*Current State of the Imperial Palace*

The Imperial Palace now has become peaceful and secure. The offender that lies inside has been removed. The main culprit for the said unfortunate event is no other than the current empress. It's been known that she's part of those secret families taking her own sweet revenge on the palace walls. Her motif is still unknownand she's not even spilling a single idea why she did it. She was detained inside the cold palace under strict observation.

Crown Prince Li Xiaopeng's name has been cleared from the damaging rumors. He still serving as the Crown Prince now.

The emperor hasn't died. It was a clear misunderstanding brought by the culprit.

As so, the smooth sailing governance of the palace has prevail however, the only thing that's giving him disturbance is Bai Shin Lin's disappearance and now it'll gonna mark as her first year. He tried to find her through thick and thin, he ventured other mountains yet no signs of her. Yet still, he didn't give up.

He was in his study reviewing some documents with regard to the palace affairs when Lou Ren knocks. He let him in, bringing some documents for him. ”Milord, the envoy of the Kingdom Gwendell has arrive and seeks to have a chat with you.” Xiao didn't budge and continue flipping documents. ” Let the ministers handle it.”

Upon hearing, Lou Renflips another page of the document he was holding.” The peace treaty between the Kingdom of Xeng is coming to be expired and sent a letter for the venue of negotiating.

”Just the palace will suffice” -Xiao.

” The Duke of Lowell invited you to their party. Would you like to go?” Another trivial matters.

”Denied”

He turn down all matters concerning his presence. For him, it's not something that his presence would even need so he put it aside.

Lou Ren's eyes fixated unto the last report his declaring to Xiao. But before he read it aloud he peek to his face. What kind of expression would his highness make when he hears it? He'd like to know.

” There's been claim that someone caught a glimpse of the person.”

Xiao freeze for a moment then stood up. He shove all his belongings back to it's original place. As expected, with regard to that person his highness shows his different side. It's only that person who can make him like that.

In those year, he was all over the countryfinding her and he was even stricter to his subordinates than ever before. Even Lou Ren sometimesfeel his highness excessive tyranny to his underling especially when they are on the journey finding her.

Out of his overbearing selfless adoration to find her, he made a special unit who's specialization is to find her whereabouts. And it's always this unit thatbears the wrathof demon that resides inside him.

” Where is that palace.?” he said with cold tone and eyes that shots daggers

”In the forest where she vanished”

Xiao headed right straight into that place where he pointed out.

*Inside the Carriage where a certain Princess is sight seeing*

”Is he the Crown Prince???” The newly arrive envoy of kingdom Gwendell 1st princess Mingxi. She's a princess that was born with lavish and spoiled through her life. She lives in a motto, she gets what she wants.

Right now, she caught a glimpse of a Prince in his white horse. It has been her innate fantasy to marry the most handsome man in the country. Surely, he lives with his reputation. He's charismatic aura and excellent status surpasses her own standard in finding a husband.

Mingxi, from then on swear that she will get him no matter what. She's a beauty that no one can par and that's her greatest asset above all. In no time he will eventually fall for her.

Though there are already rumors of him being engage, she can't let that simple matters hinders her entire goal.

”Princess, it seems that the Prince has no intention of meeting us. Instead he sends his ministers to conduct the negotiation.” the servant bow down her head without attempting to make an eye contact with her.

”Well, tell them that this princess won't talk to anyone unless the prince. Who they think they are, notso worthy to even grace with my own presence.”

The servant just nodded and went off.

This beautiful face of hers is not something for a lowly status to freely view. Her beauty is meant to be adored by his prince and not some lowly servants.
