Chapter 14 - TKMK 13: SHADOW KNIGHT, CASANOVA KNIGHT, and STEPHEN (THE DEMON KNIGHT)

Third Person's POV

As the royalties entered they saw a woman looking at her window and wearing a gown with fur. They can also see two knights in her left and right side.

"Thank you Earth and Lazy Doctor… you may now leave us" said the mysterious girl.

"We shall take our leave" both Flora and Isabella replied and left the room.

"Long time no see, four idiots and brother" the lady in gown said then turned around.

"Sister?!" Liam said and walked towards the princess of the Flame Empire, but the two knights pointed their swords towards Liam that made Liam stop walking.

"Hello, brother… it's been a few years since we saw each other, also both of you… lower your swords… that's my brother," the princess said. They lowered their swords then moved back a little.

"You're the princess of the Flame Empire?" Liam asks.

"Yes… please have a sit, we still need to discuss something," the princess wolf said. Her real name is Lea Park, the elder sister of Liam Park.

"How?" they ask.

"The previous empress asked me to be part of her kingdom for a reason… and now, that reason is finally happening… Once the war ended, we can now leave the empire and go to where we truly belong… we're just here to make sure that she, the current empress, will not berserk once the war started," Lea stated.

"Then, the person that you said on the phone awhile ago is big brother Louis?" Liam asked.

"Yes Liam," Lea said.

"Princess Wolf, prince Demon is here" the head butler of the palace announced. The princess seems nervous since she broke the first rule, which is to wear a mask if they will invite an outsider.

"Let him in," Lea shouted. The door opened and a boy with a black hair, and in a knight outfit came in. The boy kneeled on one knee.

"Greetings, mother," he said, then rose up. He went near her and stood beside her.

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet my son, Stephen… he is also one of the knights in our empire, Stephen, they are your uncles,"

"Greetings, royalties… I'm Stephen Park, not Smith since my father is not acknowledging me as his son… It's nice to meet you all" Stephen said, then bowed to them.

"No need for formalities little Stephen… we are your uncle, so just act like you normally do," Yuuto said.

"This is me, uncle Yuuto"

"How did you know our names?" they asked.

"Who wouldn't? You're popular in PU, our empress also told me the real names of each empire's rulers"

"I really want to know your empress because of the fact that even if we're not actually showing our face in or outside our empire… the empress can still guess or can still tell who we are," Yuuto said in amazement.

"Mom, can I do something?" little Stephen said.

"Do whatever you want to do," Lea said. He nodded at her mother and looked at the 2 knights and gave them a menacing look.

"Both of you can now get out of here… call the 2nd and 3rd ranked knights and tell them that they should be here in a few minutes due to the fact that our empress is in danger… after that, go to Fire and tell him that I gave an order that both of you will receive his SPECIAL training," Stephen said while still having that menacing look.

The 2 knights shivered from fear and couldn't even look at him, while the others were confused and quietly listening.

"Son… why are you giving them a punishment?" Lea said.

"First of all, mother, they did not tell you to wear your mask… you know our rules… you knew that whenever we are going to invite someone in the empire and that someone doesn't know our identity, we should wear our mask except for those people who are in the lower ranks… everyone knows about our rules before they enter our empire… and thanks to someone that they'll receive Fire's special training… also, mother… you know that our empress will handle the negotiation, but you still force yourself in doing this kind of thing… remember that you have my little sister in your womb, you should just take care of yourself," the little prince scolded her mother, but still in a manner, while the others are just watching them.

The little Little Prince looked at the 2 knights.

"Follow my orders now, or receive my training?" Stephen said, the 2 knights run out of the room.

"Baby… why don't you sit?" her mother asked him.

"No need mom… I'll leave after Shadow Knight and Casanova Knight come here," he replied.

"Where are you going?"

"Somewhere" he said then took off his pin. A pin that symbolizes his rank in knighthood and him being the prince of the empire. He gets her mother's hand and puts the pin in her hand.

"Stephen! You're not going to leave the empire!" she shouted.

"Whether you like it or not, I'll leave, mom," he said. Her mother's tears flowed down to her cheeks.

"Did the empress order you to do this mission?" his mother asked.

"No… the empress doesn't know about this, only her personal knights and uncle knows about this"

"But son… giving me this pin means that you will go on such a dangerous mission!"

"I know, mom, but I just need you not to worry about me and wait for me for 3 weeks only… if I did not come back for 3 weeks, you can take your actions… they might be locking me up in their cell or… they killed me"

"Stephen, if that mission is too dangerous… listen to your mother and don't leave!" Liam said.

"Sorry uncle, this mission is for the empress and the empire… also, they will not give me the title of Demon Knight if I'm not capable in doing this kind of dangerous mission"

"But son, you never gave me your pin before..."

"That's because I can sense that those missions are not that dangerous unlike the mission that I just took"

"If you won't change your mind, let one of us come with you" Liam suggested.

"Thanks uncle, but no… this mission is dangerous enough that your life might be at risk,"

"Stephen… please..." Lea pleaded. Stephen just looked at his mother worriedly.

Shadow Knight and Casanova Knight just came in the room and went near the royalties. Both of them kneeled on one knee and greeted them.

"It's a pleasure to be your knight today, princess wolf, and welcome to our empire, royalties of Firm Empire, I'm Shadow knight" She said, then rose.

"It's nice to be here, your majesties… I'm Casanova knight" he said, then rose.

"Shadow and Casanova knight, I'll leave my mother to you… make sure that she will not stress herself for 3 weeks… also, you know what to do if I wasn't able to be back in 3 weeks… I'll leave now," Stephen said. The 2 knights nodded. Stephen looked at his mother and hugged her.

"I'll be back as soon as I can, take good care of yourself, mother" he said, then let go.

"Uncles, I'll grant you to enter our empire anytime you want, but they will inform you if you can come since our empress doesn't like a sudden visitor… I'll also leave my mother in your care… I will go now," he said, then started walking.

"We will… take good care of yourself too" Liam said. The little prince nodded and completely left the room.

"I hope he will come back alive," Lea said while clenching her hands that had her son's pin. Liam gets near her sister and hugs her.

"Let's just trust your son, I know that he will come back alive… but I'll do something to make sure that he will come back here safe and sound," Liam reassured his sister and hugged her tight.
