Chapter 2 Bad news

After galloping for two days,we finally arrived at the emperor's pavilion. We came down and left our horses by the side. The guards allowed us to enter freely without hesitation. We went into the main hall and saw the emperor seated alongside his son and the empress. "Greetings to the emperor, empress, and the young master". We said clasping our fist. "Un" the emperor nodded. "What are your names and what brings you here?" He asked curiously. " Your Highness,my name is Blair, and this is Lianne" Blair replied respectfully. "Can't she talk?" An arrogant voice asked.

I smiled and answered still smiling. "And what is Young Master's business if I answer or not? I asked with a glint in my eyes. "You....." He raged standing up. "Do you dare to duel with me?" He asked furiously. "A duel? Of course" I replied nonchalantly. " Alright then. Draw your weapon" He said charging at me. I drew out my saber and sword and wielded them simultaneously. Within seconds, he was at my front and his aura changed. He exuded a dangerous fighting intent. I was unbothered and soon the big hall was filled with sword clangs. Prince Deriek was a skilled fighter but my strength was on par with his. After fighting for forty minutes,he was astonished. "Stop!" The emperor said suddenly. " Your highness" I bowed. "You have a powerful Constitution" he said admiringly. " Your Highness, we are all in danger" Blair said.

"Danger?" Mabel the empress repeated. "What danger?" Deriek said in a more polite tone. 'Hmm, he is tamed at last' I thought.

"Fifty years ago, the human world was invaded by some monsters. These monsters suck the souls of human beings and are very powerful. They are called the Aphimum Demons and live in a planet called Amaga" Blair narrated. "My parents were brutally killed by them and I barely escaped. But for some reason, they all went back after encountering something which I don't know" I said in a sad tone. " Okay,so what's the danger you are talking about? " The emperor asked." They want to take away the emerald essence of life", Blair said. " What!!!!" The emperor and Deriek shouted at the same time. " Your Highness,we came to inform you and also offer our help" We bowed and politely left.

"My Lord, it seems Missy is planning on helping the Humans" Emelek reported. " What!" I shouted and teleported into my daughter's room. " What are you doing?" I asked in rage. " Dad, I want to help the Humans, the Aphimum Demons are strong and the Humans can't stop them alone" my daughter Leah replied strong headedly. "As you wish then" I said. I held her hands and we teleported to a certain place. This place is the bridge between our world and Earth. I chanted some words and she vanished. "Bye Leah" I mumbled silently and teleported back to the throne room. "Summon the priestess. Tell her to come with the crystal ball; I need to monitor my daughter's movements" I ordered. " Yes my Lord" Emelek said and left.
