"never! even if you are the king, how dare you demand one of my people marry your foolish son?!" old master scorching sun shouted. the people continued doing what they were doing as if they didn't hear anything. " now now, calm down, old master scorching sun." old master flowing water said with a smile. " hmmm, i am as displeased about this as you are, but, since it is what he wants." the king looked down at the girl coldly.
" haha, why the stiff atmosphere? isn't it what both parties want?" a lazy laughter caused the three old masters to turn their heads. the three princes walked through the large doorway, one wore a sullen expression, with a gloomy air hanging over him, the first prince. the second prince had a smile on his face, as he walked lazily into the hall. and the third prince, a determined expression on his face, his fists clenched tightly.
" the second prince...." the three old master looked at the second prince, ignoring the other two, old master scorching sun even forgot his anger. " please grant my wish, three clan heads!" the third prince walked up to the three old masters, bowing deeply before them. " why would i marry a child from my scorching sun clan to a trash like you, who is also his son?" old master scorching sun exploded. from the begining, he showed no respect to the king. " don't be like that, old man." the second prince's lazy voice rang out. " i shall teach you some respect, brat!" old master scorching sun released a scorching hot qi, which caused the bricks under him to start melting.
" who are you to discipline my son?" the king spoke. he looked down at old master scorching sun, and without releasing any qi, a large pressure enveloped old master scorching sun. " please calm down your highness, old man scorching sun is just like that, please don't take offense." old master flowing water said with a smile. "..." the king looked at old master flowing water, causing beads of sweat to appear on the Latter's face. " fine." the king closed his eyes, as the invisible pressure dissapeared.
if he didn't have a use for them, the king would have killed the three old masters. but even though he knew that he was stronger than them individually, if all of them attacked him together, it would become troublesome. " back to what i was saying." the second prince's lips lifted into a light smile. " shouldn't you just allow my brother to marry the girl? i mean, she will not find anyone else to marry." he said as he squinted his eyes. " you..." veins bulged on old master scorching sun's face. wasn't that brat implying that a girl from his clan wasn't eligible for marriage?
" don't get me wrong, old man. i'm just saying..." the second prince paused. " second brother...." the third prince called out, he had a bad feeling. " when a woman is still pure, there is a faint aura around them, like they're still a part of nature, untouched and untainted...." the second prince continued, his smile deepening. " i am quite sensitive to that aura, since the first princess who raised us brothers, radiates it. so why is it..." he paused. " that i don't feel that aura coming from that girl?" the second prince's smile broke into a grin, as he looked at the girl, who's face was now awfully pale.
" you! what are you insinuating?! a child from the distinguished scorching sun clan would never lose their purity before marriage!" old master scorching sun shouted, before glancing at the girl. seeing her pale completion, his expression darkened. " you....." he was quite shocked. since when had his scorching sun clan become like this? boom! " if i don't kill you here, how can my scorching sun clan regain it's face?" he released his qi once again, slapping out. crack! " hlase whait!" the third prince took the powerful slap instead, all of the teeth in the right side of his mouth were knocked out, as the skin on his cheek was scorched. old master scorching sun held back just in time, otherwise the third prince's brain would have been decorating the floor.
the blow even fractured his skull slightly, but no matter how dizzy he was, he kept standing. "....from this day forward, you are not a prince of this continent. you are stripped of that title. your estate will be confiscated, any money that you can take with your hands, will be yours to keep. leave my sight." the king closed his eyes halfway through this. since he knew that his son wouldn't give up, and the scorching sun can would kill the girl anyway, couldn't he just grant his son's wish? even if he didn't agree with it, he would not make his son suffer. "htank you thather!" the third prince dropped to his knees and bowed to the king, who could not bear to look at his pitiful son.
" no need to thank father, third brother." the second prince began walking towards the third prince. "..." the third prince got up from the ground and pushed the girl behind him protectectively. " i really don't care what you do with your pathetic life. but.." he tapped the third prince's shoulder. " if you make our sister wear an expression like that again..." a dark, gloomy qi erupted from the second prince's body, causing the candles to flicker, the decorative cloth blowing in the wind. " i will kill you." he said simply. his expressionless face caused not only the 3rd prince to feel a sense of dread, but the people at the banquet froze, without moving or talking, they just stopped.
after saying that, the second prince walked out of the hall, without looking back at anyone in it.
...
in the white tower.
Levi was still in the bed, his eyes closed. he could feel the different bloodlines in his body, although they were restrained by old gray's inscription. he found that he could pressure them slightly by only thinking about it, but still, that was only possible because of the restricting inscription. if the bloodlines were not restricted, his measly pressure wouldn't mean anything. but he believed that he would be able to do it easily if he kept practicing. "boy, i have the materials." old gray appeared in the room and spoke, causing Levi to open his eyes. " tsk tsk, robbing an old man of his treasures, aren't you ashamed?" old gray said jokingly.
