Monarch of Darkness

The man in golden armour then looked toward Evan. He squeezed out a smile when he saw him. "Are you the prince of thousand swords kingdom?",he asked.

"Yes,I am",Evan nodded calmly.

"I couldn't recognize you earlier.You are quite young for these ongoing matters",The middle-aged man in golden armour smiled slightly. Evan listened quitely but didn't say anything.

Lucas guided the golden armoured man and the blackrobed man to the Sylvia clan. After settling them down,Lucas came out of their room with Aaron. Evan was waiting outside. Together with Lucas and Aaron,Evan walked out of the guest palace.

Inside the guest palace,the man in golden armour was sitting leisurely on a wooden chair. The black robed man was standing beside him in a subservient manner. 

After sometime the blackrobed man broke the silence. He asked,"My lord ,what do you think,will they obey or not?"

"I don't care what they decide,I need to enforce this order by hook or crook. But remember one thing,no matter what you can't disrespect the royal family of thousand swords kingdom,we just need to bring this bargain chip with us. Then, situation will be under control no matter what happen in future",the golden armoured man warned the blackrobed man.

"The blackrobed man frowned but didn't say anything.

"Don't you dare do anything while I am here. You can do whatever you want, after I left",the golden armoured man warned again.

Meanwhile Evan was following after Lucas and Aaron. His mind was in a mess.

"What is happening,who are those men who came here riding a green feathered eagle",Evan could see situation was not good and he was feeling very confused. He very much wanted to understand what is happening and why Lucas was trying to send him hurriedly out of Sylvia clan with uncle Aaron.

"Uncle Lucas,what is happening?Can you tell me more clearly?",Evan asked. Seeing the confused look on his face,Lucas sighed. He said,"Evan wait patiently,wait for your aunt Brianna to arrive. Only,she can decide on this matter",Lucas replied.

"They walked for some distance and saw Olivia walking towards them. Don't say anything to Olivia.OnlyBrianna can talk to her about it",Lucas reminded Aaron and Evan. Evan got confused more.

"So confusing,what is it that they can't say to mom"

"Let's wait for aunt then",Evan consoled himself.

Olivia reached near them after some time. Seeing Olivia,Aaron quickly bowed slightly and said,"My queen,nice to see you."

"Brother Aaron,what happened,who are those people who have just...before Olivia could finish her sentence both Lucas and Aaron flew upward in the blink of an eye.

"Olivia,take care of Evan,we will talk after Brianna come,we are taking leave for a urgent matter",voice of Lucas sounded from afar. Evan looked at Lucas and Aaron who were flying rapidly towards opposite direction and frowned. He could tell that they were fleeing because they were hiding the truth from his mother.

"Evan,do you know anything. Why these guys have come to Sylvia clan?", Olivia asked to Evan. Evan shook her head and said,"Uncle Lucas said,I will know after aunt Brianna returns". 

Olivia brought Evan with her and they walked toward her palace. Olivia kept frowning in their way. Evan could tell that his mother was thinking about today's matter.

"I can tell something is not right. I am feeling restless today,I can even feel that it is related to you,Evan", Olivia muttered softly and her snow white hand wrapped around Evan more tightly. Evan felt sweet in his heart seeing the concern of his mother and he was amazed as well seeing his mother's perceptive ability.

Brianna returned after some hours. Everyone gathered inside Olivia's castle. Evan and Olivia was already there. Brianna came with Lucas and Aaron. Her face was gloomy and Evan could tell that she was furious for some reason. Evan could sense that her fury was not directed towards him and he felt relived. Even after becoming a little bit mature,Evan still feared Brianna.

"What happened big sis,who angered you so much?", Olivia asked. Brianna looked at Olivia and she had a complex look when facing her.Then her gaze turned towards Evan and her gaze turned gentle. She said,"Evan,you are already a big boy. I hope you can take care of yourself in coming years. Your mother and I will not accompany you from now on". A huge surprise came crashed toward Evan and Evan didn't know what to say.

Before Evan could say anything,a sobbing sound came from his side. Evan looked toward her and Olivia left her seat and came to Evan's seat. She held Evan's hand tightly and said while sobbing,"I knew something is going to happen. Why my son has to leave me?"

Seeing her pitiful expression, Brianna who had a resolute look in her face changed her expression. Two streaks of teardrops appeared on her pretty face and she started to sob,"Can anyone tell me,why fate is so unfair to my family. Evan is still a little child. These bastards are even not sparing a child like him. What a eight year child has to do with their political games. How can we live without seeing our child". She started to sob loudly. Her tears were showing her anguish and helplessness. Evan felt his heart was breaking seeing his mother and aunt. He felt a jolt of pain in his heart. He could feel the helplessness and despair in his aunt's voice and his blood boiled unknowingly. 

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes. "Who is planning against my family,I will rip them apart for sure",he vowed inside his mind.

"Calm down Brianna,if you break down,who will take care of Olivia and Evan",Lucas looked at Brianna. She looked toward Olivia who was sobbing more loudly after her previous outburst. Then her gaze rested upon Evan. She gradually calmed down and wiped her tear with her hand.

"I have already asked them. But they are not agreeing to my request to replace Evan with me",Brianna said.

"Damn it, I am so useless. Only if Nathan was here ,they couldn't have dared to lay their filthy eyes on his son. What bullshit emperor decree!, Aaron who was sitting there silently,hammered the table with his hand and cursed. 

'Northpeak kingdom' simply want to use Evan as a bargain chip to threaten us".
