"Master, they have crossed the borders. Everything is clear now"
After hearing those words, the couple releases a sigh of relief.
In that room, only the couple, General Zhang, and two loyal servants were present.
"Father, is it the only way?" Gozun asked in a wary voice.
"Yes, I'm afraid this is the only way" He sighed and continued.
"Little Meiling must be sent to her maternal grandmother to ensure her protection. I will assign Delun to protect her."
Although Zhang Feifei married into the Zhang Family, she was actually the daughter of a duke in another Empire. The Zhang Family on the other hand, is Military family from Yuan Kingdom which is under Huanyu Empire.
A Kingdom is distinguished by one to five star, five being the highest. They are usually under an Empire which governs seven or more kingdoms.
The reason why Zhang family's eldest son is held captive in another kingdom is because of their power.
Yuan Kingdom is a Five star Kingdom, with the support of the Zhang family, they can start a war and Become an independent Empire.
Huanyu Empire will not only lose one of its backbones but may also demote to a kingdom.
With the pretense of 'making a strong alliance', Zhang's eldest son was sent to another enemy's kingdom as one of the alliance representatives.
Deep into the night, a man covered in black walked silently away from the Zhang resident. Not afar from the Zhang couple who has tears on their cheeks.

Shang Empire...
"Why did you bring that dirty thing to the Wang family?" Delun got shocked by Wang Ning's words.
If he only knew that she harbors bad intentions towards her sister, he would have brought the child to its Maternal grandmother directly.
"I order you to dispose of that child. Here are a hundred pieces of gold. never appear in front of me or you will die!" Wang Ning throws a bag full of gold coins to Delun. Before he can even speak, the guards dragged him away.
He was fortunate enough that he didn't talk back. He was afraid that Wang Ning will change her mind and order the guards to kill the child on the spot.
Delun was an orphaned boy Zhang Feifei helped on the street. In Wang Ning's mind, It only takes money for him to move so she didn't bother to double-check if he really killed the child.
After all, this is not the first time he paid Delun to do something dirty for her.
Delun shakes his head as he tries to forget the past.
"I'm sorry master, I must do my best to survive, this world is too cruel. I'm still the coward Delun, nothing has changed." He murmured into the nothingness.

In an old abandoned-looking house, a knock could be heard. A man with a gray beard opens the door, finding a basket with a baby carefully looking at his eyes. Her eyes twinkle like a jewel under the moon.
Only a note and a ring was found on the baby, the man picks it up...
looked around...
And once again, the old abandoned-looking house is closed.
