In a room with a huge dining table and a stage for the performers, only a few people could be seen. The room was filled with noise but when the main door opened everyone was tongue-tied. No one dared to breathe out loud.
The three emperors headed straight to the top of the big dining table and sat down.
The one just opposite them was Lisa and Dallas. Others also sat down after the Emperors had settled down. The ones at this party were the Emperors and their accompanies. There were also a few high-ranking nobles of the Rein kingdom.
The dinner started as a group of maids brought the food out and the performers were already singing and dancing. After the dinner ended the high-ranking officials began giving gifts to the Emperor. Soon the turn of the Emperors came.
First the Emperor of the Zhu empire Jonathan Zhu came forward he put his hands in his pocket and took out a necklace. He handed it to Randow and said " This is the pendant made from a feather of a Phoenix, I had recently got it from a group of adventurers and tired it into this pendant. This is a low heaven type artifact that can save the life of its owner once. This is a good artifact for Crown prince Dallas as his path towards the peak is set to be hard due to his potential. I believe he will be under attack soon by the Hell faction as he will be quite a hurdle for them ".
Randow nodded his head with satisfaction and accepted the gift. He also realized that he was still not a good emperor as he forgot that the Hell Faction we're sure to cause some problems. The Hell faction, the group of killing fiends who kill for fun and use them to increase their cultivation level were always at odds with the kingdoms on the northern continent as the kingdoms opposed this way of cultivation.
Hell faction is also the reason why the empires were friendly with one another. Before the rise, of the Hell faction, the empires were often in opposition to one another.
Jonathan looked at Randolf with a smug expression as the gift he gave was hard to top and knowing Randolf's personality he couldn't have bought anything significant with him.
Randolf's expression dropped but he quickly recovered and said," Emperor Randow, I know that you only have one wife as of now. I know that you love her but due to the early death of your father and also only you and your son having the blood of the Rein empire as of now, I think you should start taking in Concubines to continue the Rein empire, I give you my 12th daughter Sofie as your concubine, she is 17 right now and will turn 18 a month from now the perfect age for marriage, what do you say "
Randow was stunned as he slowly turned to look at his wife Lisa. He saw that Lisa was giving him If you accept you are dead glare.
He swallowed his saliva and said sadly while looking at Randolf " I don't think I can accept your offer, Emperor Randolf. If I accept it I won't even know how I died ".
This bought a wave of laughter to the room.
Randolph thought about something and said " Then what about Crown Prince Dallas, He can take her in as his main wife after he comes of age. A few decades are not a concern for us cultivators.
Even without pondering a bit about it, Randow said " Oh! now that can be accepted ".
Everyone in the crowd was baffled as they all knew who Sofie was as she was already famous due to her beauty and her talent. Every prince on the continent was trying to court her but none could due to her personality that was as cold as ice. The youngsters in the room could only shake their heads and wonder how lucky Dallas was to get her as his fiance within a week after his birth.
Dallas in Lisa's arm was wondering what they were talking about as even though he didn't know the language he already knew his name as everyone used to call him Dallas. He even noticed a few youngsters giving him a hateful glare. He just ignored them and went back to sleep cuddling with his mother's hand.
Soon the party ended and all people dispersed, the emperors also departed the next day.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In the Ming Empire,
A lady could be seen inside a room covered with ice. Her face was white and emotionless as the ice. She was often addressed as Fairy due to her beauty. Soon she heard a knock on the door. She quickly got up and opened the door and said " Why are you here, father?"
Randolph said " Come with me I have something to inform you about"
The two went to the garden and there Randolf said everything that occurred in the Rein empire. After he mentioned that her fiance was Dallas he looked at her to know what was her thought on it.
She saw her father's inquiring gaze so she said: " I am neither in favor nor in oppose to your decision, When he comes of age I will personally see him and we will know if he is worthy or not ".
Randolph didn't say a thing as he had offered her without her consent. He just left it as it is and she what will happen in the future.
