The Emperor's


"Prepare his funeral and call all the princes here immediately" the Emperor said.


The coffin, which contained the body of Youli Young, was then closed again. Some of the knights immediately docked and held it, then brought by them the object headed outside the hall.


Weiyan was silent for a while. He turned around, then set his foot back towards the throne. He put his crown back on and rested his head on the throne while holding his chin with his thumb and index finger.


Some of the officials who were there again occupied their seats calmly after the disturbance. They looked at their leader with anxious feelings.


"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ask one of them.


"I want to do my best. That girl, it's dangerous. Getting rid of it there are things that are profitable as well as detrimental. He can be a thorn in the flesh. However, if he is on our side, then my ambition to rule the world is more likely to materialize" Weiyan said.


The Son of Heaven also let out a long breath. Two sides of the door that suddenly opened, then displayed the princes from back there. Some princes who looked too small were carried by each of their personal servants.


The princes who were close to touching the number thirty, then entered the center of the hall. They knelt down and paid their respects to the Emperor.


"Honor to the Father" they said, in unison.


"Yes, sit down ...!"


The princes, then scattered to both sides of the room and occupied the chairs located there. Most of them, choosing to occupy the place they used to sit; but in contrast to one of the princes, who actually looked confused.


"What are you doing, Twelfth Prince?" weiyan asked, with a furrowed forehead.


The figure in question simply shook his head, then immediately occupied a seat chosen at origin and somewhat apart from the other princes. From that moment on, his head kept his head lowered, as if there were many things he was afraid of threatening him there.


"NOT POLITE! NOT ANSWERING HIS GLORIOUS QUESTION!


"I'm just confused and unaccustomed, Ayahanda ...! Ii'm sorry. It's been a long time since I've been here, "he replied, to whom only a nod was given by the Emperor.


The voice of Weiyan Young, then presented a strong hegemony to the entire room. His expression that illustrates the seriousness, makes all people there also show similar things.


"Someone has killed the Third Prince" he said. Most of those who heard that were shocked; some of those who had already known it were ordinary.


The news of Youli Young's death has not been widely spread, because the war has just ended and some troops have not yet returned to the kingdom of—, the people do not feel suspicious because they have not seen the figure of the Third Prince who they think is joining the group subsequent.


"Who did it to the second brother, Ayahanda?" ask the Crown Prince. Her flat and beautiful face shows her obvious dominance and charisma.


"A woman. And I want one of you to marry her, because she has to bear the consequences for her actions" Weiyan explained.


"If so, I'll resign. I promised myself that I would only have a couple—and that couple, now waiting for me in our residence," said one of the princes, suddenly.


"No problem Second Prince. I will respect your decision" replied the Emperor. The son, then moved his head vertically while smiling thinly thankfully.


"If so, I will also resign, Father ...! After all, I don't deserve to carry out this task" said Prince Bertopeng, who had previously appeared to be disliked by people.


"After all, who would want to pick a piece of trash like you?" refute the Crown Prince, with his haughty face. "Ayahanda, considering that the Third Prince is a cultivator, then I'm sure that the woman who killed him, is certainly also a cultivator, right? He must not be an ordinary person. I am also a cultivator who is definitely more talented than second brother, so let this prince carry out this task. I promise to control him so he can give us more power" he said.


"can't. The statement of these two princes I refuse." The Emperor's suppressive remarks, shocked the people.


"What's up, Daddy? Why did you refuse my resignation. Are there still many princes? It's just me, shouldn't be a problem, should it?" asked the Masked Prince with brows that swooped inwards.


"Don't be presumptuous! What you said to Ayahanda was not polite" the Crown Prince said.


"Sorry, Father ...!" he said later, looking down deep.


"Of course, you can't resign because you're the one who's going to marry her." That statement, definitely jerked the entire hall.
