Fei Xu just arrived at the capital, it was already late afternoon after they travelled for 40 hours and it was faster than he thought
"Feng, go and report to the palace that I'm back, don't tell them when is the time I arrived just tell them I'm tired and need rest!!!" Says the prince and entered his mansion, Liang was standing firmly waiting for his majesty with a smirk in her face
"your back little one, come I prepared you dinner!" she said and walked inside, Liang is a little old now and as strong as she was when she was 35, but her hair is now turning grey
Liang is the puppeteer of the prince and his maid when he was young, Liang still specialize things with thread and use dead corpse to make a spy and see through inside the castle
"Miss Liang, how is things going on since I left?" asked Xu, he sat down on a chair gave a heavy tired sigh and looked at Miss Liang
"it was good, but things inside the castle is not!" she smiled
"the emperor has found out you brought your son with you, he was furious and wants you at the castle, I even sacrifice one of my corpse puppet!" she said, Fei Xu frowned
"I guess tomorrow I'll be summoned by the emperor!"
"surely Diánxià, rest assured I had one of my corpse puppet spy on the assassins who came back to kidnap the princess, my corpse spy on the crown prince mansion said the prince was angry and upset about the Ju princess marrying our little prince!!" Liang smirked, Fei Xu smirked on what he heard too and turned serious on his smile
"after a few months my son will return back to the capital, and we will now start all our plans, rest assured because half of the soldiers of this state belongs to me all I need to do now is to get the trust of the people-" he said and tapped his fingernails in the wooden table, Liang in the other hand smiled and exitement consumed her face
"maybe this time we will succeed, As soon as possible we have to find out what the emperor is hiding under his wicked wings, those two devil with him is not someone easy to deal with, even Shao Qi said its no ordinary demons" Fei Xu said, he ate his dinner and went to bed early at 7 to rest his head and rest his energy which is nearly drained
"what a beautiful moon-" he said the moon shined trough his circle window and the wind rushed in to kiss him goodnight, he layed down and closed his eyes
42 years ago
It was late midnight in the seasons of blooming cherry, it was a good night from the generation era of Zhu where Emperor Tianning ruled the Empire State, he was still half wicked and soft at the same time
"Diánxià, the empress is in labor, we came late to tell you this but-"
"Shènme!! how could you!" Emperor Tianning is as exited as the moon who shined down to light the world, the little old eunuch was terrified but the emperor smiled
"what are you terrified about old eunuch, just bring me to my wife!!!" Tianning ran to the peaceful palace where the empress stay
Nara is finally gonna give birth to a child after years of marriage, she is 30 and is finally blessed, she cried for how much struggle she gets from delivering a crown prince
"just one more Empress Nara!" says the nurse
Nara looked at the sky and saw a beautiful gold glowing full moon
"the-the moon- it-it's gold how beautiful she said in between her pain, and in her last breath the prince came out, the cry was loud and beautiful, Nara cried and asked for the baby but the nurse screamed away
"Maid Gao what's wrong!" this time the empress's maid walked towards the nurse and saw the baby, Maid Gao is speechless
"the-the e-eyes my lady?" cried the nurse, the maid glared at her and picked up the baby
Nurse Gao walked a little odd and cried
"Diánxià!"
"what's wrong give me my child?" she said, Maid Gao gave her the baby and she witness the eyes which is glowing gold like the moon, but the eyes of the baby was more of a treasure than any other jewels
"it's a Catastrophe-" Maid Gao kneeled
there was a loud bang at the door, the emperor smiled and ran to his wife, but Nara held him tight in his arms
"let me see our child!" Tianning said, he gave his hand but Nara was terrified
"we can't kill him?" she said
"what are you talking about its our child the crown prince!" Nara showed the baby, when he land his eyes on his son, the air was eerie and full of confusion inside out the thoughts of the emperor
"close the doors, don't let any consorts come inside!!" Tianning roared
"Tianning what should we do?" she cried
Tianning gave a closer look on the baby, it was not asleep but looked at the moon so bright in the season of blooming, his eyes are gold and held Tianning's Finger, the child from his most loved empress is a Catastrophe
"Tianning, we cannot kill him, we cannot please!!!" Tianning was speechless clouded between his people and son
"Nara, if we declare to the public our son, they will surely asked for assassination-"
"you can't he's your child" Nara held him tighter shouting at his face
"that child is the father of Catastrophe who will bear the child who brings wrath to this world-" Tianning cried and pulled a dagger
"you can't, if you kill him you better kill me first!!!" Nara was angry and got up on her tired knees
"if they find out we keep it alive they will stone me and you!!" he cried and walked towards his lover
"you can't!!!" the empress was protective and did not give the child, she pushed him and fight for his son's life, and in an accident Tianning stabbed her in the back chest in an accident
"N-Nara!!!" he roared, the maids outside the room knocked but there was no respond
"N-Nara-" Tianning held his love, the baby is wrapped beside her crying in vain from the loud noises they made
"You can't kill him- My Fei Xu!!!" she cried her last breath, Tianning cried and cried til the dawn leaving the baby crying with him to mourn the death of his mother
The emperor picked up the child and bravely went out and told his men to take care of the empress's body
"Your majesty, people from outside the palace found out and is asking you to kill the Catastrophe prince-"
"already!!! who is this fucking big mouth shit who spread it-" he said, his eyes are red and was flowing with anger
"there must be a spy my lord-" The Emperor's eunuch said
"Tss, this world is really rotten!! no matter what you do there is a snake lurking around to take you down- find out who spread the news, cut off his tounge and chop him alive!!" he said and went out towards the gate of the palace
The gate of the palace is crowded and they were all terrified when they saw the king holding the baby
"Diánxià, throw the baby to us and we will stomp it to death-"
"that child deserves to die!!!"
"it's a monster!!!"
hearing the people was like them who killed the queen and now as he look at them and his baby he was even more guilty
"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!!!!" he roared, everyone shut up and made a face
"this child is my child!!" the people's face fell
"what do you mean-"
"you should be killed too-"
"how could you let a child of wrath rule the kingdom!!!" they said
"shut up!!! this child is not the catastrophe but the one who will deliver, I'm not killing this child, and whoever oppose will die with their family!!!" The emperor's eyes were powerful, he walked away opposing everyone
as the time goes after the empress was buried other people inside the palace wanted to kill the prince but the emperor was the one taking care of Fei Xu, assassins was everywhere he goes just to kill them both but it's like the heavens is protecting them, the assassins never once succeeded
finally the people and officials gave up and made a deal with the emperor
"we will let Emperor keep the child but he is not allowed to take the throne even if he is a crown prince, pass it to your first child from Consort Shun!!!" says his Prime Minister, Tianning was thinking while on the throne holding Fei Xu
"Fine, but we have a deal, my child will never be touched or killed or assassinated, if ever he is hurt you will all die!!!" he said with a fierce look, everyone was terrified but Consort Shun was happy
Lin will be the crown prince and the real one will never be allowed to take over the throne, Fei Xu will be locked up, surround by his own guard, have his own mansion not far from the palace, and he is also not allowed to meet any woman, therefore Fei Xu was sent to the borders and train there
Master Long and Liang was his first masters, they thought him martial arts and tactics, thought him how to read and write, Master long also found a mage to see through the prince who explained his powers
he even explain that the energy inside Fei Xu can bring down a thousand soldiers with his strength and power, but as long as he is the Catastrophe Prince and never bear the real one
as time goes, Fei Xu finally earned an energy that he can use to control his power, during the envade of rebels, Fei Xu was not a child but a soldier thought to fight, he was only 6 at that time when he first saw bodies being slaughtered, his anger burst when his favorite soldier died, and because of that he awakened a power they never expected, Fei Xu commanded a dead body to kill the rebels, not one but many, turning dead rebels to his side of death control, his eyes was red as blood and black blood formed through his veins creating a terrifying Fei Xu
after that, every soldiers was eighter happy or terrified knowing the child is a controller of the dead, but he can only control them once and twice but there is no trice, Liang also examined his power and he can sense movement and is sensitive in sounds
A spy reported this to the palace and emperor Tianning was as terrified or blank like his soldiers, by this time the heaven can no longer grip his soft heart and turn it back to stone like it use to be, Tianning is never soft hearted but selfish man who only look at power
Tianning was like his feirce son Ling and he wants to expand his large empire and top the four other kingdom
the heaven succeeded in helping Fei Xu stay alive but Tianning had another idea, when Fei Xu gained control of his power he can now change his eyes to a normal one, when he returned back to the palace everyone was speechless and still calls him monster, but they never knew how he can wash them all out in just one blow, but Fei Xu had a softer heart and love towards his people he helped at war when he was only 10 and gained victory when he was 13 by using his power to command the dead to fight his side
Master long was proud but the mage said his power is limited since the heaven is yearning to bring the real one into the world, Tianning in the other hand was sitting on his throne proud of himself for having the catastrophe as his weapon, his soft heart is slowly envaded with rock and his pride was higher than the heaven
by that time Tianning also found out about Fei Xu's power and the real Catastrophe of the earth, he jailed Fei Xu inside the castle and never informed him to anyone ever again
The heaven is fighting for the freedom of Fei Xu and used nature to call the prince in his destiny, Fei Xu sneaked out of the castle and wanted to free himself to wander around the city, he found out everything about what he never experienced inside the palace, he was too happy sneaking out and never went back for days which enraged the emperor
however that was not the only cause, the other children of the king and consorts was dead jelous because he never paid attention to the crown prince, and the officials was just as snake as everyone else
