When Simon woke up, he was back in his room.

His eyes were swollen because of crying so much and his headaches now.

He groaned as he sat down on the bed and sighed. His father will ask him why was he crying and he has no idea how will answer that, and what should he say in the first place, 'hey father I killed you in my last life because I thought that you abused my mom and kept her away from me.'

He can't face anyone now, he can't even see himself in the mirror, and facing everyone with a smile was the wore when all he wants to do is get down on his knees and apologize and he wants everyone to shout at him, yell at him punish him for his wrong but now it won't happen.

The goddess really gave him a very good punishment.

He sighed and got down from the bed. It's not the time to cry it's time to protect those people who are suffering because of him.

He remembers that when he was in a sleeping state he heard Yibo saying that those people are still doing those experiments and rituals to produce a favoured one.

Simon's eyes became cold and full of menace.

A favoured they want a favoured one they get.

But the biggest concern is Simon's age, the fact that he is a child is not helping.

He wants to be the one to annihilate the bitch of a queen and temple but first and foremost is that he has to save those people trapped in the cult of Mithras and being experimented upon.

Since the bandits have crumbled and the supply of slaves and everything else will be reduced.

That's good, Yibo and others will have to focus on rebuilding the village and rescuing the slaves that were sold.

And all of this will take time.

Whereas Royalty and Temple and not going to sit quietly because of Yibo's increasing influent they will definitely try to harm Yibo.

Simon sighed what should he do, he can go and tell everyone that he is reborn and tell all the secrets that he knows about this empire.

And Yibo and Zhan might be able to hatch a plan and bring everyone down.

But what Simon wants so something different he wants to kill those people with his own hands and he wants to rebel, because that is the only way for the empire and its pillars to crumble and then new rules will be made.

For that, he has to wait for at least five years. 

And before that, he needs to make those bastards stop doing those experiments.

But how?

Simon quickly grabbed Sean's book and opened the chapter where Sean clearly stated about tall the powers that the favour one posses and how to use them, he came across mind reading, mind control and healing for Simon to use these powers the people need to drink his blood and Simon already knew about it. There was another where he can locate the person if they had his blood in their system.

The second was body control and controlling the flow of blood in someone's else body that can even cause a heart attack or can also be used to make the body explode for these powers Just have to focus and there was no need for anyone to drink his blood.

But then he came across another power and that was controlling his own blood.

Simon read that part carefully and an idea came to his head an idea so dangerous that it can have him killed, but this was the only way to save the people and divert the attention of those people to something else.

Simon gulped and his heart was beating very fast this was a very crazy idea and he won't be able to do this alone thanks to him being a child he will be needing someone's help. 

But who?

Yibo will beat the crap out of him and lock him up if he dared to say this idea to him, rebirth or not his father won't give a crap, and the same goes for Zhan.

Maybe Cheng? no, if something goes wrong they won't be able to forgive him, he is already so broken and Zhan and Yibo won't forgive him as well.

Haoxuan? Nah that man is loyal to Yibo, Princess Wen Qing or maybe Yanli? of course not, Yanli will scold him and Wen Qing well she can help but she is the only Royal that Simon wants to live, Simon can't risk her life. 

"OH, GODDESS!" Simon screamed with frustration he remembered that he read that the founder had a bird named Azure, he wished that he also had that kind of bird that way he can sit on it and fly wherever he wants.

"I see that you are awake." Simon heard his nanny's voice and he just sighed, "I will go and tell your father he was quite worried about you."

"Yeah, yeah go ahead." That was all Simon said.

He sat up again and this time he read about the bird Azure, Azure was a celestial bird, that seemed to be created by the goddess, and she gave it to Zhan in order to help him, Simon sighed again and closed the book.

What should he do?

~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Wen Qing was standing outside the Queen's garden.

It took her a few days to find the location of this garden. 

Strange thing was that why is this garden so hidden and protected, of course, if the Queen said that no one can be heard no one in the empire would dare to go against her then why is it so hidden?

It was obvious that she cannot go inside normally.

"Miles come here," she said, "When is another batch of salves going to come?"

She asked, she had actually asked Miles and her other knights to keep a guard here, as much as she wants to uncover the secrets she also wants to live, after all, she loves her life and has dreams for example she has to be the ruler and then marry a certain grumpy retired commander.

"It should be here soon, princess but are you sure? you are going to go in there, what if Queen of the saint catches you?"

Wen Qing smiled, "I am fully prepared... that mask give it to me." she said and Miles gave her a face mask that she put on her face, the mask did change her appearance, it made her skin darker and had some scars as well, it was like another face, "It is okay?" she asked Miles who nodded.

Miles nodded, "Princess are you going in there alone?"

"I'll not go in deep, I just need to see what does queen mother does here, and what are those salves for."

"But your highness I already told you that those slaves are bought to here to work. to look after the garden?"

"Every month?! seriously Miles are you that dumb, I don't think that this garden is so big to bring in slaves every month and have you ever seen a slave leaving this place?"

"The slaves have nowhere to go your highest so it's obvious they will go nowhere."

"I don't want any more discussion on this, you stay here and with other knights, guard the place if you see the Queen coming then alert me."

"Yes. your highness."

Wen Qing said and wore the uniforms of the guards when she saw that a few guards were coming in with the slaves, she joined them and went inside but inside she saw that the guards were showing an identity, oh boy now what should she do. Because she has no ID.

When it was her turn she just stood there awkwardly, Miles this bastard had one job and he can't do that nicely.

"Show your proof."

The guard asked and Wen Qing gulped, oh boy looks like she needs to run, "We are asking you something show your ID!"

Wen Qing was about to take out the dagger from her pocket when she heard buzzing,  and she saw that the guard's eyes had widened, "Oh boy run!"

He said and then Wen Qing also saw the colony of bees coming towards them and they were the deadly ones. Miles was the one who did this. 

The guards were busy running and trying to protect themselves from the poisonous bees while Wen Qing saw this as a chance and ran inside.

She sighed when she was finally in and that's when she saw how heavily guarded this place was. 

Why would a garden be so guarded?

She walked confidently as she walked in, people seemed to not talk here, and the eerie and sinister atmosphere of this place was weird.

When he reached further in she saw bonsais, so many, bonsais at least hundreds on them they seemed too weird she sat down in front of one and observed it looked so weird. For some reason she didn't like it... the shape of its branch and the designs were also weird.

She then moved forward and then saw black roses, but the weird thing was that these roses were not giving fragrance they were giving a very foul smell very foul of that of rotting flesh.

 She went further and that's when she saw a building, she walked towards it but on her way she saw trees was very very pretty flowers, flowers so pretty that they mesmerized her, she wanted to touch them, but she focused back on the building.

She went inside the three-storey house thing, and inside there were not many guards.

It was a home, a well-decorated house and as she walked in further she saw how beautifully decorated this place was, however, she was looking for something else something odd.

She eventually came to the kitchen where she heard someone humming a song and cooking.

She couldn't their face as their back was facing her but she knew that it was a girl from her long hair and voice a maid soon came in, "Princess Lilith here is what you asked about."

What the hell? princess.

Did Queen-mother have a fourth child?

The princess took the bag and Wen Qing could see that the princess's hands had black lining on them as if black blood was flowing through her veins so thick that all her veins could be seen through the skin.

"Today I am going to cook a special dish. " The princess said and when she finally turned around Wen Qing saw her face and that made her want to puke she covered her mouth, her eyes widening with horror and her world nearly collapsed when she saw the said prince taking out a small human baby before bringing a knife and.

Wen Qing couldn't see this anymore she turned around and wanted to run now she didn't want to stay in this place for long.

She nearly ran outside, "wait!"

She stopped when she heard someone calling her. 

The person who stopped her came to her and stood before her, "You look like someone new here."

Wen Qing nodded, "What's your name and where are you from?"

"My name is Mia and I am from Nolani." Wen Qing replied.

The person who was a woman nodded and suddenly Wen Qing saw people coming from inside the building and bringing more trees with them to be planted.

The woman said to Wen Qing, "go and tell some slaves to come here."

Wen Qing nodded and as she walked ahead, the woman's assistant told her, "Ma'am that girl is lying the village of Nolani was completely ruined and no one survived from that village and the four who did were killed as well."

Wen Qing closed her eyes and sighed, 'holy shit'
The woman looked at Wen QWing again "Hey you!!"

Wen Qing, however, ran in another direction, the woman ran after her, "GUARDS GUARDS WE HAVE A TRAITOR AMONG US CATCH HER."

Wen Qing rolled her eyes, As if you can bitch.

Wen Qing ran at full speed without bothering to slow down even when she saw guards coming towards her, she took out the small razors from her pockets and threw them at the guards, killing some of them and she took out her dagger to stab the ones who survived

After the ran and hid behind a tree taking out a powder and springing it on the rose plants she then gathered two rocks and rubbed them against each other she just needed a spark a single spark.

After a few tries, she was able to create a spark and as soon as the spark fell on the plants sprinkled with powder it started to burn.

The guards noticed the smoke rising and with how precious the garden was to the queen all of them were scared for their lives and decided to put off the fire first forgetting about the traitor.

Wen Qing ran in another direction and she also ignited fire to two more bushed before the entire garden was in chaos she ran towards the gates but she was spotted by that same woman, "Stop it there."

The woman said but Wen Qing ran forward the woman took out her dagger and threw it at Wen Qing, she tried to dodge it but the dagger cut the side of her waist.

"Ahh!" Wen Qing felt like her skin burned and she finally turned around with rage, taking out her dagger she ran towards the woman and her four guards and killed them all before she ran outside, the two guards were ready to face her but she glared at them, "out of my way."

The guards were scared but they still attacked her only to be killed and she finally made it out.

"Your highness." Miles said, "are you okay?"

Wen Qing nodded, "Let's get out of here."

"But..."

Hurry up, Miles let's leave."
