Both of them stopped on their track and leaned to the pole on the hallway.
Vast night sky with many stars beaming on the sky, this is her first time to saw a sky full of stars like this. It was simply pleasant to the eyes, so captivating.
"Black sword clan is in City M district 10. They are the biggest clans in this kingdom. Many elite of swordsmen and spies are from there. You can called black sword clan is the backbone of the military"
Sounds very powerful…
"The headman of black sword clans is the former Main Unit Commander"
"You mean Elder Dam?"
"Yes. He stepped down from his position 3 years ago and Prince Xiao Jun took over his position. He was an advisor when the Emperor Xiao Zong still on the throne"
"He was abdicated?"
"No. The Emperor and the Empress were killed 15 years ago. It supposed to be the crown prince Xiao Jun who ascended the throne. But in that time crown prince still 18 years old and the elder thought he was too young to rule the nation, thus, Emperor Xiao Zong younger brother Emperor Xiao Zi who took the reign, however up until now in the eyes of citizens we are just acknowledge Prince Xiao Jun and Prince Xiao Tianyao as Princes. Some people even made a fused about Prince Xiao Jun to take over the throne"
"Why? Is the current Emperor not performs well?"
He shook his head with regrets. "Not only that. He even wanted to adopted other country culture"
"What culture?" Senja stared at him questioningly.
"To have many women as concubines"
Senja raised her eyebrows. Was not that a normal? It was written in the history.
"That never happened before. We never took other women to take part in our household. Our women are our pride. Once we take a woman as our wife then she will be the solely woman in lifetime. Unless death did them parts, both party will not remarried."
Waaa!!! I love this culture!!!
"But the current Emperor wanted to make a marital relation with other kingdom with married one of their princess. Not to mention he was too old to married again"
Both of them chuckled.
"Even without marital relation our military strong enough to defend any attack from outside. We are one of the strongest kingdoms, Commander Xiao Tianyao is the War Demon himself after all"
"War Demon?" Sound so dominance.
He nodded vigorously "He and his brother spent most of their time in the military, even since late Emperor and Empress still alive. I never been in war with both of them but, from what people said, Commander Xiao Tianyao leadership and swordsmanship were remarkable. Rumors said he was able to take down 500 soldiers by himself" He said with glittered of pride in his eyes.
No wonder he has many scars. Hmm… I like this dangerous guy!
"Compared to the current crown prince, First Prince Xiao Jun is more divine. He was able to take over our neighbor kingdom without shedding blood. Make them our alliance. No wonder many people wanted him to take the reign"
Broad smiled on his face reminded Senja about a teenager who was talking about their idol. Perhaps in ordinary people eyes, imperial family was like an idol and role model of life.
Showbiz not yet existed in this era after all.
"The current crown prince, although he is a North Lieutenant he has no achievement. Most of his time he spends in palace with crown princess or in brothel and let North territory controlled by his subordinate"
It supposed to be a taboo topic to talk bad thing about imperial family, but he didn't know why, he felt comfortable feeling to talk anything with Senja.
Senja looked at him with awed. "You knew many things"
