Monarch of Darkness

"Big sister Emilia, little Ben, what are you guys doing here?", Levi asked with confusion.

The distance between Thousand swords kingdom and the Bluspear academy was quite vast. The Thousand swords kingdom was located in the extreme north while the Bluspear academy was in South. So, it was normal for Levi to feel surprise after seeing his acquitances from distant Bluespear academy.

"Levi, please help us. Our Frank family is currently being attacked by the third elder's faction. We managed to escape here but those descipable bastards somehow managed to trace us", Emilia spoke while struggling hard to contain her tear. Her expression was now as if she found her saviour in a hopeless situation.

"Big sister, just what is going on?", Levi furrowed his brows as a worried expression appeared on his face.

"Levi, let them catch some breath first. Invite them inside and we can hear their problem afterword", Evan suggested from side.

Levi nodded his head and invited them to enter the guest palace. Evan ordered a palace maid to bring some water and refreshment for the pair of boy and girl.

The boy and girl quickly drank up the water given to them. Although they were cultivators, they still felt thirst and hunger. Moreover, from their behaviour, anyone could imagine how bad their situation was.

"Big sister Emilia, Can you tell me now? what happened actually?", Levi asked the young girl.

"Levi, Is the Nascent soul realm expert of your Sylvia clan still around?", Emilia asked. Levi nodded his head as he knew granny Adaline was still in his Sylvia clan.

Evan narrowed his eyes as his interest roused after hearing the ongoing conversation of Levi and Emilia. The fact that Sylvia clan had a Nascent soul realm expert was a rumour in the Thousand swords kingdom but it shouldn't be something an outsider should know. 

Evan's interest piqued as he focused his eyes on the young girl to see what was she going to ask next.

"Then, can you contact that senior of your clan? Without the help of a Nascent soul realm expert, my family members are going to die?", Emilia looked at Levi with faint hope and anxiousness.

"Just what is going on? You said your family members are going to die but how is this possible? Is not your ancestor a peak Nascent soul stage expert?", Levi asked as confusion written all over his face.

"Things started to change days after you left the Bluespear academy. The health of the principal started to deteriorate and he passed away two months ago. The inner struggle between the various factions started and considering my grandfather's position in the Bluespear academy, our Frank family couldn't walk out of the struggle even if we have wanted.

The situation was not that worse first. But half a month ago, those Dupont family bastards managed to get some outsiders support. With the help of those outsiders, they swiftly suppressed the grand tutor and started to suppress our faction.

My grandfather stopped the attacking enemies with his live and we managed to flee from the Red leaf kingdom. But thosioe bastards somehow managed to trace us and currently father, uncle and other elders are being chased by them", Emilia explained wlhile trying hard to stop her tear from falling down.

How did this happen?

"How did this happen? What about uncle Jules and sister Belle?", Levi asked with an agitated voice. Evan raised his brows as he had never seen Levi losing his calm like now.

"Belle fled with third elder to the Shadow forest. Those animals wanted to hand her over to them but how can we do this to her?", Emilia started to sob as he couldn't control tear anymore. The nearby Ben also clenched his fists as he felt deeply agitated.

"How dare they do this?", Levi roared out as he couldn't accept the said facts. 

"What about your ancestor? Is not he a peak Nascent soul stage expert?", Levi asked in a confused voice. According to his knowledge, Frank family had a peak Nascent soul stage ancestor.

"Ancestor died in the hands of the outsiders", Emilia started to sob loudly. Evan frowned after hearing the word outsiders. He decided to ask about those outsiders after the girl Infront of him calmed down.contemporary romance

"What about uncle Jules? Is he with your father now?", Levi asked with an agitated tone. Emilia nodded her head as she looked at Levi with a sad expression.

"What is the enemy strength? How many top experts are in the enemy side?", Levi asked with a sense of urgency in his tone.

"They have around six Core Condensation realm experts and two Nascent soul stage experts in their rank. There are many more of them but they sent two Nascent soul stage experts to chase us down", Emilia replied.

A light flashed past Evan's eyes as he heard the power of Frank family enemies. The power of enemies were not much but it was also not something negligible either. Even Thousand swords kingdom had to give some effort to contain such enemies. Evan quickly sorted his thoughts and threw a look at Levi.

It was clear to him that the Frank family had some kind of relationship with Levi and it was not shallow from the look of things.

"Levi, what are you planning to do?", Evan asked Levi who was sitting there with a tensed expression.

"What should I do?", Levi felt helpless by the situation. He couldn't let the things as they were because if he had to sit without doing anything then Frank family was going to be killed. That was the last thing he wanted to see.

Evan saw the changing expression of Levi as he wondered about the relationship between Levi and the Frank family. He wouldn't deny to help Levi but dispatching three Nascent soul stage experts was not a decision he could take.

"Sister Emilia, can you tell me the relationship between Levi and your Frank family?", Evan asked the young girl Infront him. Without understanding the complete matter, he couldn't help Levi properly.

"Belle once saved him in the shadow forest. Levi was at that time at the verge of death but she still rescued him and brought him to our Frank family. Since then, he grew close with uncle Jules family. Thus, everyone knew him in our Frank family", Emilia explained.

Evan nodded his head and looked at Levi. He knew he had to help Levi in this situation. Considering the disposition of Levi, he would be heartbroken if he couldn't do anything for the Frank family.

But before he could say anything, he saw Levi looking at him.

"Evan, please help me. I beg you. It will be my first and last request from you. If you can help with it, my soul will be yours from now on", Levi spoke with a solemn voice. His voice was determined and he looked at Evan with a firm gaze in his eyes.
