Yin Zhi left the underground palace while carrying Yin Qiji Kitten form in her arms. As she step into the grand hall from the room behind of it, Yin Zhi gaze fell directly at the man standing straight near the entrance of the room.
Yin Zhi raised an eyebrow as she recognized who the man was. It was Chief Butler Yuen, the current head of Yuen family and at the same time, the first clan under the royal family.
After all, The Yuen Family first ancestor are also the Chief Butler of the Founding Empress and the Yuen clan has always been loyal to the Yin royal family.
"Butler Yuen," - She greeted before asking, "Are you waiting for me?"
Butler Yuen bowed slightly. "Your Highness, The CCTV operators notified me that you left your room hurriedly and entered the room behind the grand hall, so I thought you might went in the underground palace and might need an assistance on something." Butler Yuen said as he glance at the black kitten in Yin Zhi's arms.
Yin Zhi look directly at his face, "I see. But why do you think I need help just because I went to the underground palace?"
Butler Yuen hesitated before responding. "It seems like Your Highness doesn't know what happened."
Yin Zhi's gaze sharpened. "What do you mean?"
"About this Your Highness." - Butler Yuen said as he tapped on the tablet that he carried as he displayed a video before turning it towards her to watch.
Yin Zhi couldn't help but frown as the video showed a massive golden magic circle appeared, illuminating the black sky with golden light. The magic circle lasted for over a minute before dissapearing, leaving a bright full moon and starts in the once moonless and starless sky.
"When did this happened?" - Yin Zhi asked as her heart couldn't help but jump.
"Exactly at 12 O'clock midnight, Your Highness. The Magic circle appeared above the entire imperial region and it was recorded by the people in different locations of imperial region." Butler Yuen replied
"We also check the the satellite records, and it is confirmed that the magic circle covered the entire imperial region, no more, no less."
Hearing this, Yin Zhi couldn't help but worry secretly. "How did you manage the public opionion regarding this incident?"
"His Majesty already issued an official annoucement earlier at 1 O'clock. Informing the public that the royal family are also in the dark regarding the magic circle's origin. And that directed the public to refrain from absorbs speculation about it."
"It's good that father immediately address it. After all, This incident will gather a lot of questions since a lot of people witnessed and recorded it." - Yin Zhi said in relief as she started walking, heading towards the west wing.
Seeing that Butler Yuen followed her, Yin Zhi stop as she glance over her shoulder. "What's more?"
"When we reviewed the Magic circle footage, we noticed that something appaered above the main palace." - Butler Yuen said as he stood half a meter next to her as he tapped his tablet again and played another video.
This time, after the magic circle appeared for ten seconds, a black vortex appeared in the sky above the main palace, swirling for thirty seconds before fading.
"Who saw this footage?" Yin Zhi asked in low voice as her gripped the black kitten a little tight but Yin Qiji never complained since it doesn't hurt. She have a power equivalent to level 7 ability user so Yin Zhi grips don't hurt her all.
"Only myself and His majesty, Your Highness.", Butler Yuen said before continuing, "I know that something unsual happened so I never gave permission to others in accessing the Imperial sattelite and in fear of finding out something, I personally review the records."
"Good." - Yin Zhi nod. "Erase all the records about this clip. I don't want any chance of outsider obtaining it."
"It will be done immeidley, Your Highness."
Yin Zhi hum in satisfaction as she continue her walk while Butler Yuen keep following her as he asked, "Your Highness, It is currently quarter to five. Do you wish to have breakfast in your room or in the dining hall?"
"I'll skip breakfast today. The event starts at Seven right?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Then inform everyone that i don't want to be disturbed today. I am gonna sleep till four in afternoon so have my meal ready by then. The stylists can arrive at five."
"As you wish, Your Highness." Butler Yuen replied
As Yin Zhi neared her room, she paused. "One more thing."
"I want a detailed lists of the imperial assets, their values, and the current money stored in the Imperial bank."
"When would Your Highness needs it?" - Butler Yuen asked
"If possible, I want it by this evening after the event."
"It shall be ready, Your Highness."
Yin Zhi nodded in satisfaction before walking towards her room, and this time, Butler Yuen remained standing at his place while looking at Yin Zhe's back.
As the door closed, Butler Yuen turned around, as he couldn't help but pondered about the black kitten that Her Highness Yin Zhi carrying.
Her Highness entered the underground palace empty handed, yet after staying there for more than two hours, she came back holding a kitten.
He has access to the underground palace, yet he can only enter the Outer hall like the other emperors and past Chief Butlers.
The outer hall is filled with only books and artifacts, so there is no way the kitten came there. So there is only one place that the kitten came from, and it was the inner hall, which is only accessible solely to the female members of the Yin Royal Family.
