Monarch of Darkness

Evan inquired about the motive of Golden orb kingdom and a frown appeared on his face as he listened more from the golden armoured warrior. It was no surprise to him that the Golden orb sect was the puppetior behind the Golden orb kingdom but what he really wanted to know was the the reason behind the attacks of Golden orb kingdom.

According to his knowledge, Thousand swords kingdom was only a middle sized kingdom of the vast Northpeak empire. There were also other kingdoms who bordered the Golden orb kingdom. So, why only the Thousand swords kingdom was being targeted? Although there were skirmishes going on between the other kingdoms and Golden orb kingdom but anyone with discerning eyes could tell that who was the main target. Evan didn't get any specific answer about the motive of Golden orb kingdom and he felt disappointed. He instructed the Golden armoured warrior to continue act like a commander and sent him back.

There were many questions in the brain of Evan now. Now he was in no hurry to return back now. He was already satisfied with today's battle. He pondered over some questions in his brain. "Why Northpeak empire is not sending army to supply the Thousand swords kingdom? What is the motive of Golden orb sect in this war? Even with their superior strength, why the Golden orb sect is not dispatching their fighters to overwhelm the forces of Thousand swords kingdom?"

Even after thinking hard, Evan couldn't find any answer. The long night was approaching its end. Evan decided to return back toward the fighting area.

The purple striped thunder tiger approached the fighting area without making any noise. The thick trees were the best cover for hiding its presence and Evan scanned the fighting area without getting down from its back. The surrounding area where the two armies clashed had already turned into a bloody mess. There were dead bodies littered across the vast ground and there were no sign of Golden orb kingdom army in the vicinity.

Evan knew the war was already over. He recalled the Shadow rats and from them he knew the situation instantly.

The army of Golden orb kingdom retreated after fighting for one and half hour only. Both side had loses but this time the army of Golden orb kingdom had more loses from their side. The Golden orb kingdom had more Profound transformation realm experts but the reinforcement from the Sylvia clan managed to deter their onslaught.

This time the Sylvia clan warriors fought bravely and managed to kill some of the Profound transformation realm experts. Uncle Lucas was prepared this time. He managed to stall both wizard Elina and her Blood wyvern. Previously, this Blood wyvern caused many loses to the side of Thousand swords kingdom but this time it didn't managed to do much.

Evan analyzed the situation for a moment and then ordered the Purple striped thunder tiger to head towards White orchid valley.

The morning sun announced its arrival with the flickering golden rays. Evan woke up from his sleep after hearing the knocking sound coming from his door. He got up from his bed and opened the door. It was Olivia who was knocking on his door. "Good morning mother", Evan greeted while yawning. Olivia giggled after seeing Evan's sleepy looking face. "Evan, did you sleep properly yesterday?", she asked with concern. I couldn't sleep properly in last night", Evan replied.

He was telling the truth. Yesterday night was too eventful. He made a new slave yesterday using his soul power. Moreover he fought with many opponents. So, he was feeling tired.

Olivia entered Evan's room. Then she instructed him to lie down. After Evan lied down comfortably on his bed, she brought Evan's head to her lap and started to stroke Evan's hair. 

Evan felt a a soothing calmness coming from his soul. His body relaxed completely and he entered into deep sleep. Olivia watched the sleeping Evan with a worried look. She left after watching Evan for a long time.

When Evan woke up, it was already evening. He got up from his bed and discovered his mother looking at him. Evan didn't know what to say after seeing the worried look in his mother's face. "Child, are you alright?", Olivia asked with concern. Seeing Evan sleeping for such a long period, she felt worried. Evan smiled and said, "Don't you worry mother. I am feeling very good after taking a proper rest. Let's go outside."

Olivia and Evan walked out of his room and headed outside. The atmosphere in the Olivia clan was somewhat relaxed compared to yesterday. The news of yesterday war had already come to Sylvia clan. The performance of their clansmen was good yesterday and it managed to soothe the heavy atmosphere.

Evan accompanied his mother to her palace. Olivia entered kitchen and soon came out with a big bowl of tasty looking food. A rumbling sound came from Evan's belly and Olivia giggled after hearing the plight of Evan's belly. 

She quickly placed the bowl of food infront of Evan and Evan started gobbling of the food like a starved soul. As he was becoming more mature, the amount of food he needed was getting higher. After piling up another three bowls did only Evan felt satisfied.

"Auntie, may I come over?", a sweet voice came from door. Evan looked over and saw Sophie standing at door.

"Sophie, why are you being so formal? Come over and talk with Evan. You two hadn't met each other for a long period", Olivia smiled and said to Sophie.

"Auntie, How have you been in these few days? I missed you a lot", Sophie asked Olivia. "I am fine now. You seems to be worked hard for our kingdom", Olivia replied with a smile. Then Sophie looked at Evan and her face reddened. "Hello....Evan, how.....how are you now", Sophie stuttered while asking Evan. Her face reddened more. She didn't even looked at Evan's face for longer. 

Evan dumbfounded after watching Sophie. "Why is sister Sophie behaving so strange today?", he murmured inside his mind. "I am fine, how are you doing", Evan replied to Sophie with a smile. "It is good then~", Sophie replied without looking at Evan. She was currently looking downward and drawing circles with her left toe. Evan started to check her with curiousity. According to his opinion, when did sister Sophie became so gentle and timid!
