"Don't worry, we just put her to sleep" someone said. We looked at the main hall's door and we saw our parents. All the maids, knights, and butlers bowed down and greeted them, except for the assassins, which we don't know why.
"Her assassins must be the most loyal subordinates that she has," Aunt Yasmine said.
"We're sorry, but hurting our empress leads to a war with assassins," Fire said.
"Fire, they are our parents, don't hurt them… also, they're our allies," brother Louis said.
"Assassins, take this traitor to the dungeon," Fire ordered them. Two of the assassins take Julia out of the main hall.
"Maids, escort the crowned prince toward the empress's room," brother Louis ordered.
"I'm sorry, your highness, but one of the assassins will escort them," Fire said. I sighed. I get up while holding Yui.
"Let him, brother… you know this empire more than we do, so let him," I said.
"Then Air and Water will escort him," he said.
"Air, Water, escort his highness," Fire said.
"Copy, lead," they said, then we walked out of the main hall, but before we could get out, my parents talked to me.
"After taking her to her room, come back here immediately," father said. I nodded, then we continued walking.
"We're sorry for our leader's manners, awhile ago… he's just super overprotective towards our empress and too loyal to her that he will sacrifice his life for her, also my codename is Air," the girl on my right side said.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Yui's back to normal, I don't care what happens a few minutes ago," I said.
"We're also sorry for not stopping her majesty awhile ago… no one can stop her once she becomes like that, also once she becomes like that, you only have 2 choices… either you will stay quiet and do what she says or stop her, then die in the end, and my codename is Water" the girl in front of us said.
"But she managed to stop herself from killing my brother when he interrupted her," I said.
"That's because she knows his aura already… prince Louis fought with her many times already just to control her whenever she's in that situation," Air said. It's weird to call them by their code names because their code names are the 4 elements which are Fire, Water, Earth and Wind.
"I'd like to ask the reasons why no one can handle her, if she's training the assassins by herself?" I ask.
"Because once she gets out of control, there's no way we can defeat her nor calm her… also, our presence is weak to the others, but to her, our aura is always so dark that is like of the Dark empire's, that's why we can't stop her and she will only kill us if we were to stop her highness," Water said.
"We're here, we will now leave her highness with you, we know that you will not hurt her, that's why we will leave now," Air said. I nodded. I put Yui on her bed, then left her there since my parents told me to go back to the main hall after taking her here.
LOUIS's POV
My name is Louis Park, the eldest among the 4 childrens that the heads of the Park family have. You're wondering why I'm not the crowned prince even though I'm the eldest, right? Well, that's only because of the fact that I don't want to run the world nor my family. But unfortunately, after encountering the empress of this empire, I got involved in this mess that I don't want to get involved into.
"Mom, Dad… I thought you're visiting this empire next week?" I said.
"We can't wait another day after the report that we just got from Rui," mother said.
"Father, Mother… Do you mind informing us about our lost sister?" Yuuto said.
Looks like they will discover who's their lost sister sooner than I thought.
"Why? Do you know where she is?" aunt Yasmine asked him.
"We don't know who she is, mother… but I think I saw a similar necklace that she has to the person that we're close to," Yuuma said.
"Don't worry about her… I know that she's safe," uncle Zane said. Looks like uncle Zane knows already who her lost daughter is.
"Why're you so calm when we don't even know if she's still alive," aunt Yasmine said.
"Because I know that she's safe," he said casually.
"How? Don't tell me that you already knew where she is, but you don't have the guts to tell us," she replied.
"You're right… but I still need to ask her whether she wanted to meet us sooner rather than later," uncle Zane said.
"What brings you here, father, mother? And what's up with your noisy mouth mom? You almost reveal something that only I should reveal to her," Liam said who just came back.
I smirked.
"Why son? Am I not supposed to say that to my future daughter-in-law?" mom said. I want to laugh, but I refrain myself from doing that.
"Absolutely, yes!" Liam said.
"Haha… stop now, there's something more important that we should be talking about right now,"
"What do you mean? Are you saying that is just a small matter?" uncle Zane reacted.
"No, my friend… I know why you're acting like that, but don't you think that this empire's empress' safety should be our top priority?" father said.
"Ma, Pa… you know about this?" Gian said to aunt Amanda and uncle William.
"Yes, son… but we kept it as a secret and we're secretly following her," uncle William said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"Because the previous empress of this empire begged us not to inform anyone, even you and the Park Family about this," aunt Amanda said.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because this is where she truly belongs… we know who her real parents are because of the previous empress of this empire, but she told us not to reveal that to her because that might distract her from taking her responsibilities as the empress of this empire and as someone who she think is the one who will be able to save not only her, but the whole world from them with the help of you and the other royalties from the 5 most powerful in the world," uncle William said.
Save her? But she died a long time ago from that building wherein the dark empire set into fire.
"What do you mean by 'save her'? She died a long time ago from the building wherein the dark empire set into fire," I said.
"We also don't know, but that is what she told us," aunt Amanda said. I sighed, then I should ask Stephen after this since he went to the dark empire once.
"Knights, Maids, Butlers, you may do your work… so do the assassins," I said. They all bowed down, then went out of the main hall.
"Fire, search for the whereabouts of Hailey, Thomas, and Brandon… they should be here at least 2 days starting tomorrow, or else, I don't know how to calm your empress," I said. He nodded.
"Wait!" father shouted. Fire stopped walking then kneeled in front of father.
"Is there something you'd like to add, your majesty?" he said.
"No, but the 3 knights that you were about to look for are inside the infirmary of this empire just a few seconds ago," father said.
"Thank you, your majesty," he said. Then he flew away from here.
"How?" Liam asked.
"That is our university, so we will know whether someone was kidnapped inside our school or not," father answered him.
"By the way, how's your sister Lea?" mother asked.
"She's resting… we did not inform her about this incident because she will labour a few days from now," I said.
"Your highness… sorry for the interruption, but the food is already served in the dining hall," the head butler said. I nodded.
"Let's go and eat, mom, dad, uncles and aunties," I said, then I escorted them towards the dining hall.
