Chapter 464: Truth (2/2)

After a few minutes of uncontrollable rage, he finally calmed down and just hugged his dead wife tighter. The last bit of warmth from his wife was now gone, and that made him realize more that she was good as dead, beyond saving.

”You want to bring my family down? Stop dreaming.” The emperor calmly said. It was then only reason he could think of right now why the enemy was doing this, ”My family isn't easy to be bullied. Once I know who you are, you will suffer a fate worse than death. I'll be sure of it.”

Afterwards, the emperor and the dead empress in his embrace disappeared from that place. Then, the entire place lost its life and became a desolate place. It was the favorite place of the empress, but now that she was dead, the emperor no longer see any worth of letting this damn place live.

In a different kingdom, a certain inn. The princess, Shale Prime, couldn't help but kneel down in horrification. She was trying to chase her breath as she felt being sucked by something unpleasant.

”Now... even Mother was...” She could feel that her mother had died. It was tragic death that she wouldn't dare to imagine.

One family member after another. First were her two brothers, and now even the empress didn't manage to escape death. There were thick clouds looming in their imperial home, and she could feel that it was something that could change the destiny of their family.

She was thinking of who would be daring enough and powerful enough to kill their family members? While they have lots of enemies out there, they couldn't do anything about them unless the current emperor die.

Upon pondering over this, she suddenly struck a realization that made her lost her calm. She remembered a certain man saying something like she should stay away from their home for a while. She also remembered how powerful the man was and how calm and collected he was no matter what the times.

”Don't tell me...” This truth was harder than a large pill to swallow. It made her had a goosebumps all over her body. She didn't know why but she was feeling that what she thought was the truth. But if that was the case, why was he doing this? To overthrow the current empire and build his own? To collect debts that she wasn't aware?

She didn't dare to continue and closed her eyes. She focused on calming herself as deep inside her was trembling in fear.

The princess calmed down after a few minutes and immediately packed up. She was going to go where Jin Rou was and talk to him. This couldn't go on, or else it would be the doom of their family. Fortunately, she left a scent in Jin Rou's robe before she left so that in case she needed him, she could go to him.
