Just as Roy and Yuki were having their sweet romantic time Hina and Eli knocked on the door to invite Roy for breakfast.
" Young master Roy may we enter?" asked Hina
" Yes come in. " as soon as Roy said those words Hina and Eli entered with ten more maids behind them.
Both Hina and Eli had changed a lot because of his gifts. Eli had managed to break through to the nascent soul formation realm by taking the dragon fruit. It also helped to slow down her illness. Hima had the most profound changes as her beauty increased significantly. Now although she wasn't as beautiful as Ria bit she still was heavenly beautiful milf. For some time Roy couldn't take his eyes off them.
" Congratulations you two," Roy said with a faint smile on his face.
Both of them felt a tingling sensation in their hearts as they were happy being praised by Roy. Their faces turned red as blushed heavily from shyness. Even Hina started to act like a maiden who was being praised by her crush.
" It's all thanks to young master's grace." both the mother and daughter said at the same time.
" Even though your strength has risen you guys should stabilize your realm and focus on improving your cultivation more."
" We will follow young master's words diligently." Roy thought that It was really cute how both mother and daughter reacted the same way.
" Young master Roy would you like to take a bath or have breakfast? The emperor is waiting for you in the dining hall," asked Hina. Even though a cultivator could use their qi to clean themselves, many prefer to take a nice bath. the same can be said for food but a cultivator with a low cultivation will still need food to survive.
"I already took a bath so let's go and eat breakfast but I won't be eating breakfast with the emperor today so prepare mine separately, "Roy told Hina with an indifferent tone.
Hina then quickly told the maids to prepare and went with them to make sure everything was perfect. Now Roy was alone in the room with Eli and Yuki. Roy had already told Yuki that he was going to take both Hina and Eli in his harem. At first, she objected a lot but since she knew that Roy wouldn't change his decision once he made up his mind, she gave up. Now the three of them were chatting about their lives, Both Yuki and Eli had many stories that they wanted to share but soon Hina came back and told them that the preparations were done. The four of them went to the dining hall inside Roy's palace.
Roy had to order Hina and Eli to have breakfast with him.
After they finished their breakfast, Roy and the others went back to his room he then told all the maids except the three of them to get out. He then used his divine sense to block off the area.
" Hina, can you tell me what happened to the previous emperor? Why did he go to a secret realm even though he received orders from the upper realm? No matter how important the work is the emperor should not have gone out without orders as that would be seen as disrespecting my family. That alone is enough to punish the whole mortal realm" Roy asked with a serious face.
Both Hina and Eli became stiff with fear but soon Hina regained her composer and started to tell everything from the beginning.
" It all started a few months after the previous emperor received his orders from the upper realm. At first, everything was going smoothly but then Eli's cousin brother who is Emperor Noah's bastard son sent a distress signal. He went to the ancestral secret realm without telling anyone. So when he sent the distress signal the whole palace flipped upside down as it were a restricted area where only the emperor had permission to go inside. To save his life his father begged Arthur. It was very suspicious as before senior brother Noah didn't care about his son." Hina said with regret in her voice.
"Why didn't he care about his son?" asked Yuki with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
" Well, Alex was a crippled cultivator who was stuck in the foundation-building realm for a long time. Nobody in the palace cared about that crippled person except Eli sometimes helping that worthless boy."
"Then how did he manage to enter the secret realm" asked Roy.
" Right about the time when the orders from the young master's family came all of a sudden Brother Alex had gained some opportunities and broke through to the core formation realm and his cultivation started to rise rapidly," said Eli
" Everything started to go wrong from then on. Some corrupt officials started to support him and even senior brother Noah's personality changed. Before he had a great relationship with his brother and loved Eli a lot but after Alex's change his personality started to change as well. After he sent Arthir to the secret realm he started to interfere with ruling and finally declared the emperor's death. According to the imperial rules Eli should have been declared the next emperor but Noah conspired with the ministers and declared himself emperor. He then started to oppress us in every way possible." Hina could not hold back her tears any longer. Seeing her mother cry Eli also broke down in tears
Roy held both of them in his arms and let them cry their hearts out to calm them down. He then kissed Hina without any warning.
