"So what is that you wanted my help with prince Danielle and empress Diana?" Zion spoke as he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Currently, he was meeting with empress Diana and prince Danielle.

The first prince Danielle spoke, "We need your help, your majesty, we need your help to raise a rebellion."

Zion raised an eyebrow, "Continue I am listening."

Diane spoke, "It was Danielle who was supposed to be the crown prince but that prince took his title."

"But I heard that it was your father who attacked the emperor and the third prince saved him that's why he became the crown prince I say he was really deserving."

Diane spoke, "He is an excellent liar and schemer, Your Majesty, he and his friend Zhan, they both tricked my father."

"But how can they trick sich a powerful and worse man whose daughter is the empress."

"That's something we don't know, how were they able to control my father but please your Majesty please help us."

Zion nodded, "I see, but even if I help you what will I get? I already have wealth, power, money what is something special that you can give me?"

Danielle and Diana looked at each other before Diana nodded, they have to give up to survive.

Danielle cleared his throat and then spoke, "Your majesty what if we tell you that we can give you a very powerful holy object?"

A holy object? please continue I am listening."

"Your majesty Sean Zhan WeiXiao is a man who is favored by the goddess, he has immense power and his blood cab heal any poison and disease."

Danielle took out a bottle and cut his own hand pretty deeply before applying the blood on it and his hand suddenly healed and that made Zion interested.

Danielle continued, "if can capture him then there is a way to make him into a holy object, and his blood can be used to cure any disease, his powers can be sued to conquer the world and can grant a long life."

Zion smiled when he remember that grumpy man, Sean Zhan WeiXiao huh?

Meanwhile, Yibo was at the library reading some books related to the goddess ankh.

He was busy researching Zhan these past few days.

After closing his tenth book he leaned back on his chair and thought.

Zhan's parents were his enemies, the empress, and Adeena are also his enemies, Sapphire and her family were also his enemies not to mention Sapphire had only known Zhan for a few days.

And Zhan left home when he was seven and that seemed to be a plan, how come a seven years old child made so many enemies.

And Zhan is his friend for a long time but for some reason they didn't know him until he started sending him letters.

But something has definitely happened to Zhan, Yibo has also read that the goddess ankh can go to any lengths for the one she favours she can even turn the cosmic law for the one she favours.

Yibo then sat straight, wait a minute go against the law? then can she go against the law of time?

Yibo's eyes widened, Maybe all these people did hurt Zhan, and that too pretty badly but the goddess turned back time for him?

And now since Zhan knows the future and knows about everyone's true nature he can easily defeat them.

Yes! Yibo's theory may be far fetched but this is what makes sense.

The goddess truly reversed time for him and maybe he was really Zhan's friend from the past.

"Am I disturbing you? Crown prince Yibo," Zion interrupted Yibo's chain of thoughts.

"No, no you aren't disturbing me at all, emperor Zion, but let's go out and talk since this is a library."

Zion nodded once they were outside Yibo asked, "Are you enjoying your stay here?"

"Yes, I am, your kingdom's culture and people have impressed me, the crown prince."

"Thank you, emperor."

"That day at the party, you friend Sean, he seemed to not like me much."

Yibo smiled, "It's nothing like that Your Majesty he was just in a bad mood that day."

"That's a relief, he seemed a pretty interesting guy, I would like to know more about him."

Yibo nodded, why is this creep showing so much interest in Zhan?

"I also heard a rumor about him, something like he is favored by the goddess?"

Yibo smiled, this man is suspicious there is no way Yibo would let him meet Zhan.

"Those are just rumors don't mind them, he is just a normal human like all of us"

"Then can we meet him?"

Yibo smiled, "Actually he is not well these days and I am afraid he won't be able to meet you."

"A little meeting won't cost much time."

"For someone like home every passing moment is important your majesty I am sorry but I cannot force him."

Zion looked at Yibo, and he looked back at him before Zion replied, "I see."

Zhehan was drunk, he spent his entire day drinking if not working, and today Simin was with him.

"You should stop now marquis."

"I can't...and why don't you join me, duke."

"I would but  I have to go somewhere after this hence I won't be able to drink today."

Zhehan just smiled and drank to his heart's content, and Simon can only watch him because he didn't know how to comfort him.

In the end, Zhehan put his head on the table, "I am really useless, aren't I? I wish I could have done something to help him."

He sighed, "Just...in how much pain was he to end himself like that? he who loved for his family didn't think anything about them?"

Simon clenched his fist when he thought that there was a chance that his brother was involved in this.

Simon got up from his place and placed Zhehan's hand around his shoulder before taking him outside and helping him sit in the carriage.

"I am sorry for what happened to you, and I will try to find out why this happened."Simon said to half-conscious Zhehan and patted his head," I just hope Zhan is not behind this."

Simon then came out of the carriage and it was A-Yuan to whom he ordered, "A-Yuan drop him to his home and come outside to the imperial palace after you are done."

"Yes, brother." A-Yuan was gone after that.

A cold wind blew and Simon looked at the dark cloudy night sky, before walking towards the imperial palace.

He went to the dungeons and stopped before a particular cell, and the guard behind him spoke, "This is it, duke."

Simon nodded and asked the guard to leave before entering the cell, on his own.

The guards have already told him about the insane behavior of the duke Seht WeiXiao but Simon wanted to meet him.

When Simon entered the prison he saw blood everywhere, and a figure crouching at the very corner of the cell with long hairs and he seemed to be eating something.

"Seth..."Simon called out to him and the figure stilled before turning around and when Simon saw him he nearly stumbled.

Seth was at the corner, the high and mighty duke was sitting there in torn dirty clothes and messy hair while his face was covered in blood because he was...eating his own fingers.

Simon nearly puked but controlled himself this man has gone insane and Simon thought that maybe coming here was a mistake and he wouldn't be able to make this guy talk.

Seth however tried to attack him but Simon dogged him before kicking him.

Simon then took out two small bottles this was Emerald's medicine that is his brother's blood, maybe this can heal him for a few minutes.

Simon then braced himself and kicked the man again before the man screamed while facing the ceiling and that's when Simon got the chance to pour the blood in his mouth.

Simon then waited for a few seconds before he saw the man stopped screaming and looked around the cell, before looking at Simon he seemed to have come back to his sense.

"Are you back now?" Simon asked

And Seth finally looked at him or more like glared at him in a more human-like way, "Abomination."

"Good let's talk."
