The kneeling man said, his heart was beating like crazy and he was on the verge of crying, ' Why is my luck so bad, why did this pig keep asking for all these news, ughhh should I make a run? '

He wondered, but it was impossible to run away from there and even if by slim chance he managed to escape, the king would definitely annihilate his family, thinking this the man just turned his head down and prayed to the Gods.

" Haah! Do you have any news about the bandits who had the job of gathering more people? "

The King shouted and asks:

" T- They- All of them had d- disappeared completely, just like Buddhist sect members, a- and we haven't been any to fin- "

*BOOOOOOOOM*

Before the words came out of the man's mouth, the king threw the golden ball on his head, and it exploded, throwing the pieces of flesh and brain all around.

" Fuck!! How did so much happened, just who is trying to sabotage me? " He shouted, jerking off the blood from his sleeves.

The queen who had been silently observing everything from the side with red and teary eyes, spoke:

" M- My baby, sob she killed him, my innocent son just what had he done to deserve something so cruel sob sob how could someone be so heartless, doing something like that to my precious baby? "

She cried, as the youngest one the third Prince held a special place in Xing An's heart, she adored him the most out of her three sons.

" A- All of this is that sob sob that witch Wang Jia's doing, t- this must be her way of sob sob taking revenge for what I did to her before.

No matter what, you have to avenge our son, I want to see that low life suffers and feel despair, husband, you have to do it. " She said, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Looking at his wife, Xing Tao stayed silent for a few minutes then after thinking for a while he spoke:

" Call Xie here, I want to talk to him and someone threw this out and appoint someone else in his position. "

The King muttered, he was sad and angry about his son's death but what matters more to him is his own life and to prolong it he needed to step into the next realm before his life came to an end.

By his side stood a man who is called the Second by everyone in the castle, he is one of the personal guards of the king.

Starting from one of the lowest positions he had climbed his way up to such a high position using whatever benefits he could get his hands on, whether it be fair or something illegal and brutal.

The man called ' Second ' is none other than Xiao Rong's father.

In his younger days, he married Lao Rong to get a position in the castle, since her family had quite a lot of power, to ensure that he would properly take care of their daughter he even got her pregnant after their marriage, showing that he planned to spend his entire life with Lao Rong.

But as soon as he got his position, he threw his previous life away, he turned away from Lao Rong and his unborn daughter and began living near the castle, though he still kept in touch with Lao Rong for some time so as not to offend her family.

Then he used whatever means he could, whether it be doing dirty deeds like killing or kidnapping, he climbed to a position as high as the personal guard of the king.

Rong Fu, the man called Second, has always known when to use any opportunity to his benefit to gain the best things out of it.

And right now hearing the king's silent words, he knew that this was his chance to climb even higher, if he succeeded Rong Fu might even become the king's knight.

He walked in front of the king, and knelt on one leg before speaking:

"Your Majesty the king, I have something to tell, and this loyal servant of yours asks for your permission. "

The king looked at him lazily he is well aware of the nature of Rong Fu, who jumps on every opportunity he gets, after a sigh the king spoke:

" Sigh, tell me what you have to say now. But be aware that if it's another bad news then I might not be able to control my rage and I really could end up killing you. "
