The Burden of the Ruler
"SHAMEFUL! WHERE'S YOUR SHAME, HA?!" Luo Yang snapped with emotion. The sharp look in his eyes, if it were a sword, then it could certainly wipe out the lives of anyone he highlighted.
Tianlong Palace, the main palace that became the residence of the King was as if shaking. All the people who were in the Palace Hall could only look down in fear when they heard the vowels that contained that energy.
"Your Majesty, I think .., this is just a misunderstanding. We have done absolutely nothing that Constantine Yang has accused us of," Ye Yang said. The girl seemed to remain calm and continue to maintain her elegance.
Hearing the reason given, the figure standing right in front of the throne was clucking. A sigh rang out as the man was about to occupy his seat of greatness.
"You think I'm stupid, Ye Yang? You can no longer fool me with your disgusting charade" said the King, cynically. The veins on his arms and neck stood out. He raised a furious look.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? All of this is just a misunderstanding," Ye Yang said, avoiding subtly. The girl, even had her fours throw a smile at the entire Palace Hall. But still, if he was wrong, no one would be willing to save him from the King.
"Hmm?" The enraged Luo Yang growled softly. "Who gave you the right to speak, Ye Yang?" tanyakanya. He haughtily stared at the pink hanfu-clad girl.
"Sorry, Your Majesty—but I just want to defend myself," Ye Yang explained. Everyone realized, how great the girl was in keeping her behavior smooth.
"I know Jingguo Li never lies. So if there are liars here, then it is you" asserted the King. She looked at the Empress with her two children coldly. I don't know what kind of defense they're going to give.
"Your Majesty .., I know you and the Great General are old friends. But a mistake you made has made that bond run aground." Ye Yang smiled faintly when he saw Luo Yang stroking his chin, as if wanting to continue hearing the story. "The Great General you know is a very honest figure. But time has long passed. Along with the hatred that continues to erode the good in his conscience, isn't change impossible?" continued.
"Put-wind," Luo Yang lamented.
"One's nature can be easily changed, Your Majesty ...! It is not impossible if the Great General is lying to you. Moreover, everyone knew he was very close to Constantine. It's not impossible that they're working together, is it?" Ye Yang tried to provoke. He is notoriously intelligent. This time, however, he had completely wrongly chosen the strategy. He clearly did not understand how close the King was to the Great General in the past.
"Accusing Jingguo Li of lying is tantamount to not trusting me. Only a traitor to the kingdom does it." Luo Yang spoke in a high tone. "You're no longer my favorite daughter" she said, suddenly.
"Bring, then lock them up for half a month in the Tian Fa Punishment Palace. Do now!" luo Yang's orders, absolute.
"No! Your Majesty, why do you even trust the old man more than us? He's just your former best friend, whereas kam—" Feng Yang looked uneasy when some of the soldiers touched his hands and shoulders.
"COVER YOUR MOUTH, CROWN PRINCE! QUICKLY BRING THEM!" That statement, again, is absolute. No one dared to go against that order. It is power that speaks.
"YOUR MAJESTY! NAY! I'M STILL YOUR FAVORITE PRINCESS, RIGHT?! SO DON'T SEND ME TO THAT DESPICABLE PALACE! DON'T LOWER MY DEGREES, YOUR MAJESTY! AH—NO! NO!" Ye Yang looked hysterical. Lost its elegant image. No more beautiful princesses.
"Shut the mouth!"
Hearing the King's command, a bodyguard silenced the Princess's mouth with his rough hands. Now, three infuriating people were brought out of the Palace Hall. It didn't take long, they had already disappeared from the Sovereign's sight.
"The Crown Prince is totally unexpected. The other princes were also just as useless, "wirried King Luo Yang. The old man looked disappointed. If the heir to the throne had such a character, obviously, the Anming Kingdom would suffer setbacks and destruction in the future.
"It seems you should reconsider our advice with the ministers. You must return to have offspring. You will find a great woman cultivator from the other country in order to produce superior seeds" proposed the Royal Counselor who stood on the left side of the King.
"That's not an easy thing, Mingzhi Royao ...! Cultivation was an extremely rare talent in the present. In fact, even though I who is a cultivator is marrying a cultivator as well, not necessarily our descendants have similar talents. Based on the calculations, there was still twenty-five percent of the failure percentage," Luo Yang explained. The man scrunched his temple. As the possessor of great power, the issue of heredity was indeed endless. In fact, having many children, is not able to guarantee his life to be peaceful when quantity is not proportional to quality. Indeed, this is the true burden of the Ruler.
"We've thought of a new suggestion, Your Majesty ...!" said the man named Mingzhi Royao. When he said that, all the ministers looked at him with bated breaths.
"What is it?" ask the King with hope.
"Daughter of Constantine Yang or An Yang. She ..., she is our hope. Its prowess is beyond doubt" explained Mingzhi Royao. He spoke firmly, but his face expressed doubt.
