Alexus growled stifled. The man gets word from his spies that both of Athera's parents were killed. Alexus has sent someone to pass the news on to Athera's older brother, who still lives in the border area under attack.

"What about conditions, Athera?" muttered Alexus.

The man was in his very dark room even though it was so bright outside today, the man did not let the sunlight through into his room.

Alexus believes that now Athera is very hit, he can not go there to reach Athera. Alexus is fed up with Regaz's attitude. Whether Athera made a little mistake until Regaz killed the parents of the woman he loved. Alexus this time will act quickly, he will not let Athera stay there for a long time.

"I will bring Athera to my kingdom" Alexus said.

Then at the same time, somewhere in the kingdom of Regaz. Concubine Gresha was in a hurry to visit Athera, when she heard that both of Athera's parents had died. He wanted to visit Athera and see her condition. Gresha cares a lot about Athera because it was Gresha Athera who was able to help Regaz lead Virtucal Esse and the whole region here. Gresha is Regaz's best friend. He is married to Regaz because the man wants to save Gresha when her family falls into poverty. And for Regaz; gresha was like her own sister.

Gresha stopped her steps when someone patted her on the shoulder. Gresha blinked comically when she realized the person. She is Gresia, twin sister of Gresha.

"Sister." Gresia smiled at her brother.

Gresha immediately pulled her sister away from there, taking Gresia to her residence.

"Why did you come here? You can't just go in, Gresia," said Gresha.

"And what is this?" Gresha touches Gresia's hair. This girl dyed her brown hair into a golden color like hers.

Gresia who was originally smiling kindly now showed her cynical smile. He was very envious to see his brother can live in the kingdom with full of luxury.

"Sister.. Can we exchange a few days, I want to enjoy your world first" said Gresia.

Gresha knew very well the contents of his sister's cunning brain. Gresia likes Regaz as well as crazy possessions, if she let Gresia, surely this sister would make a big deal.

"Go home" Gresha's out.

Gresia smiled cynically then she took out a handkerchief and stuffed her sister's nose. Gresha rebelled however, the scent on the handkerchief made her drowsy and unconscious.

"I hate rejection, Brother. Eums.. Young master Khung also ordered me to do something and in return I could become an insider in this kingdom," Gresia said, dragging her sister into a small room inside her brother's room. He binds Gresha and smothers Gresha's mouth. Gresia smiled with satisfaction then started exploring Gresha's belongings and wearing them.

...****...

Arthur just got a message that both his parents died from being killed. The man with a burly body, had a body height more than Regaz, his mature brown skin with a sharp gaze was instantly rushing to leave his guard at the border. He took his horse to return to the palace. He wanted to see the bodies of his parents and his two beloved sisters. Arthur will completely destroy the kingdom of Regaz. Then take her sister away from there.

Arthur was the strongest of the Gazianors. He was forced to become a great commander at the expense of his strength for Virtucal Esse. Arthur knows that he was only made a pawn by Regaz. But if he acts rashly then his family and people will suffer. Same position as Athera. However, Arthur had run out of patience when he heard that both his parents had died. He gets word from Alexus' spy. Arthur and Alexus are best friends.

While Athera had now returned to the kingdom with Regaz, they rode horses and chose to walk when entering the kingdom. The man changed back their appearance just before coming to the kingdom. Athera had treated Regaz's hand anyway.

" Are you going to Ruoxi's manicure?" tanya Athera tried to disturb the silence.

Regaz kept looking straight ahead. " I ordered him to come back."

" Why?"

Regaz glanced at Athera at a glance, then replied coldly, "Because he is negligent in protecting you."

Athera chose pensively after hearing Regaz's reply. Now Regaz had entered the road to his pavilion but, first they had to pass through the streets of the concubine's residence, now Athera was away from Regaz when the concubines were surrounding Regaz. Athera doesn't like this.

" Give us the way, "Regaz said after regaining Athera's hand and then led him away to the Athera pavilion. Athera could see concubine Yuen looking at her hate. But Athera hates to see Consort Yuen because Consort Yuen and her brother may have killed both of her parents.

"Athera, come in."

Athera gasped, he was too busy with his own thoughts to the point of not realizing that Regaz had been standing before the door of his pavilion. Athera nodded stiffly then Regaz immediately left.

Athera looked at Regaz's back carefully and then he touched his chest.

" I... couldn't possibly like someone like Regaz, right?" athera murmur.

...***...

Regaz sneers at his temple, having learned that Yuen's older concubine committed the murder of Athera's parents. Regaz had been planning to bring together the poison masters as well as Consort Yuen's older brother somewhere. He had sent a fake letter to the guest as well as to Consort Yuen's brother. Regaz doesn't involve Consort Yuen here because she doesn't know her brother's actions.

Tier had been standing before Regaz at Ruoxi's company as well. They have some evidence to wait for the right time to frame the perpetrator.

" Is everything okay?" ask Regaz.

" You mean, Empress?" tanya Tier with a slightly seductive tone.

Ruoxi held back her laughter when she saw both of Regaz's earlobes blushing, a sign she was embarrassed.

" No. I mean, doesn't Arthur know about this?"

Tier and Ruoxi immediately nodded. " No."

" Good, it'd be dangerous if Arthur found out."

" What do you really fear about Arthur, Your Majesty?" ask Ruoxi

" Nothing. I'm just worried that if He comes to cause trouble then I subconsciously kill him. I'm afraid someone hates me even more" replied Regaz.

Ruoxi and Tier looked at each other. They knew who that person was called by Regaz. The two of them smiled cunningly then approached Regaz. Tier chose to stand to the left of Regaz while Ruoxi stood to the right of Regaz. While Regaz only raised next to his brow confused. These two people suddenly massaged each other's shoulders.

" It looks like you have to monitor the Empress, she could have escaped tonight and injured herself" Tier said.

"Yes, we can't take care of him Your Majesty. The empress is too aggressive we have trouble coping with it" Ruoxi said.

Regaz smiled sarcastically. " How much did Athera actually pay you?"

Tier proudly replied, "The beauty of the Empress, makes our hearts melt."

DEG!

Tier instantly silenced his mouth, now Regaz was smiling broadly at him with a vicious look. " Try you repeat, Tier."

Tier flutter, "Retha is more beautiful than the Empress, i-that's what I mean."

"Oh, so you're saying my wife is less beautiful than Retha?"

Tier looked at Ruoxi asking for help however, Ruoxi only showed a mocking smile.

"You both go to security, that's your punishment" Regaz said, then moved from his seat.

" What's our fault, Your Majesty?" ask them simultaneously.

Regaz did not turn his head to look at the two men, "Tier, your mistake is to compare the beauty of Athera and Ruoxi your mistake was to go together with Athera this morning."

Regaz came out. Letting the two guards look at each other then shuffle frustrating hair.

...***...

And tonight Gresia was getting ready, she commented a thin smile while removing two bottles of poison given by young master Khung Goryu. He made a drink in a beautiful ancient carved teapot with two glasses on a tray. Gresia stuffed the contents of the two bottles while humming a little.

"Sister, tonight I will kill your rival, thank me" Gresia said as she opened the room where she kept Gresha.

"Gmm!" Gresha tried to speak however, her mouth was smothered.

" I'm going to kill Athera and his sister! The drug!"

BRACKET!

Afterwards Gresia closed the door and left the place

Elsewhere, where Athera is. Athera intends to visit the residence of Consort Gresha. He did not see Consort Gresha from the morning, so he decided to visit Gresha anyway only the concubine cared about him.

The residence of Consort Gresha is very quiet apparently, usually if he entered the grounds there are many servants who passed by. Athera walked into the residence. Very quiet, was Consort Gresha going out until the servants accompanied her?

"This is her room?" Athera stared at the big door there. Then open the door slowly.

Oh my! So messy!

Lots of clothes came out of the closet, not to mention the grooming tools scattered.

"You're this?"

Athera sniffed, smelling a familiar scent, and Ahera moved to a small table in Gresha's room. There were two small bottles lying there without filling and then Ahera grabbed it and sniffed it.

" This poison! There's no way Gresha, is there?" Athera pocketed the two bottles then intended to come out however, the step stopped when he heard a faint cry.

"Gmm!"

"Gmm!"

Athera stared at the door before her then opened it quickly. Athera silenced her mouth with both hands, her eyes perfectly rounded.

"Gresha! Who did this?"

Athera immediately untied Gresha's legs and hands, then Athera slowly opened the cloth in Gresha's mouth.

Gresha cried then clutching the strong Athera shirt. " Where is Retha? Your brother's in danger!"

"What do you mean?"

"My return is about to kill Rethah and you with poison! Hurry up to Retha, I'm still weak."

Athera immediately ran away from Gresha, Athera ran so fast, fear had mastered it. He hopes that Rethah will be okay.

"Lord, please, protect Retha," Inner Athera during the run."

...SERIATE......
