Chapter 6 – Missing

Translated by imakeussmile

After the previous experience they became more careful, and thus this time they were just glad that their decision to keep watch on the thirteenth prince seemed to be the right one.

To study on how to become a feudal lord, there was no other choice or option but to learn the laws of the Empire and understand the situation of the Empire. Just after the thirteenth prince finished looking through all the materials, he straightforwardly stated his opinions, which caused the Ye Family’s hearts to become alarmed.

“This kind of law is unfair. Why are the criterion differences between the nobles and the commoners so huge? The law should be equal for everyone. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he must be convicted too and have his head chopped off!”

“This slavery system should be abolished……”

“The nation’s leaders should be chosen by the people……”

……

About the matter pertaining to the thirteenth prince’s occupation-in-name, after countless times of effort and failure, Ye Cheng Tian and his wife were starting to get a headache, and were even at a point that their minds were in a such a confused state, that they actually directly wanted to ask what kind of person the thirteenth prince would want to be in the future and what he would want to do in the future.

The thirteenth prince thought for a while, then smiled saying: “I want to be a prodigal son!”

“……” Ye Cheng Tian and his wife looked at each other and after a good while, then asked: “What? Can you say it again?”

“I want to be a prodigal son.” The thirteenth prince repeated what he said a moment ago and even furthermore added on another sentence –

“A prodigal who has authority, power, money and beautiful woman! Yep, best if there were some lackeys who followed behind me too!!”

“Why do you want to be this?” At that time, Ye Cheng Tian and his wife did not know what they should say and asked a question while looking foolish.

“I want to squander money, I want to be prodigal!!”

“……”

“Ye Lan Yu!!!” Ye Cheng Tian and his wife roared towards a place, or more specifically, roaring towards a certain person, and that person was the thirteenth prince’s bigger sister, Ye Lan Yu.

From what they believed, for the thirteenth prince to have such a strange thought, the only possibility was that it was Little Lan Yu who indoctrinated the thirteenth prince with the idea to be a prodigal son. Thus right now, they were about to properly give a lesson to Little Lan Yu.

Poor Little Lan Yu, to have to once again become the thirteenth prince’s sacrificial lamb for no good reason. Similarly, the thirteenth prince also looked at his own parents while feeling somewhat baffled, as he did not understand what him wanting to be a prodigal son had to do with his own bigger sister.

Also, at this time, the thirteenth prince was merely five years old. To have such huge ambitions at this age, the thirteenth prince was worthy of being called a genius unparalleled under the heaven indeed.

In-between all of these matters, there was also another matter, which was about the thirteenth prince’s name.

Regarding this matter, the people of the Ye Family also felt something strange. Originally, they helped pick a name for the thirteenth prince, which was ‘Ye Tian You’. The idea behind the name, was that they wished that heaven would protect and look after the thirteenth prince. (In the name Ye Tian You, Tian means heaven and You means assist/protect.)

However, a point that was very strange was that after the prince had learned how to read and write, he kept on writing his own name as Ye Lang and when others called him Ye Tian You, he would not respond and only when they called him Ye Lang, would he have some sort of reaction.
