Monarch of Darkness

"My queen, please give us permission to attack the Golden orb kingdom. We will be the spearhead for the Thousand swords kingdom. This enmity shall be paid in blood", one of the Sylvia clan warriors said with emotion.

"Everyone, please state your opinions. I want to hear everyone's opinion before deciding our next course of action", Brianna asked calmly.

"We must give them a befitting reply", one of the Oldman who followed Brianna spoke.

"Our family has the same opinion as Rowlett family head", a middle aged man followed the words of previous old man. There were many who started to speak in support of a counter attack after the previous two. Brianna observed everyone's expression in a calm and collected manner.

"All of you can stop now. I have listened your opinions", she raised her hand and everybody stopped speaking. Then she turned her gaze to the old man sitting next to her. "Uncle Mario, what do you think?", Brianna looked at the old man sitting near him. The crowd became silent when Brianna asked the old man near him. The old man didn't replied immediately. After sometime, a sigh came from his mouth.

"This is clearly a trap of enemy. But we can't sit silently this time. I will personally lead our first attack", the old man spoke with a firm look. A glint appeared on the eyes of Brianna as she nodded in agreement.

"Actually, we just have to think about our second attack. Our first counterattack is already underway", Brianna spoke with a mysterious tone.

"Little girl, what do you mean by second attack?", old man Mario asked in confusion. The other warriors who were present also got confused by Brianna's words. For a moment, everyone's questioning gaze lingered on her.

"Uncle Gillen has left with old man Lui and fourth sword Larson. I am sure they will be successful in their mission", Brianna replied in a calm tone.

"Oh! So, Gillen has already come out of his seclusion. I wonder what is his cultivation realm now!", old man Mario chuckled slightly.

Evan had no idea about what was going on in Sylvia clan at this moment. He was trying his best to control his body and the raging impulse coming from within. It had been a day since he was trying his best to control his body. 

Inside his body, the dark coloured blood was still glowing dimly. He was trying hard to calm his blood but it was still seething time to time. As a result, his eyes were becoming pitch black time to time.

Suddenly, he felt another source of energy inside his blood. He covered his own body with soul consciousness and found the red strands of blood flowing within him started to glow with a golden luster.

He didn't know why but his will strengthened unspeakably. When he tried again to calm his seething dark blood, it calmed down with ease. 

Evan waited for a bit but didn't feel his eyes becoming pitch black again. Strangely, there were violent impulses still coming from his blood but he could reign on his impulses now.

"Done, it is finally done", Evan sighed in relief.

"I have a feel previously that my human bloodline is strong but I have never imagined it to be able to strength my will. I wonder what is this bloodline called. I will ask aunt Brianna later", Evan thought inside his mind.

"I wonder, how is mother now?", Evan thought while he walked out of his room. The guards greeted him as soon as he walked out of his room. Evan nodded at them and walked towards the exit of his palace. "Finally, our prince has agreed to come out of his room. Now everyone can breath in relief", one of the guard murmured.

"His killing intent is too shocking. I almost get a heart attack after seeing him taking oath that day", a middle-aged guard followed after the words of previous guard.

"You are right. I have heard that he has many unpleasant encounters when he get lost in Redwood forest", another guard chimed in.

"That explains why he has such heavy killing intent. He must have fought many battles to survive in the Redwood forest". 

"You guys, what are you murmuring among yourselves?",a icy voice came in from a distance. The Sylvia clan guards looked towards the source of voice and show Brianna approaching their place with rapid footsteps.

Everyone hurriedly greeted her but she walked towards the room of Evan without glancing at them. She looked around but couldn't find anyone. "Is he out already?", Brianna asked the guards.

"Yes, my queen. The prince has left his room not a long time ago", the guards replied in unison. Olivia left hurriedly after she heard their replies. The guards breathed out in relief after she left. "First queen has become more scary after she has gone to the capital", a Sylvia clan guard spoke.

"It looks like she is highly anxious about the prince", another guard followed after the previous. 

Brianna went straight towards the place when Olivia was resting. She opened up the door and found Evan sitting Infront of his mother. Evan was looking at Olivia with worry. He turned his head to look when Brianna walked in. Two drops of tear slid past the cheeks of Brianna after he saw Evan.

Brianna didn't know herself when did she cry. "You, are you okay?", Brianna asked. Evan nodded his head and replied, "Aunt, I am okay but why are you crying?"

Brianna hurriedly wiped out her tears and spoke, "You are talking nonsense. When did I cry?".

Evan could feel her chaotic emotions and could feel the her love for him. He felt pained in his heart after looking at her. He had already accepted Brianna as a family member but didn't think about her a single time. In these few days, he had only cared about her mother. He had never thought a single time about his aunt.

Evan didn't know what to say. He lowered his head with guilt. After some time, he mustered his courage and asked, "Aunt, are you well in these few years?"

Brianna looked at him with a stunned expression. Her eyes again welled up again without her knowing. "You little brat, you have grown up", she laughed slightly while wiping her tears. Evan felt relieved after seeing her smile.

"Aunt, when will mom wake up?", Evan couldn't wait longer and asked as soon as he saw the situation became normal. "You little brat, you didn't have to worry about her. She will wake up in few days", Brianna replied.

"Okay, you little brat. Come with me. Someone is waiting to see you. Remember not to be discourteous", Brianna took the hand of Evan and dragged him with her. Evan felt perplexed but he didn't do anything to resist her.
