The day of the party arrived soon, many guests came and they all greeted Zhan and Simon.

Both of them were treated pretty well, but it wasn't anything fun.

Simon especially was bored as heck, the only thing which he enjoyed here was the food and Wine.

Another thing that pissed him off was the parasite named Sapphire she has been clinging to him like a damn parasite her voice her actions everything about her is getting on his nerves

"Sir you know that I am a noble right? even if you are a winner of the hint you are still a mere commoner rejecting a noble like me and making me angry will do you no good, just come with me I will treat you well"

She said and that was the last straw because then he pushed her away rather harshly and walked away while she was fuming with anger behind him.

"Looks like you are quite bored here Sir Simon," it was a young man who was shorter than him and was drinking wine the same as him.

"Indeed I am, may I know who are you gentleman?"

The man smiled, "I am the Marquis Zhang Zhehan"

Simon smiled, "It's an honor to meet you, Marquis."

"The honor is my Sir Simon your swordsmanship was amazing in the hunt and many ladies here have their eyes on you.

Moreover, if the emperor wants he can assign you as a royal knight, which is quite a high honor."

Simon smiled, "You are flattering me, Marquis I am not that great, I wouldn't be able to win without my younger brother."

"Ah yes your younger brother, he is here as well, "

"Yes he is and even the third prince was amazing in the hunt."

Zhehan smiled, "To openly praise the young price when the empress's family and empress herself is here is like inciting a challange, sir."

Simon took a sip of his drink and Zhehad continued, "if you gained an important title then the empress will definitely ask you to be on her side, and that would be trouble som for you"

"Hasnb;t she asked you to be on her side?"

Zhehan laughed, "I don't like the crazy empress and I also don't see any benefit in supporting the third prince who is the son of a traitor but nowadays the third prince has indeed intrigued me.

That kid is smarter than he presents himself to be"

Simon and Zhehan both looked at each other and smiled.

Meanwhile, Zhan went to the third prince who was busy socializing, "Are you enjoying the party, Sir Sean?"

Zhan chuckled, "How can I not. What about you prince."

"I am having a lot of fun as well, here but I am still waiting for the surprise you promised me."

"Oh, it will arrive soon your highness, by the way how is your wound?"

Yibo took a sip of his drink, Zhan had cut his hand and applied his blood on Yibo's wound and as a result, Yibo's wound healed quickly that clearly meant that Zhan's blood has the power to heal.

And it can become dangerous for Zhan if the world got to know yet he told his secret to Yibo so easily.

"My wound has healed Sir Sean the medicine you gave me has worked a miracle."

"I am glad to hear that it's a secret recipe given to me by my master herself"

"Such a miraculous medicine should be protected at all cost"

"Indeed."

"Can you tell me about this medicine as well Sir Sean?" it was the empress who had interrupted their conversation.

Sean had seen her after a long time but she was still as elegant and graceful as before, "I am sorry your majesty but it's a secret."

"A secret that you can share with the third prince but not with his mother."

Yibo smiled but his smile was not a smile how dare this bitch calling herself his mother.

"Mother empress you are healthy and graceful you don't need this medicine and hopefully you will never be in the need of it in the future.

Also, Sir Sean is my friend and a talk between friends should remain between friends right Sir Sean."

"Indeed."

"So you are third prince's friend?" The empress asked with a sharp gaze, someone like Sean and Simon should be on the crown princes' side how she let go of them.

"I wonder if you both want a powerful poison you might wanna be a knight for my son."

Sean looked her in the eye and spoke with a voice that screamed that he was challenging her, "I am already a friend of your son your majesty and I promise you to always support, defend and protect your son the third prince your Majesty."

The empress glared at Zhan before smiling, "I see. you are one tonight man Sir Sean"

"Thank you, your majesty" Zhan said this was the beginning a lot of events were going to happen on this night and Zhan's smile widened when he heard the arrival of his father and mother the duke and Duchess of the Akkarian empire.

Zhan looked at his brother Simon who looked back at him and they both then looked at their parents, it was time to finally meet these two.

The duke Seth and Irene were smiling and looked like such a happy couple but the nobility had known the great loss they had suffered and the fact that the duchess had changed after that was not a hidden fact.

In the entire nation, only the duke had the power to go against the royalty and bring them down, only the duke can scare the empress and her family thus having the duke on her side was important but she dislike Irene.

Becuase of ehr riude and arorgant perosnality.

The emperor and empress greeted the duke and the duchess.

"You two should mee the winners of the hunt they are two brothers and their name is Simon and Zhan," The emperor said.

Irene and duke felt something off after hearing their names especially Irene.

Simon and Zhan smirked before coming in front of the duke and duchess, and the moment Irenes saw their face her eyes widened and she stumbled back even the duke felt weird but was shocked by Irene's reaction.

The entire hall was silent was quite surprised after seeing this, Irene then burst into crying and yelled, which shocked the emperor and the empress, "SIMON, ZHAN MY SONS!!!"

The empress covered her mouth and the emperor's eyes widened, the entire hall was silent and everyone has shocked out off their wits, while Yibo took a sip of his drink and watched the drama unfold.

"interesting" Zhehan smiled and took a sip of his drink as well.

Even the duke glanced at the two young men, while Irene hugged them both. 

"What? the duchess's dead sons?"

"I heard they had died in a carriage accident"

"But their bodies weren't discovered"

"So that means that they are really her son?"

"The duchess has been crazy ever since her children died maybe it's her assumption"

"Yeah right, it's been years how can the dead children come back now?"

Zhan and Simon hugged her back, "Yes mom we are back"

This shocked the crowd even more.

"So this is true?"

"They are really duke's children"

"No wonder they have so much strength."

"And it's a huge coincidence that they are brothers"

"How can we trust this is true?" the empress Diana said.

And her father Raymond spoke next, "Indeed my lord how can they prove that they are indeed your children"

This made Irene furious, "So you are saying that I and my children are wrong how dare your Duke Raymond Kyrith!!"

"You are wrong here duchess it's' just that the duke WeiXiao is a very important person in our impure many people are after his position, so it can be a scam as well"

The empress spoke next, "Indeed, and many things are suspicious here, where were these two all these years, and why have they came back now and why didn't they go to meet you?"

Zhan spoke, "Allow me to answer that, your majesty, after the carriage accident that day we had lost our memories and were gravely injured it was then a woman picked us up and nursed us

She later became our master and only a few days ago our memories came back and we decided to come back and as to what we didn't meet our parents was because we were nervous sp we thought about giving them a surprise."

Irene smiled, "I see"She then touched Zhan's face, "My youngest son had a mole under his lips too and had the same eyes."

The empress's father spoke against, "But even so how can you suddenly..."

"Allow me to say something here..."It was Yibo who interfered, 

"Go ahead prince," the emperor said.

"As far as I know physical appearance and coincidences can be deceptive but I think all of you have forgotten that in this empire there has been only one person till date who was favored by the goddess ankh herself.

And that person was the duke's youngest son Zhan, if he is really the duke's son then the one who can recognize him is the high priest and my master Silas."

The crowd murmured and the emperor nodded" The prince is right to go and summon the high priest."

Silas only smiled when he received the order of summoning, and when he reached the party everyone looked at him with anticipation.

"I know why I have been summoned here, your majesty."

"Then please go ahead and clarify everyone's suspicion here high priest."

Silas nodded and held Zhan's hand, before a golden light emerged in the room, "Your majesty, the duchess is right this man here is indeed is favored by the goddess and to date, there is the only person known who had the goddess as his guardian."

Noises filled the room and Irene was so glad that he hugged her sons, and the empress who was shocked but shock soon turned into disappointment dukes' youngest son favors the third prince and the High priest is his master.

The third price has an influence on the duchy as well the temple, the empress almost fainted after this realization, this isn't good the third prince has become too much now he has to die.

Even Sapphire was scared how will she and her family survive after offending the duke's eldest son who will probably be the duke in the future?

"Sons you both will come with me to our home right?" Irene said and the two nodded and this time the duke moved forward and hugged his two children.

"My children I have missed you both a lot" he spoke, he hopes that now his and Irene's relation can improve.

Zhan laughed internally, of course, you have old hag, after all, my mother must have made your life hell.

Yibo also smiled he was one of the happiest here especially after seeing the empress's face. and he smiled even more brightly when the empress glanced at him making her angrier.
