Chapter 38 - The rise of the evil

King Liam slammed the table. He instructed his team to be ready for a mission tonight. They have to stop these 5 brothels to continue ruining the citizens.

King Liam and Olena cast a spell of drug rehabilitation on Mori. "Mori, touch all the men in the brothel on their shoulder. They will suffer from chokes when they puff the rolled tobacco."

King Liam and Olena cast a spell of family's love on Farah. "Farah, touch all the men in the brothel, your touch will make the man miss their family. They will want to go home when they are in the brothel."

King Liam and Olena cast a spell of an ugly courtesan on Sora. "Sora, touch all the courtesan. Your touch will make the courtesan look like a ghost when they put on their cosmetics."

King Liam and Olena cast a spell of drug addict tracker on Leah. "Leah, you will be able to trace the drug addicts. Let us know if you sense any of the drug addicts."

King Liam and Olena cast a spell on Yoona. "Yoona, you will be able to read someone's mind when you touch them."

When the evening comes, Mori disguised himself as a visitor. He stood nearby the door and pretended to look for something on the ground. He touched every man who was queuing to enter the brothels. When they entered the brothel, they started to cough badly when they took a puff of the rolled tobacco.

Farah, Yoona, Sora, and Leah disguised as courtesans. They went into the brothel together. Farah touched all the male in the brothel. They began to miss their family. One by one leaving the brothel.

Sora touched every courtesan and greeted them. All of the men jumped in fear when they saw the courtesan looking like ghosts. They ran out of the brothel.

They went home to embrace and apologize to their wives. Knelt before their wives and vowed to be a good husband.

Ella couldn't believe that no one was turning up at her brothel that night. She complained to Madam Huang.

King Liam and his team travelled to the other brothels to do the same. Beatrice, Jamie, Donna, and Sarah appeared to complain about the same problem to Madam Huang. Madam Huang felt annoyed because Aliyah is not in the country to help her resolve this issue.

The next day, King Liam requested the magistrate to arrest Madam Huang. Top-order to sentence Madam Huang, Beatrice, Ella, Sarah, Jamie, and Donna for flogging. They forced them to confess their crime.

Madam Huang revealed it was her mentor, Aliyah. She is the main supplier of the tobacco roll. At the moment, she is in Ningbo country. Believing in what she said, they released Madam Huang.

King Liam dispatched a royal edict to the royal family in Ningbo to address the issue. A few days later, King Yafei, the ruler of Ningbo responded. In the royal edict from King Yafei, he confirmed that everything is normal in Ningbo.

King Liam dispatched another royal edict to the king from Ningbo seeking for cooperation to arrest Aliyah and hand her over to them. King Yafei promised King Liam that he will look into this as a matter of urgency.

They have restored the glory of Shilla. The peaceful moment has returned. However, Olena worries because Master Woon and Melvin have highlighted once to her that if Aliyah dies, Princess Giselle will die too. She became worried and concerned.

Madam Huang and her girls have stopped their operation. King Liam has instructed the magistrate to seal all the brothels. They travelled to Ningbo to look for Aliyah. They packed their belongings to travel to Ningbo. Hoping that she will come out with solutions for them.

King Yafei is a womanizer. The attendant of King Yafei informed him the most beautiful woman in Ningbo will be performing in a brothel in Ningbo. He wondered if the lady is really the most beautiful woman in Ningbo. He wanted to see if the rumour was true. When Aliyah appeared to perform on the stage, he instantly fell in love with Aliyah, crazy in love!

Aliyah looked at King Yafei. By looking at the number of bodyguards, his clothing, the food he ordered, she knew he was someone powerful. When she found out that he is the king of Ningbo, she became very interested in him. She walked towards him to serve him drinks and offered him rolled tobacco. He puffed and became addicted. He visited the brothel every day and showered her with a lot of gifts and gold bars.

Aliyah requested from King Yafei several lands. He nodded to agree. He gave Aliyah several lands, and she uses them to plant poppies. She also requested more servants, a mansion, carriage and bodyguards. King Yafei agreed to everything she requested and gave it all to her.

King Yafei asked Aliyah to marry him and become his royal consort but she refused. She wanted to be queen, not a consort. The queen in Ningbo is still alive. King Yafei asked her to abdicate the queen title but the stubborn queen refused to abdicate. He became angry.

Ningbo is a huge country and prosperous. Aliyah is glad to settle down here. Madam Huang and her apprentices hugged Aliyah when they saw her. Aliyah welcomed the girls and promised them she would help them resume their operation in Ningbo. Hearing that, they were content and thrilled.

In Ningbo, Aliyah introduced the girls to the ministers and grand marshall. She convinced the ladies to date the noblemen and try to have a taste of love. They always believed in Aliyah, so they listened to her advice. She told them her ambition is to be the queen of Ningbo. They gasped in shock but they believe she has the capability.

King Yafei dreamt about Aliyah daily. He continued to pester her to marry him. She refused, she told him her condition. Unless he agreed to make her the queen of the country. King Yafei could not wait any longer. He barged into the chamber of the queen. She was excited to see the king but shocked when she saw him holding a broadsword. Before she could say a word, he slit her throat with the sword.

When the queen dies, the citizens of Ningbo are mourning for the queen. King Yafei could not be bothered about the funeral. Instead, he issued a statement that he will marry Aliyah and make her the next queen of Ningbo. It makes everyone in Ningbo angry.

The news about Aliyah getting married to King Yafei has reached the ear of King Liam and Olena. Olena feels upset when she realizes that Aliyah will continue to harm others.

A royal edict from King Yafei informing King Liam that Aliyah is now the queen of Ningbo. He requested King Liam to pardon Aliyah and hoped that both countries will continue to have wonderful friendships with one another.

King Liam threw the royal edict. He burst out in anger when he found out that Aliyah would become queen. However, there's nothing he can do at the moment. He cannot intrude into Ningbo to arrest her.

Queen Ariel noticed King Liam is in a bad mood recently. Olena has been spending more time with him. She wasn't jealous. For the past few weeks, she became exhausted from looking after Prince Lucas. Olena requested help from Queen Ariel to look after Princess Giselle as well. It makes her more exhausted. Princess Giselle has been crying a lot, seeking her mother's attention. She doesn't know if she should let Olena know because she seemed very busy, just like King Liam.

Master Woon knew that Queen Ariel is her niece. The daughter of the underworld lord who is currently executing her trial in the human realm. When she was reborn in the human realm, she had a new identity and her memories were temporarily locked. She could not remember Master Woon. She will return to the hell realms after she dies in the human realm.

Master Woon could see the trouble that Queen Ariel had. He revealed to Olena and King Liam the true identity of Queen Ariel. He continued to persuade them to include Queen Ariel in their meetings. They agreed.

King Liam invited Queen Ariel to the research institute. He introduced her to Sora, Leah, Mori, Yoona, Farah, Master Woon, and Olena. King Liam and Olena give Master Woon a special power to unlock the memory of Ariel in the immortal world.

Master Woon touched Queen Ariel's head. In a minute, her memories are recovered. She realized her real identity now. She seemed to understand why they have been secretive towards her recently. King Liam explained to her that if he tells her the whole thing, she might find it bizarre, that's why he mentions nothing.

She chuckled and agreed. Queen Ariel who has expert knowledge about the human realms and immortality. She offered to help them.
