25 Yue Wugou (1/2)
This day was one of the gloomiest days of my life. Why? You are asking, well my wife and Arturia needed to return to the Throne of Heroes because thanks to my trap of having more than one capital city, the other kings opposed the idea and make a rukus; Grail put an end to the discussion with that the capital city needs to be only one and that the kings need to center the entire of their power in the city, something that personaly made my life harder. Without the other cities I needed to reach a new plan, first is that our new capital city will be in the center of the kingdom, I already foretold that they will be a time that my cheat was no longer effective so I send a lot of wraiths and phantasmal beasts to start the construction of the new city. The new capital is surrounded by a big lake, the center of the lake contain an island of about 100 Km2, so I fortified the city with three layered walls, the same as the Grand wall back in china (a very marvelous construction) the walls are 100 m. tall and 30 m. in width, they were built with the intention of housing thousands of troops, magic cannons and ballista's with rapid fire; they are all white with dragon flags in each of the most that two hundred towers -a line painted in blue with stars imbibed in them make the feeling of a grand place- there are more than then levels with stairs within the walls. The next was the construction of the barracks, they were a little more difficult but I designed them to house more than ten thousands soldiers in each of them so with that I build sixteen of them divided in the cardinal points of the rose of wind. Between each barrack exist a several houses for the families of the soldiers, there is also two more inner rings that are divided by water canals, so the next part is the market, they exist 4 markets in the capital city, all of them within the walls of the capital they are surrounded by thousands of houses for the population in general, between each of the markets exist 8 plazas that their function is to make the people to spend time, there's also libraries, schools, a mini-forest, etc. in this ring; the inner ring or first ring is the Government, there exist the Royal Palace in the center with four smaller palaces surrounded it they are Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of the people and the Ministry of Economy, each one of the ministry are designed like the Liberty Building in Argentina or in Spanish (Edificio Libertador); the Royal Palace is a combination between the Buckingham Palace and The Versailles Palace. It has one hundred rooms, one royal chamber, one Royal Hall, four smaller halls that are used when you have royal visits or if an ambassador is making a visit, four mega-kitchens, training grounds, ten gardens, two royal gardens, three storage rooms and the Throne Room. All of that is surrounded by a 50 meters tall and 20 meters wide stone wall with another sixteen towers in each cardinal point of the rose of wind. The walls are decorated the same than the exterior walls and the same flags adorned the royal walls for a better name, there exist only one entry guarded by five thousand wraiths in royal armor and four hundred heroes of different classes; all of that is built with magi stone and it has more than three hundred layers of defensive formations that can withstand attacks of the EX Rank while the Qp and Mana Prism's are not depleted. And because it seems I forgot something there is only a bridge of two km long that connects the capital city with the rest of the kingdom.
So as I was saying, Arturia and Mordred needed to return to the Throne of Heroes because only the king can appoint the new capital, Arturia took Mordred because she will confer her a royal Dukedom, and well me, I'm the Prime Minister and an Arch Duke so I don't need more power with the one that I have is enough.
The two departed two days after reaching the Profound Sky Continent and right now I'm alone. Without something to do I de-summoned Charles Patricius and decided to travel with style. A lot of the MC from novels that I read travel in magic chariots, dragons, tigers, phoenixes and more but none of them ride in a dinosaur! How fucking awesome is to ride a Pterosaur my own Pterosaur, I asked that Noble Phantasm from Quetzalcoatl with the idea of riding her mascot. I star to imagine myself riding Quetzalcoatlus in the skies and with each flapping of its wings I summon storms and lightning and laughing at the destruction that I bring to the ones that interfere in my plans. I'm drooling from only imagining that situation but first I need directions and I turn my head to the buffoons that are tied beside me.
”B-b-b-boy you don't know with who you are messing! I'm and elder from Mighty heavenly sword region! I'm the cousin of the patriarch! I-” I cut him from spouting nonsense and his teeth were rolling in the floor from the slap that I gave him. I crouched in front of him and grabbing him from the hair I smashed his head against the soil.
”You only need to answer my questions no more no less. First how far are we from Flouting Cloud City? Second who is your patriarch? Third where is the Heavenly Sword Villa and Fourth who are the other sacred grounds?” After that I smashed again his head he spilled the beans.
”Flouting Cloud City is at the west from here about one thousand Km. cough… My patriarch is named Xuanyuan Wentian… Heavenly sword villa is located near the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range… cough… the other sacred grounds are Absolute Monarch Sancturary, Supreme Ocean Palace and Sun Moon Divine Hall” (Random Elder)
”Very well you will live but first I need to do this.” After finishing everything I chanted the geass pact. The elder became my minion with two more that are his disciples and killed the rest of the buffoons with my sword. I cut an arm from him because I needed proof that he was attacked by a profound beast in the tenth level of tyrant profound realm, that was guarding a very precious herb. I give him the herb and let them free, not before giving him a special devise that can communicate with me no matter the distance.
I didn't take the rings or possessions of the others because I need to make the lie more truthful. I saw them leave and I walked to the east of this place, reaching a prairie I summoned Quet for short and…
”Crap! I forgot that he has the strength of a Divine King Realm!” I de-summoned it and without other option I decided to fly on my own. I couldn't summon in the end a Quet because if he appears here the laws of this world will send him to the God realm and I don't want that. I can stay here because I have the Hade's Cape with me and it can hide me from the laws of this place, I give Huan Caiyi a piece of this cloth to make her stay in this world after all she is the Empress and the Demon Realm isn't save without her, Mordred and Arturia also have the same cape than i.
Traveling for ten days I reached a ”city” I quote the term city because that place is no city at all! Is small very small only a few km long, there are two big manors in this place. I cover entirely with the Hade's Cape and enter the city. Hearing the wispers of the passerby I located the place that I need to reach and the person that is necessary for my plans ”Yue Wugou”
I found the manor of the Xia Clan and passed the guards that are guarding the front gate; advancing a few more steps I reached a bifurcation, hearing to the voices of the maids I found the place that Yue Wugou and his children are. I walked to a beautiful garden in chinese style, in the center of the garden four people are present, a middle aged man, a beautiful woman in his thirties, a little girl of four years and a boy a little younger than her. I approached the place and start to hear their conversation.
”My wife you are still ill and the thing about the engagement isn't settled yet. It was only something that the two of us say and there's nothing definitive” (Xia Hongyi)
”I don't want that my daughter is betrothed to some one that she barely knows I want that she finds her true love” (Yue Wugou)
”I know my dear… I will cancel everything, please don't think any more about this your health is more important” (Xia Hongyi)
Hearing that I was immediately enraged, why is that the fathers betroth their daughters to someone that they never meet?! That's absolutely wrong for god's sake! Women also has the right of choosing her husbands, my daughters in my former life choose their husbands in their own. A lot of people tried to set a marriage between my children and that make me destroy their families without a second doubt!
I decided to advance my plans because of this, so I started to speak
”You don't need to do that!” (Lucius)
Yue Wugou POV
”You don't need to do that!”
We heard a voice so dreadful that make our hairs stand. The children were frightened from the sudden voice that they started to cry, taking my children in my arms I was looking for the person who spoke, my husband was in front of us protecting us. He shouted
”Who goes there? Show yourself!” (Yue Wugou)
From thin air a man was in front of us. He is young like about 17 or 18 years old, has black hair with a few of white, he is tall has blue eyes and is very handsome. But his face right now is of a demon, I didn't know why but when I saw him my instincts were telling me to run!
”RUN!” I shouted and grabed the hands of my children but before I could take a step the man was in front of me, he vanished from his spot and reapered in front of us. Without other option I embrace my children and my husband started to call the guards but the next words of this man make us despair.
”This place is sealed, no matter how much you shout no one will come”
My husband looking at the situation decided to stand before us and with trembling voice he said
”W-w-what do you want? If you have money I can give you I'm owner of a business and had lots of money. I only want that you don't hurt my family!” (Xia Hongyi)
We looked at the man for his answer but he didn't give his answer. He only took a seat and say
”I didn't came to harm you, I only came because I need to help your wife Dongxe and about my outburst that was because i remembered something bad” I was shocked; how is that he knows me, I'm entirely sure that I don't know him, my husband looked at me and I only shake my head in denial, but he continued to speak
”Your wife doesn't know me, but I know her… well is more like I knew someone that was looking for her and I know his true name.” (MP)
[A/N MP is Mysterious Person]
The Two of us were rendered speechless; I know that my husband is always looking for my family because he wants to tell them that I'm fine.
”What?! How is that you know her?!” my husband was shouting and the next words of this man make our blood cold.
”She isn't from here and I know her because she was the fiancée of someone very powerful” (MP)
My mind was in chaos, I have a fiancée and according with his words that person is very powerful! I paled at the consecuences of my act but…
”He is dead” (MP)
