The Story of the Prince, Leiva
Chapter 15 - The Problem of the Empress Ruby
Leiva walked over to the Martial Market again to buy the items he needed, holding the parcel with the Spiritual Crystal and the silver coins inside.
First of all, he spent 4,000 silver coins on Angelic Water.
Then, he spent another 1,000 silver coins to purchase 200 Blood Pills. According to his current cultivation, a First Grade Blood Pill was enough. 200 First Class Blood Pills can support him for half a year.
Then, he bought two other medicines that could increase his cultivation, Purification Powder and Energy Pills. Both of them were extremely expensive, even genius disciples from large families could not afford such treasures when they were at the Earth Level Early Stage.
But for a rich person like Leiva, as long as it could increase his cultivation quickly, he would be willing to spend as many silver coins as he had. Finally, he finished off five Spiritual Crystals. He also bought medicine for Syifa. Leiva returned to the palace again after he stored all the Pills he had just purchased into the Stone of Space and Time.
“Kakak Syifa, this is the medicine I bought for you. It will help your arm heal faster.” Leiva took out a porcelain and gave it to Syifa.
Syifa looked a little surprised for a moment. Then a little nervous, he took the porcelain and opened it. It quickly exuded the medicinal aroma present within it.
He felt grateful and surprised at the same time and asked, “Ninth Prince, where did you get the silver coins to buy this medicine?”
It was common knowledge that a medicine with the lowest quality cost of 200 silver coins. The better one even cost 500 silver coins.
Leiva smiled and said, “Kakak Syifa, I have some secrets that I can't tell you right now. I hope you can keep this a secret for me.”
Syifa looked at Leiva deeply and nodded. She whispered, “Can I tell Empress Ruby?”
"No! Not for now," Leiva said.
"Well, you can trust me." Syifa held the porcelain in her hand tightly and felt relieved.
Since the Ninth Prince could spend hundreds of silver coins to purchase regeneration medicine, he definitely had a great chance. Perhaps the Ninth Prince would become a Martial Arts Emperor in the future.
Leiva asked, “There is one thing I cannot understand, and I hope Brother Syifa can tell me the truth. My mother is the sister of the Head of the Cronous Family. Why did he break all ties with them? What happened three years ago?”
Syifa sighed and said, “Because you are always sick and weak, and can't stand surprises, it is kept secret. But you have opened the Mythical Mark now, so I will tell you."
“You must remember, Stark Cronous, the top genius of the Cronous family. He's your cousin, and also the eldest son of the Head of the Cronous Family. He trained until Earth Level Completion when he was just 17 years old.”
“But three years ago, Stark offended another family genius, a genius greater than himself. His leg was broken by that genius, and he was sent to the Heavenly Prison.”
"How did that happen?" Leiva asked. “The Cronous family is considered one of the top great families in the Stardom Altar. Who would dare to send the top genius of the Cronous family to the Heavenly Prison? Could it be that the genius offended by Stark has an incredible background?”
Syifa nodded and said, "Yes. Stark alluded to the Seventh Prince, the brightest star in the Stardom Altar. Compared to the Seventh Prince, all the other geniuses meant nothing.”
Syifa continued, "The Head of the Cronous Family came to the palace at once to beg Empress Ruby after Stark was sent to the Heavenly Prison. She hoped that Empress Ruby could ask for the help of Prince Stardom's Altar. He'd pay any price if he'd saved Stark's life."
"Of course, Empress Ruby immediately left and asked to meet with the Prince of Stardom Altar, but she was detained by the queen. They argue about that. In a state of anger, the Queen sentenced Empress Ruby to be flogged 30 times as punishment. Empress Ruby was covered in blood and nearly died when the sentence was.”
Brak!
Leiva struck the pillar with his palm, bit his teeth, and said, “Did the Stardom Altar Prince just leave it alone without a care?”
Syifa said, “You must understand that the Seventh Prince is the most talented of the nine sons of Prince Altar Stardom. The Altar Prince of Stardom loved her very much and had great hopes for her. Prince Stardom Altar conducted a thorough investigation and found that it was entirely Stark's fault, which almost killed the Seventh Prince.”
“Altar Prince Stardom became angry because of this. She thinks that Empress Ruby is unreasonable to think of asking for help for Stark, a man who has made a big mistake.”
“Altar Prince Stardom used to love Empress Ruby very much, but after that, he treated her more coldly.”
Syifa continued, “The Cronous family does not understand the suffering experienced by Empress Ruby. They did not dare to blame the queen or the Seventh Prince, so they blamed Empress Ruby for all of that. According to them, they lost a top genius just because Empress Ruby did not ask the Prince of Stardom for help. The Cronous family expelled Empress Ruby, and have been separated from her ever since.”
Leiva took a deep breath. She felt bitter about the unfair treatment that Empress Ruby suffered. He clenched his fists and hit the pillar again.
In a deep voice, he said, "Power! Without great power, you cannot survive in this world. You can't get fair treatment!”
Leiva thought for a moment and then asked, “Has Stark been executed?”
"Not yet! Do you think that the Seventh Prince will just let it go?” syifa said, “Stark was sentenced then he became impotent and became a eunuch. He was also made a slave by the Seventh Prince.”
Leiva replied, The top “Jenius of the Cronous Family is now a eunuch, and is even made a slave by his enemy. This is just a big insult to them.”
Syifa frowned and said, “But I don't understand. Since the Cronous Family was so humiliated, why would their leader still want to marry their daughter to the Seventh Prince?”
Leiva replied, “Enterprehensible. With his talent, the Seventh Prince would succeed to the throne and become the ruler of the Stardom Altar. The Cronous family must repair the relationship between their families. Matchmaking is the best choice.”
"Secondly, since the top genius of the Cronous Family had become the servant of the Seventh Prince, the relationship between them might not be as bad as we thought. Perhaps the matchmaking between Ambrella and the Seventh Prince was a plot created by Stark.”
Staring at Leiva, Syifa did not believe that the Ninth Prince could analyze all these situations in such a clear manner. Instead of acting like that cowardly brat, he gave off a sense of wisdom.
“It seems the Mythical Sign has changed all that for him since his opening.” thought Syifa. “If Empress Ruby finds out about this, she will be happy.”
