Monarch of Darkness

Evan walked towards the palace complex after seeing off Alice. He felt a little down but it also gave him a new goal. He looked towards the distant horizon and the cheerful face of Alice appeared inside his mind.

A hint of determination appeared in his eyes as his gaze fell upon the place where Alice had vanished. "Celestial wind city, I will go there after finishing up here", Evan thought to himself.

"Let's go", he commanded after withdrawing his gaze. The royal guards followed after him without making any noise. They had seen how the little girl who was with their prince, disappeared in the distant sky. It was an unbelievable moment for them but no one questioned Evan despite their curiousity about Alice.

"Please let us meet a Sylvia clan member. We will leave immediately after meeting one of them", Evan heard a voice near the palace gate.

"Brats, why you two have not left yet? Unless you can agree to our condition, we can't help you", another voice came in reply to the first voice.

"Please, we beg you. Let us meet the Sylvia clan. Our branch is being chased by the enemies now", another voice came from the distance.

"What is going on?", Evan frowned as he walked toward the place from where he heard the voices. He couldn't simple ignore anything related to Sylvia clan. Moreover the attitude of the royal guard made him frown. As if they were not taking the Sylvia clan seriously.

Soon he reached the place where the argument was going on. He saw a young boy and a young girl surrounded by the city guards. The young boy was probably younger than him and the girl looked older than him.

Currently the girl was begging with a tearstained face.

The guards who have surrounded the pair of boy and girl noticed the arrival of Evan. Some of them quite became panic-stricken as they knew the identity of Enemies van.

"Welcome back, your highness", they immediately bowed towards Evan. "Can someone explain what is the matter?", Evan asked with a frown.

"Excuse me. Are you the prince of the Thousand swords kingdom?", the older looking girl asked Evan with surprise in her eyes.

Evan nodded his head but before he could say anything, a guard butter in between their conversation. "Impudence, how dare you disrespect the prince? Immediately kneel down to him. Otherwise we will not show mercy".

Evan looked at the guard who had just spoke. Earlier this was the guard whose voice Evan had heard.

"No need, stand aside", Evan looked at the city guards. The city guards obeyed his command but Evan noticed the guard who was just speaking earlier showing a threatening gaze to the pair of boy and girl before walking away.

"Can you tell me why are you looking for the Sylvia clan?", Evan looked at the pair of boy and girl.

He scanned them with his soul consciousness and soon found out the cultivation of the pair. The younger looking boy was at middle stage of Meridian opening realm and the girl had actually reached Profound transformation realm! 

The girl sneakily glanced at the guard who had given him a threatening glare earlier. Evan noticed her gaze and understood what she was thinking. "No need to worry about anyone. You can speak to me freely", he comforted the girl and threw a glance at the soldier.

It was just a plain glance but the guard felt uneasy after noticing Evan's gaze on him. He quickly looked down and avoided making eye contact with Evan.

"Your highness, do you know Levi? He often talked about you when we all were in Bluespear academy", the young girl asked Evan.

"Oh, are you two familiar with Levi?", Evan asked with a smile. The young girl nodded her head as her tense expression relaxed slightly after seeing the smile of Evan.

"I am Emilia Frank and he is Ben, my little brother. We both are from Bluespear academy. Currently my Frank family is being chased by the enemies. Many of those who belongs to our faction has been killed. We all have escaped towards the Thousand swords kingdom but our enemies managed to track us down. Currently all of them are surrounded by the enemies. We are here to find some help from Sylvia clan", the young looking girl spoke as teardrops poured out from her eyes.

"I don't know what Levi will do but let's go meet him first", Evan spoke after listening to her plight. He then turned his gaze towards the city guard who was earlier making it difficult for the pair of young boy and girl.

"What is the condition that your are speaking to them?", Evan asked the guard. 

"He wants us to pay him five gold coins. We have already gave him two gold coins but he is still insisting to give him another three gold coins", Ben who was silent untill now chose to speak.

"What is the punishment for asking for bribery?", Evan asked to a royal guard who were following him.

"Your highness, he will be given thirty lashes as his punishment and then he will be dismissed from his post", the royal guard answered while looking at the city guard coldly.

"There is no need to kick him out from his post. Give him thirty lashes and then throw him in the white prison", Evan calmly spoke before walking away with the he pair of young boy and girl.

"Your highness, I am wrong. Please have mercy", the city guard fell upon his knees and started to wail. Even his companions had a frightened look as they saw the retreating back of Evan.

Evan completely ignored the frantic shouting of the city guard and walked away. The soldier was swiftly taken care of after Evan left towards the palace.

Before long Evan reached the palace where the Sylvia clan group was staying now. He spread his soul consciousness and found Levi who was practicing his sword near the water fountain.

Levi discovered the group of Evan when they approached the fountain. A smiling expression appeared on his face as he saw Evan approaching but his smiling expression quickly changed to that he f surprise after he saw the two person who were standing behind Evan.contemporary romance
