Ares nearly said something to counter Bones order, but Lucia was already defending herself…
“Edwin has a far better chance of taking your manhood in his mouth, Your Majesty!” she spat, her fury sharpening every word.
The crimson in her eyes bled into her lids, staining them with rage.
Her face shares resemblance with an undying flame, getting fueled by the irksomeness of Edwin’s lies.
Hearing what she said, Edwin spranged up evasively, pointing a straight finger at her. “Now that you’ve been caught in your lowly debauchery acts, you’re trying to pull me with you to your ruin?”
The court fell into a suffocating hush. Emperor Bones leaned back into his throne just as Lucia crossed the floor toward Edwin.
Edwin was still glaring at her defiantly when her palm unfolded.
It cut through the air and cracked against Edwin’s face with a sharp, resounding force.
The burn of the slap made Edwin fall back to his seat, clutching his cheek.
Every minister drew in a sharp breath—every one but Ares.
He merely set his cracked cup down with intentional calm.
He knew she was going to find a way to weasel out of it, and he loves watching her play, like crazy.
Now, he’s smiling ruinously again.
Edwin spranged back up, his hand falling off his cheek slowly, dazed. “You….. slapped me?”
“I know you made the fake report to His Majesty.” Lucia began, each utterance icy.
“I left the party early last night because I got a message that my mother was awake so I had to go see her, but of course you hate me enough to pin a low lie on me! Unless you want to die, never say my name and debauchery in one sentence again!” She lashed out at Edwin.
“Lying on you?” Edwin laughed, speeding up his words so this coming crash won’t land on him. “What about the other Ministers who saw you? You’re telling me I managed to turn three high officials against you? You’re shamelessly denying your sins and it’s laughable!” He grinned.
“All the Ministers that claimed they saw me leaving with a steward last night were all drunk before I left the party. How could they have seen me leaving?” Lucia flung.
Edwin faltered a bit, but he didn’t let it show as Lucia turned around, pointing at the three Ministers who testified against her.
“Minister of Rites, you were drunk as hell before I left last night. Minister of Censorship, your head was on your table…you were dead drunk! Minister of Works, you were laughing like a madman cos you had too much to drink too, so tell me… how were y’all able to memorize the exact time I left when even Edwin himself was drunk!” She chewed them again.
“No one was drunk! None of us!” Edwin argued continually, walking down the chair circle to the center where he went on his knees.
“Your Majesty, the fact that she’s your favorite official in here is being abused by her. You can’t let her get away with this. I was there twenty years ago when she was 7! You announced to the whole Empire that her body belongs to you, and her virginity is yours to take! She has been sleeping with a steward! She’s not worthy of your trust!”
Of all the words Edwin said, only one part resounded in Ares’s ears.
HER VIRGINITY IS YOURS TO TAKE.
His gaze settled on Edwin, and something disturbingly colder took shape behind his eyes.
Edwin should not be here at all. Edwin’s presence is an error the world should be rid of.
An error he’s going to correct.
He’s going to kill Edwin.
“Last night,” Lucia continued in the center, facing Bones too.
The Void Emperor sat there on his throne like a signature of evil. He said nothing, surprisingly.
He has been watching the show just like everyone else.
“I didn’t leave without informing anyone.” Lucia said, making sure her hollow eyes stayed on Bones.
Then, she turned her head and faced her right hand side where Lothar and Ares are sitting at.
“I told General Lothar about my departure.” She lied.
Lothar nearly choked.
Edwin’s eyes widened, and the eyes of the three lying Ministers.
Ares rested his elbow on the low table, staring into Lucia’s eyeballs.
Why Lothar? Why would she lie on Lothar but not him?
Why exactly?
She’d rather trust Lothar to defend her lies than trust him?
Lothar looked at Ares, and Ares gave him a blank stare.
Slowly, Lothar stood.
“She really told me before leaving. She received a note from Doja the caregiver that her mother was awake, so…she left.” He said.
Lucia faced Emperor Bones again on his throne, embracing her folded left knuckles with her right palm.
“Hope this finds the right justice, Your Majesty.”
Bones cleared his throat. His waistband is back to tied, and his eyes landed on Edwin who’s still on his knees on the ground.
He reeled forward on his throne, his forearm resting on his lap and a dry stare in his eyes. “Do you have any other lie to tell, Edwin?”
Edwin gulped, looking up to meet his eyes slowly.
“No! I didn’t plan anything! The wine at the party was so good last night that I got drunk with the three Ministers and we probably saw jargons and thought it was real! Please pardon my stupidity, Your Majesty, it won’t happen ag—”
“Tie him to the execution chair,” Bones cut him off.
“W…wh..hat?!” Edwin’s mind jumped.
“Him and the three lying Ministers. Tie them to the execution chair and break every single bone in their bodies while they’re still alive. Make sure they stay alive till the end of the last bone breaking, and leave their bodies for maggots in the cave.” Emperor Bones continued.
“No!!!!!!!!!” Edwin screamed, slamming his forehead on the ground repeatedly. “No!! Your Majesty! It was a mistake! Please have mercy!!!”
The other three Ministers are already on their knees too, begging for their lives as four executioners entered the court to take them.
Lucia returned to her seat in the middle of the chaos, and the gazes of the remaining Ministers settled on her unbeatable figure as she walked in the middle of the court.
Not everyone has the power to turn a scene that was designed to destroy them to a scene to destroy the enemy.
“She’s too smart,” Lothar chuckled. “She lied with my name, and I feel like saying thank you. Felt so good helping with the destruction of Edwin…that c+nt.” He sneered.
Lucia took her seat, and her eyes met with Ares’s, again.
This time, she looked away.
“Why did she lie on Lothar’s name but not his own name?” Ares asked himself inwardly again.
This time, he got the answer, and he looked down at her veil in his pocket.
Edwin’s cries is still bouncing and echoing around the court like a hell’s chant, together with his minions.
The four executioners are in the middle now. Giant, bulgy men who wore armless leather shirts and wide cotton pants. They all have large, deep scars on their faces, giving them the needed ugly, hideous looks.
They grabbed Edwin and his minions, but that was when Prime Minister Kai stepped in.
“Your Majesty,” He stood like a special guest everyone has been waiting for. “Please, pardon my nephew.”
Silence reigned again.
“His sin is unforgivable, but he has done too much for this Empire. He doesn’t deserve to get killed. I’m not trying to go against your decree, but no one will be brilliant with tax collection and salary distribution like Edwin is. If he could get another punishment that’s not death, I’ll do anything to appreciate.”
“Let your wife come to my bed to spend a night, and I can reconsider.” Emperor Bones said immediately like he planned this exact minute.
“Your Majesty!” Minister Kai’s facial lines deepened with shock.
The Ministers don’t look moved. It’s not news that Bones is the king of lust. His interest in Kai’s wife is not something to be shocked about.
“You said you’d do anything,” Bones smiled devilishly.
Minister Kai kept quiet, finding his lips hard to open.
“Take them away!” Bones shouted at the executioners.
“I’ll send her!” Minister Kai quickly agreed. “I’ll send my wife to your Palace of Silent Night at nightfall.”
“That was….fast.” Lothar muttered.
Dakota is the only one who hasn’t made a move since the start of this court session. Like a special new Minister, he’s taking his time to check everything out carefully.
The executioners left, and Edwin sat on the ground, sniffling.
When his eyes met Lucia’s, Lucia gave him a haunting, creepy smirk which made him look away.
“When is the gathering of the 500 youths going to start, Lothar?” Bones asked suddenly.
“This morning, right after this court session, Your Majesty!” Lothar quickly responded.
The Court was dismissed, and everyone lowered their heads as Bones made his exit.
But he couldn’t stop staring at Lucia even as he walked to the door.
His eyes are on her.
He knows Lucia is still intact and she has no ambition for marriage.
He wasn’t going to make her suck him openly earlier.
It was a trick to make her twist Edwin’s game on him, and she did it. Now cos of it, he’ll be having Kai’s wife in his bed tonight.
Good turnout.
His lustful eyes swept off Lucia, and he stepped out of the door.
He always saves the best meal for last, and that’s Lucia.
The night he’s going to finally take her v+rginity, he’ll stuff every hole in her body with his c+vk.
But for now? She should get more and more marination.

[Fenxi Empire]
There’s a lot of contrast between Fenxi and Zura, and it starts from the streets. There are single beggars here.
Everyone works hard and everyone earns for saving cos there’s no exorbitant taxes and tributes.
Zura might be bigger with dark, bloody beauty, but Fenxi beauty is soft and even on the citizens.
Fenxi has three big Palace and one very wide court.
From the biggest Palace, a insanely pretty lady stepped out.
Her steps are ragingly quick as she head towards the Court.
Her midnight blue robe isn’t modestly long or dragging the ground like the robes of unmarried ladies her age. The robe is curved in the front, so her legs are free to move fast.
As beautiful as a fairy, but as angry as a wounded bull.
Princess Ruyi, the Princess of this Empire. A warrior princess.
She barged into the court when a meeting is ongoing, and the officials in line gave her confused, questioning looks till she arrived at the center and gave a respectful bow to her father.
Emperor Ashes sat dignified on the tall throne, his white hair in a tight bun with a golden pin, and his face is obviously touched by age.
“Ruyi, when a meeting is going on, you can’t enter the court without announcing it first.” He cautioned.
“Sorry for being uncouth, father,” she responded, still angry. “The missing magistrate was last seen at the gambling den, and I took my time to investigate his whereabouts. That night, he left the gambling den with a woman. A guard in front of the den saw them leaving, and she’s definitely behind the Magistrate’s disappearance.”
“We know that, Ruyi. Minister of Security found that out not long ago.” Emperor Ashes nodded. “We killed the magistrate of Zura, and killing our own magistrate was Zura’s revenge. You should return to your chambers and rest. Or go spend time with your mother and brother.”
“So I told the guard to describe the woman,” Ruyi continued like she didn’t hear what her father just said. “I drew the appearance, and…”
She pulled a paper out of her waist sachet and unfolded it.
There, sat the drawing of the woman in black-red robe, ponytail hair with red ribbon and a long knife hanging like death on her waist.
“Lucia? Shadow Minister of Zura?” Emperor Ashes sighed.
“Exactly,” Ruyi rolled eyes. “For an outsider like her from an enemy Empire to be able to enter our Empire and take out our magistrate, she has spies working in here and we have to find them out! How did she get the Border Pass and how did she maneuver through the Post Station!”
“Calm down, Ruyi.” Emperor Ashes spoke softly.
“No I can’t!” Ruyi spat. “Father I really can’t. I know you like taking your time to plan before attacking, but I need this one fast. The magistrate was my friend’s father. He might be a gambler, but he was also a father. I need the plan fast. Once we enter Zura for the war, just leave Lucia to me. Her life is mine.”
Emperor Ashes relaxed, sighing. “Your mind is made up.”
“Of course,” Ruyi nodded. “They must pay, in blood.”

[Zura Empire, Palace Of Darkness – Imperial Kitchen]
The breakfast is done—Ares’s breakfast. The kitchen oozed with the aroma from the tantalizing delicacies, and as Princess Ina checked out the dishes, she was blushing.
Enya isn’t here with her anymore. She got a message that her father wanted her at home, so she left.
Ina kicked away the body of a maidservant on the kitchen floor.
A bloody dead body.
Her only sin was breathing too loud during the cooking, and Ina shoved a rod in her vagina.
She died on the spot.
“Why is this body still here!” Ina shouted crankily.
Two maids quickly ran to that angle to drag the body out.
Another two began wiping the blood, so Princess Ina was able to get to the next meal on the wide table.
She lowered her face and let the aroma fill her nose. The imagination of how pleased Ares would look while eating made her grin.
She lifted her back, and Empress Sally entered the kitchen.
“Your Majesty!” The maids bowed.
“Mother!” Ina rushed to the woman who looks deeply disturbed.
“Look who’s busy supervising her husband’s meals,” Sally smiled faintly as her eyes travelled to the dishes.
“My virginity is gone! I should show you the stained bedspread. I’ll keep that bedspread forever without washing. It’s the symbol of our undying love.” Ina gushed.
“Ina,” Sally sighed.
“Mother?” Ina slowed down, noticing the hard contours of Sally’s face. “Mother, are you fine?”
Sally just pulled her out of the kitchen without talking.
Once they got out, she faced her. “I got news that at the Cold Court this morning, His Majesty nearly had s+x with Lucia.”
“What!” Ina’s face darkened.
“Because Lucia refused to do it, His Majesty is taking Minister Kai’s wife to bed tonight.” Sally said.
“Enya’s mother in my father’s bed? What!!!” Ina screamed.
“What if she gets pregnant for him and bears his heir?” Sally panicked.
“Not on my watch!” Ina promised and stormed off, straight to the Third Hall where she’s sure Bones would be at.
The guards by the door stepped away for her, and she entered gently, walking with calmness till she arrived at the front where Bones sat at, reading citizens notes.
Ina did a half kneeling and a bow, then smiled. “Father,”
“I don’t care if Enya is your friend, Ina. I have never cared about right and wrong.” Bones said, shattering her calmness facade.
“Father, not Enya’s mother!” She raised her voice. “I won’t even mind if you sleep with Lucia cos she’s a whore I don’t care, but Enya’s mother? Father it’s not rig—”
“I just told you that I don’t care about rights and wrongs, Ina,” Bones raised his corrupted gaze. “I won’t revoke the decree cos of you.”
“I only just got married yesterday, and this is the gift you want to give me? Sleeping with my friend’s mother? Father, it’s unfair!!”
“Drag her out of here!” Bones commanded, and guards rushed inside, but she professionally dragged out the sword of one of them and pointed it forward threateningly.
“Touch me and I’ll behead you all!!” She threatened.
Knowing her talk and do personality, the guards stayed their distance, and Ina faced Bones again.
“Mother doesn’t deserve what you’re doing, and if you really sleep with Enya’s mother, I’ll hate you!” She spat, throwing down the sword.
She stormed out.
“Issue a new decree!” Emperor Bones said immediately.
The guards knelt.
“Tonight, in my bedroom with Kai’s wife, Empress Sally must be there to watch every minute of the sex!” Emperor Bones ordered
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The guards echoed and rushed out to deliver.

[Valmont Residence]
“This same rejuvenation pill is making Void Emperor Bones younger than his age. He’s in his forties, but he looks like he’s in his thirties, so why is it not working the same for me? Why do I keep growing old every minute?” Phoebe said weakly, taking another spoon of her medicine from Doja who’s sitting beside her in bed.
“Your illness is beyond my knowledge, Phoebe. I’m even thankful that at least the pills work towards keeping you alive. Your strange oldness will disappear once we find you a permanent cure.” Doja responded gently.
“And when is that cure going to come?” Phoebe’s shaky voice drawled out again as some of the medicine leaked down her neck.
Doja quickly wiped it.
“Lady Lucia is trying her best to find you a cure despite the watchful eyes of the Void Emperor. I’m sure she’ll soon come up with something. You know your daughter is strong.”
“But she’s unhappy with me,” Phoebe sniffled. “And I just can’t tell her what she wants to hear…”
A low noise happened outside, and Doja excused herself to go check it out. It’s exactly what she expected.
There’s a black cat sitting on the backyard pavement with a little scroll between it’s teeth.
It’s Emperor Bones errand cat.
Doja removed the scroll from the cat’s mouth and opened it.
★ Did you send a note to Lucia last night at the midnight party, concerning her mother?
Doja looked around, and Lucia quickly slid back beside the wall where she has been hiding.
She saw the cat even before Doja came out, so she hid and waited, and now she’s watching.
Doja entered her room and grinded little ink on the ink stone.
Then, she wrote her answer on that same scroll…
★ Yes, I did.
She wrapped it back and inserted it back to the cat’s mouth.
The cat rushed out of the room, leaping up to the rooftop.
It left.
Doja returned to Phoebe’s room, and Lucia left the back wall.
She mightn’t be there when Doja was writing her reply, but she calculated the minutes she spent writing.
“Yes, I did.” is shorter than “No, I didn’t.”
And her writing minutes was short, so she knows her answer.
She went for the gate, and by the hitch post, she stopped to gaze at her horse for a while.
Riding on it feels irritating most of the times, considering the fact that it was gifted by Bones.
The most villainous man of Zura.
The man she wants to kill.
If only her mother could spill the secret, things would have been easier, but Phoebe refused.
Now she has to find out the truth herself cos without the truth, she can’t move forward in this plan.
But then… Ares.
Their parents were the victims of the tragedy, would he know something?
She looked up, and her errand pigeon came flying.
It didn’t stop, if just dropped the note between it’s beak, and Lucia caught it. The pigeon flew away.
★ Treasures sold for 25 bags of silver. They’ve been stacked in the underground bank. Horror, we should meet today or tomorrow at most—to plan the next operation.
By the tone, Limon definitely wrote this. She didn’t write a reply.
She has a more pressing issue at hand right about now.
She just pocketed the note and left the residence.
Where would the flirty womanizing jerk be if not the brothel?
She made her way to the brothel, deciding to trek it.
And in the streets, it’s total chaos as the armies are raiding every house.
Lothar is leading them, and they’re dragging out male youths starting from age eighteen.
Old mothers could be seen crying devastatingly, screaming and begging Lothar to please not send their son to war, but Lothar had to pretend like he’s not hearing a thing.
Lucia saw the discomfort in his face which indicates he doesn’t want to do this, but does he dare go against the Void Emperor’s orders?
He dare not.
—
[Duan Residence]
The house is hot, and not the sunshine, fire kind of hot.
It’s the anger, fury kind.
Prime Minister Kai sat with his shoes tapping the ground repeatedly. He looks restless.
Enya stood behind him, looking mad too. Edwin stood in front of him, looking like a thief who got caught.
Kai’s wife sat on a chair close to the door, looking undecided.
“Now that you’ve achieved your aim of ruining my plan, you’re satisfied, right?” Minister Kai looked up.
“I was only trying to make Lucia suffer!” Edwin said.
Kai stepped into Edwin’s face. “Make her suffer? Now look who’s suffering! You were nearly executed, but to stop that, I have to send my wife to the Emperor’s bed tonight! All for you!”
“You think you’re smart enough to actually trap Lucia? You think you have the needed intelligence to play games with her!!!?” Kai grabbed Edwin by his collar, tightly.
“I’ve been telling you to stay away from Lucia and that bastard Ares! Let me handle them myself but you’re too recalcitrant! I don’t mess with people unless I know their in and out secrets, but I know nothing about those two no matter how much I dig!”
“That only means you’re not digging enough and I was only trying to help! It’s not my fault it backfired!” Edwin yelled at his face.
And he received the third slap immediately on his jaw.
His ears were boiling as he fell on the floor, grunting.
Enya stomped forward and pulled him up with force.
“Now that my mother is to go warm the Emperor’s bed tonight, what are you going to do? Huh? Edwin, what are you going to do!!!”
“I don’t know!!!” Edwin yelled back bitterly. “I don’t know, ok?”
He freed himself and left the house with his cheek still boiling.
“If mother warms His Majesty’s bed, Ina will never forgive me. She holds grudges with families as a whole so I just know she’ll never forgive me…” Enya said restlessly.
Minister Kai turned to face his wife who has been silent.
He’s full of guilt, so much he couldn’t even say a word.
The woman stood, disappointment arching her brows.
“You’d rather have me warm His Majesty’s bed than allow His Majesty kill Edwin? He’s not even your son. He’s your dead brother’s son so I don’t understand why you’re protecting him this much.” She sneered and left the room.
But the disappointment on her face only lasted a few steps away from the room. Getting to her own room, she smiled wide behind the door.
To think that she sat right here in her house and this opportunity came to meet her. She must have saved a nation in her past life to get this tasteful opportunity.
She needs to shave herself very clean. She definitely can’t wait for tonight.
—
[Jade Brothel]
It’s one hour before dusk—the best time for alcohol and women-hunting. Best time to drink into the night.
Ares walked into the brothel like a king, and the prostitutes in their transparent, low-necked robes flanked him immediately.
These ladies don’t care about their lives, cos if they do, they’d be staying away knowing he’s the Princess’s husband, and knowing what the Princess did to some of the prostitutes here two days ago.
But everyone here is about making money for the Madame of the brothel. Their lives aren’t worth nothing, and everyone knows Ares spoils his prostitutes with his salary, so they surrounded him.
• We knew you’d come back.
• We’ve been waiting for you, My Lord. You’ll have every taste you desire here today.
• Pick me, My Lord.
• I can play the pipa and qin!
• I’m the best dancer here!
• I can caress and suck!
• I just shaved!
Different sinful words and affirmations, but Ares just took his seat and picked four of them.
He doesn’t want a crowd today, mostly because two of the four that he picked are his sidekicks.
Qui and Meng, disguised as pr0stitutes.
Meng poured the wine, and Qui subtly caressed him.
HER V+RGINITY IS YOURS TO TAKE.
Edwin’s words to Void Emperor Bones earlier in court resounded loudly in his head.
His gaze iced up.
“Treasures sold, proceeds stacked up in your secret vault, My Lord.” Qui whispered in his ear.
“You probably didn’t see the streets,” Meng said in a low voice too, pouring him the second wine cup. “Lothar is already following the orders of the Void Emperor, gathering youths.”
“He can’t not follow. He has no choice,” Ares took the cup from Meng
“Now that your first plan of marrying the Princess is done, are we moving on to the next?” Qui asked.
And that was when a female wearing a veiled hat entered the room, steps quieter that sea breeze.
Despite her hat, Ares recognized that walk and aura immediately. His gaze lowered to her shoes, and his demeanor changed when she pulled a chair close and sat in front of him.
Meng and Qui also recognized that knife around her waist, so they left that area, giving privacy.
Ares picked the wine jar to pour himself the next cup, but Lucia snatched it from him and brought it to her lips under the veil.
She drank from the jar.
Ares watched her with cold intrigue, then he leaned forward.
“Not scared that it might be poisoned? It takes a second for me to poison anyone.” He whispered.
She dropped the jar and leaned forward too, their faces meeting at the middle of the table.
“You need my cooperation. You wouldn’t dare poison me. Isn’t that right, Calamity?” She whispered back, the corner of her eyes thinning.
“Are you here to give that cooperation?” Ares responded, his smile forming.
“What do you know about the tragedy twenty years ago?” She asked.
Ares’s lips lifted, and he made to shift back, but she pulled him back in, swiftly by his neckline.
Their faces stayed in the middle of the table, above jars and cup.
“I need an answer,” she whispered.
“I asked for cooperation, but you refuse to give, and now you expect me to start spilling what I know? Lucia, you’re an interesting woman.” He whispered back, raising his hand.
He nearly touched her face under the veil, but she let go of his neckline, creating space between them.
“Why should I cooperate with you? I work better alone, or with my sidekicks. You do the same. I’m never working with you, but we can trade info for info.” She said.
“What info would you possibly have for me, let’s see…” He smirked.
But Lucia couldn’t answer, cos that was when Edwin was sighted.
He’s currently moving up the staircase with twelve pr0stitutes all around him, and he’s cackling loudly, disturbing the air with his voice.
HER V+RGINITY IS YOURS TO TAKE.
His voice formed in Ares’s ears again, and his blood heated.
Lucia saw Edwin too, and the occurrence of the court earlier replayed in her head.
She stood.
Ares stood at the same time.
They looked at each other.
“We’ll finish this talk after i finish him.” Ares said, picking his sword from the table.
“After YOU finish him?” Lucia frowned under her veil.
Ares didn’t answer.
Instead, he entered a spare room, and when he came out through the second door after two minutes, he’s already changed completely to a lighter black robe, and he’s wearing his facecloth around his face.
He dipped his sword inside black dye to change the color.
He was already climbing the staircase when Lucia blocked him.
She’s changed too. Black-red has been replaced with pure black.
She’s disguised as a male right now, and she’s wearing a facecloth too.
“What reason do you have to target him?” She asked.
“I just want to tackle him for fun. Don’t ask me again.” H jumped over the rails, landing on top.
Edwin takes the biggest, most luxurious room whenever he comes here, so it was easy to locate.
Ares pushed the door open with his leg, and the wood made way for him to enter. Inside the room, the prostitutes are already stripping.
Half of them have their upper jackets off already, so different sizes of breasts are in display.
Ares knew that would be the case, so he entered with his back.
“Assassin!!!” The prostitutes screamed fearfully, causing Edwin to shoot up vigilantly from his seat.
Seeing the masked man, his vigilance shit up by ten.
“Who sent you!” He demanded with a roar, drawing his sword too.
The pr0stitutes rushed into the attached bathroom to hide.
Ares was about to finally turn when Lucia entered too, joining him.
“Let’s both tackle him…..” She said under her facecloth, voice clipped.
“For fun!” Ares chorused with her, and they fased Edwin together.
“You both will regret coming here!” Edwin snarled, running towards them, his sword glinting, ready to spill blood.
TBC.
