*Thud*
*Thud*
A man in a royalwear rushed down a hallway of a royal palace with a bunch of armored soldiers.
He stopped before a room and opened the door..
*Creak*
He opened the door and entered the room. Inside the room, there were 3 nurses taking care of a girl lying in the bed with a bunch of bruises and injuries. He quickly rushed towards her and hugged her.
"Catheline! Are you okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine dad, it's nothing much..."
The girl in the bruises answered in a shaky tone. She was clearly not good enough.
"Cath, who did this to you, tell me!" He asked with a deepened voice. His eyes were looking blood red with anger.
"Dad..." Catheline stopped.
One of the soldiers from behind came up and started to report what happened.
"Your majesty, princess Catheline was in her academy, Liamen Royal Academy. This was a fight between princess Catheline and the daughter of Georgia Family's Head. The matter was trivial but Georgia Family's daughter became violent and started attacking princess Catheline first. Princess Catheline was rescued before any major injuries, but we couldn't give Georgia Family's daughter any punishment because of their recent influence...."
As the soldier continued to explain what happened, the man kept getting angrier and angrier, gripping his fist harder with each passing second.
Suddenly a man dressed with a long hat and glasses, like some minister, entered the room.
"Your majesty, Georgia Family is the most recent fastest growing family towards the Supreme 12 families like ours. It was all because of their son, who came out to be suddenly a genius in business and cultivation and started growing the family. In just 3 years their family has grown from the weakest family in the empire to the strongest high tier family in the empire. It is also said that in a year they'll also become an addition in the 12 supreme families. With our current state of family, we can't take any vague actions...." the minister said as he looked toward the angry father.
As the minister was saying all of these, a soldier from the very behind, slowly started to sneak his way out of the room, without letting anyone notice. When he got out of the room sneakily, he quickly started to make his way out of the hallway and rushed to the 3rd floor of the palace, towards a certain room.....
Meanwhile,
"So you're telling me that a random family member injured my daughter and I can't do anything about it?!" the father said with a loud shout as he grabbed the collar of the minister.
"Your majesty, if we go on a war against the Georgia Family right now, then we'll be suffering the most...."
"Aaah!" the father screamed in anger, but he also knew that he couldn't risk everyone's lives in his family because of his daughter, but as a father, he couldn't just let it slide...
"Dad, you don't have to do anything. It's okay, you don't need to risk our position as the 12th supreme family. Also, I'm totally fine...."
"But Cath, you can't even cultivate, how are you gonna heal those injuries?"
"It's okay dad, they will naturally heal eventually...."
"But Cath—"
"Dad..." Catheline stopped him midway.
"I'm sorry Catheline, I'm such a helpless father who can't even help his daughter..." the father gripped fist in anger.
The father left the room with a darkened expression. He knew he was helpless because power is everything in reality, and their family, Thompson Family was just barely holding their title as the 12th Supreme family. If they go into a war now then their position will be gone.
....
Meanwhile the soldier who left the room sneakily, arrived in front of a room's door, looking like the most decorated and luxurious room in the palace even from the outer area.
He slowly opened the door that was made out of pure gold. He pushed through the door and got inside the room.
Inside the room, there was a gigantic bed, capable of holding 4 people, but there was only one person sleeping in there...
"Your highness, there's a report!" the soldier shouted as he entered the room and stood there like a statue, like a soldier in front of his sergeant.
The room kept quiet for a while, no replies from the other side.
The soldier who reported, waited there awkwardly as he sneaked a peak at the person who was sleeping.
It was a boy, looking like in his 20's. He had a facial structure that looked other worldly, in any world, he'd be considered the top of charm. His charm was purely majestic. He had white hair and fairly tough looking muscles and a body.
Suddenly after a while of silence, the boy in the bed made a movement.
The soldier quickly changed his eye sight direction.
The boy, slowly woke up from the bed. He slowly opened his cyan colored majestic looking eyes. His sight finding for the reason he was interrupted in his sleep, then he noticed the soldier standing in the corner of the room firmly.
"What is it?" the boy asked in a lazy and sleepy tone.
"I have a report for you, Your Highness!"
....
....
....
Meanwhile in the Thompson family's Head's chamber, Catheline's father was still angry.
As the Head of the Thompson Family, Robert Thompson, Catheline's father, couldn't make any quick and rushed decisions.
"Minister Alfred, what if I just sacrifice all of you for my daughter, as the head of this family?"
"You can't and you won't, Your Majesty. You have the faith of many other Thompson family members. They all trust you and they believe you'll not betray them..."
"Yes... I can't.... I'm helpless" Robert punched his desk in anger, tearing the desk apart in two pieces.
"Your Majes—" Alfred tried to help Robert as his hand was bleeding.
"No, no need!" Robert suddenly clenched his fists and suddenly his hand started to heal.
"You see Alfred, this power, power of cultivation. This is not something my daughter is blessed with. All other family members of Thompson Family can heal in a minute easily with their powers, but my daughter... She can't... She will have to feel all the pain for many days...." Robert said as his voice became shaky.
"I can understand Your Majesty..."
"You can't Alfred, you can't. This helplessness is devouring me from inside..."
"...."
As their conversation was going on, suddenly a soldier rushed inside the head's room, without knocking or asking for permission even once. He was running out of breath, like some disaster hit the Thompson Family.
*Thud* *Thud*
"Your Majesty, there's a big problem!" the soldier said in a scared tone.
"Undisciplined! How did you get inside without perm—"
"His Highness is not in his room!" Before minister Alfred Thompson could finish his sentence, the soldier spoke up loudly.
Suddenly Robert and minister Alfred's eyes widened in shock. He was not in his room?
"What? Where is he?" Both Family Head Robert Thompson and Minister Alfred asked in a loud shout...
"We don't know yet, but some maids said that His Highness also ordered 30,000 soldiers to follow along with him!"
"What? 30,000?! No, this can't be... Is he...." Robert said in a worried tone, as he looked out of his window from his chamber which was located in the 7th floor of the palace.
From there, he saw a bunch of soldiers from Thompson family were flying in the sky, each carrying their weapons and armors and ahead all of them was one figure, riding a black horse with golden and white robes.
His appearance was majestic. Even from looking his back, anyone can tell that he was not in a good mood and his enemies are also not gonna be good soon.
"A-Agnus...." Robert started.
"... Thompson..." Minister Alfred completed.
This wasn't going to be a peaceful day....
