The next day.
"What did you say?!" the Left Minister shouted at the man inside the communication mirror.
"It's not my decision," said the man impatiently. "The Tower Leader himself passed the order."
"Then what about ?" complained the Left Minister. "I have beco like a rolling stone."
"Try to escape from the capital and co to the Tower. We will provide you protection. That's the best we can offer."
The figure vanished from the mirror.
"Bastard!" cursed the middle-aged man as he gulped down the glass of wine, feeling furious. "I killed him with my own hands. How did he escape? He died in front of my eyes. How did he beco alive?!" He continued to drink while cursing to alleviate his anger and indignation.
"Furthermore," he said, "I have done so much for those bastards. Almost killed the emperor, and this is how they rewarded for my hard work."
"Really sad," a voice said from behind him.
"Isn't that righ—" the Left Minister abruptly stopped as he realized that he was alone in the house. So how could soone speak to him?
"Have I gotten so drunk that I started to hear voices. Anyway, why does the voice sound familiar?"
"Of course, it's familiar," he again heard the sa voice.
Only then the Left Minister beca sowhat sobbered and turned around in shock. "Yo—your Majesty!"
"How's it going?" asked Kallus with a cold smile. Grym, Hayla and Palio were standing behind him, staring at the drunk man with eyes filled with hate, eager to tear the bastard apart.
The Left Minister tumbled back in terror and fell on the table. The wine bottle and glass shattered as they rolled down the floor.
—
"Have you heard, they have detained the Left Minister. Tomorrow will be his execution," whispered one of the custors as he stood in the line.
"Humph," another custor snorted. "That bastard was Bone Spear Tower's spy, and tried to assassinate the emperor. One execution is letting him off easily."
"I heard they would behead him with Segast Woulsto."
They didn't know it was Kadyn who had saved the emperor as Kadyn asked them to not make the news public. He was already in a very good spot right now. He didn't want too much li light. Though ordinary people knew Kadyn also participated in the battle, they didn't know they won the entire battle because of him.
The custors continued to whisper among themselves but the queue never stopped moving forward. "You had asked us to spy on your wife if she was cheating on you, right?" Kadyn asked.
The man nodded nervously. Kadyn eyed the man for a few seconds and sighed as he took out a cara from under the counter. "Take this," he said. "But I would suggest that you watch it alone."
The man's body shook when he heard Kadyn's words. Then he took the cara from Kadyn with his trembling hands. "There are few private rooms available in our restaurant," Kadyn suggested. "You can go there to watch if you want."
Kadyn felt a little strange when he said it. After all, he knew what kind of content was inside the cara. He knew that the man was going to experience another world in just a matter of a few minutes.
The custor paid the money and walked out of the hall, walking towards the restaurant. Kadyn didn't pay any attention to the man and continued to do his work.
"Elentary rank water goggles. They would let you see underwater," said Kadyn. "Two thousand Ces."
Just then a sound of bawling ca from out of the shop. Kadyn collected the money and frowned before standing up. When he looked at the man who had asked them to spy on his wife, Kadyn's expression softened a little. The poor man had just experienced a great shock.
"Hey, get lost from here!" Dion walked towards the man and said. "If you want to cry go sowhere else. Why are you disturbing others?"
"Hey, Dion," Kadyn waved his hand. "Let him cry, poor man had just received a great shock."
"Brother Kadyn, you don't know the full story," Dion said. "I had taken that spying mission so I know. Do you know how many wives this man has?"
"How many?"
"Fifty."
Kadyn almost choked on his saliva. He looked at the bawling man on the ground with a weird expression. Dion continued, "Won also have needs and desires, and man have limitations. He tried to chew more than he could digest. He got what he sow."
"You an to say he couldn't satisfy his woman so soone else got the chance to do it?" Kadyn's expression was strange when he said those words.
"That's exactly what I am saying," Dion said. "Even if he did it with one woman a day, he would need fifty days to reach the last woman. Furthermore, do you think he has the strength to do it every day?"
Kadyn eyed the man who must be nearing his fifty and shook his head. "That woman might be guilty, but this man is more guilty than her. Furthermore, he has forced most of his won to marry him."
"Well," Kadyn scratched his head and said, "throw him out."
Dion did as he was told. The man didn't resist and continued to scream and curse and blabber about the love and promise and many more.
"Fifty wives, and you still expect them to love you?" Kadyn shook his head. "Do you think you are Yun Che? Even Yun Che didn't have that many."
[Author Note: Yun Che is a famous character of a chinese allnovelfull—if you don't know.]
He turned around to go back to the counter when he found a silhouette standing at the gate of the shop. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I have sothing very important to talk about," Hayla smiled at him. After assuming the role of the princess her temperant and style had completely changed. She looked more gentle and graceful, as a princess was supposed to be. "Do you have so free ti?"
"No, I don't."
"..."
Hayla's expression beca strange. Not expecting such a response from him.
"Ah, I an," Kadyn knew he had said sothing inappropriate so he explained. "I need to deal with the remaining custors. Then we can talk. I can't leave them hanging in the middle, can I?"
"Sounds good," Hayla nodded. Her expression easing.
"Dion," Kadyn said. "Take Miss Hayla to the restaurant, I will be there shortly after dealing with the remaining custors."
"Oh, don't worry," Hayla said. "I will wait in the hall."
"Are you sure?"
"Why are you asking sothing like that?" Hayla rolled her eyes. "Have you forgotten I used to work in the Stunning Whirlwind Chamber of Comrce?"
"Co in, then."
The duo entered as the custors pointed at Hayla and whispered among themselves. After all her beauty was as dazzling as Elora. Though they didn't know who she was, as they couldn't tell her identity through Kadyn's conversation with her—they knew she was soone very important.
Hayla sat on the sofa and started to read a book that was lying on the table.
Kadyn again resud his work. It took around 45 minutes before he got free of them. He turned towards Hayla who eyed him with a let's-go-now-or-die look.
"Let's go," Kadyn smiled and gestured towards the lady.
