"Your highness!!" Yibo's nanny ran towards him once she saw him messed up, "your highness are you alright? Did something happen?"

Yibo calmed her down, "I am fine nanny, and I also have good news for you."

"What is it."

Yibo smiled and hugged his nanny," I have a master now nanny, from tomorrow we will
be living together in the temple."

"Temple? Who is your master your highness?"

"It's the high priest  Silas Hale nanny,"

Nancy's eyes widened, "the Oracle, Silas Hale? Oh my god, the Goddess has been kind to us."

"Nanny now go and start packing you and Jack will come with me."

"Yes you highness," the nanny and Jack bowed and went their way.

While one of the maids who had heard this was clenching her jaw because of anger, the high priest had the highest respect in the empire and even more respect than the emperor.

The people and the crowd blindly follow the priest the high priest's words are the words of God so being his disciple is the highest honor.

How can a son of a traitor have this honor? No, it's wrong the maid quickly ran to inform the empress about this.

The empress who was supposed to be sick forced herself to get up from her bed," what? That bastard has become the discipline of the priest?"

No no this isn't possible the high priest has never taken in a disciple before then why now? Instead of Yibo, it is her son Damon who deserves to be the priest's disciple.

The empress got down from her bed due to the poison her body was still weak but she still managed to walk out of his room and go to the emperor.

The emperor who was busy drinking and slacking off was quite Suprised as he saw  her "empress what brings you here?"

"Your majesty the third prince Yibo has been accepted as the priest's disciple."

"That's great news if someone from the royal family can be the priest's disciple then we can have a good influence on the temple."

This fact makes it even worse having them the backing of the temple can be worse.

"Your highness the isn't a good thing."

"Why empress, what's wrong with the third prince being the priest's disciple."

"Your majesty the third prince is young and foolish he lacks etiquette moreover after the consort's death there is no one to discipline I have heard Various rumors that how hot-tempered he is.

And if he does something to offend the priest then it will be troublesome our relation with the temple will deteriorate, moreover the third prince is not talented as well he might ruin our family name and what if he gets controlled by the temple and turn against you. Your majesty?

Please reconsider this instead of him our son Damon is better to be the disciple."

The empress did have a point so the emperor orders to summon the third prince to him.

Yibo who had more or less imagined what will happen had already prepared himself.

"Long live his life majesty."

"We have heard that the prince has become the priest's disciple?" The emperor said and the empress was beside him as well.

"It is true your majesty."

"Although it is a good thing after our talk with the empress we think that you might not be capable enough to be high priest's disciple, instead of you the second prince Damon would be a more suitable candidate."

Yibo nodded," I see your majesty but can I say something as well?"

The emperor nodded while the queen and the second price watched.

"Your majesty it is said that the priest's words are the words of God so if the empress is doubting the priest's words doesn't that mean she is doubting the god himself.

Moreover, the empress and the second prince have been to the temple countless times if the priest wanted he could have chosen prince Damon in all these years but he didn't he must have his reasons for this.

Your majesty if we follow the empress's advice doesn't that mean that we are going against the god and what if the high priest rejects to take the second prince as his disciple won't that bring shame to the Royal family.

To add to that we will be criticized by our people for going against god, please think about this, your majesty."

The emperor nodded Yibo was indeed right while the empress was fuming with anger and so was the second prince but before they could say anything Yibo sole.

"Your majesty my mother has committed treason against this nation as her son allow me to wash her sins by serving the god in the temple while I learn from the priest himself.

The Sin that my mother had committed let the priest purify it so that one day I will return as soon that you will be proud of your majesty."

Yibo spoke with clarity and his eyes were firm once he finished, the emperor who was easy to manipulate had already sided with Yibo, "you are right son, I shall allow you to go to the temple so that you return as a powerful and wise man."

The empress was so angry that she coughed blood and sat on her seat the emperor was startled to see her like this, she glared at Yibo who only smirked at her.

"Your majesty," Yibo spoke, "I think that while the empress is in recovery state she should not be allowed to interfere in other matters to much thinking can harm her brain, like today she gave such advice if she didn't get rest then I am afraid she might hurt her brain from thinking so much."

"The prince is right, take the empress and till she is healthy she will not be allowed to step out of her room." After this empress was gone the emperor ordered the two princes to leave as well.

"Don't be so happy now that you are the priest's disciple at the end of the day you are just a son of a traitor."

Yibo smiled and whispered, "Don't be so jealous of me brother, because at the end of the day you will be a worthless jealous son of a bitch"

Yibo patted his shoulder and walked away with a smirk this is just the beginning.

By night time the packings were done, today Yibo was in a good mood.

And he stood at the balcony to wait for Azure who arrived soon, today Yibo placed a bowl for Azure while he quickly opened it to see what was in the letter. This time along with the letter there was also a box,

Dear Prince,

I hope you were satisfied by meeting Silas, you have no idea how excited I am to listen in detail to what happened.

As for me, I had a pretty wonderful day too, I trained with my master and then gone for the hunt with my brother and I am also very near to master my strength.

I can't wait to hear from you, and today  I have sent you a snack I have made myself, hope you will enjoy it.

Your friend,
Sean

Yibo subconsciously smiled and just as Sean wanted he wrote a detailed account of what happened today his dual with Silas and his talk with the emperor, also about how happy he was he wrote everything while eating the snack Sean had sent and indeed the taste was heavenly before tying the letter and the empty box to azure.

And watched her fly away.

Zhan who read the letter by the prince was delighted and quite surprised to know that Silas had beaten him up, that was a shocking thing.

Now everything has been set in motion just two More years to go.
