417 Infernal Kings Mandate (1/2)

Infernal domain, Infernal King's bedroom

The Infernal Queen said with a chuckle, ”Just the opposite. Darling asked the right person. I am probably the only person who can answer this question.”

Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised before his eyes lit up. The answer to the question could be related to how he could complete the first Absolute Choice. He actually did not have his hopes up when it came to the Infernal Queen, so he was rather surprised that the Infernal Queen really knew the answer.

Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask, ”What is the Infernal King's Mandate?”

The Infernal Queen glanced at Shi Xiaobai and said with a covered smile, ”It looks like Darling is eager to know the answer, then I won't be keeping you in suspense. The Infernal King's Mandate...”

As she spoke, the Infernal Queen walked towards the desk and pulled out an old book from the pile of books and handed it to Shi Xiaobai. ”Darling, see for yourself.”

Shi Xiaobai could not help but rolled his eyes. So the answer to his question could really be found on the desk!

Shi Xiaobai gave the Infernal Queen an odd look. Since the answer was on the Infernal King's desk, why did the Infernal Queen say that she was the only person who could answer. Could it be...

Shi Xiaobai suppressed the guess in his heart as he took the old book over. Although he could have found the book by searching the desk, it would take him a certain amount of time since the book was at the bottom.

Shi Xiaobai looked down at the old book in his hand. It was such an old book that it was nearly rotting. It was as though it had lived through thousands of years.

Shi Xiaobai flipped through the book as the text that was nearly melting into the blackish-yellow paper reflected in his eyes. Blots of mottled rust covered a portion of the text and there were marks of worms having chewed on it.

The text was blurry, but it could barely be understood. There were missing words, but the general idea could still be inferred. Shi Xiaobai struggled as he read the old book.

The book was very thin, with slightly fewer than twenty pages. The words were also rather large, and each page had less than a hundred words. Shi Xiaobai read it seriously, and when he nearly flipped to the end, his mood turned heavy.

The book described a first-person narrative.

The protagonist of the story was D'yaba, who was a prince of the D'ya clan. From a young age, he was favored and led a blissful childhood.

The protagonist had an elder brother named D'yaji. Similarly, he was a prince of the D'ya clan and was the idol of the protagonist and his closest playmate.

D'yaba's happy life came to an end in the year he turned sixteen. That year, an unknown plague broke out in the D'ya clan. The clansmen that were inflicted with the plague turned extremely ugly and they would increasingly become irrational to the point of going mad and engage in wanton murder.

For the D'ya clan's survival, the D'ya clan began implementing a quarantine by exile. By sending the clansmen into an isolated zone, they were left to fend for themselves.

And when the exile was proceeding in full swing, the protagonist, D'yaba was also infected!

In theory, it was impossible for D'yaba to be infected because he lived in the palace all the time. When the plague broke out, he had never stepped out of the palace, so there was no reason for him to be infected!

But nothing could change the harsh reality. Although D'yaba was a prince, with half of the D'ya clan infected and exiled, even a prince was not spared.

D'yaba was banished to a zone that was like an isolated prison.

The story was a first-person narrative. At that point, the author's choice of words when describing the land of despair they were exiled to was ”I've been banished to hell.”

And the book ended abruptly. The simple story sounded somewhat boring and there were too many questions left hanging. However, the final sentence left by the author made Shi Xiaobai's mood turn heavy.
