"Your Majesty, if you act over the rules, the officials will corner your position at the meeting!" yu reminded.
It had become imperative for heroes returning from battle to report to the palace before they returned home. However King Wei had ignored this rule ever since he got married.
Yu was worried because ever since King Wei got the title of King, there were always people who wanted to drop his power. Either because they were afraid of King Wei or because of envy because they never defeated King Wei in all aspects.
The actions of King Wei who violated the rules could backfire on him, the officials would make this mistake an excuse to take King Wei down in front of the Emperor.
"Don't worry, I'll never submit to them!" replied King Wei with a relaxed face.
Yu could only sigh seeing the arrogant nature of the man served by him.
Zhun Tian was sitting on the balcony of a restaurant, the man was watching the welcome made by the people for their heroes from up there.
"That man, the husband of my savior he's a hero nicknamed the god of war. His face always wears a mask, not many people know what his real face looks like. I became curious about the man who managed to win the heart of the woman. What is it about her that makes her love her so much?" inner Zhun Tian.
King Wei looked up, the balcony of the restaurant. He was looking for the existence of someone who was looking at him so sharply. Their eyes met, King Wei only smiled sinisterly looking at Zhun Tian who showed no signs of hostility.
King Wei wondered inwardly, "Who is that man? Why does he keep looking at me?"
THE RESIDENCE OF KING WEI
Waiters pacing back and forth throughout the residence, they prepared a welcoming party for the return of the hero who was being talked about by the public, who was certainly one of the masters and soldiers of this residence.
"The Queen, the food is all ready."
"The empress, the red carpet we've named along the way to the hall."
"Empress, we've finished arranging the tables and chairs according to the arrangement on this paper."
"The Empress, the dancers have arrived. They're waiting in the backyard."
"The queen, the tree at the door we have decorated perfectly according to your instructions."
The waiter paced back and forth in front of Se Se while reporting all the tasks they had completed and the report regarding the preparation of the event to welcome the hero from the residence who was about to return.
The woman stood under the persimmon tree that had just been bearing fruit, she looked up at the tree as she said, "I'm so happy that the war has ended in such a short time. They all must have had a hard day on the battlefield, I hope this party can be an entertainment and a tired release.
"Master, are you okay?" asked Huo Feng who had appeared out of nowhere.
Se Se jumped in shock due to Huo Feng's sudden presence. He looked at the man with an annoyed face while nagging, "Why do you always show up all of a sudden? Can't you go through the main gate and act like a guest like a regular? You've always said you're a great phoenix, but all I see from you is a spying bird that likes to break into people's homes without permission."
Huo Feng just silently heard all the chatter from his master. She understood that the woman's heart was in a state of anxiety after a long time of anxiety and worry for her husband who went to war.
After a long and wide nag, the woman ended up crying very sad and heartbreakingly. Huo Feng simply accompanied beside him speechlessly.
A few minutes passed, his master looked calmer. He wiped his tears with the handkerchief given by Huo Feng.
"I'm not okay, I don't feel better either. I feel so bad, I feel angry and hate all the bad things that have happened in my life.
"I just want a simple life that is calm and happy, but the word calm is very far from my life.
"I always try to avoid trouble, but somehow it always comes to me.
"I've always thought about helping people who need help, but why do so many people who wish for disaster come to me and my family?
"I was so angry thinking about all this. I want to destroy them all so that no one else can harm my family and friends.
"Feng, you must have thought that I was so selfish, right? Many people are born suffering more, but I complain instead of my luxurious life as an Empress."
Huo Feng took out his wings, he patted the back of his master who was having a lot of questions and worries in his life.
"Don't worry, from now on I'll be the protector here. I'll make sure those people can't touch you anymore" Huo Feng said still as he patted Se Se's back which felt heavy for him.
A servant walked in hasty steps towards where Se Se stood. He looked at Huo Feng who was revealing his wings while patting his wings onto the back of their Empress.
Shocked by the shock of falling to the ground, she screamed in a hysterical voice, "Mon... The monster!!! Help...! There's a monster that caught the Empress!"
Hearing the screaming sound from his servant, Se Se turned to stare towards the direction the voice came from. He approached the servant, reached out his hand to help him stand up.
"Don't be afraid! He's my friend, not a monster" he said, still holding out his hand.
Yet the maid seemed to be in disbelief at the Empress' words, she crawled backwards to get away.
Huo Feng immediately disappeared after hearing the sound of the footsteps of the bodyguards heading there. Se Se was still trying to calm down the trembling maid.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" ask a guard.
"There was nothing, this servant was just shocked and fell down. Please take her back to her room." Se Se's orders.
The maid was so shocked that she could not speak, her eyes still widened without blinking a single bit. He stared at Se Se who was also looking at him, Se Se's eyes as if hinting at the maid to shut up and keep secret what she had just seen.
After the departure of the bodyguards, Huo Feng reappeared and said, "Sorry, I'm adding more trouble for you."
Se Se suddenly just laughed loosely, after stopping his laughter, he looked at Huo Feng.
"Thank you for listening to me. You must be very bored, but you're still staying here and listening to everything. I'm really grateful to you Feng!" he said with a sincere smile.
Huo Feng's face reddened, he felt ashamed hearing the words from Se Se for him. "I just kept quiet and did nothing. So don't thank me! If you feel better, just give your blood as a gift to me!"
A man in white clothes had just arrived there, he heard Huo Feng's last sentence. "Blood?" he said in his heart.
