Shion had recovered completely, both of his eyes no longer hurt, but Shion's facial expression did not look fine. All day long he just sat down grimly on the bed, he didn't get the least out of the bed. Shion seemed to be thinking about something, his countenance was very lethargic, there was no glee from his lines. Shion sighed many times while occasionally turning his gaze towards the window. The atmosphere of the palace today also sounded crowded because within two days the imperial conference would be held soon.
‘I remember the past, I remember why I met Princess Krystal. When I remember it, my heart ached, but the Princess always brought her sweet smile to make my heart better. He was like the sun, he taught me how to love, and he also bestowed his love on me.’
Shion suddenly remembers her past, before meeting Krystal, Shion is an orphan who has been left dead by her parents since the age of 13. Shion was famous by her clever brain so she was adopted by a famous noble family in the Orlin Kingdom. At first everything goes smoothly until Shion grows up, all her needs are met by her adoptive family. Starting from learning needs, martial arts, until the connection goes into the palace.
Shion was eventually appointed as a court advisor, his performance always praised by the nobles to the common people. Shion had truly entrusted his entire life to the Orlin Kingdom. At least Shion does not suspect the adoptive family or the kingdom, until something happens that is not desirable, namely Shion accused as the mastermind of the rebellion planned by his adoptive family.
Shion has been trying to convince everyone that he never planned a rebellion. However, who would have thought that no one believed Shion despite the overwhelming evidence that showed that she was not the mastermind. Finally, there is more powerful false evidence from his adoptive family to frame Shion. Later the Orlin King named Shion as the prime suspect of the rebellion.
Of course Shion did not take the decision of the King of Orlin for granted, after deciding to punish Shion with the death penalty, Shion rampaged in the Kingdom of Orlin. At that moment a great battle erupted involving Shion and the Orlin Kingdom. Armed with a harmonica as his flagship weapon, Shion managed to eliminate the Orlin Kingdom.
Afterwards, Shion meets with Krystal in a state of severe injury after fighting to destroy the Orlin Kingdom. Since being betrayed, Shion does not easily trust others. Although his eyes can be used as an aura detector, at that time he was still not able to use them to the fullest. Ever since meeting Krystal he had been able to use his aura eyes without any constraints.
‘Mr Princess is a person who does not profit from me, she has a sincere heart. So, however I must be able to protect him from the pursuit of the enemy, at least I want to be useful by presenting myself fully to the Princess.’
Meanwhile, at the same time, Austin was busy practicing swordsmanship in the field of swordsmanship. His focus has been a little distracted lately because he is thinking about the fate of the world in the future and the fate of Krystal who seems to be on the edge. Not only Austin, even the other concubines felt the same way.
“I must not die .. I must become stronger in order to protect the Princess. Ever since I escaped from the poisonous sword clan, I have been living alone without a single friend. Now the Princess gave me a home to shelter, a friend to talk to, and gave me her immense affection. Although there are seven concubines here, but he was able to be fair to us,” murmured Austin.
Austin is the kind of guy who gets jealous when he sees a woman he loves close to a man other than himself. However, Austin always tries to lower his ego so that Krystal is not uncomfortable with its nature.
‘I so remember the past, the poisonous sword clan none of them accepted my existence, be it my Father or Mother because of my blood containing poison. There have been many among the poisonous sword clans who died as a result of being accidentally touched by my blood so they chose to ignore me and distance my existence from the outside world. But, I managed to get out of there and arrive at Albertine like this time.’
Austin paused his practice for a moment, he leaned his head up into the sky to enjoy the hot sun. Austin thought the sky was beautiful that day, dating Krystal was the best thing to do.
At that time, a group of knights came to Austin, all knights were knights who had overcome Austin before. Now that they had come wanting to provoke Austin's anger, Austin's expression immediately turned cold as soon as they saw them coming to surround him.
“Hey, commoners, what are you doing here? Are you practicing?” said a knight accompanied by the sound of laughter from his other friend.
“Do not call her a commoner again, now she is officially a concubine of Princess Krystal.”
“Gosh, I forgot about that, but what good is it to be the concubine of a Princess born of a woman of the night? Nothing has changed from its status.”
They kept making taunting remarks to Austin and Krystal, their laughter irritating Austin. Then Austin looked back at them one by one, the piercing glare of Austin's eyes made them silent.
“Did you guys just insult Princess Krystal? It seems that you guys are so strong that you dare to insult the imperial members, let alone that the woman you despise is the woman I love. You guys want to meet hell sooner?” gertak Austin's.
They stared as they heard Austin's cold words and pierced to the bone. It felt as if their spirits were about to leave the body that second as well, Austin did not take his eyes off them in the slightest.
“Why are you guys just quiet? Don't you really want to die at my hands? Hey, let's talk to the sword! I'll show you how hell really forms.”
Austin pointed his sword at them one by one, challenging the knights to attack him with a sword.
“You just challenged us? Alright, do not regret for already daring to challenge the palace knights.”
They pulled the scabbard and attacked Austin one by one, but none of them could defeat Austin's sword. They did so repeatedly until Austin finally carried out a retaliatory attack. In an instant Austin moved to slash their bodies using his sword, they were uprooted by an attack from Austin.
“Weak basis! I will never let anyone who insults the Princess get out of my sight. Let's just say it's a warning from me before you really find your death in my hands.”
