Yibo was enraged.

He only saw red and the blood thirst that he felt in his veins would enough motivation for him to just go and rip open the chest of all those people and drink their blood.

Bastards how dare.

"Duke..." Yanli tried to call out to him.

"Yibo..." Zhan spoke.

But Yibo summoned his sword Meridia and stormed out of the room and everyone went after him.

"Duke where are you going duke?" Haoxuan asked and the other ran after him.

Zhan grabbed his hand and stopped him, "Yibo where are you going!"

Yibo was so mad that he yanked Zhan's hand and declared, "Where is that message because I am going to cut off his head and sent it back to that bitch."

Zhan's stopped him again by grabbing his hand, "Don't be a fool if you treat royal messenger like that it is like rebelling against the empire."

"AND I AM GOING TO DO THAT, I AM GOING TO REBEL AGAINST THIS MOTHER FUCKING EMPIRE," Yibo yelled, a vein had popped on his forehead because of how angry he was.

Cheng spoke, "Then let me do that."

 He said and grabbed his sword, "I mean aren't I a mad person already?"

"Stay where you are," Yibo spoke.

But Cheng fired back, "No you stat back duke, I want to behead that bastard as much as you want... but guess what the Queen will kill you but she might forgive me."

Wen Qing spoke, "No, absolutely not, mother empress does not have good intentions towards you."

Cheng rolled his eyes, "I think we all knew that."

Wen Qing spoke, "You know she is thinking of making you a part of her Harem!"

Her revelation shook Cheng to the core and his skin crawled with disgust as he felt like puking while the others were enraged as well, Zhan was as mad as Yibo now, "I will be the one to kill him."

Zhan said and walked forward and this time Yibo tried to stop him but they heard a voice that stopped them, "Father."

Yibo passed and looked at Simon who was standing there with a smile, "what are you doing here, Simon."

"I heard that the temple wants to see me," Simon answered.

Yibo clenched his fist and spoke with anger, "who told that you get back to your room and don't you dare to come out !" He scolded.

But Simon just smiled and went to Yibo and grabbed his hand, "Father please let me see them."

If before Yibo was enraged then right now he was insane, "HAVE YOU GONE MAD! GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM RIGHT NOW!"

Yibo yelled so loudly that the servants flinched but Simon smiled this is what Yibo did when Simon wanted to meet Aurelia in his last life, Yibo even locked him in the room and slapped him, in last life he saw Yibo as the villain but right now Simon can see the pure fear and worry.

Zhan was about to move and complete the task for which he took out his sword but Simon grabbed his hand.

He kept on looking at Yibo as he was holding Zhan's hand, "Father I know that they are calling because they want to check... whether I am what they want..."

Zhan sighed, "Brat you know nothing..."

"No I do, I know everything, I know that they will take my blood and drink it to see if their injuries will heal or not, or if my injury will heal or not, I know."

Because that's what they did in his last life.

Everyone looked at him, he was just a child and he should not be worried about all this.

Yibo closed his eyes and took deep breaths calming him down, before he spoke with a calm voice, "Simon... son... go back to your room your father is here to handle everything."

"I know father, you all have been handling everything for so long let me do something as well."

Zhan sighed, "Simon listen to your father."

"No, you listen to me... U can control it."

"Control what?" Yibo asked.

Simon smiled, "I can control my blood from healing their injuries and appear as a normal person, I can also make my powers disappear."

A wave of relief came to everyone's heart once they heard that and Yibo sighed with relief, "Can you really do that Simon?"

Simon nodded, "Yes I can."

Zhan spoke, "But this is still too dangerous."

However, Simon said, "But if we do this, they will not come after us anymore."

Yibo sighed as he moved back, he ran his hair through his head, "Oh goddess this too much."

"Father please trust me."

Yibo sighed, "fine."

Everyone looked at him and Cheng spoke, "Are you sure?"

Yibo shook his head, "I am really a fool, but if that makes them stop coming after us then fine... also Haoxuan..."

"Yes, duke."

"I want you to prepare the army, of something happens then I am going to wage a war on these bastards."

"yes, duke." Haoxuan then went away.

Simon smiled, his father is really paranoid.

~~~~~

So here he was now in front of the temple, with Yibo and Zhan, he felt thrilled and excited whereas Yibo's hands were as cold as eyes as he was filled with dread.

"This is not a good idea." Yibo said and grabbed Simon's heart, "We are going back."

But before he could even turn another voice was heard, "Well, well duke of the north has finally embraced us with his presence."

Zhan sighed, "too late."

Yibo glared at the man before him, Rufus.

"The saint himself has come to get me, I am really honored." Yibo said with gritted teeth, "But I guess you really should after bothering me and my son for the second time, was the first time when I bought my son her eas not enough, is it that the temple has nothing better to do?"

Zhan smiled while Simon sighed, Yibo's anger was really at its peak to think that someone so calm and compose was straight up showing disdain and not even bothering to hide his hate is a warning to everyone the Yibo is pissed.

And making him more and is going to cause destruction.

Rufus smiled, "I apologize for the trouble we have caused you, but..."

"Leave it saint... the amount of trouble you have caused, it will take your entire life just by saying sorry for all of them... and what's the use when you don't really mean it?"

Zhan and Simon laughed.

While Rufus's eyes turned cold as he looked at Yibo, "Duke, no matter how angry you are... there is an order of respect that we need to follow... I am sorry that you went through the trouble of coming here but it was necessary."

"Oh, really why was it necessary?"

"We are just worried about your son, Simon since he seems to be harboring bad luck and since we want the best for you, we are just trying to help you, we would never want to hurt you."

"My son's bad luck has only increased after he came here." Yibo said and he moved forward so that he was standing very close to Rufus, Yibo glared at him and looked straight in the eye, "Now listen here you bastard I know very well what you are trying to do and if you dared to hurt my son... then my army is just here... it will only minute to destroy this fake temple of yours.

So behave yourself you fucking Bitch."

Rufus glared back at Yibo, as he clenched his fist, he didn't like to be inferior to Yibo, he had the fact that Yibo was actually right he is really powerful and Rufus knows that Yibo means it... he can see it in his eyes.

"It will take a few moments only."

"It better."

Rufus then looked at Simon and smiled, "Young lord please follow us inside."

Simon smiled and went with Rufus while Yibo waited outside the room refusing to even move.

Simon was inside the room with Rufus in front of him, "what do you think we are going to do today?"

"I don't know," he said with a simple innocent smile.

Rufus showed him his hands and the gold lines on them, "Today I am going to check that you are special or not."

"Really? how?"

Rufus smiled, "Give me your hand young man." 

Simon did as he was told and gave his hand to Rufus who took out a small dagger, "Don't be afraid okay."

"I am very excited right now.'

Rufus looked at the kid who was smiling without any fear, he felt uneasy but he made the cut long enough to draw out plenty of blood.

Rufus then took the blood, "I am going to drink it, if these golden lines vanish then you are special and if not then you are ordinary."

Simon nodded but before Rufus could drink his blood Simon stopped him, "Can you send these people out? I want to here alone with you. " He said and Rufus was skeptical at first but he listened to him, Simon thanked him and looked at Rufus he saw Rufus drinking his blood.

Rufus looked at his hands after he dank the blood the lines were still there, si he waited a few minutes however the time was enough to read his mind.

He got to know why Rufus wants his blood, he also saw how Rufus wants to send Aurelia to manipulate Simon.

Simon smiled glad that they are not mad enough to snatch him from Yibo, and as for Aureliad his dearest mother, Simon has a score to settle with her.

So he smiled and suddenly the golden lines on Rufus's skin vanished, making him smile with happiness.

However, his smile was short-lived when his body felt heavy so heavy that he felt he was being crushed by something invisible he felt like he was being crushed by a rock and he looked at Simon was smiling he tried to call for help but no voice came out.

Simon got up from his place and sat down in front of him, "Dearest saint... my blood not only heals people it can also kill people."

As soon as he said that Saint felt immense pain in his body and he couldn't even shout, While Simon smirked, "Now now, I am not going to kill so don't be afraid... " Simon said and his eyes became red, as he spoke, "You will carry on with your plan tell the Queen that the favored is born and it is me.

Tell her to send my dearest mother to me... and also stop doing the sacrificing rituals... stop killing people and slaves. You will not lay a hand on any other slave ever again."

Simon said and smirked, "And most importantly you will not bother me and my father and anyone from the north dukedom for the next five years. And you will convince the Queen to do the same... Am.I. clear?"

Simon asked Rufus who was shocked to see the ten-year-old child talking like this felt immense pain again and so he nodded, Simon smirked, "Great... and now sit on the chair"

Rufus did as he was told and Simon sat before him, and smiled, "Forget everything that happened after you drank my blood, your mind will unconsciously follow my command and you will not remember anything and neither know why you did the things you are going to do."

Rufus felt his body get lighter again and his mind got blurry as he forgot everything that Simon said but Simon's every instruction was engraved in his mind.

He smiled again, "This is great you are indeed special... Simon... you may leave now."

Simon smiled and got up to leave once he came out of course he met with Yibo and Zhan.

And Yibo who was worried sick asked, "are you okay?"

"Yes, father."

"Well let's leave now."

He grabbed Simon's hand as they walked away, however, Simon sighed as he looked at Yibo, he was pretty sure that once Yibo gets to know what he has done he is going to get a good beating.

Forgive me father for I have sinned
