After looking at the child, Lian Feng coldly looked at the house.
These people cannot survive.
They are low enough to touch even a child with their murderous and terrifying minds. Their presence would cause more problems.
Huajin didn't seem to wake up for a while, so Afeng managed to grab everyone in the house by holding on tight. The entire mansion had already been cleared when the slender sword emitted a faint light and flickered.
Not a single person was alive. The number of servants was already small.
As soon as it was all settled, he threw down his bloody gloves and approached the boy. The sword lay in a pool of blood next to the cloth gloves he was cleaning.
Afeng, on the other hand, was clean.
There was not a single drop of blood on it.
She took the child in her arms and left as quickly as she could. He couldn't let him see this scene, it would have been worse for him.
She felt distressed by the rags she was wearing. Ah, the prince of a whole country is like this.
He didn't hesitate.
What to do now? Should he hand it over to the royal family?
He shuddered thinking about the future, no!
He does not accept to leave the child's side even a step!
He decided to leave the mansion.

"you woke up"
Lian Feng was sitting by the burning fireplace in a simple wooden house, staring at the book in his hand.
The boy's movement caught his attention, causing him to lift his head.
"Here, drink." He reached down on the table next to her and offered a cup of tea.
He also sipped his tea.
The boy was silent.
So is Lian Feng.
Afeng in particular was feeling very strange.
There was nothing more awkward than sitting down and drinking tea with a future enemy.
The empire they lived in was Amoli, and the city was the city of "Ceasar". Caesar was a cold place where it was always winter. For this reason, the "Snowflower calendar" was used.
This was not a place where the rays of the sun reached.
Caesar's symbol was winter. It was named after "Ceas", the goddess of eternal winter.
The Amoli empire had 5 cities.
In addition to Caesar, his immediate neighborhood, "Seuju," was a city ruled by the sun. It had a summery and hot climate every day of the year.
Above Ceasar, "Septin", which is the cross of Seuju, was autumn spring, and next to Septin city was "Circassian", the first spring.
The Wildflower calendar was used in Kireli, the Snowflower calendar in Caesar, the Fire calendar in Seuju, and the Rain calendar in Septin.
A tiny-looking developed island in the middle of 4 cities became the capital of this empire.
Capital, Athara.
Athara was the only city where all four seasons lived regularly. It was also the home of the most noble and royal families of the empire.
Amoli could frankly be called a small kingdom. Compared to other countries, infertile and few lands, a backward technology, a high rate of hunger and famine, few mages, few resources, insufficient warriors...
He could barely manage to stay afloat.
The emperor worked hard for this, since he came to power, the situation of the country gradually improved.
Still, the entire kingdom could not change in one go.
Lian Feng knew that even if there was no Black magician in the future, the empire would one day fall.
But this destruction would not bring death to his loved ones. They could survive as in other countries. The presence of the Black Mage changed everything.
Afeng originally worked as a strategist in the army. He worked hard to prevent the destruction, but the lack of resources and the pressure of the situation made him helpless.
Besides being a human now, he knew that as a strategist, it was not right to kill this boy directly. This person was obviously used as a pawn, for Amoli's sake, the snake's head had to be crushed first.
