Snow fabric covered him like a frost angel's charm that served the goddess yet the soldiers that followed him were ruthlessly bloodthirsty generals with scars decorating their faces and bodies like a second skin.

"This servant of the Empress Supreme greets his highness Prince Baez."

There was no mistake when the high official of Gaerin greeted the emperor and referred to him as a Prince.This indicated Gaerin's firm beleif that they did not recognised the Emperor as the legitimate heir to the throne yet for the moment not even a single voice was raised to refute the high-ranking messenger since Ambrose's current conditions were precarious.

Gaerin and Great Eastern Deserts were going to have martial ties soon, General Azarios, no, His majesty- the prince was the heir to the throne of Grevian so what was left for Baez was only Darrin but the relations with King Blanc now were like deep murky waters that could take the shape of a deadly plague any moment.

Baez knew Quare was alive and had betrayed him but the woman who was in place of his sister- he dared not expose her since the moment the truth came out- Darrin would not sit silently.

Thus Baez could only grit his teeth and with cold indifferent irises watch the person infront of him.

"This Emperor believes that Gaerin's officials are all so impudent thus it must be that the monarch is even more arrogant and capricious. To what does Ambrose owes the pleasure that their is an entourage from Gaerin visiting?"

Unlike the murderous aura of the men, they did not flew into a rage over the remarks of the emperor against their own ruler. It was as if they were either truly calm and had their heads as cool as ice or they accepted his words.

"Replying to his majesty- Empress Supreme is the mortal daughter of the goddess of war and victory. Even the ancient ancestors of Heriodonus would be greatly pleased once seeing the valor of her highness thus what you said was not false, these servants are so impudent since our monarch is arrogant yet that arrogance is deep to one's bone and knows the ideals of whom to respect and treat with equal curtisy.

This servant is the called Duke Yialos and has come to invite his majesty to attend the wedding of Princess Artimisia of Gaerin and General Casagon of Eastern deserts and honor our empires."

If such words were said infront of commoners they might have thought that this was only a praise of Gaerin's Emperor but in reality it was saying-

'our empress is arrogant because she is qualified to be but do not mistake it that she has ill manners and knows only to boast, she knows well whom to respect and whom to not give any regard to, and you do not deserve a single ounce of her curtisy.'

"Good. The messenger of Gaerin comes and says such words infront of Ambrose royal lineage. This Emperor takes that its your age that makes you unable to understand your stature and sprout such things or it might be due to negligence. Senior Palace Maids will show you your chambers in the royal palace to rest for the day and leave early when the sun rises.

"The words were spoken slowly but with such malice that whosoever would have heard it would have refused, he was saying-'Its either you are so young and incompetent that you possess such ill manners or it must be your Empress that it incompetent to not teach her subordinates.

Your position is lowly thus neither this one now my officials would show you around the palace only a maid, its better that you understand that your invitation is worthless and leave right now or one will drag you out at the earnest.'

But it seemed like Yialos did not took Baez's words seriously as he bowed a little.

"Thanking his majesty, this one along with the generals will live comfortably till tomorrow then."

After that the emperor was furious thus the court officials did not even breathe with comfort and remained vigilant. Soon the imperious court ended and the emperor left after brushing off his sleeves showing his utmost displeasure yet as soon as he entered the emperor's pavallion Yialos was waiting for him while standing with the guards as if he did not cared about his reputation at all.

"This Duke knows that the emperor would not accept the invitation yet this one needed to have one last word before leaving."

"This Emperor is not willing to listen to nonsence this would request you to leave before this one commands my soldiers to help you out."

"Even if it regards to Princess Quare's location and Princess Semeara's wish to meet you?"
