Zhan smiled when he saw the letter.

His little prince was still sassy and straightforward.

It has been nine years ever since he had run away from the Duke's mansion, for nine years he has lived with the goddess as his master and has trained under her.

He and his brother have nothing received the goddess's guidance, although Zhan had made Simon forget his memories, Simon will be needing them soon, his memories of who he is plus the memories plus the memory of his past life.

Although Zhan didn't want that, so he decided that he will not make Simon remember his past life unless necessary.

Although Zhan has trained well and has increased his power immensely he still has to wait before meeting his prince.

All these years he couldn't take the prince out of his mind the guilt that he could have taken the prince with him or perhaps save the consort only if she had attended his birthday.

But alas he couldn't change Prince's fate and that will always be a reason for sadness for him but on the bright side, the prince would share the same sentiments as him.

"Zhan want are you doing?" Simon had become a handsome grown young man, just like Zhan's last life the only difference was that Simon would laugh more often and was more open about himself.

Under the goddess's guidance, he has become a powerful person and the owner of a divine sword given to him by the goddess herself because he deserved it.

Zhan smiled, "I have received a letter from my friend brother."

Simon smiled and sat down on the bed," is this friend the prince about who you are always dreaming about?"

The two chuckled, "it's not like that brother."

"I understand what the way what does the letter say?"

"My dearest friend has just lost his mother so he is a little bitter."

Simon nodded, "my condolences to him."

"How was your training today?"

"Master said that is am improving and if everything goes well in two years I can be a sword Master."

" Well done brother" that's right two more years before he has to go back.

He has to go back and re-introduce himself to the world moreover he also has to find his brother's lover.

But the problem is that he didn't know anything about Simon's lover until his father had told him about them, Simon's lover was also killed by Seth.

Zhan wonders if in this life Simon would be able to recognize his lover.

"It's time for dinner," Yanli reminded them with a calm gentle smile.

"Yes, Master." The brothers nodded and proceeded to have dinner with their master.

This is how their lives have been for the past eight years, Zhan finally realized what it means to be in bliss.

This is his family.

The next day Zhan Wrote another letter,

Dear Prince.

The bird's name in Azure

I am glad that you know how to show people their place. I like this fact about you.

I love people who are cruel yet adorable at the same time.

I wish to meet you soon, my prince but I don't think you will be able to recognize me, for your information I have a mole beneath my lips hope that will help you recognize me when we meet.

Oh and yes my brother has sent you his condolences.

Your friend,
Sean.

Zhan tied the letter to Azure and soon the bird flew away, meanwhile, Yibo who read the letter smiled faintly.

He also examined the Medicine Sean had sent him," Azure...huh"

Dear Sean,

I thank you for the medicine, I have checked it and thankfully it is not poison.

And Azure is a beautiful name, I wish to meet you soon as well, and thank you for telling me about your mole but I wonder how can someone like you who's even name is fake would help me.

I am really curious.

From Prince,
Yibo.

Yibo tied the letter to Azure's feet and fed him some rice before Azure flew away.

"Jack."

"Yea your highness."

"Did you find out something?"

"Your highness till this day there is only one human who was said to be favored by the goddess and it was Duke Seth's youngest son Zhan, but unfortunately he has died right years ago."

Yibo listened to everything with a firm face, "I see, you say he is the youngest so he had an elder sibling as well?"

"Yes your highness, Duke had two sons the eldest one was known as Simon."

Yibo pinched his chin with his thumb and forefinger," you say the two of them died than were their bodies ever discovered?"

"No your highness the bodies of those two children were never found, there were no traces of them either, no footprints, no signs of being dragged or forcefully taken no clothes no belonging no nothing.

There were no animal traces in that area as well, it's like those two children disappeared in thin air."

Yibo nodded, "I see, find out about the physical appearance of the younger one for example did he had a Bunny smile? Does he have a mole beneath his lips? Etc."

Jack nodded, "as you wish your highness."

If Yibo's doubts are correct then Zhan can be useful to him, but if he is the Duke's son then why did he disappear what happened to him in the past eight years, back then he must be only seven your old child.

A child cannot run away and survive on his own in this world, then was it all planned?

And if this is all true then why is Sean deciding to come back soon and when he had met him?

Yibo does not remember any interaction with the Duke's family then what is the connection here.

Zhan couldn't help but smile once he read Yibo's letter, as much as Zhan knows Yibo must have started to put two and two together.

In his last life, Yibo was smart enough to alone make the empress and the Saintess sweat he could rival duke in intelligence.

The only one who can compete with Yibo was his brother.

Yibo and Simon were the two smartest people in his last life, but it was sad how these two had died in this life he will make good use of these two.

Since the consorts death, Yibo might not have a good master that can be a reason for the trouble.

Zhan immediately went to goddess who only smiled at him, "tell him to go to Silas he can help him."

Zhan smiled goddess really knows everything nothing is hidden from her.

"Silas?" Yibo frowned once he read the letter why is he asking him to go, Silas, even though Yibo had his doubts he still decided to listen to Sean.

"Jack make preparations to leave for the temple tomorrow morning."

"Yes, your highness."

Yibo looked at the letter and smirked, "interesting."

Author's note: Damn aren't these two way, too smart?a

In this chapter, Zhan is 16 and Yibo is 15 so two years later tahey will be 18 and 17
