We're still inside the cruciatu palace and I'm currently thinking who the hell is that demonic A? Yes, I fought with his subordinates in the past, but I've never seen him before.
As I was thinking, someone tapped my shoulder. I was shocked, so my shoulders shrugged a little.
I looked at that person and it was Liam, with a worried face.
"Are you okay?" he asked me.
"I'm fine… I'm just thinking as to who is that demonic A? Does your family have a history or do your private teachers taught you about demonic A or did they even mention that name before?" I asked him.
"Unfortunately, we don't have any records about Demonic A, but we know his illegal transactions with the other families that use their power to ruin another family," he said.
"Father, Mother, Aunt Savannah, and Aunt Jin-Ae, do you have any idea as to who is demonic A?" I asked them. They went near us and looked at Julia, who is currently laying on the floor covered with her blood.
"Oh my… don't you think that you went too overboard?" aunt Jin-Ae asked.
"Mom, you know Liam, he shows no mercy to everyone, especially when it deals with this," Axel said.
"Oh, yes, you're right," aunt Jin-Ae replied.
"So? Do you know who the hell is Demonic A?" I asked them.
"We're sorry, but we don't know who he is or what he looks like… we only know that he is going to attack the Park Family and this empire," father said.
"Sorry for my intrusion, your highnesses… but I think I heard the name Demonic A from the previous empress before," someone said.
We looked behind me and we saw Captain Ice or also known as Captain Mikhael.
Did I forget to say that we are using codenames, such as empress, fire, water, ice and a lot more codenames because if we end up fighting another empire, our identity will only be shown as to what our codenames are. That's why, it is a 'must' for us to have our own codenames even though we don't want to.
"Why are you so stubborn?" I asked him immediately.
"Before I answer your question, your highness… why don't we put the spy to sleep first?" he said. Oh, yeah, right, the spy is still awake. I looked at Liam and he knocked out the spy with just a single punch. I smiled at him, then I hooked my arm to his left arm when he's already beside me.
"So? Why did you make a sudden decision to receive a punishment even though you don't deserve those punishments?" I asked him.
"As a knight, I should protect you, your highness, and that I should do whatever you want me to do even if it will cost my own life… the one that they injected to us is a potion that will make you physically sleeping, but mentally awake, so I know that you was poisoned by the enemy… and so, I concluded that I deserve the assassin's punishment for not fulfilling my duty as your personal knight and the captain of your knights," he said while kneeling down.
I sighed.
"If I said that you don't deserve to be punished, then that's it… no more arguments about that… also, what do you mean that you heard demonic A from aunt Jei-Jei?" I said.
"It's just like what I said earlier, I heard that name before… but I only heard it once when I'm guarding the late empress's room because of the sudden assassination of the emperor," he said.
"Why don't we look at the forbidden room of the main palace?" Ayumi said.
"But only the descendant of the Flame Medusa Empire will be able to pass through that door… you know that she insert a high voltage of electricity there to make sure that no one will be able to enter that room if you're not a descendant of Flame Medusa Empire," I said.
"But… you have the emperor's ring, so you should be fine, right? Since that ring also proves that you are the descendant of this Empire," she replied.
She's right, I can use that, but it will be faster to look for Demonic A's information if we look for it together and not just only me.
"I'll try to deactivate the high voltage that she inputted there… Rui, bring those two back to the dungeon and tie them up… don't lock them up in the same room because they might escape again," I ordered Rui.
"This loyal servant will now commence your order," he said. I nodded and told everyone, including Captain Mikhael and Ayumi to come with me.
We are currently walking to the hallway. I saw our head butler, so I asked him.
"Where are the other royalties?" I asked him.
"Greetings to her majesty, the empress, and her companions, may the gods and goddesses bless you for eternity… the other emperors and empresses are in the room of princess Lea," he replied.
"Thank you, also please prepare snacks for us," I said.
"Right away, your majesty," he said, then bowed down to us again. We continued walking and we're heading towards sister Lea's room.
I entered the room without knocking and I saw them talking with each other.
"It seems like you're all having fun?" I asked.
"Yui?! Why didn't you knock?" sister Lea asked me, while she raised her left eyebrow.
"Sorry, I forgot about the proper manner," I said.
"Did you finish interrogating him?" uncle Lukas asked.
"Yes, uncle… and I'm about to leave them here with all of you since I'm the only one who can enter the forbidden room," I said.
"What forbidden room?" aunt Serenity asked.
"It is the room of the previous empress, aunt Jei-Jei, and that room contains a lot of documents that you will not see inside the library or the office," I said.
"Why can't we go there?" uncle Kayden asked.
"Because the previous empress inserted a high voltage of electricity in that room's doors and you can only deactivate it for a few second if you prove that you are the descendant of this empire… also, once you enter that room, it will scan your body to make sure that you really are the descendant and if you're not, you will be electrocuted and will be thrown out of the room," I explained.
"Then, we'll wait for you here," uncle Sam said.
"If you are all tired, ask my maids or the head butler to show you to your rooms… also, I ordered the butler to bring snacks in this room," I said.
"Wow, this is the first time that you're being responsible since you became the empress of this empire," elder brother Louis said.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" I asked him coldly.
"N-Nothing," he replied.
"Don't speak anymore uncle Louis, or your life will end right here right now," Stephen said.
"Stephen? Your attitude is becoming more and more like a replica of your aunt Yui's attitude," sister Lea said.
"I'll go ahead and deactivate the room's security, so that it will also allow everyone of you to enter the forbidden room," I said.
"Ok, good luck," they said.
I walked out of the room and as usual, Captain Mikhael is following me, together with Rui.
"You don't have to follow me," I said.
"No can't do, your highness," they said.
I sighed.
After a few minutes of walking here and there in a roundabout manner, we reached aunt Jei-Jei's room.
"Stand back, both of you," I said. I don't want to be electrocuted with a high voltage just because of the malfunction in identifying who I am.
Both of them stand back a little. I stamp the seal of the emperor on the screen which is installed beside the room's door.
"Welcome to Empress Medusa's room, you may now enter, your majesty," the computer announced. I enter the room and stop for a few seconds for the scanning process.
"Welcome, Empress Flame… what you need is here, and what you're curious about is also here in this room… hope to find what you're looking for… if you want to ask for an assistance, go to the study table and you can search what you're looking for there and we will get it for you," the computer announced after scanning me.
This is her room. A room that has an artificial intelligence inserted in it. A room that is forbidden to other people except for the descendants of this empire. It is also a room that contains unknown information that she gathered without the emperor even knowing, but now, this room will be open to other empire's royalties for the destruction of the Dark Empire, forever.
