Chapter 274 Meeting of nobles (1/2)
As there was no one to activate the traps in the hidden passage, Xue Ren and Miya quickly arrived in the Violae Empire's capital... It was currently night and dark violet sky was darker than ever before... However, the lights from various buildings enlightened the whole city giving it its own charm.
And he himself felt like this dark climate was not that bad.
”Show me the way to your emperor.”
””Yes, Lord.””
The guards responded loyally as Xue Ren already had corrupted some of them... He had small group of ten guards ready to die for him... Moving between the castle's corridors, Xue Ren spotted a man who seemed to move in the same direction as him.
”Who are you? Why are you escorting this man?”
It was one of the nobles here. He had his own emblem and his guards around him proudly wore it as they followed their master. All of them were sending strange looks at guards around Xue Ren... They definitely would be scared if they could see the eyes of those guards though.
Good thing that they had helmets!
”And who might you be? You see, I am new here~~”
”Hah? You don't know me, The great noble, Esgne?!”
”Nope.”
Esgne shook his head with disappointment! He began to believe that Xue Ren might be newly promoted noble from the borders of their proud empire! Because of that, he began thinking about the ways to drag him into his circle of nobilities!
”Listen. The capital isn't like your border where you simply have to watch out for humans. Here, you have to watch out for everyone including your friends and loved ones!”
”Thanks for advice.”
”No problem, but I would like to tell you more.”
The noble began speaking how hard it is to rise without any proper support. It took him a while, then he ended with benefits of working together with him. Xue Ren smiled as it was chance to corrupt more nobles in one swift move!
”I will remember your words, Mr. Esgne.”
”That's good. Then, I will excuse myself.”
”Yes, see you.”
This way, Xue Ren got information about meeting of nobles. Esgne planned to bring all his friends to show the power of his circle. Xue Ren was just one of many to show his prestige and high status... Turning around to Miya...
”He didn't know about your identity.”

”I spent most of my time with father alone after all.”
Xue Ren revealed more of his affection after such words, not caring about guards whose minds were already broken. Hugging her for a while, Miya slowly asked to continue going forward... She was indeed eager to meet her father.

During their walk, they had met yet another parties, but Xue Ren already had a way to stop them from bothering him as he told the name of circle he has 'joined'. It wouldn't be good to began fighting here with their purpsose.
