............LILITH.

Just like the first time he had met her all those years ago, he was now enchanted with her, had never given up the hopes to keep her by his side and she choose to go against him.

What could Azarios give her that he could not...what did he offered her?

His imperial father choose Azarios over him,

Ambrose choose Azarios over him yet none of that mattered as when she picked up that man before him.

So much so that she conspired against him.

How come Cecelia be here if not guided by Lilith?

How come Prime Minister Zhan not retire with such haste if not directed by Azarios...his chess peice that he had arranged for so long suddenly fleed to the enemy side.

Pride Ragel died such cruel death by his hands and if it was a normal female she might have fainted with the sight yet the woman who greeted him that day had sparks of pleasure in her eyes.

How was he far away from home and only then his land was being attacked.....it was impossible for his spies to not inform him earlier, if it was not that they intercepted the messages, it was as if from the beginning to the end was made a fool by the couple that played with him.

Baez would not have been polite in such rage and rather had choose to knock down the chamber doors if it was not for the gigantic python that was coiled around the pillar with his mouth slightly ajar and eyes watching him.

The soldiers even before any order could be given tried to get closer to the serpant with their swords only to hear a terrifying hiss, their bodies coiled in fear as they saw multiple serpents now slithered the chamber gates such that even the golden hue of the door was now not visible.

"Your highness is searching for something?"

Cecelia broke free and stood behind the female that was so tranquil that it looked almost an illusion.

"You wretched woman! You dare conspire against this one-"

"Why was his highness looking for Princess Artimisia?" The calm words were fierce and could not be refuted.

"How come she has Cecelia as her servant-" When his face was hit, the long nails made of gold drew blood.

The male who was murderous would have crushed the female yet the dark look that resembled a ghoul made the daughter of the goddess look like there was no soul inside of her, all that buried hatred was brought to the surface.

Golden honey irises were murky and filled with evil.

It was only a legend in Gaerin that when Empress Supreme was raged, none could escape her wrath.

The soldiers that dared come forward were slaughtered with the vermilion sword that coloured her face red as blood spalttered on her lips.

Tongue that was thirsty and was looking for the warm fresh liquid to quench her thirst licked the blood off her lips and moved ahead making Baez widen his eyes and unsheathe his sword.

"This Empress's sister is not someone that a lowly whore can call the name of. With what eyes did you date dream about meeting her and with which tongue you dared call her name...this empress will gouge out your eyeballs and cut off your tongue."

At that moment when she wasn't hearing anything but the name that escaped his lips, it made the swords clash with ambers and sparks and Baez's weapon was slashed in half as the long sword broke in shards.

The servants watching the gore scene dared not utter a word and the Empress's soldiers feared their monarch.

"ARHHHHHHH!!" Painful screams echoed before his tongue was cut off.
