It was a evidence against William and there was also documents about ancient ritual . It mention the previous duke summon a demon and for that he sacrifice his own son .

Levi couldn't recover from this, when Alex scoff and said " you didn't believe , when Rose wanted to tell you, you didn't listen to her and threat her . She didn't leave her room a week , when she got back from here . We didn't see her this much hurt before "
Levi face harden, he knew that he made a big mistake . He was worried about her .
" How is she . When is she coming back "
" After what you did to her, you don't have the right to ask about her " Alex remind him " The ring she give you , you throw away right . Did you know that was the last thing her mother give her .She cherish it so much , she didn't let it touch anyone, we asked her and she tell us the story behind that jade rings .she said , she will give to her future partner . We were all shock when we see she was wearing jade ring and you didn't wear it , just put it in drawer and later throw away " he walk to Levi whose has become pale , Anger was showing on his face " Did you think she wouldn't notice that, you were just using her . She knew but she remain by your side and protect you, even when you reject her and push her away. Hurt and break her heart "
Alex said before leaving " I'm giving you a last warning . Don't think about approaching her and try to contact her . Otherwise you can't think about what we are capable of "
Levi was petrified, he had not come out of shock , His mind was buzzing and heart was uncomfortable. He was feeling unknown fear he go to back garden and search for ring all night but he couldn't find it.
Xiao Qing was setting on the branch of tree , she was relaxing and was looking at video in front of her , she poke little white nose and said " show me state window "

In the imperial palace nobles comes from all over the country , Levi uncle also come, the one who was banished to the north . Ball start and at last xioa Qing enter , everyone gasp in surprise after seeing her . Their eyes never leave her, they admire her beauty , xioa Qing was wearing red gown that was decorated with jewels , it was sleeveless and her beautiful shoulders and back were showing.
Her thin neck was holding a ruby necklace , her long hair was decorated with roses . She look like a goddess that come from other realm , she smile and it pierced their hearts , They all fall in love in this unknown beauty . Before they gather around her and chat , Levi enter in the ballroom . They all step aside and bow , xioa Qing see he didn't enter alone , he did bring a partner and it was none other than Liliy duke William sister .
Xiao Qing eyes trun cold and clenched her fists , she took a deep breath and calm down, she can't afford to distracted today .
She smile again , Levi first give a brief speech and dance with with Liliy .
At the end he said " enjoy the ball " set on the Thorne . Levi was feeling a familiar burning gaze , he scan the ball room and his eyes land on familiar figure, their eyes met Levi forget to breathe, Xiao Qing was looking very beautiful tonight , she is beauty but he never see her in woman dress . His heart beat fast and he feel hot , They look at each other in silence , xioa Qing slightly bow and trun around . Levi was about to go after her when his Secretary right whispered something in his ear . He unwilling go after him to take care of the matter , he finally see her after so many days and wanted to apologize to her .
Xioa Qing was surrounded by nobles both men and women. She introduced herself as countess Etuwart , she happily chat with them , Little White was monitoring the situation, if he see something suspicious , he will alert her .
Xioa Qing was chatting with countess dawn, she complained to her that she didn't come.
She apologize " sorry, I was busy my lady "
She wink at her " will you be kind and forgive me "
Countess dawn blush " okay "
She comes close and whispered " please go to his Majesty side "
She knew about treason, she worriedly look at her " will you be okay "
Xiao Qing smile and reassure her, after she left , Xiao Qing excuse herself and scan the ballroom. She picked up a grape juice glass and slowly drank it , some people asked her for a dance but she politely refused. Duke William spot her and walk towards her , he was memorized , Xiao Qing put down the glass and slowly lick her lips . William feel his throat dry , he intensely stare her . Xiao Qing couldn't ignore his burning gaze, it was like he wanted to eat her .
William broke the slince " I didn't thought, I will see you like this "
( He knew Xiao Qing will come as guard Levi but he was surprised again )
( She look so cute, beautiful and Precious )
( I want to lock her in a room, so no one can see her but me )
William reached out his hand towards her .
" will you give me the honour of having of dance with you "
Before She refuse, she feels her body move her own. He takes her hand and takes her to dancing floor.
( This sly fox , using his power again )
Xioa Qing said while smiling " I'm not good dancer , your Excellency"
William tighten his hold on her " It's okay , just follow my lead "
Others nobles were envious of duke William. They wish , they were the ones who were in his place and were holding her .
William lead her but xioa Qing step on his feets number of times. She was wearing high heels shoes , Everytime she step on his feets, she put force in them .
She said " sorry , is your foot okay . I told you , I'm not good dancer "
She didn't look sorry at all , is she doing this on purpose But even so William doesn't care , He was enjoying his time with her and taking in her every expression .
She frown , she was doing this because she wanted him to let her go but instead of losing his hold , he tightly hold her and close their distance . Their bodies were touching and breathe was mangled together , Xiao Qing was not comfortable with this close to him . William look at her and then gaze to her cherry lips that she was bitting . He wanted to kiss her but it's was not the time , He smile " you will hurt yourself "
Song end and they separate , everyone applaud for them . She feels a burning gaze , when she look at that direction , Levi was looking at her with jealousy .
She doesn't know how to react .
Levi has come when they start dancing , he see the whole process , He was burning with jealousy. That was his spot , he should be the one who hold her , treasure her and love her . What love , am I in love with her ? I don't know it's love or obsession . I just know she belongs to me and only me .
Xiao Qing realized that William was doing it on purpose to aroused Levi anger and jealousy . Then she heard system notification .
( Ding love meter increase to 100% and Hate remain 0% )
( Little white : Host rebellion army has reached imperial palace )
Xiao Qing come out of her thoughts and then she hear swords clashing and screams .
She smile evily " shall we warm up " and she vanished in crowd .
Some rebellion forces broke in , start to attack Levi but shadow guards has kill them. Before they reached him , before disappearing , she single them . Then a magic array activate and a barrier surrounded Levi , He got trapped in with William .
Before assassins reached to Levi to take him out of magic array, barrier close . No one can see what was going inside ? They were worried , what if something happened to Emperor , Their guild leader will kill them .
But not long before their attention were pulled to other side. More rebellion forces were coming , they focused on clearing them . Emperor was swordmaster and aura user , so they were not that worried when they remember this .
Nobles that were on Levi side were protect by royal knights and the nobles were with William were sporting rebellion army . Levi and William was fighting each other , the two of them were injured but they didn't stop attacking each other , they wanted to kill each other , Levi was on disadvantage because he was facing 8th circle mage . William keep his distance while attacking , so his situation was better than Levi . Levi was about to go berserker .
Xioa Qing was standing on the bodies of dead mages . She was clearing high mages whose was placing arries around the imperial palace . She had changed her dress , now she was wearing assassins clothes with her signature mask . She let out sigh when system alert ring .
