"It seems like she knew that this would happen… no matter how many times you think about it, she's so calm to the point of being fearless of death," I said.
"That might be the reason why the potion for that poison is already at the laboratory… maybe she made it beforehand," brother Louis said.
"You mean she knew that this would happen?" Axel said.
"Sort of, but we can't prove that she already knew about this or not because she's still unconscious," brother Louis replied.
You must be thinking who runs the dark empire, or why do they want to rule the world.
The truth is, he is our uncle's great grandfather. He built his own empire that opposed ours. He seeks revenge because he thinks that my great grandfather took the position that was supposed to be his. But, our great great grandfather knows his plans if he will take over the whole Park family which is also the one who rules all over the world. Their family believes they should be the one who's running the world now, but they're too greedy to be the head of our family. We're always able to hold them back thanks to the help of the other empires, and there's this other empire that wears a full armor that joins us without saying nor giving us a clue on who they are, but it seems like I know who it is now. My uncle's great grandfather poisoned the previous head of our family, luckily, he left a note where he will pass his succession to the crowned prince, which is my grandfather who is still alive, and left us some evidence of who killed him and the traitors that's why we we're able to kicked their family out of our domain.
"Prince Fierce, everyone's already in the main hall," Rui said, who just came back after gathering everyone. Brother Louis nodded.
"Let's go," he said, then we followed him.
We walked and walked until we reached the main hall. Outside the door, there are 2 knights who guard the door. We saw Ayumi standing in front of it also.
"Ayumi, go to the infirmary, make sure that she's stable while we're gone," brother Louis said.
"But…"
"No buts Ayumi, we will be there once we finish this, now go before she wakes up," brother Louis said. But wait, what does he mean by "before she wakes up". Is she going to be awake for a few minutes or hours after taking that poison out of her body?
"Entering, their Majesties from Firm Empire, Frogerous Empire, Lion Empire, Fiery Empire and Deadly Empire, together with the crowned prince of Firm Empire!" One of the knights announced. We entered the hall and saw all of the maids, butlers, knights, and assassins who are gathering inside the main hall.
"Greeting to the royalties, may the gods and goddesses bless you for eternity!" They all greeted in unison. We walked in the middle, brother Louis being in the front. We faced them. We sat on our chairs which were prepared beforehand, I think?
"We gathered you all here today to inform you that we will increase our training for the knights and assassins… the maids and butlers may keep what they're doing, but as I mentioned earlier, the knights and assassins will increase their training," brother Louis said. They all whispered to each other.
After a few seconds of whispering to each other, someone speaked.
"Sorry to ask your majesty, but why do we need to increase our training?" one of the knights asked.
"Because there might be a war after a few months or so," brother Louis said. Everyone whispered again.
"Why should we listen to someone who's not from this shitty empire?" someone asked. We were about to look for the person who said that, but the assassin's leader took care of it already.
"Disrespecting the royalties is another reason for me to kill you right here, right now," he said while having that deadly aura from him.
"Lower your sword, Fire" someone shouted, we looked at the entrance and we saw Ayumi and Yui. Fire lowered his sword and went to her side to aid her from walking.
"Why're you here?!" I shouted.
"Because this is my empire?" she said. That's not what I meant, I know that this is her empire, but doesn't she feel weak from taking that poison?
"You shouldn't recklessly point your sword at those people who don't deserve it," she said.
"Greetings to her highness, the empress, may the gods and goddesses bless you for eternity," they all greeted her in unison again.
"Yui?" Brother Louis and Brother Gian said while emitting a dark aura.
"You can scold me all you want later, but let me finish my business here first, please?" she said. The two just sighed.
"What is your business here, say it now so that you can return to the infirmary to recover," brother Louis said,
"My business here is…'' she said and in a blink of an eye she disappeared in front of us and was now in the side of the assassins and she's pointing a sword in that person's neck. In other words, one wrong move, then you'll die.
"This," she continued.
"Yui! What are you doing?" we all asked her, royalties.
"Why did you break the oath you swear to never break, Julia?" she said. Wait, Julia? I thought she recognized Yui as her queen, but why did she betray her now?
"Y-Your highness...I-I d-din't b-break the o-ath," she said trembling in fear.
"So you're saying that you did not break one of the oaths that the assassins swear with their lives?" Yui said while emitting a dark aura.
"I-I'm so-sorry your h-highness," Isabella said. Yui laughed evilly.
Yui seemed to be someone else now. We don't know how to calm her except for brother Louis, but it seems like brother Louis doesn't want to get involved.
"I'm tired of hearing those words… you're sorry for invading my laboratory for what? For giving the dark empire a chance to strengthen their weapons? For them to defeat this unknown empire which they can't even touch? HAHAHAHAHA you're making me laugh… dark empire doesn't even know where did I get that poison from… they don't know it's origin, so no matter how many times they steal something from us, they will still be at the bottom where they belonged," she said, then smiled evilly. She was about to cut her neck, but brother Louis stopped her.
Wait, when did he get over there?
"Stop, your highness… you're not being yourself again," he said.
"What are you talking about? I'm totally being myself," she replied.
"No you're not… your eyes changed its color again… you're not yourself," he said.
"Fire!" she shouted, then all of a sudden, every assassins is surrounding her, refraining my brother to get near her.
"Yui! I'm begging you to stop this at once! Calm yourself first!" brother Gian said.
"Stop? How should I stop if I know that my knight was kidnapped by that bastard?" she asked.
"Your orders, my liege," Fire said. Wait, he's going to take her command in her current condition?
"Res-" she did not finish her words because she fell down. I ran towards their direction, then went near her to check her condition.
"Don't worry, we just put her to sleep" someone said. We looked at the main hall's door and we saw…
