"There are 3 formidable forces clan, one of it was misty cloud clan besides our clan and crescent dew clan. Their specialty is silent assassination. Once they sent their silent assassins then the target would be dead without anyone knowing it. Their assassins were remarkable none of any forces in this vast continent had been able to captured them alive, in the critical moment they choose suicide as an escape, hence no matter what, we never knew anything about them.
In this entire year they kept low profile and work behind the scene. Originally, our country has never had anything that related to them or crossing path with their business. But I don't know how they were mingled with Tianyou and tried to assassinate him a couple of time"
"He never said anything about that?"
"He talks about something like personal grudge but didn't explain further. His married alone was something that opposed by Emperor and all the higher up official. The Emperor even stripped off his military power and forced him to chase his wife away or else his privilege as a prince would be revoked"
"And what he did?" Knitted in Senja brows deepen. She stared at her grandfather with complicated expression.
"Of course with personality like him he would never yield to that kind of threat. He was an affectionate young crazy guy" Even though Elder Dam was complaining about him but there was a tinge warm in his voice.
"He gave up on his military power and has a cold war with the Emperor until today"
"He gave up?!" It was unbelievable. Was he kind of male lead in romance drama that chose love over power? Is a man like that actually existed? "Why the emperor opposed him so hard? Is that because his wife isn't coming from a royal family?"
"That is one of the reasons the other reason was because her origin is unknown. Luna and Tianyou met each other when Azura's army that led by Tianyou, 6 year ago, expanding their territory to the north land and conquered Xinghe kingdom. I don't know the detail but they were married and Tianyou brought her back to his manor
In the most common opportunity the Emperor didn't have authority to modulate imperial wedding, when prince from our kingdom marry someone who has lower social class they were free to do so. As long as they were not ascended the throne"
"Is this what you called love blossom in battlefield?" Senja muttered softly to herself.
They are free to marry anyone even from lower social status as long as they didn't ascend the throne? Isn't it very lenient? Is that common here? Why this kingdom law very different from what I knew?
"Perhaps the Emperor and the other higher officials thought she was a spy from Xinghe kingdom that was why he rejected her?"
"Possible. I thought the same too at that time. When the Emperor revoked his military power I wanted to coax him to rethink his decision but, upon seeing how dearly he loves Luna, I could just swallowed my words and advice him for the worse scenario if what other people prejudice about Luna was true however Tianyou very firm that she wasn't"
"Since the Emperor opposed her so bad, didn't he ever thought about the possibility of the assassination was orchestrated by the Emperor?"
"No, if the Emperor really used the misty cloud clan errand to kill his wife, The Emperor would be violated many laws especially the rule with black sword clan, aside from our force, Azura's Kingdom not allow to use any forces from another clan. The Emperor wouldn't dare to do so, it will endanger his position.
Moreover, Tianyou was very certain it was personal grudge between misty cloud clan and him. But this thing that I confused the most, how could be Tianyou come cross to their bad side"
