The old prison entrance gate and walls have not been broken yet as the walls outside have not completed, so till all walls are not done completely, the old walls won't be broken.
At the old prison entrance, a monk is standing still and soldiers around him are looking at him carefully and they all are on their guard.
The barren land of Sullegar may have become fertile and it's good for cultivation but still, not the whole work is completed yet, so seeing a monk from the human kingdom came here out of nowhere, raises many doubts.
"The king has come!" A soldier said to all guards and everyone stood in attention position.
The soldiers or civilians in this land may address Chiyou as their king but still, no one really respects him. They just do it because they fear him especially when they all knew that he can control the Giant Demon who is helping in construction and raising security.
Chiyou came to the gate and told soldiers to be relaxed, he looked at the monk who is wearing a red robe and nothing else on his body.
No sleepers or shoes on his legs and anything warm on his body for the coming winter can be seen.
Chiyou knows that people call monks the messenger of gods, they live on donations given to them and except their usual clothes, they don't wear anything no matter what season it is.
Chiyou walked towards the Monk and bowed his head in respect as he cupped his hand to him.
He said "Sir Monk, what is that you want?
My kingdom is still not ready so i may not be able to give you what you ask, but still, i will try to satisfy your request"
At this, soldiers should usually stop their king as it's wrong for a king to bow their head to someone else but the people present here don't really respect him as they all consider him below then themselves, so they don't care who Chiyou bows to.
Rather, they are happy to see him bow
The monk looked at the eyes of these soldiers and other people who have no respect for their king
He then looked back at the king, he said "Please lift your head King of Sullegar, a King should not bow his head to anyone and those who are jealous of you will only feel good after seeing you bow to someone like me"
Chiyou lifted his head with a smile, he said "Let the world be jealous Sir Monk, i am just doing what is right and that's all it matters.
I can't make everyone love me, but I will try to change their views on the world"
His words made many people a little bit shock as it was clear that the monk and Chiyou know who these people they are talking about, who are jealous.
The monk smiles and said "This is the reason why i have come to you King Chiyou, you are the only one who can answer my question that is haunting me for many days"
"Sir Monk, i have never gone to any school in my whole life, everything i have learned is from my mother and father, also from a friend
So i am not sure if i could answer your question" Chiyou said in a sad tone as he is unhappy at the facts that he is not much knowledgeable
"Still, you could give it a try.
I am not forcing you, just answer me if you want to"
"If you insist then i will try, please ask the question"
. . .
Nighttime (same day) in the Xiong Kingdom-
The three princes are sitting inside a gazebo (pavilion) made upon a lake, the whole lake is filled with lotus flowers of different colors.
All three prince are enjoying their time as they all laughed
"I hope that i am not disturbing you all" Spirit King Mo Renhsu said as he enters the merry time of three brothers
"How can you say that Sir Spirit King, to us mortals, your presence is the biggest thing we could ever ask for" The eldest brother, Prince Xiong Delun said with a bow
The other two brothers also nodded and paid their respect
Spirit King smiled
"Sir Spirit King, would you like to join us in our chat?" Prince Xiong Bo asked
"I would love to join you all, but today i have come due to a certain question that is on my mind,
I hope Prince Xiong Delun can help me with this question" Spirit King said as he looked at Prince Xiong Delun
"Off course, My Eldest brother is a smart man.
He has a vast knowledge among all their brothers, please ask him anything
Isn't it true elder brother Bo" Xiong Qiang asked Xiong Bo
"yes, little brother, Elder Brother Delun is really a genius, please ask him anything" Xiong Bo also agreed
But Xiong Delun's expression is saying no, he said "If there is a question that even a god can't answer, then how come to a mortal answer it?"
"hahhaa, don't worry Prince Xiong Delun, it's just a small question that i want to know your views on it.
Don't worry, you are free to also not answer it"
"No, it's okay.
Sir Spirit King has come to me for help, how can I say no. Please ask me any question, i will try my best to answer it"
The Spirit King smiled and then asked "There is a man who burned the house of another person, though no damage was caused, still he did something punishable.
If it were you, what type of punishment do you think is suitable here?"
As compared to what Xiong Delun expected, it was an easy question.
He immediately answered "according to the rules of Xiong Kingdom, this whole scene is an act of assassination, even though there are no casualties, there could be casualties
Thus a life sentence is a must to that man"
Both brothers nodded to their elder brothers answer, but Delun is not done
"I would also ask the criminal the reason he did this, after all, we should know why he did it and if there is any way to prevent it in the future"
"Well said big brother!" Xiong Qiang, the youngest brother said with a smile
"Are you satisfied by my answer, Sir Spirit King?" Delun asked
"I am really happy to hear your answer, but... there is something missing"
"What is it?"
"I asked the same question to the King of Sullegar, King Chiyou, he gave out quite an interesting answer, would you like to hear it?"
