Chapter 353 - A Threat From Imperial Empire

-In Imperial Empire, King's Hall -

When the North Kingdom was busy dealing with the beasts horde and the South Kingdom was always fighting an endless battle with the Demons, the nobles from the Imperial Empire actually held a party.

The hall had many big chandeliers hanging on the top of the ceiling while the hall was vast enough to accommodate more than a hundred people at once. The floor was made of a white marble that added some magical effect, making it dazzling and flickered each time a person moved.

A beautiful painting was seen on the ceiling portraying the first human king, Sieg, slaying and conquering all of the lands. On the sides of the halls many paintings were seen such as the portrait of the history of Beast race from more than a hundred years ago dominating the world.

The other was the painting about the elves creating a barrier to prevent the attack from their king, Sieg to conquer that sacred land of elves. The hall was basically or could be said a museum as well, reminding them of their mistakes about their past.

As the banquet was held, many tables had dishes ranging from giant meat that seemed from the beasts race to fresh-looking vegetables. Servants and maids could be spotted everywhere, they were busy serving each of those nobles with their hands full of plates.

Some of the beautiful maids were spotted hanging with many nobles as they headed to a certain room. With their hip that swinging and their chest has touched those nobles, those beautiful maids were bold enough to flirt and seduce those nobles in front of their wives to their honey trap.

While the others were just looking at those maids with a gaze of envy, many of them seemed to want to replace that place but they could only blame their ugly faces.

Unlike the other kingdom who had been rebelled against the nobility system, the lives and the future of the civilians of the Imperial Empire depended on those nobles.

"Hahaha, long live the king!" The hall was full of people dressed in luxurious clothes. All of them were wearing a piece of beautiful jewelry while comparing their wealth to each other.

The young people were dazzling with their handsome and beautiful faces full of makeup. The young girls' lip was red and attractive while the boys were purposely showing their muscled chest.

"Your cake, my lady," A handsome servant came out of nowhere, offering a plate with a pancake smeared with honey and a smile as dazzling like a star.

He gently looked at the young lady in front of him who had a high-rank status of nobility when compared to other noble children. Not only maids, but even servants also had a chance to become a toy or secret lovers from those noblewomen.

There were many cases when noblewomen were having a secret affair with their handsome servants because of their husband's ugly face or simply their husband ignored them and preferred to do with those maids in their houses.

"Get lost," Upon hearing the young lady's answer, the handsome servant's expression darkened. He glared at the lady and peeked at her big assets. "What are you looking at?! Do you want your eyes to be poked out?!"

The young lady was very beautiful with her magenta eyes glaring at him. Judging from her face, she must be in her teens suited to become a marriage candidate.

She had long silky black hair reaching to her butt. Her left and right hair were tied to the back while the rest was loose on the back.

With a choker with jewelry placed on her fairy and smooth neck and her black dress showing and highlighting the chest area, she looked flawless compared to other young ladies.

If the handsome servant could become his lover or even fiancé, his life would not be serving the other again! Yet...

"I-I'm sorry, young lady!" the handsome servant replied in stutter and was frightened.

His complexion turned pale as soon he heard her words. He was just trying to get close with her as many rumors said her temper was fierce and not-lady-like.

Meanwhile, as the young lady caused a commotion with her words, a group of adult men watched her in amused from afar.

"Look at your granddaughter, Sir Luke. With her temperament how would she get a husband in the future?" A man with a vest and noble clothes-like spoke and glanced at the old man who stood in the middle watching the young lady with a sigh.

"I don't know what happens to her.  She became like this after she traveled to the North Kingdom," The old man called 'Luke' spoke with a hint of disappointment.

When someone sees his condition from the outside, their impression must be an old weak person, but weirdly not any of those adult nobles in this hall dare to mock or look down at him.

"Hahaha, you must be joking Sir Luke. With your reputation and power no kingdom dare to offend you. It must be your daughter having a high standard for her future husband," The other nobleman laughed awkwardly while throwing some praises.

The other just nodded and looking at him politely, did not dare to even make a mistake in their words. While they also carefully gestured their children to stay away from the old man's granddaughter.

"Respected gentleman, the king is calling all of you to present in the throne room. Your majesty said, he will discuss the matter about the future plan against the North Kingdom." A soldier with white armor without a helmet suddenly approached the group of the adult nobleman and politely spoke while kneeling with his knees on the ground.

"It seems this discussion must be related to Lady Leona and her family."

"Did you also get the news? I can't believe the traitor has become one of the pillars in the North Kingdom."

"But now, she must do the same thing again like in the past, hahaha because those peasants from the North Kingdom are hunting them down for some reason."

"You guys can go ahead, I need to have some talk with my granddaughter." The old man spoke to those adult nobles as he immediately went to his granddaughter without waiting for their reply.

"Tch! What arrogant old bones! His granddaughter also is the same as him! If not for the king and his power, I might have become a duke with two cities and even let my son play with his granddaughter!" One of those adult noblemen spoke disdain while watching the back of the old man Luke.

"Shh! Shut your mouth or he could hear what did you say. He is still a Grandmaster after all," One of them reminded the speaker which made him immediately close his mouth tightly.

As the old man called Luke walking to his granddaughter, many nobles pay respect to him. Most of them just give him a salute while the others respectfully bend their body.

If one asked why they did this kind of act to him, one should know the old man was a mighty figure and more respectable than the current king!

His past achievement would not even compare to the tiny achievement from Weston! His power was widely known to all humans! And this was also the reason why the two kingdoms did not dare to attack Imperial Empire.

As long this old man is alive, the Imperial Empire would still stand tall, arrogantly pressuring the two kingdoms.
