Monarch of Darkness

"Levi, what is it that you need?", Brianna looked at Levi. Olivia and Sophie also looked at Levi with curiousity in their eyes.

"My queen, please help my friends here. Their family is being chased by some powerful enemies now", Levi kneeled down and spoke. Emilia and Ben also followed after Levi and kneeled down without saying anything.

"Rise", Brianna raised her jade white hand and commanded.

"Are they your friends?", Brianna asked Levi after they stood up. 

"Yes, they are from Bluespear academy", Levi replied. 

"Bluespear academy!", Brianna felt surprised for a moment. Then she looked at Emilia and Ben with interest.

"Introduce yourself", Brianna ordered while looking at Emilia and Ben.

"Greetings, my queen. Please receive the respect of us two Frank family descendants. I am Emilia and he is Ben, my brother", Emilia spoke with a slightly nervous tone. Ben also timidly greeted Brianna.

Brianna asked Emilia about their problem and from her description, everyone became aware about the situation of Bluespear academy and the crisis of Frank family.

"Do you know the strength of those two Nascent soul stage experts?", Brianna asked Emilia.

"I don't know but they are really strong. They managed to wound uncle Jules with a single blow", Emilia replied.

"What is the cultivation of your uncle Jules?", Brianna looked at Emilia.

"First stage Nascent soul realm", Emilia replied.

"Is there any other Nascent soul stage experts with your family now?", Brianna asked with a tranquil expression on her face.

"Yes, my father is at third stage of Nascent soul realm. Except my father and uncle, there is also the first elder, who is at fourth stage of Nascent soul realm", Emilia replied.

"Enemies have sent two Nascent soul stage experts despite knowing that you have three experts of same realm. It means they have confidence in their abilities to take down three of your experts", Brianna spoke as he analyzed the situation of the Frank family.

"Your problem is troublesome to handle. Moreover, there are also outsiders involved. I will speak with grand uncle about your problem", Brianna spoke.

"Return to the guest palace for now. I will take a decision after talking to grand uncle", Brianna replied.

Levi nodded his head and bowed once again before walking out. Emilia and Ben followed after him and walked back to the guest palace.

"Little brat, what is the relationship between Levi and Frank family? I can see that he is very anxious about their well being", Brianna asked Evan after group of Levi, Emilia and Ben disappeared from their sight.

"Levi was saved by a girl from Frank family when he was in a life threatening situation. Since then, their relationship grew and Levi often visited the Frank family when he was in Bluespear academy", Evan explained.

"We will talk with grand uncle about it", Brianna spoke. Evan nodded his head and went back to the moon palace with Olivia, Brianna and Sophie.

The bright sun hid behind the peaks of the distant mountain and darkness descended on Thousand swords kingdom. Brianna, Sophie and Olivia casually chatted with Evan. Time to time their giggling sound could be heard from the outside of Evan's room.

"May I come in my queen?", voice of a maid came from the door. The light conversation stopped after the voice came. 

"Come in", Brianna replied. A maid pushed open the door and bowed towards everyone present.

"My queen, a golden guard is requesting your presence in the throne palace. He is saying that everyone has gathered and they are waiting for your arrival now", the maid said in a clear voice.

"Looks like it is time", Brianna spoke.

"Evan, come with me to the throne palace. Today's meeting is very important for our Thousand swords kingdom", Brianna spoke to Evan.

Evan readily agreed and followed Brianna to the throne palace. A golden armoured guard was waiting for them outside of the moon palace. He bowed quickly after seeing Brianna and Evan. Brianna nodded at the guard and together they proceeded towards the throne palace.

Evan walked amidst the stoic looking golden armoured guards and entered the throne palace with his aunt. The atmosphere in the throne hall was stifling as everyone present was silently sitting inside the throne hall.

Evan felt many powerful auras upon entering the throne hall. There were many familiar faces in the crowd. Everyone stood up and bowed upon noticing Evan and Brianna.

There were two unoccupied seats at the centre of the hall and other people were sitting surrounding the two unoccupied seats. Upon noticing Evan, a golden armoured guard arranged another seat in the middle. Evan followed behind his aunt and sat to the right of his aunt.

"My queen, may I ask when respected royal ancestor will arrive?", a warrior couldn't wait any longer as he asked Brianna. It had been half an hour since Evan and Brianna had come. But there was no trace of Evan's great grand uncle in the throne hall.

"There is no need to ask. I am already here", the voice of great grand uncle of Evan came from outside. A powerful pressure came from the door and before anyone could understand, Ether Jackson was already inside the throne palace.

The looks of everyone became solemn as they bowed respectfully towards the great grand uncle of Evan. Ether Jackson smiled and walked towards Brianna and Evan.

Evan quickly bowed upon noticing his great grand uncle. Brianna also quickly greeted Ether Jackson.

"I assume everyone is here. Let's begin our discussion", Ether Jackson spoke while looking at other warriors.

"Today's meeting has a special purpose. I have requested everyone's presence as I need everyone's cooperation in today's matter", Ether Jackson spoke.

"Sir, you can order us however you like. We will follow your command", a burly looking warrior shouted among crowd. Many followed suit as they showed their support for Evan's great grand uncle.

"As all of you know, the entire northern region is now in chaos. Although my Thousand swords kingdom do not fear any enemy but there are some problems we need to sort out.

Rather than external enemies, the more dangerous one are the traitors. Everyone must have already heard about the incident of Clear wind city. It was impossible without taking the help from the traitors.

"So, I have decided to clear out the weeds from the capital first. We will start after this meeting is over", Ether Jackson declared.
