After Shinah told story's of her past, the three brothers moods ...were raging!
How dare they cause her to live such a degrading life... they wanted to kill every single one of those disgusting monsters for causing Shinah to live such a sorrowful life.
Shen thought back to the day she cried with him on Asui and thought that was the worst of it, but everything she told him today made him want to changed the way The Jade Emerald Kingdom was ruled.
He was the Crowned Prince... and never thought of abusing that title, but at this moment all he thought about was countless scenarios...to over throw the country, and burn those Kingdoms to the ground destroying all who dared to oppose him.
He definitely has some self reflecting and counter measures to make... to keep his siblings safe.
Even Akuma's usually bright eyes couldn't hide the hatred behind the sympathy he felt for his sister.
Unlike Kiyoshi he didn't have memories of a past life, as far as he knew this was his only life... but he'd never let anyone harm those he cared for.
Now knowing theres a snake in the grass, they'll proceed with caution while preparing a counter attack for it once it showed its fangs.
Kiyoshi pats Akuma's shoulder for comfort before he tells us of his life before he was reborn.
He remembers how Duke Lin orchestrated a coup to destroy the relationship between the nobles and military. He secretly only wanted to destroy the relationship between their Father the King and Uncle Yun his General.
While secretly allowing army from The Weeping Willow Kingdom to invade and take shipments of spirit stones and military weapons.
Duke Lin had personally kidnapped the brothers from the castle killing their grandparents, taking them when they had just turned fifteen, and kept them imprisoned under his house for three years.
Meanwhile playing the devils advocate, sowing discord between The Weeping Willow Kingdom and Jade Emerald Kingdom.
Then Duke Lin made a deal to 'capture' the brothers and hand them over to The Weeping Willow Kingdom in exchange for help in securing a priceless sacred treasure.
Since they invaded the Eastern Coast of the Jade Emerald Kingdom they were being blamed for the disappearance of the two young princes so it made sense to trade for the brothers to exact some revenge for their kingdoms loss of face.
So Duke Lin handed them over to Elves from The Weeping Willow Kingdom when they were eighteen. Where they received the worst kinds of experiments and torture for about seven years before there was a sudden change in Rulers, then he and Akuma were separated one was given to The Helion Iceland Kingdom and the other to The Spirit Crystal Kingdom for safe keeping.
They both were heavily sedated with drugs for the trip and unfortunately became addicted from then on. Which caused Kiyoshis memory to have some holes but after three years of imprisonment and substance abuse...
The Evil Elf King was back and killed the Reigning King and snatched his crown back, so they reunited at the age of twenty-eight back in The Weeping Willow Kingdom.
Lu Remington 'found out' they were still alive and went forth to save them with his soon to be wife Shinah, destroying The Weeping Willow Kingdom under those pretenses... after the war she finally brought them home at the age of Thirty... but their youth was gone and their sole purpose for living was focused on getting their next drug fix.
Before he could live happily reunited with his parents, The Spirit Crystal Kingdom captured the King and Queen under suspicions of betrayal of their treaty.
His parents were sentenced to death shortly after.
Seven years later he heard about Shinahs betrayal against her husband ..and her death, but he no longer considered her family since she was married to the man who held him captive for three years, and had a part in his parents death...he assumed she was a monster like the man she married.
He died at the age of forty, by a forced drug overdose by Lu Remington's personal guard.
He accidentally overheard some information about another piece of sacred treasure being discovered.
He assumed Shinah was either possessed or killed, or just evil to be at Lu Remington's side, till he heard her past life's memories. He understood what really happened and was pissed.
He felt disgust at his own weakness.
He wanted to make 'them' pay... death was too good for them. He wanted 'them' to feel his pain, and suffer a fate worse off than his.
He would make 'them' regret trying to cross him and his loved ones.
His shoulders trembled, revealing the repressed pain within him.
When he woke up reborn he threw himself madly into his studies and cultivated like crazy. He hit Expert Stage Spirit Master at the age of eleven and is still pushing himself and Akuma to achieve the power strong enough, to fight back this time around. No... he's needs to become stronger than his enemies, so he could completely obliterate them into nothingness. Only then ... would he be free, of the oppression that their wickedness weighed..his soul down with.
The siblings consoled one another until nightfall. Discussions on counter attacks and certain ways to disrupt Duke Lin's easygoing life as he was their first target... the instigator that caused it all.
